Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed 403
mcgrew writes to mention New Scientist is reporting that scientists have clocked matter traveling at 99.999% the speed of light. "The fastest flows of matter in the universe shoot out of dying stars at more than 99.999% the speed of light, new observations reveal. When a massive star runs out of fuel, it collapses to form a black hole or a neutron star. In the process, some of the matter from the star also explodes outward at blistering speeds, producing an intense burst of gamma rays and other radiation."

Do not try to push the pole. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no pole. Then you'll see, it is not the pole that is pushed, it is only yourself.

"But officer, the light looked green!"
I tried that and got a citation for speeding instead. Do you have any idea what the fine is for going 201,184,560 mph in a 35-mph zone?

He also got a kick out of "periscope" being literally "see-pipe" in German.

Please do not try to enforce all humour to follow a strict set of rules. While it may seem that rules help to control the fun at first, in the end they only stifle your donut making skills.

Boobs also act similarly. Or so I've heard.
Eureka, that's it! Boobie physics! What else could better attract young males to science and fluid dynamics?
