Very cool! And very cool of you to post this!. You might like the book What A Plant Knows. Similar amazing things that plants do, sense, defend, communicate, etc.

Ok so after watching this.. (which is interesting) I noticed since it's seems more difficult for the plant to push up water.. LST or scrog and topping are the way to go?

also.. the host's numeric # is 42.0 and this is how he explained it... we know it's 420 just fess up

The channel name "Veritasium" is a combination of the latin word for truth, ‘Veritas’, and the ending common to many elements ‘ium’. This creates "Veritasium", an element of truth. A play on the popular phrase and a reference to scientific elements. The atomic number of the element is ‘i’, the Imaginary unit since the element does not exist. Its mass number is 42.0, a reference to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

That's cool! I didn't look at his site, just the cool vid L-Flying posted. Veritasium and all that he did with it is very very clever.

Great post and interesting read ;)

Derek (veritasium dude) is a smart guy and has loads of interesting videos, that can boggle your mind at times. And i thought he put might of put 42.0 because he's a stoner, i mean actually watch 2 or 3 of his videos, he basically whispers in some of his videos, has a bit of a awkward character plus just look at his eyes, most of his videos his eyes are basically closed lol.

hey mo2. it is a very cool phenom. you can super heat water in the microwave if it doesn't have a truntable and its utterly still. it won't boil and then as soon as you touch it and cause an air bubble to coelesce? they whole thing will instantaneously boil. ...and burn the fuck out of your hand.

He does have some very cool fucking videos.

There is another one where he talks about objects falling at the same rate. we all know (besides the dumb shitshe interviewed) that mass plays no role in how fast an object falls to the earth. BUT, mass (weight) is a measurement of the earths pull on something. the heavier an object, the more the pull.

So why would a heavier object, which has a greater amount of gravitational pull on it..say a bowling ball fall at the same rate as a tennis ball?

The answer.. newtons first law of motion. ergo... intetia

an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force. so, your heavy ass SUV needs more force to get it rolling then the crack heads geo metro. same thing with the bowling ball and tennis ball. you let go of the bowling ball and it has all that mass that has to be acted upon to get it to move. The tennis ball has less mass and therefore, less resitance to intertia.

boom, your head just exploded.

Uh...kind of...


Inertial mass is a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to changes in uniform velocity, (acceleration).

Gravitational mass is a quantitative measure that is proportional to the magnitude of the gravitational force which is

  1. exerted by an object (active gravitational mass), or
  2. experienced by an object (passive gravitational force) when interacting with a second object.

Wow. Thanks for fucking quoting wickapedia for me. Ummm it's not "kind of" it is.

Weight is a measure of mass, the measured mass of something is actually a unit measure of the earths gravitational pull on it.

Duh, there is inertial mass...that was the point of my post. But as far as I have ever read, inertial mass is the same as gravitational mass. An objects mass soley determines it's resistance to outside forces. We earthlings use mass and weight interchangeable. Yes, mass is a measure of how much matter something contains and it doesn't change by location, an objects weight can change based on its location.

That dude always knew how plants worked but never really thought about the finer points and actual physics of it.

Lol
