Without geniuses, our understanding of mathematics, literature and music would be completely different. Concepts that we now take for granted, like gravity, planetary orbits and black holes, might still be undiscovered. Check out the links on the next page for lots more information about the ...
it’s the positive part of the movement. When you’re letting the weight go back down, it’s the negative part of the movement. Most people tend to focus on the positive, while ignoring the negative (most commonly, simply letting the weight drop back down ...
- Remember to number your drawings and if possible write out the premise of the scenes (under the panels) so I can quickly troubleshoot spots where I may get lost in the action. Very rough, simple shapes and forms, strong lines of action, lots of movement, no dialogue. Have fun... T...
Bending your elbow also puts the weight in an inefficient position overhead, so you’re forced to realign your arm and torso to keep the load over your center of gravity. These adjustments trickle downhill and require changing your technique in each step of the exercise to stay in a powerfu...
Army Ranger Sniper had this to say about how the nature of the different rifles can affect a sniper in the field: "If you fire something on a bolt action, you have to reload one, and that movement could give you away. But also, the round flying out of the rifle could give you ...
The movement of stars affects the wavelengths of light that we receive from them, much like the high-pitched sound from a fire truck siren gets lower as the truck moves past you. This phenomenon is called the Doppler effect. By measuring the star's spectrum and comparing it to the ...
Transcendence.The value of becoming more than yourself. Right vs. wrong. The rise and fall of these values dictate the rise and fall of the arc. For example, in anadventure story(Man in the Hole arc) set in space like the filmGravity, where the core value is physiological survival, you...
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano got a handle on how microgravity affects our ability to grab and manipulate objects in space with the Gravitational References for Sensimotor Performance (Grasp) experiment. To get an idea of the differences in how our brains work both with and without gravity's pull...
The heat of the flame itself keeps the fuel at the ignition temperature, so it continues to burn as long as there is fuel and oxygen around it. The flame heats any surrounding fuel so it releases gases as well. When the flame ignites the gases, the fire spreads. On Earth, gravity ...
reducing the near range of focus so that by the sixth decade of life, the eye is no longer able to focus on close objects; this loss of function is termed presbyopia1,2,3. There remains a paucity in the understanding of accommodation and hence of how the relevant components of the eye...
