to put it in perspective, an angrstrom is 10^-10m

so these things are about 12 angstroms wide,
ie: 0.0000000012 meters wide ,and yet we can see them.

It's similar to being in the upper atmosphere of the earth and looking down and seeing a penny on the ground.

I wish we had teachers like this.
In high school we didn't do ANY experiments. The school had a lab, but it was almost completely unused. One of the chemistry classes was held in the lab instead of the classroom ONCE, I was overjoyed. The teacher showed us a couple of beakers and test tubes, put them away, then spent the rest of hour reading from the book.

Mrs. Bosenmyer at my highschool was the reason there were no fire alarms or sprinklers in the science rooms. First day of class she set the chalkboard on fire (because science). She was always dissolving stuff in horrific, face-melting acids and what-not. She got into science not so much for the love of learning, but for the love of finding new and creative ways to fuck shit up.

It may help him "understand" that a value squared may represent an area.

It certainly does not help him "understand why the pythagorean theorem is true," and if he thinks it does he is mistaken.

That we don't teach people actual mathematical understanding is one of the reasons math education is shit. Soft math teachers who don't actually know math are a blight.

It populates the environment with possible robot places (all the red dots or particles) it moves and takes measurements. Then it simulates the particles moving in the same way and taking measurements.

Word problems that you've never seen before will always be harder. I guess I'm use to engineering classes where most of the problems look fairly similar and then thermo just throws me weird shit that I can't conceptualize.
I saved the practice exams for hilarity

It is proposed to utilize the large amount of hot air generated in the presidential debates in order to produce some electricity and thus help reduce the federal deficit. To this effect, both candidates are asked to wear an undersuit through which chilled water at 15°C is brought in contact with each candidate’s skin until it reaches the candidate’s body temperature (a rather stuffy 40°C for Mr. President, a cool 30°C for the Senator from Massachusetts), at which point it is taken out for use. If both candidates are on a fortified 3000 calorie diet (remember: a dietetic “calorie” is actually 1000 thermodynamic calories), which they thoroughly spend within a 90 minute debate, evaluate both candidates’ potential as an energy source by comparing the flow rates of warm water they each generate. Assume no actual work is done during the debates. If the two streams are later merged into one, what is the temperature of the resulting stream?

well you're right that it is the bottom left galaxy, but not for the reason you stated so no internetz for you. The colors you see there aren't from doppler shifts. The interacting galaxies are ruddy because of excess hydrogen, whereas the large spiral is blue because of lots of new star formation happening in that galaxy.

If by "fucking ignorant" you mean "not shit at math," sure.

Anyone who legitimately complains about "math-phobia" is an idiot. The type of math that induces "phobia" shouldn't be taught to people with no interest/intent to major in a STEM field, anyway. And if people get "math-phobia" from the Pythagorean Theorem, they're fucking idiots.

Nuke the math requirements past basic algebra (or possibly geometry, if you use geometry as you should to teach basic logic), replace them with applied statistics.

Not quite an insect, but this is the goliath birdeater (so called because someone once claimed they saw one catch and eat a small bird).

There is so much wrong with this image that it hurts. First of all, it says "The Quantum Physics of Genesis" at the top, and yet two of the four things listed there aren't quantum physics. In fact, one of the things listed has been effectively REPLACED by quantum physics (Maxwell's equations are the equations of CLASSICAL electrodynamics, and the current theory is quantum electrodynamics). And then, it says "Free Will" for the Uncertainty Principle. The uncertainty principle has literally nothing to do with free will, other than new age idiots thinking they understand anything about quantum physics simply because they read the first three sentences of the wikipedia article.

That answer is the most correct answer-- in fact it was the answer I was looking for, so you get the 5 internetz I denied to doppler shifter. Congraties. A galaxy can't maintain a spiral shape for long during a collision. Tides quickly pull it out of shape like pic related. Since that blue galaxy in Stephan's Quintet is still a perfect spiral, it is obviously not entangled with the others.
