Just a guy trying to learn things on his own. If I've learned one thing in my (fairly short) existence as of yet, it is that you should not expect anyone else to do it for you.

What really allows airplanes to fly? What? It's not Bernoulli?! An aerospace engineer undergrad told me it is recently.. funny |

So gravity turns things round See arxiv.org/abs/1004.1091 , a very interesting paper which tackles your question for dwarf planets. Of course it has to do with the composition of the body. I'm not sure how to calculate it for humans, but you can probably use the fact that humans are 70% water. |

Why are our planets in the solar system all on the same disc/plane/layer? Very interesting, I've been wondering about this everysince I learned what a solar system was. +1 |

Where did this equation come from ∠I+ ∠E = ∠A+ ∠D? +1, nice answer |

How do you start self-learning physics @JoeHobbit Albert Einstein flunked math? Yes, and Micheal Jordan was cut out of the high school basketball team, right? I hate these myths, they're purely manufactured by incompetent people, for incompetent people. Those people worked hard, stop making excuses. |

Reading Paul Dirac's “Principles of Quantum Mechanics” Notoriously bad? This book was recommended to me by dozens of people! |

What causes insects to cast large shadows from where their feet are? Thanks for the answer. Amazing |

Reading Paul Dirac's “Principles of Quantum Mechanics” Why would you not recommend anything by Dirac? |

Is there any way to prove/disprove we are in a computer simulation? Perhaps you should look up 'brain in a vat', it's basically a thought experiment in philosophy. From my own experience, I'd say it's impossible to prove or disprove it using logic. |

Reading Paul Dirac's “Principles of Quantum Mechanics” I must admit I haven't even started with Hamiltonian mechanics, but I will very soon (this week actually). I'm learning in my free time, I still have quite some things to do before (strengthening my calculus mainly), but it's never too soon to choose a good book, right? |

Rubber band stretched produces heat and when released absorbs heat.. Why? An answer by yours truly, Mr. Feynman: youtube.com/watch?v=XRxAn2DRzgI |

What causes insects to cast large shadows from where their feet are? I didn't know exactly what tags would be suitable here, I wanted to give it the 'phenomenons' tag, but that one has been recently removed, so feel free to edit the tags. |
