Maps of Alaska are always fun, because Alaska is huuuuge! It’s fun to talk about Alaska to Texans especially, because I ALWAYS love to say, “Hey, did you know if you cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the third largest state?” They don’t like that much. I guess I like to mess with Texas. ;D

FEELS LIKE MAGIC!!

Which way is she turning in the image above?

If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain.

If you see her turning anti-clockwise, you are using your left brain.

Some people can see her turning both ways, but most people see her only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain’s current.

If you can switch between seeing her turn either way at will without shifting your gaze, your IQ is above 160 … which is almost at genius level!

This was devised at Yale University for a 5 year study on the human brain and its functions.

Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways

I can see both directions :>

i’m left brained :3

I’m right brained, but I CAN DO BOTH :D :D :D :D

 at first I saw clockwise..so I’m left brained, but then I could switch it! There’s no way my IQ is almost genius level…. ? 

i can do both too. yessssssssssssss

After lots of concentration and focusing, I can make it go both directions. It just takes mind training and focusing on different parts and trying to reverse what overlaps what.

This is fantastic. I saw it clockwise first. Then after lots of work, by altering the focus of my eyes it became counterclockwise. Then I couldn’t get it back. But then I found instead of just hoping for it to change, I can actually use concentration and logic to make it switch. For example, by staring at the swinging leg as it goes out right, I think “It’s the left leg,” or “It’s the right leg,” and it becomes that leg. Or I can think that it always goes behind her body and she swings back and forth. Fun! I could do this all day!

I can see it both ways and change it just by tilting my head up and down, pretty crazy perspective stuff…


LHC to aim for a collision event beginning Tuesday, March 30

fuckyeahphysics:

On March 19, CERN reached an all-time energy record, managing to fire up two separate proton beans in opposite directions at 3.5 trillion electron volts (TeV). That’s huge. That amount of energy is equivalent to the energy created by a fully-loaded aircraft carrier going 8 knots (about 9 mph). In comparison, the next most powerful accelerator—the Tevatron at Fermilab in Illinois—can reach a maximum of nearly 1 TeV. Well, now CERN is stepping up its game. In the early hours of March 30, they’ll begin working the two proton beams into a collision course, reaching a new record of 7 TeV.
Steve Myers, CERN’s director for accelerators and technology, describes the challenge of lining up the beams as being akin to “firing needles across the Atlantic and getting them to collide half way.”

The scientists are looking for clues to the Higgs-Boson, the proverbial blank spot in the standard model of physics, the particle which allegedly gives mass to all the matter in the universe. They’re also looking for clues about the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Please direct all black hole questions to the right.

LHC POWER UP! I’m so excited!!!

OH NOES WERE ALL GONNA DIE

seriously though, this should be interesting :)

64.

I hate math.

WTF? there are only 8. Your as stupid as shit, bitch.

1. You spelled “you’re” wrong.

2. I just counted 64.

*sigh* Sometimes it seems like you’re as stupid as shit, bitch.

This whole conversation is hilarious, and very typical of both of you. And yes, there’s 64.
