The myth of positive G-forces along the Z axis of our body in fast #aerobatics’ planes causing #nausea… Where does it come from?
Negative Gs, even 0 G — yeah, makes sense, and we have ample evidence. But the +5 G on a hard turn / pull?
People mistake the plus with the minus?
Back to #math problems in school? Again?! 🤷🏻♂️
Concepts I wished I had been taught differently 25 years ago:
• #math.ematical matrices
—> explained instead as an array data type and operations on it through #programming (computer science) paradigms 🤷🏻♂️
I was using arrays in Pascal/JavaScript with relative ease, not knowing!
I guess my dislike of super-short #variable names like $wpdb started in #math and physics where the Greek / Latin alphabet mono-letter naming scheme quickly shows its limits and causes variable collisions / reassignments. 😖
W = Watt, Work, Weight, W bozon, W state etc?
Want to see gods, #miracles and #magic everywhere? Skip #math and logic in school. Ignore while loops and iterations. Avoid chaos theory and fractals. 😉
I think we’ve gone too short on brevity / verbosity scale in #math and #physics for vars and const. Conflicts abound: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_let…
