Trollface Science

Nerds.

OT: This was hilarious, and I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm a total ignorant on this field ;_;

Assuming a 1 lightyear long stick could even be conceivable, how would anyone hold it, poke with it or be far enough away to be poked by it? How do you poke that accurately with a stick thousands of times longer than the distance from the earth to the sun?

Unless i'm mistaken, the distance from the earth to the sun is way more than 1 LY (way way way more)

Logic? In MY Troll Science thread?



I REGRET NOTHING FOR MAKING YOU LOAD A 2.3 MB .GIF

NO REGRETS. EVER.

Unless i'm mistaken, the distance from the earth to the sun is way more than 1 LY (way way way more)

The distance from the earth to the sun is about 8 light minutes, iirc.

I fuckin' lol'd

Ah you're right, i was getting confused with something else.

Yayyy I like this one!

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE RIGHT WAY

Even though it's quite a bit out of the scope of my knowledge, thinking rationally, the transfer of the kinetic in this case happens simultaneously among multiple atoms, whilst light energy transfers through space via the same exact photons.
The problem is, though, if the displacement of the googolians of atoms of that stick does not happen simultaneously, it would take an equally long time for your poke to be felt. I just don't see why it should not happen simultaneously.

I googled about it after posting, actually. The atoms would move at the speed of sound. What is the speed of sound of your stick? I have no idea. The speed of sound in air is around 1,200 km/h at sea level. In steel, it is over 3.2 km/s.

The speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s, about.

Alright geniuses explain how this wont work

Gravity would pull you out. The water stays there because sealing off the top and sucking the air out creates a pressure imbalance. 14 lbs/in^2 of force push the water up, and 9.8*waterMass push the water down, approximately.

Does someone know how to do that math? I sucked at fluid dynamics in Physics.

the "u jelly" got me lol

1 atm = 101.325 kN/m^2

So 101,325 Newtons / area pushing up on the water.
9.8*mass Newtons pushing down.

area is in meters^2 and mass is in kgs(?).

What does this mean? D:

Google is pissing me off. How much surface area do we want our troll pool to have?

Alright hazzy here is another one

Alright hazzy here is another one

waste of time if it doesn't generate enough power to cover the fan o_o

200 ft radius, circular pool

The fan is blowing into the windmill.

Electricity goes into fan. Eletricity leaves fan in form of heat and movement of blades. Blades move air and heat it up. Air moves windmill and heats it up. Windmill generates electricity. Energy is lost from the heat. You lose.

waste of time if it doesn't generate enough power to cover the fan o_o

NVM

hazzy is a genius give this man or woman an award
