Maybe we, the viewer, are holding another mirror?

[lostinidlewonder]

Did you know. . .

Lostinidle is 1 of the 10 most famous people on Pianostreet?

 

did you know the paparazzi follow me?

[j_menz]

Yep.

[lostinidlewonder]

Did you know im male? Lol

[j_menz]

Did you know im male? Lol

Yep, but those photos weren't fit to print.

Did you know some people really squeeze the trigger of spray bottles too hard?

[Bob]

Did you know im male? Lol

No I did not.  *Bob thought lost was a female this whole time.*  Lost and CrabbyNun.  Haha.

Yes, that's why I never eat jelly!

I wish I could un-see that.

I am the lucky one.  I didn't watch it.


Mvh,

I didn't think it was so bad.  I was wondering if it's fake.  It's guy eating a clear blob, drinking vodka too I think, something in a bottle.  (I was thinking there would be a little reaction with it stinging him, but he's just eating it.)

Tritone paradox?   I don't remember hearing about that before.

[pencilart3]

That was cool, bob! I've never heard an audio illusion before, but this is pretty weird. The square labeled "a" is the same as the square labeled "b".

I find Zipf's law a bit unnerving.

Interesting that the most used word in your language language is a word that really doesn't mean much...

Also interesting that the 4th most common word in my language is NO while YES is nr 139

Did you know that I use a bunch of emoji?

Did you know that according to my high school maths teacher who was Chinese, one over three is a turd.

[Bob]

Well my mind's blown...

If I'm understanding this correctly...

To light, everything is instant.  It's travelling at the speed of light, and everything is "now."

Time to try!

[lostinidlewonder]

Heheh was worried about his fingers getting crushed! If the paper if big enough you could fold many more times, but it does get stupid large.

[Bob]

Better representation of the solar system traveling through space apparently.

- Did you know that there is a paramusical ensemble?

This short documentary follows the preparation and performance of Activating Memory by the Paramusical Ensemble comprising of four severely motor-impaired patients and a string quartet at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, London, on 17 July 2015.

Did you know that they could make some interesting materials with this silk?

Actually those horses probably do, since they make really tasteless sausage...

Did you know that a Mexican Physicist Solved A 2,000-Year Old Problem That Will Lead To Cheaper, Sharper Lenses?

After months of work, Rafael G. González-Acuña, a doctoral student at Mexico’s Tecnológico de Monterrey, managed to come up with a mind-melting equation that provides an analytical solution for counteracting spherical aberration, which had been previously formulated back in 1949 as the Wasserman-Wolf problem which stumped scientists for decades.



Cheaper and better optical gadgets are on their way!

As Johnny Carson would say: "I did not know that."  The article also says:

"To the average person, that equation is probably just more confirmation that a career in physics and mathematics wasn’t for them. But for lens makers, it can provide an exact blueprint for designing a lens that completely eliminates any spherical aberration. It doesn’t matter the size of the lens, the material it’s made from, or what it will be used for, this equation will spit out the exact numbers needed to design it to be optically perfect.

It promises to help improve scientific imaging as well in devices like telescopes and microscopes where improved sharpness could lead to other discoveries."
