Physics - Tumblr Posts
I canât get over the fact that my physics book was written by D. Halliday. I mean, sure, itâs not James D. Halliday, but close enough, right?

Hi! For all intents and purposes, Iâm just a silly lil guy. Iâm also chronically eepy! This, along with my obsession with space, physics, math, latin, and my two beloved puppers basically sums up my entire personality.
Iâm not above a silly pun, some word play, or a good shitpost so just be prepared hehe (:
What Is Reality? [Official Film]
If youâre curious this is long for Tumblr but so easy to watch.
I am sad.. My teacher in uni said that I'm too weak and I can't even understand basic thing and he conclure this with laughing...
I was thinking of studying my PhD soon but after what he said, I feel so confused ant numb... I have a serious question... Did we really need others to recognize us and see our efforts? Did we nedd their motivation?
Can I just say that as a future engineer, and hopeful candidate for the NASA space program Katherine Johnson, and NASA engineer Mary Jackson are the women I look up to. Every day I go to class I get my male peers treating me like I do f have the capability to understand the coursework. I get declined internships because they donât feel I could handle the workload like the âstrong men on the floor.â However none of these small inconveniences even pale in comparison to the suffering these brave, brilliant women had to go through to garner the respect they so deserved. Despite all the hardship, injustice, prejudice, and hate they received from a society who refused to see their worth simply because of what they looked like, these women kept fighting. They fought the good fight, and helped pave the way to a better future. A future where men and women alike could touch the stars. These are the women I want to make proud. These are the women that I want to succeed for.
Katherine Johnson (b. 1918) is a physicist and mathematician who has made crucial contributions to several NASA missions, assuring their success with her highly accurate calculations. She worked with NASA for several decades, and helped advance the rights of both African-Americans and women.
She initially worked as a human computer, and later as an aerospace technologist. She calculated trajectories for missions such as the 1961 Mercury mission or the 1969 Apollo 11 flight. She was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson in the 2016 film Hidden Figures.

![A set of images on a white background with overlaid black sans-serif text. Above, the title reads "Come study PHYSICS" "totally a real science and (clumsily underlined in red) not magic!" The exclamation point is clumsily added in red. "we have..."
The top left image is of a glowing radioactive rock. The text reads "Glowing death aura rock", which is scribbled out in red. Then "radioactive isotopes (has the power to level entire cities but ITS NOT MAGIC)".
The top right image consists of the circuit diagram for a full bridge rectifier, the Euler-lagrange equation, and a vector calculus identity. The text reads "THEY ARE NOT RUNES SHUT UP".
The bottom left image is of an apple on a metallic plate, hovering above a base with a wire coming from it. Overlaid white text reads "it's not levitation it's [gap] uhhhh magnets".
The bottom middle image is a monochrome image of a man standing next to two metal hemispheres, about the size of a large melon - the demon core experiments. Bold red text reads "NOT a real demon" and "we are NOT SUMMONING DEMONS".
The bottom right image is of a glass device. It is bulb shaped, and largest at its top. It has many cylindrical glass projections from its bottom, which are brightly glowing blue. The main bulb also glows blue, though more dimly. It is in a dark room and has many wires protruding from it. It is a mercury arc rectifier. White overlaid text reads "what the fuck".](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5fd8757d3819bbe86fc7c548401a0c2e/d150ce34cecabad4-2a/s500x750/dc344c18531d817b28d15fea48afa3e21cd97305.png)
truthfully, my soul longs
for the warm embrace of faith in something bigger,
just as much as it rejects
the cold handshake of the vengeful God
(or a Godâs vengeful believers,
depending how you see it).
no, i seek not religion;
like the atoms of my very being
i crave the emergence of crystals.
could i be greater than the sum of my parts?
is there a someone
or a something
who walked through the dingy magick store of space-time
and rifled through the gently clinking boxes of rocks and gems
and somehow
amongst the clutter and sparkle
chose to pick me up,
dust me off,
and take me home?
am i to one day be displayed
on the trinket shelf of the universe?
perhaps this is the journey of life:
being carried softly home
and placed amongst the precious things
as a tender voice says
âoh, arenât you beautiful?â
i think it's really really funny that high school physics introduces kinematics with gravity and electromagnetism with triboelectricity.
hello children. witness the things we Do Not Understand
Some things simply cannot be changed

For some unrelated reasons does anybody out there know how explosives work and could they please explain it to me as if I were a fucking moron? Like let's just pretend I'm an idiot
