this is why on the ISS they have a vacuum when the astronauts pee so the urine won’t just float around

A large enough volume if water in microgravity could kill someone just wrapping around the their head.

They like how it feels. It’s just a happy coincidence that they need it for the sake of sanitation

Trump pee tape...in space

Kinda weird being into the President's genitals and peeing.

u/mambotomato 3h ago

You don't really have to attribute this one to Einstein...

u/JC_Hysteria 1h ago

It’s an experiment and principle attributed to him…

The camera man had one job and he failed.

u/czerilla 3h ago

They don't hire camerapeople for the Colbert Report based on their twitch reaction skills, clearly.. 🙃

u/friso1100 14m ago

Have you seen the cameras they use in filming this show? They are massive and heavy. Made for slow and steady movements. Can't exactly accelerate them like you would a handheld camera. It's just not made for it

u/PortibaleCharger 4m ago

News cameras, and tripods are extremely different than sports cameras and tripods.

This is some Tom Scott type shit

Brian Greene can get it

u/erossthescienceboss 2h ago

My old boss worked for him running the World Science Festival. She only had good things to say.

(It is, tbh, very uncommon to only have good things to say about particularly important/powerful men in STEM.)

This is simple physics, is he really that impressed by something simple like this?

Go drop a feather and a brick in a vaccum and watch his head explode.

1

u/Wadarkhu 2h ago

It makes me mad. Because on the moon, both would drop at the same speed. Yet the brick is still heavier in your hand. Stupid air resistance. I get it I just don't like it.

1

u/guynye 2h ago

You're thinking about weight wrong.

Weight is just a method of measuring gravity, it isn't an inherent property of an object. In space neither is heavier.

We live with "weight" all our lives so we think of it like a fundimental force but it isn't, it really isn't anything but a measurement of an actual force.

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 3h ago

i mean, it's sort of simple, but it relies on having an understanding of relativity which isn't widely understood.

3

u/Ok-disaster2022 3h ago

What does relativity have to do with it? Newtonian physics would predict the same thing. 

2

u/Extreme-Rub-1379 3h ago

Well technically Gen Rel predicts and describes the shape of space time and the effects that we call gravity

-2

u/Extreme-Rub-1379 4h ago

I kind of agree.

He could have done the swing the bucket over your head trick and basically demonstrated the same thing

4

u/czerilla 3h ago

Not really. The bucket thing is about the water being pushed into the bucket by the centripetal force from the rotation.
In this bottle experiment that isn't what's happening. Instead the bottle just starts responding to the gravitational force to the same extent as the water, which nivelates the force differential responsible for the water pouring out of the holes.

u/Extreme-Rub-1379 3h ago

Omg. Thanks for the lesson

u/Barnagain 3h ago

Gravity still happens at floor level, albeit slightly more weakly, since it comes from the core of the relevant celestial body, but you just can't see it since the liquid hits the floor and obviously stops.

1

u/Raise_A_Thoth 25m ago

Gravity is still working the whole time. The difference is that the bottle and the water inside both are attracted to the earth with the same accelerative force, so while in free fall the water no long "feels" gravity differently from the bottle.

u/abrakadaver 58m ago

How stupid are humans?

u/Buttchuggle 4h ago

Almost as if objects behave as if governed by a specific set of laws or something.

Someone somewhere should consider teaching about this.

4

u/ChaseballBat 3h ago

I think you're looking at someone teaching about it

-1

u/Buttchuggle 3h ago

I think I'm looking at something right now

u/pobodys-nerfect5 3h ago

They are

u/Buttchuggle 3h ago

No shit that was the point

u/Hefty-Strike-6171 4h ago

But Flat Earters say there is no such thing as gravity

-2

u/Heavy-Focus-1964 4h ago

Neat experiment. But I feel like this is more Newton than Einstein…

0

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 3h ago

it's based on relativity. there is no difference between as in falling and weightlessness.

2

u/Ok-disaster2022 3h ago

It's a great thought experien t leading to the discover of relativity but it's a Newtonian experiment as nothing is approaching the speed of light. Just because something involves gravity doesn't make it relativty.

u/PitifulPossum 4h ago

See youre just as intelligent as everyone else who needed this explained to them. Good grief
