pirana 0 #32 September 8, 2006 QuoteQuoteI can herd cats. That is what organizing a skydive is like. I've been on those. Somebody is trying to throw together a 10-way and hollers for everybody to meet in front of the hangar. Half show up with gear, 3 are still having a smoke, a couple aren't yet manifested. you're just starting to get the exit lined up and hear the 15 minute call. 4 people depart to get geared up. They return and somebody strolls off to hit the can. You finally get the exit lined up, it's now a 10 minute call and somebody decides they better manifest and trots off while another figures they better go finish packing. Finally everybody is back, you get the 5 minute warning, the plan is almost understoofd by all when a tandem student suddenly changes their mind and opts for the video, leaving the group without their organizer. Getting on the plane everybody decides to do solo 5K hop-n-pops." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #40 September 9, 2006 I inspect precision machined parts on a CMM. It's a fun machine, it has a probe on an arm, so there's probably an underlying psychosexual connection somewhere. But anyway, once you orient and calibrate the thing, so it knows where it is and where it's starting from, you go around the part touching all these different points and it spits out all these exact dimensions down to 1/100,000 of an inch. You learn to look at complex 3D shapes and break them down in your mind to planes, lines, points, spheres, cones, circles, and so on. The one I work with now is a nineties museum piece, but at some other places I've worked I can pilot the probe with a joystick and the program starts to make a picture of the part as I go merrily measuring my way around. It's fun because it's both precision and hands on. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 122 #43 September 9, 2006 off the subject but WTF, Mr Physics (said with respect) - how about a discussion supporting your opinion on this question - if you amassed all the people on earth within 5 miles of the equator, and they faced the same direction, and at the same instant performed a standing broad jump where the takeoff angle was 33 degrees, and the landing was vertical could they change the rotation speed of the earth?Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

Getting them there would have more effect than the jump (whose effect would be transient). Ever hear of the law of conservation of angular momentum? Besides, the mass of the entire population is less than 10^12kg, or about a trillionth of the mass of the Earth.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
