@jjl_taiwan @pryrnjn @Rainmaker1973 The length of the slope is 5 but the ball travels from half a block earlier than the slope and the man is about half a block further from the slope so it will have to travel 6 units more or less

@zerochills I feel like no one that says “plenty of time to break” in the comments section has experience driving… We don’t know if there are vehicles coming behind him. If there are, braking would get him rear-ended. He applied the brakes slowly in a controlled manner; correctly.

@AndrewHilaryUS Should be a bar graph not a scatter 😔

Why are cities dominated by highways and cars?

It's partly because of one of the most influential people you've never heard of: Norman Bel Geddes.

In 1939 he created "Futurama", a huge exhibition that tried to predict the future — and ended up changing the world...

The Creation of Adam is the iconic ceiling fresco which forms a central panel of Michelangelo's magnum opus, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, completed in 1512.

It depicts the moment in Genesis when God gives the gift of life to the first man, inspired by the passage: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."

A now-common observation is that God reaches out through what appears to be the prefrontal cortex of an anatomically correct human brain, represented here by a crimson cloak. This was the famous claim published by American doctor Frank Lynn Meshberger in 1990.

Although Michelangelo is not explicitly known to have studied the brain, he is well known to have been a master anatomist, who began conducting his own dissections as early as his teenage years.

As the prefrontal cortex is the key area of the brain which deals with creative thinking, and because Adam is depicted already alive and conscious, it appears God is not just giving life to Adam, but bestowing upon him the gift of artistic creativity - the talent that Michelangelo believed was a divine gift to him.

In the remarkable composition, the fingers of Adam and God famously do not touch, reflecting that man can never obtain divine perfection.

But my favourite detail is that the finger of God is fully extended whilst Adam's is not. The implication - to find God, we need only reach towards him as vigorously as he reaches towards us.

This painting has no brush strokes — it is made from over 2,000,000 individual dots of colour.

And though this may look like nothing more than a sunny afternoon in Paris, it has a much darker hidden meaning...

@historyinmemes So canonically, Stuart Little’s parents are successful art thieves.

A picture showing the bodies of dead cult members who died believing their souls were going on a spaceship, which would take them into an alien world in 1997. Heaven's Gate was a Christian cult led by Marshall Applewhite. The cult became infamous in 1997 after 39 members committed suicide, all wearing Nike running shoes with armbands displaying the cult insignia. They had bags over their heads to ensure death due to a lack of oxygen and also draped purple shrouds over themselves. Additionally, all members consumed apple sauce mixed with sedatives and drank vodka, including Applewhite himself.

The cult held some bizarre beliefs, and it was these beliefs that led to the members' deaths. Their central beliefs were essentially a mix of Christianity and science fiction. The group believed that the world was ending or would be recycled, and to avoid this fate, they chose to commit suicide so that their souls could board a spaceship. According to their beliefs, this spaceship would transport their souls to a new world called "The Next Level," where their souls would undergo spiritual enlightenment. The cult also believed in extraterrestrial life and UFOs, while rejecting the human body, as they believed a higher physical form could be obtained.

The members died on March 27, 1997, a significant date because the Hale-Bopp comet was passing by Earth and was visible to the naked eye. It was believed that the spaceship they anticipated was following the comet, and its proximity to Earth made it accessible for the souls to reach.

Many people wonder how anyone could adhere to such a strange and outlandish ideology. Cults often target individuals with specific personality traits that make them susceptible to indoctrination. Here is a list of some of these traits:

1. Vulnerability
2. Low self-esteem
3. Need for belonging
4. Openness to new experiences
5. Susceptibility to manipulation
6. Desire for meaning and purpose
7. Disillusionment with mainstream society

Stanislav Petrov, the man who saved the world from nuclear disaster, on this day in 1983, 39 years ago today, saw the word "LAUNCH" flash across the Soviet Union's attack early warning system. His screen stated with high reliability that a total of five American intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) had been launched and were headed toward the Soviet Union. Petrov had to make a decision: should he report an incoming American strike, or should he hold off, confident that what they were seeing was a false alarm?

If he reported it, Soviet nuclear doctrine called for a full nuclear retaliation. There would be no time to double-check the warning system or seek negotiations with the U.S. This occurred during the Reagan administration, which had taken a firmer stance against the Soviets compared to previous administrations. The Reagan administration was deploying Pershing I nuclear-armed missiles to West Germany and Great Britain, capable of striking the Soviet Union. Given these circumstances, Petrov had reasons to believe that Reagan's brinkmanship had escalated to an actual nuclear exchange.

However, Petrov chose not to report the incoming strike. In the end, his decision proved to be correct. The system had mistaken the sun's reflection off of clouds for a missile. A 1979 report by Congress had estimated that a full-scale Soviet assault on the U.S., and an eventual counter-strike, would have resulted in over 100 million deaths. Petrov, almost single-handedly, prevented those deaths.

Despite being right, Petrov was relentlessly interrogated afterward and never rewarded for his decision, according to David Hoffman of The Washington Post.
