So, this is what I get for ordering books from a goofy newagey mail-order book-club like “One Spirit”. I ordered “Neuroscience for Dummies”; “Quantum Man” a biography of Richard Feynman by Lawrence Krauss; “The Quantum Universe” by Brian Cox; “Hallucinations” by Oliver Sacks; and a Night Sky Atlas… So what do they send as my “free gift” for... - http://jakelsewhere.tumblr.com/post...

skepticalavenger: we-are-star-stuff: loveandmolecules: chamlurve: i believe this belongs to my blog, it’s a princess bubblegum thing. SCIENCE Science!  But what IS that stuff??? Stephen didn’t explain, in the episode, what the red sand that floats is made of, but he did explain that the blue sand was treated with that Scotch Gaurd spray-on waterproofing stuff you can buy for shoes. A quick googley yeilds several videos demonstrating how to make your own, like this one. And really, watch QI (if you don’t yet), its both hysterically funny and often insightful.

benetherington: loveincolororg: Printable Salvation Army protest vouchers. They read: This holiday season I am supporting organizations that do not discriminate in any way against people based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other reason. I will not donate to the Salvation Army until the organization ceases to discriminate against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community in hiring, firing and promotion, and in the provision of benefits. I was thinking about printing something similar to this. This will do nicely, thanks. I’m kind of dubious that stuffing these things into the kettle will do anything in the long run. But its a nice and cathartic gesture. Just be sure to follow up by donating to some actually worth-while charities.

skeptikitty: theoriginalspike: strixxvaria: miishakasha: littleartistan: r4dscare: ryanbutt: itsallsofuckingbeautiful: Klein bottles are inherently fascinating. An object that for all intents and purposes, that is utterly useless except in its ability to describe the failing of mathematics, and the human mind as a result. My dad bought me one for my twentieth, and I honestly believe it is the most amazing thing in human comprehension… Or out of it. Klein bottles are constructed out of one side of glass. I’ll let that sink in for a second: it only has one; a singular side. Even more perplexing is the inability for human language or mathematics to come up with descriptive tense for it: due to mathematics failing when presented with a Klein bottle, it has no theoretical volume. Despite this, it can hold volume, even though it has none of its own. Even more confusing, is that it is technically a four dimensional object: an linear object that as you fill, defies physics and technically time itself. Being a single sided object, it is non orientable: imagine for example a piece of paper with only one side. if you look at the edge, Which side is the side faces left? Which faces right? The answer? Neither exists. In all intents and purposes Klein a purely intangible: whilst it is possible to own one, it does not exist. Being entirely unfathomable in depth and volume, it technically encompasses all things: at this moment in time you are both inside and outside of every Klein bottle in existence. A step further highlights human fallibility even more: it is a four dimensional object, that is bound in three dimensions, disregarding the fourth. The thing I like about Klein bottles is their simple complexity: entirely unfathomable yet entirely simple: it is just a mass of glass shaped to become itself. But it has no mass at all, and whilst you may use three grams of glass to make it, once it reaches that shape, it has no mass at all. This is the limit of human understanding. This is where we lose our knowledge, this is where every single thing we, you, and I know, means nothing. And it’s just a simple glass bottle. So simple, and yet so exquisitely, impossibly, outrageously complex. My Klein bottle both encompasses you, and you encompass it. But our minds cannot encompass anything. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the true manifestation of the end of human understanding, more complex than infinite black holes: the Klein bottle. The only form in the world that both exists, and doesn’t. I made this post to highlight a point I couldn’t explain but wanted to. Everything we know, everything we experience is subject to our own failings, or successes as they may be. True understanding of the world, is to accept that we understand nothing, even understanding itself. WHAT BUT HOW DO YOU USE IT?! LIKE, HOW DOES THE LIQUID COME OUT? NO SCREW THAT, HOW DO YOU GET THE LIQUID INSIDE IT?! I give you a hamburger. DON’T YOU FUCKIN’ START THAT This messes with my head. I want one so I can see if I can make sense of it with my hands instead. Somewhat related, today The Unspeakable Vault (of Doom) explored a handful of other “impossible” shaped objects.
