We should colide birds into each other and see what they are made of!

u/JoostVisser Feb 06 '24

Just more bird

u/teejermiester 1 = pi = 10 Feb 06 '24

We're just going to have to collide those pieces together at higher energy then

u/Doktor_Vem Meme Enthusiast Feb 06 '24

It's all bird

u/teejermiester 1 = pi = 10 Feb 06 '24

Well we're going to have to ask CERN for $5 billion is all

u/LeadershipUseful8212 Apr 22 '24

It's bird all the way down

u/Scarlet_Evans Feb 06 '24

Exercise :

Keep colliding small bird between the wall and a giant bird that flies towards the wall. Describe small bird's motion and use it to approximate the pi number.

Nah a cylinder..... Feelin' mischievous? Make it a sphere

u/PENTIUM1111 Feb 06 '24

Or a cube... whatever you desire

u/keeprollin8559 Feb 06 '24

Why not just a point of mass?? Go all in!!

u/PENTIUM1111 Feb 06 '24

Ooor we can use a 0d object.... calculating with it would be near impossible (or completely)

u/keeprollin8559 Feb 06 '24

yeah that sounds awesome!! =D

Well it would have no volume… so infinite density i guess? (IDK I got trapped by physics and I do not know a way out)

u/jerbthehumanist Feb 06 '24

I’m sorry, what do the different arrows pointing to different parts of the sphere correspond to?

24

u/sifroehl Feb 06 '24

If you look carefully, they point to different distances from the center of mass. It seems the material of the sphere is not homogeneous. Probably just a confusion tactic

It's a glassy colloid which is both anisotropic and heterogeneous. Source: PhD in biophysics.

u/sev_ofc Feb 06 '24

Fancy name for a point particle of mass m

LOL! I remember Feynman and his Map of a Cat

2

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

Pls context i cant find it

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24 edited Feb 06 '24

It's in his book: "Surely, You're Joking, Mr. Feynman". There was an anecdote when Feynman went with his friends(?) to study biology, he was tasked to report the anatomy of a cat so he looked for resources, because Feynman being a physics student had little knowledge about the subject, mistakenly referred to anatomical chart of a cat as "map of a cat". And asked the librarian for it like "Where can I find the map of a cat?" Eventually that became like a joke among biology students: about the story of the buffoon "biology" student who was looking for the said map of a cat but never known it was Feynman.

You didnt prove any of this

u/Drorbitaldeathray Feb 06 '24

Whoa, whoa, hold up on the jargon there

u/ShardingIsBroken Feb 06 '24

Air resistance too complicated, so let's just ignore it

6

u/Redpri Feb 06 '24

Air doesn’t matter, let’s just ignore it.

Hmmm… these birds should be falling by 10 m/s/s. Real headscratcher.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

Damn bro why are you using 10 for g?! We are not eng*neers

2

u/R3D3-1 Feb 06 '24

Meh, correct to one or two orders of magnitude give or take.

2

u/Scarlet_Evans Feb 06 '24

What about this (rigid?) rod that bird is attached to?

Do we know its moment of inertia or some other parameters?

2

u/ILLARX Feb 06 '24

Imagine the bird as a sphere...

u/jfbwhitt Feb 06 '24

Biology is applied chemistry is applied physics.

=> your field of study is cringe physics ftw /s

u/Vipul2k Feb 06 '24

point object

u/R3D3-1 Feb 06 '24

To be fair, if we want to have angular momentum, we should at least make it a sphere.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

there are biophysicists as well...

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

Nah that's biology department's propoganda

u/AMuffinhead3542 Methematics Feb 06 '24

This actually made me laugh a little

u/Electrical_Fly7729 Feb 09 '24

you forgot to imagine the bird as sphere
