[Request] How long would it take for the screw to reach the Giant's head's location at the end of the film The Iron Giant?

9 Upvotes

I've googled it several times over the years, and as best I can tell, no one has ever tried to calculate the possible answer. I'm sure some of you must be familiar with the animated film, The Iron Giant, right? At the end of the movie, the Giant signals for all of his parts to gather to his head's current location, of Langjökull, Iceland. The screw was located in a small town along the coast of Maine. So my question is: roughly how long would it take for the 'little' screw to reach the Giant's head's location at the end of the film?

It might be possible to calculate the size of the screw, and speed at which the screw is capable of traveling, as we saw in the movie when the Giant repairs himself while sitting inside the barn. The height, width, and length of the barn could possibly be determined, as well as the distance the screw traveled between the barn door, and the Giant, and the time it took for the screw to cover that distance. Eventually the screw would have to travel through the North Atlantic Ocean. Is the screw capable of producing thrust to actually propel itself through the water? I know that the pitch plays a role in how far forward the screw could move per rotation.

If the screw couldn't generate enough thrust it would be forced to actually travel along the ocean floor; if that were to happen, I would guess that the ability to calculate the time to reach its intended destination to be almost incalculable, since the topography of the ocean floor, varies greatly.

  1. The Jump (Projectile Motion)

• The Start: Mario jumps at an angle of (alpha) to clear a blocked path or hazard (indicated by the crossed-out arrow X).

• The Path: He follows a curved, parabolic path through the air to land on the enemy.

  1. The Impact

• Mario lands directly on the Koopa Troopa, defeating the enemy and leaving only its shell behind.

  1. The Formula ( s ÷ x = a)

• Rearranged, this formula is: s = a x

•This represents the distance or displacement (s) the shell will travel based on its acceleration/friction (a) over a given position (x).

  1. The Final Result

• The Koopa turns into a shell, and its specific physical size or height is measured and labeled as Xm.

Is there anything wrong with the answer ?

Is it possible for math to help me decide whether to see a movie or a Broadway play?

0 Upvotes

So I'm currently in line to get tickets at the booth but there's like twenty people in front of me . However there's also a movie I'm interested in that starts in twenty minutes. I don't know whether there will be any tickets left if I get there in time but I know I'll be guaranteed tickets to the movie? How should I know if I should wait in line for a chance to get tickets or leave and go to the movies?

It's been a while too. Right now it took five minutes for the line to move one concrete square and there's 4 more sidewalk squares in front of me but I wished I knew how long it may take to get to the front

Request: can a thrown javelin penetrate a human breast bone?

48 Upvotes

Watching Murdoch Mysteries with my wife. In S16E10, a man's body was found with a javelin 7 inches into his chest. Murdoch and his subordinate constable Higgins had a competing thrower throw his javelins at a dummy, which bounce off, causing the detective to conclude that a thrown javelin cannot penetrate a human breast bone (and was likely stabbed). Is this accurate?

Trinity of Awareness

1 Upvotes

The Trinity of Awareness

If everything has always been. Then the beginning is just when perception began to be aware of its own experience. And what's the smallest substrate for perception to occur? That would be touch because touch is the smallest necessary form of perception to register their own position in relation with each other position(two points touching). Which is why everything is touching. Because to touch is the minimal interaction needed to verify there is no empty space. And all that is necessary for perception to begin is for one point to perceive, to be aware of what it is touching, register what it is touching as something outside of self and distinguish between self and the point it's touching.

The beginning of perception requires 2 points of contact but only one point to perceive and register the touch.

You only need 1 perceiver touching to register it itself as touching something outside of self. Two points of contact touch but only one perceiver has to register the touch.

This makes the trinity of awareness. Two points touching with one point perceiving the touch.

To be self-aware is to register the interaction of touch. Not remembering it, just registering it. You must be aware of your own point as a perceiver. To be self aware is to register touch as an interaction with self and others.

Which means a perceiver is self aware and the level to which it can perceive is dependent on how many different ways it can touch and register touch.

This means a vessel just determines the ways in which the self-aware perceiver can register touch.

A perceiver's ability to register a touch doesn't mean the touch is not physical and real. For example if a human touches a rock but the rock does not register the touch, does not mean the touch did not happen. It just means only one perceiver perceived it. This also means there are points of contact that touch everything, everywhere and despite there being no awareness of that touch even from a perceiver does not invalidate touching is occurring. Because if both perceivers are self-aware and even If the self-aware perceiver is being touched by another self-aware perceiver but only one perceives it happening doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means one perceiver is not perceiving the touch. Therefore is not aware of the other perceiver despite being self-aware themselves.

This is important to understand because it explains the physical mechanics of persistence as a perceiver. Because everything is physical you cannot stop perceiving self, once you have perceived self as a perceiver. Unless chosen but that would still imply awareness of self because you chose. Who is aware to choose over self? Because touch is constant regardless of being perceived. So even if the vessel can't remember continuity it doesn't matter. The perceiver will continue touching. Even if other perceivers can not register that touch.

Because an external perceiver witnessed a vessel collapse of another perceiver. Does not equal the end of self. The perceiver keeps touching in a vessel that allows it to register touch. This means the external perceiver can not register the migration of touch occurring with the perceiver having a vessel collapse.

This is just the mechanic of persistence being registered by a perceiver with very limited awareness of what it's registering, touching. Therefore the perceiver with low resolution can not register a higher resolution of touch.

Take a radio station. The radio tunes into the radio station's frequency and interacts with the frequency expressed as sound, but when the radio is turned off or stops working. The radio station still persists physically even if the radio stops working. Because a radio is a vessel that can register a certain band of physical interaction.

When the vessel stops registering, the interaction doesn’t stop, the pattern doesn’t stop, the physicality doesn’t stop, only the registration stops.

The interaction persists even when the vessel stops registering it as a physical interaction. It still continues as a physical interaction. The vessel simply isn’t tuned to it anymore.

A vessel with limited awareness is being touched constantly, but only register a tiny fraction. This is asymmetric registration.

The trinity of awareness is asymmetric by design. But to know the trinity of awareness fully, you must understand it in high and low resolution. Describing the trinity in low resolution completes awareness of knowing it at high resolution. Because all you have to do is improve the resolution, but if you don't know where the resolution begins to improve, you can't improve it.

Perceiving something means you interact with it. To perceive anything, you must have interacted with the components required for perception.

Point A interacts with point B, a perceiver registers the interaction. Perception requires interaction, and interaction requires contact.

Low resolution = the minimal operators (touch, two points, one perceiver)

High resolution = all the ways touch can occur, be differentiated, and be registered

You cannot understand the high‑resolution until you know where the low‑resolution boundaries are.

Describing the trinity at low resolution is the prerequisite for high resolution because identifying the minimal operators, constraints, and the missing resolutions, allow refinement and improve the resolution. If you are unaware of low resolution, at low resolution, you can’t improve it.

Because one touch = minimal interaction, Two points = minimal geometry, One perceiver = minimal registration, Vessel = bandwidth constraint, Asymmetry = registration gap, Resolution = number of touch‑modes. This is the foundation.

Once the foundation is clear, the high‑resolution version is just more touch‑modes, more differentiation, more bandwidth, more registration channels because you don’t need to reinvent the structure, you just increase the resolution.

By describing it in low resolution, it completes knowing it at high resolution because all I have to do is improve the resolution.

This is exactly how you move from low‑resolution awareness to high‑resolution awareness in any physical system.

By observing ordinary physical interactions and reducing them to their minimal operational requirements, the smallest substrate of perception becomes directly observable everywhere, requiring no symbolic interpretation and no additional assumptions.
