Physics Can Be Fun

Thanks Shiney - thats a really good demonstration - and so simple.

 

Very interesting but also, how random? :D

 

Amazing , ive never seen that before .. thanks

 

That is very kewl and now I want one!!!

 

I thought everyone knew that.

 

Foucault Me

 

Thats even better than the Newtons Cradle !!

Foucault pendulum - thanks Ziggy . I was trying to remember the name , they have one in the science museum London - suspended from the roof apex all the way down the stair well . It demonstrates the earths rotation -if you need to have it demonstrated !

 

Its better than when I learnt it at college, and saw the concepts proven through mathematics and hand drawn graphs.

 

Foucault to do with me

 

I could see that one coming before too long :D !! Some people do have unfortunate names..............
Stan Still, Anna Sasin, Hazel Nutt, Barb Dwyer and Justin Case .
One of my firms agents in the states is called Jo King - Honest

 

Just found these unfortunate names on the Telegraph website. the last one from Kendal is so normal but a classic :D

Retired airman Stan Still, 76, from Cirencester, Glocs, said his name had been “a blooming millstone around my neck my entire life”.
"When I was in the RAF my commanding officer used to shout, ‘Stan Still, get a move on’ and roll about laughing," he told the BBC.
"It got hugely boring after a while."
But 51-year-old Rose Bush, from Coventry, West Midlands, added to the broadcaster: “I always get comments about it but they are always very positive.”
Another woman, Jenny Taylor, of Kendal, Cumbria, also wrote: “Mine tops the lot. Think about it.”
