We all are in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars

Wind whispering something low
It tells me things I shouldn't know
How to catch stars in butterfly nets
And where the moon goes when it sets
Quiet people have the loudest minds.
Stephen Hawking (via quotemadness)
So last month my Physics teacher demonstrated sound waves using fire and Bohemian Rhapsody. The song is played into a tube filled with gas, and the sound waves cause the gas to compress, changing the height of the flames (I think that was how he explained it anyways)
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and the beat you with experience

A particle here can affect one on the other side of the universe, instantaneously
When an electron meets its antimatter twin, a positron, the two are annihilated in a tiny flash of energy. Two photons fly away from the blast.
Subatomic particles like photons and quarks have a quality known as “spin”. It’s not that they’re really spinning – it’s not clear that would even mean anything at that level – but they behave as if they do. When two are created simultaneously the direction of their spin has to cancel each other out: one doing the opposite of the other.
Due to the unpredictability of quantum behaviour, it is impossible to say in advance which will go “anticlockwise” and the other “clockwise”. More than that, until the spin of one is observed, they are both doing both.
It gets weirder, however. When you do observe one, it will suddenly be going clockwise or anticlockwise. And whichever way it is going, its twin will start spinning the other way, instantly, even if it is on the other side of the universe. This has actually been shown to happen in experiment (albeit on the other side of a laboratory, not a universe).
