Log Boy, a character from Tom Bate's animated series "Nigel and Marmalade"

What a glorious day to be a log

I thought the whole point of a miracle is that there is no scientific explanation.

I agree, I like how energy gives a kind of unifying, almost monistic view of physics on a conceptual level, and how useful work is (units are Joules!) as an analysis tool. But I am very curious about alternative approaches. How else do we package diverse topics as analogous but unique?

Big ideas in electricity and magnetism summarized #iteachphysics 🎢

Fantastic resource

Something tells me the calculus cup would have infinite surface area but finite volume 😋

Seriously, though, I love how a little competition changes the dynamic of a classroom

I was going to tag that cowtools account but this is how I found out they were banned

1. Please tell me someone is documenting all of Trump's tweets/posts/etc for history
2. Thinking it would be a 🚩 if someone actually owned and read that compilation

You raise good points...what SHOULD a visualizer ideally contain? I was working off the premise of what I knew I could accomplish, not necessarily the best possible end product.

If you see this, quote with a character who starts with "S"

It was easier than I thought to add particles to my electric field visualizer in #Desmos! This one has four. Red and blue are both negative; green and orange are positive.

Oh, these are fantastic! Thanks!

Coulomb Field

It is adjustable - the position/charge of each particle can be independently set. This one that I've shared has normalized vectors, all length 1. The grid changes too.

If you want the length of the vectors to correspond to the field strength, then you want this one:

I've made a visualization of the electric field for two particles in #Desmos. I wanted a good visual for my physics students, and decided to make my own!

The calculations are very taxing...would be very grateful if someone could improve it.

My materialism looks for mechanisms, not reasons

It's like kiki/bouba, I agree!

All these long-zoom moving helicopter shots of #artemis lit by a perfect golden hour sunset...it looks like a Michael Bay movie

Nevermind...cloudy 😞☁️

Here is the view backwards - at 4:23 AM, from Orion's point of view, we can see the eastern USA in darkness. Would I be able to see the sun reflecting off the craft from Earth?

Artemis II Trajectory Explore the Artemis II trajectory in WorldWide Telescope.

Well, we (@cosmicds.bsky.social), turned my little viz demo into a real thing.

Perspective is important for drawing orbits 💫! Explore how a the shift in reference frame changes how the #Artemis II orbit is drawn! #astronomy #dataviz #moon

This is an incredible visualization. Thanks!

A question about #astronomy and the Artemis mission ...tomorrow morning, I expect the Orion spacecraft to be in my sky before sunrise. In ideal viewing conditions, and assuming it's only a little less than 100,000 miles in elevation, is it possible to see it approaching?

I did a little math and unfortunately I think the spacecraft is actually behind me in the frame 😞 sorry guys my bad

I took a selfie with the Artemis crew aboard the Orion

What the actual...is this real???

In one of my physics slides, I pose the question: does Earth spin quickly or slowly?

The answer is "yes"

Is the ACT any better?

Btw it is a still frame from this video 😊
