    You can actually use this, or more generally the shadow of a tree on any sunny day to calculate the distance to the sun !

    (Can’t seem to find the video demonstrating it, but I have a feeling it’s from Physics Girl or Up And Atom on youtube)





  • The Man-in-the-middle’s statement is akin to the following :

    2 = 3 thus, by multiplying both sides by 0, we get 0 = 0, which is true !

    He said it’s in the middle because 2 people disagreed, and he states that the truth lies always in she middle in these situations. which is false, exactly as false as 2 = 3

    “fractal” just means “broken-looking” (as in “fracture”). see Benoît Mandelbrot’s original book on this

    I assume you mean “nice looking self-replicating pattern”, which you can easily obtain by replacing each square by the whole picture over and over again
