Oldest Living Tree Found in Sweden

“The visible portion of the 13-foot-tall (4-meter-tall) “Christmas tree” isn’t ancient, but its root system has been growing for 9,550 years, according to a team led by Leif Kullman, professor at Umeå University’s department of ecology and environmental science in Sweden.”

The Newtonian Bucket.

So get this. A simple bucket filled with water has been the center of debate for…almost 300 years.

The experiment is simple: Fill a bucket with water, hang it, twist the rope and let it go.

As the bucket spins, the friction transfers to the water and it in turn spins and makes a concave shape in the top.

Yeh, you wonder…wtf, 300 year old debate (still…kinda unsolved). So here is where things get interesting.

We all know what velocity is, right? It’s the speed and direction of an objects motion. Velocity is also a relative term:

A. A guy getting punched in the face sees a fist approaching his soon to be broken nose at about 50 miles per hour.

B. From the perspective of this fist, this guy’s face is appraching at 50 miles per hour.

Both of these descriptions are accurate. The velocity of an object can only be really measured in relation to another object. (Think about sitting on a train and looking out the window to see a train next to you moving…or are you moving? Its kinda disorienting because you don’t exactly know whether you or the other train is moving.)

Now going back the the bucket. As the water spins in the bucket, it is pushed to the sides and becomes concave at the top. Centrifugal/Centripetal Force is often used to describe this phenomena. But…Newton posed a simple question about this force.

What does it mean to say that the water in the bucket is spinning…in relation to what?

And this is when you say it is spinning relative to the bucket, right? But that still ain’t quite right. When the bucket starts to spin, there is relative motion between the bucket and the water - the water doesnt immediately move (surface stays flat). When friction finally transferrs to the water and it begins to spin, there isn’t relative motion between the bucket and the water (the surface is concave).

So when there is relative motion, the surface of the water is flat. When there is no relative motion, the surface is concave. (If you remove gravity from the equation and put the bucket in space, the water will want to press to the sides of the bucket.) So now we know that the bucket can’t be a relavent reference point to the motion of water…

Imagine that this bucket is in empty space. No planets, no air, no stars. The bucket is spinning and the water is getting pushed outwards once again.

What serves as the “something” with respect to which the bucket is spinning?

Anastasia (my sister): So we replaced the vanity in the bathroom the other day…and guess what we found underneath the old one

Me: Dead mouse?

Anastasia: Anal Beads.

Me: Huh?

Mom: Whaaa.

Anastasia: Yeah, not kidding.

Mom: How do you know they are anal beads?

Anastasia: I know what they look like…it even had a ring on the end to pull it…out…

Mom: What did you do with it?

Anastasia: I threw it out, what the hell do you expect me to do.
