The speed of light – 186,282 miles
So the Sun is almost 90 million miles away? Why doesn’t that number sound right?
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:51 AM
If the speed of light has a determined value (186,282 miles per second), does our brains pick out objects through sight at that speed? If I see someone moving down the street, does my vision and brain see it at the speed of light? Therefore nothing we see is ever instant (in relative terms)?
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:51 AM
Another thing that sucks about ultimate is that there are no refs, so you make your own calls. You call someone for a violation and they get all pissy about it.
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:52 AM
Any ultimate frisbee fans? With a cameo by … Jenn Sterger.
I found Sterger to be less interesting there. Wonder what the reasons are?
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:54 AM
holy shit.
September 23rd, 2011 at 8:54 AM
I played for my college’s team all four years. And yes the lack of refs kind of sucks, but its a sport where you self-ref and usually it’s pretty well accepted if you call a foul. Great way to exercise, and in tournaments, there is bad blood (We fucking hated Drew University & Vassar…especially Vassar). A guy on our team down at the biggest tournament on the East Coast in March (Savannah) got a seperated shoulder and I got spiked in my hamstring. Shit gets real.
Of course when you play Oregon and they have a keg on the field and are passing around a water bong, then yeah, standard stereotypes apply.

I’m pretty tired of the lazy hyperbole and analysis being thrown around by the anti-BCS crowd. Your arguments have turned into cliche. Time to start printing what you think are solutions to the problem, everybody.
And everyone mentions greed? What does that even mean? Fifteen programs make a profit. If other schools attempt to make changes to make more money, it’s not greed, it’s trying to stay afloat. It’s trying to compete with those top schools so that they too can make some dough. It reminds me of the annual bitching when an oil company like Exxon reports $XXX billion in revenues. Well, guess what, they made $100 billion more this year but they spent $95 billion more to make it.
And how dare these athletic departments structure their operations like business. With AD’s like CEO’s making calculated decisions to effect the bottom line. This is college athletics. Let’s get a professor in fro an Ivy League school to give a quote. Oh, but also, pay the players!

I’ll never understand why light years gets related to time (i.e. you’re seeing Star A in the sky as it existed during Lincoln’s presidency because its 150 light years away) if its just a measurement of miles.
Does someone have a straight answer to this?
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:03 AM
I think this is where we mock anyone who actually watched it.

This was followed up by watching It’s Complicated. I’m not afraid to say that it was pretty funny. You really can’t go wrong with Alec Baldwin.

Making an attempt – it gets related to time because the distances are so wildly large. So … at the speed of light, it takes X seconds/days/years for Earth to see something. Any changes are on the way, they just haven’t arrived.
/probably didn’t help
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:08 AM
It’s typically because miles are insufficient because the numbers get very, very large. 150 light years = 881,188,372,800,000 miles. Easier to just say 150 light years.

/and lazy
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:09 AM
well, it is the speed that light actually travels, which so far is the fastest perceived rate of travel (correct?).
there are some scientists in antarctica who have been studying the effects of Absolute Zero on the speed of light, and they have gotten the temperatures so cold that it actually does slow the speed of light to the point where you could turn on a flash light and watch the beam of light extend.

on a side note, i’m reading Halberstam’s “education of a coach”, and it’s fascinating. can’t say i understand belichik now, but I “get” him better than I did before.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Ok, understand that part. I guess I keep going back to the fact that a yard is a measurement of 3 feet whereas a light year is a measurement of 186,282 miles. But nobody says that when you see a yard away you’ve seen .000003^100 in the past (making up numbers). But yet a star X light years away is so.
Couldn’t it just be said that a star 186,282 miles actually shines bright enough that we’re seeing it from that far in this moment?
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 AM
And how dare these athletic departments structure their operations like business.
This. This is what people fail to realize. To keep the programs afloat, to keep the games going and the teams going, you must run your athletics like a business b/c it is.
Even at the HS level, an AD has to think this way. Trust me on this b/c I saw my son’s HS football coach/athletic director work the surrounding business community and business folks with deep pockets. Sponsorships and donations pay for football; football pays for basketball; basketball pays for baseball; baseball pays for softball …
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 AM
You could see that plot twist coming down Broadway.
One of the things that made Rubicon and Lost so good was that they were able to create stories where you were genuinely surprised at the outcome. I thought the acting was really good, but the story was pathetic.

Yep. According to Einsteinian physics, light is the fastest thing in the universe.

September 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 AM
You could say it both ways you’ve described, but it becomes unweildy. For most of us, any time light years are invoked we’re watching sci fi or someone is trying to tell us something else is really fucking far away.

What’s the 411 on the new Facebook? I haven’t logged in in awhile… I’ve heard some people talking about it though. Does this mean I’m going to have to go in and re-set all of my privacy settings AGAIN because I don’t want pictures of me doing a keg stand 8 years ago plastered all over my “timeline.” Or should I just pull the plug? I’m leaning towards the latter. It’s become a wasteland of wedding/honeymoon pictures and people bragging about how cool/successful their lives are. Which would be fine, if my life were cool and/or successful. But it’s not.

seeing the parallels how he crafted defenses to tear apart teams resembling the current patriots though…. sobering.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:19 AM
you are correct. everything you see has already happened. it’s just that the distances are so close, that the delay is negligible. you’d have to be 186,282 miles away for that delay to even be 1 second.
think of it like sound. objects can move faster than the speed of sound but WAY slower than the speed of light. you can see a plane well before you can hear it. you can see lightning well before you can hear it.

September 23rd, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Not trying to argue, just trying to help if I could. Maybe you can think of it it terms of length of measurement fitting what you want to describe. You’d use yards or feet if you were in your backyard, miles if you were driving, and light years to describe the immense distance back to Earth if you were on Mars.

I flipped over to Maria Bello’s new show just in time to watch some guy beat the shit out of her. I’ll give the show props for not being completely unrealistic like most of the rest of the shows/movies out there that have women who weigh 110 lbs. kicking linebackers asses.. but there’s no way that show is good. She’s probably the best dressed cop in NYC too.

I’ll co-sign this. Tried catching up by plowing through the first season this way. Wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as 1 episode a week.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:36 AM
the first season does, until after you find out who dick whitman is anyway.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:37 AM
also…i took my pedometer out for a round walking and a round with a cart (not on the same course tho…walking round was a 6400 yard shit muni, riding round was a 6800 slopey beast).
only walked a half mile more when carrying my bag. if you play with someone and share a cart, you walk plenty if you play ready golf.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:37 AM

My goodness that was funny.
I still can’t believe I ignored this show for six seasons. I never gave it a chance. But after Wilfred and Louie, I was programmed to watch something funny on Thursday nights. Holy shit. I’ve been missing out. The idiocy of this show is fantastic. Right up my alley.
I was sucking on an ice cube from my bourborn when the two homeless dudes were fucking. Damn near choked on it. Was not prepared for that.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:38 AM
It all depends. I’ve watched 3 episodes of Breaking Bad in a week. When I found Dexter, however, I plowed through 8 episodes on a Sunday afternoon.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:38 AM
“Person of Interest” was alright; nothing special. It felt rushed and formulaic at times, which is often what you’ll see in pilots as they try to set up the characters and themes. It has potential – big potential – and I’m curious where they’ll take it with the two leads. Also, it needed more Emerson and less Caviezel. Last night’s ep seemed like it was just one guy going around fucking everyone up.

Scotch, womanizing, the art of the sale and Joan Harris. That’s all you need for a great TV show. I’m not difficult to please.
That show needs to hurry up and get back on the air.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:38 AM
Just did. I agree.
Speaking of golf, I’m steal reeling from my poor play during my title defense to my CC’s two-man invitational. PLayed like a smashed up bag of dicks. Reminds me of a new golf game we tweaked. It’s called bag of dicks. If someone three putts, they owe $5 (or whatever) to the pot. They also get the bag of dicks. Then everyone else in the group gets to make fun of them for carrying around a bag of dicks (we don’t actually have a bag of dicks, but it’s still hilarious). Someone else three-jacks and they owe $5 to the pot and they get the bag of dicks. Last one to three putt keeps the bag of dicks and owes the $$$ to the pot that everyone else splits. * Should only be played when drinking heavily.
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:38 AM

Nothing more cringe-inducing then the delay between hitting what you know is a bad shot and waiting for the “thwack” against the roof or the sound of shattered glass.

No walkers among you? I realize it’s wet, but is it that bad?
I just walked 18 (carrying, no p-ssy hand cart) yesterday. Mushy ground makes walking a pain. That said, cart-path only is a guarantee that you will hit the ball to the far side of the fairway from the path, and you’ll be in between clubs.

September 23rd, 2011 at 9:43 AM
true…however I would say Dexter is paced better than mad men, breaking bad has moments when you need to watch like 5 episodes in a row b/c of the story arc/suspense.
mad men can be so character driven and moody that it can just be heavy to watch. the suspense that keeps you watching from week to week is more like a real life soap opera, is she pregnant with so and so’s baby? will the firm survive the layoffs? who gets fired, who is cheating on who? will someone find out about it?
it’s not like dexter, breaking bad, the sopranos (to an extent) where the suspense that pulls you along is typically related to just one main character’s problem seeking a resolution.

Freaking aeration. Three times I’ve gone to the closest course to work on Fridays and they’ve just aerated on Tuesday. Like putting through a light layer of sand. With holes that knock everything off line.

even though it is necessary and I completely understand it, there is nothing worse than putting across an aerated, sandy green. especially when they are still charging full price for the round.

The speed of light is 3 x 10^6 km/s. This is a measure of information transfer, unless an object has emitted light it doesn’t yet exist, thus when we measure extreme distances its converted into light seconds or light years just for an easier convention of scientific vernacular.
If one is standing a meter a way, 1 x 10^-3 km, you simply divide the two. Whence we have 3.33 x 10^-9 seconds distance between two objects one meter away.

not one character on that show has not “broken bad” to some degree. whether it be blackmail to get a car, laundering money, cooking meth, murder, infidelity, illegal surveillance, shoplifting…
if anything the show is not about these people doing these things, it’s about the people making the rationalization that goes behind doing these things. this is what makes it compelling, b/c anyone who watches has made one of those types of decisions in their life, or they will.

September 23rd, 2011 at 9:57 AM
