World's Smallest Snowman by Physicists

And it also is amazing how our tax money is going to fund such incredibly large and expensive projects in the UK.

It's all related. We do a bunch of ####### like that here too. Also, UK is just U.S.' little brother.

You don't suppose those rocket scientists could make him "#######-atomically" equipped? :whistle:

I wonder if you have an actual cost breakdown for the amount of US tax payer money spend on making that snowman in the UK. Clearly you must since you are confident enough to be able to make such ignorant comments.

(Like Mack in Super Troopers) "I don't have my figures with me right here......"

I'm sure my grandfather could dig out a few of his tax records from while he was over there fighting ze Germans so those in the UK could make that snowman today.

It's all related.

Now look back at that list of things Dr Bohr wrote that you said you don't need. I feel somewhere in the complete list (unposted data) you'll find devices that make your priceless weapons fire efficiently and safely. I'm sure then your tune would change. But more unpredictably I'd do a little research into the devices he did list and then revisit my post about the Zinc example from the Simpsons. Maybe there's a Youtube clip you can dig up too.

Who is this Dr. Bohr and what list are you talking about?

Also, keep in mind I said I dont rely on them.

Just to name one to call them ####### again-

Accelerometer:

An accelerometer measures the proper acceleration it experiences relative to freefall. Single- and multi-axis models are available to detect magnitude and direction of the acceleration as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation, vibration and shock. Micromachined accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video game controllers, to detect the orientation of the device or provide for game input.

That means many phones have them now in addition to video gaming systems.

OK. So maybe you are a communications and gaming recluse. So:

Accelerometers can be used to measure vehicle acceleration. They allow for performance evaluation of both the engine/drive train and the braking systems[citation needed]. Useful numbers like 0-60mph, 60-0mph and 1/4 mile times can all be found using accelerometers.

Accelerometers can be used to measure vibration on cars, machines, buildings, process control systems and safety installations. They can also be used to measure seismic activity, inclination, machine vibration, dynamic distance and speed with or without the influence of gravity. Applications for accelerometers that measure gravity, wherein an accelerometer is specifically configured for use in gravimetry, are called gravimeters.

Which means that ####### is in your car, its in the seismographs that are getting better with each generation of device, etc.

But wait... still #######?

Accelerometers are used to measure the motion and vibration of a structure that is exposed to dynamic loads.

***

Measuring and recording how a structure responds to these inputs is critical for assessing the safety and viability of a structure. This type of monitoring is called Dynamic Monitoring.

That means that safer building have them. Too. Maybe you don't like safe buildings either.

Back to cars...

One of the most common uses for MEMS accelerometers is in airbag deployment systems for modern automobiles. In this case the accelerometers are used to detect the rapid negative acceleration of the vehicle to determine when a collision has occurred and the severity of the collision. Another common automotive use is in electronic stability control systems, which use a lateral accelerometer to measure cornering forces.

Make sure you don't drive OK? Its all related #######.

The list can continue. And it does. Its on wikipedia: Accelerometer.

As I said before, it's cool and all, but I don't rely on this ####### and I don't need the government spending tax dollars on expanding it.

I believe you're not understanding my motivation of not wanting tax money wasted on this ####### -

1. Private enterprise can and should do this ####### all day long.

2. I don't rely on it. Never said I don't use it, don't think it's cool or fun or whatever, just said I don't rely on it. When the govt. starts spending my money on things that aren't necessary to me.... then it's #######!

What about the world's tallest snowman?

I've found it!

I prefer my snowman a little bigger than a science nerd's snowman

I guess you walk everywhere.

In other words, your fail has been noted.

No, but I don't need to drive everywhere. I can walk everywhere if I had to. When the government starts spending money on cars, that's #######. I don't need the government to develop better cars for me. If I want to drive everywhere, I can buy a car. I don't need the govt. to buy a car for me.

####### to you, innovation to the rational people. Keep it black and white, and fail you will.

All this reeks of bullsh!t and you know it.
