TROPHY CASE

I spent the last 6 months of my life researching the physics of helicopters and put my findings all in one video series for the masses. They're way more complicated than you'd think. by MrPennywhistlein Physics

I'm a Rocket Scientist (BS Mechanical Engineering, MS Aerospace Engineering / Rocket Propulsion). I've decided there's no way to answer that without sounding like a douche.

Best 30+ minutes I've spent on youtube. Thanks for all the mind blowing learning.

One of the best compliments I've ever received. Thank you.

Thanks man! I went to an optics research facility in NL and have made many videos on lasers. I'm not done with my self education on that topic yet. Particularly I'm trying to wrap my head around interference. I understand WHAT happens, but not WHY. Any thoughts? It blows my mind that Light + Light does not equal Light. I'm considering this same style of playlist about lasers.

My 5 year old asked if she could make a "science center" in the office next to my computer. She collects feathers, turtle shells and pine cones. I'm saving up for a high quality microscope now for her "science center".

Earnings? I've lost so much money doing this it isn't even funny. I pay for everything it takes to shoot the videos out of my own pocket. Any funds I make with earning from the video go into an account for my kids college savings. Basically instead of putting the money directly into an account, I use it, take a loss on investment, then put the residual into an account. I suffer a net loss of money and time but the world gets smarter.

Dang, I wish I meant to say it that way. I forget you guys can actually get jokes like that. My family is tired of me talking like that.

The coolest moment for me what talking to the real Blackhawk pilots about gyroscopic precession. Some don't understand it. It was a blackhawk test pilot who finally made it click in my head.

I'm an atheist. Does that bother you? by Massive_Conquistadorin DebateAChristian

It doesn't bother me. If both our minds are open and we're asking ourselves the hard questions (and being honest with ourselves) all is well.

Bwa haha! It took 50 minutes for someone to call me on it. So sad.
