This is funny, but I can tell you why right now without a study
Glasses give you an immediate and blinding indication if your mask is not worn properly. If you wear glasses you are more likely to secure the mask tightly to ensure you dont fog up your glasses.
And 2, no one can sneeze or cough on ur eyeballs
I know the study hypothesized that it’s because glasses wearers don’t touch their face as much. But as a glasses wearer, I think Fatsexybitch is onto something with #1.
I’m pretty sure glasses-wearers touch our faces more on average, as we adjust the sit of our glasses
The Mythbusters tested what would happen if a ball was shot at 60 mph off the back of a truck travelling at 60 mph to see what would happen.
It became a perfect example of the relative nature of physics - showing that velocity can vectorially add together. 60 mph in one direction cancels the 60 mph in the other, meaning a net velocity of zero.
thanks, you discovered vectors. Fuck me sideways this is dumb
Yup, everyone has the same level of knowledge as you. There’s no one to learn anything from this.
Just to add, before the Mythbusters did this it was purely a thought experiment and had never been empirically tested at that point. So you are seeing in those two gifs the first actually test of that hypothesis since it had been proposed back in Newtons time.
As an astrophysicist I’d like to apologize for @surrenderless rude ass comment. We’re not all pretentious and like they said above, this was the first time this was ever tested. Imagine being so pretentious to something more profound like the double slit experiment.
Even more than all of that, usually visualizing science and math helps people better understand it! What’s more likely to stick with you: an equation or a cool video showing the effects of relative velocity?
also it looks cool? People shoot off fireworks all the time, it’s always the same pyrotechnics and whatnot that makes fire, but it. looks cool. and things that look cool sometimes have value on their own?
A couple months ago, someone taught me newlyweds used to plant sycamore trees on both sides of a walkway leading to their house, then join them together to symbolize two becoming one. Today I saw it for the first time. (by frique)
