Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Take a coin and trow it as hard as you can. The curving is not that much.

Throw it into water or gelatin. At thousands of metres per second the air is going to seem much more dense.

I don't have the arm strength to trow anything at the speed needed to make your analogy work.

Hit the gym, delete the lawyer, face the book.

If it’s like a frisbee, yeah, but it still curves. Now start it spinning like spinning a coin on edge. The curving will be much more dramatic.
