Exploring Hell... up for the challenge?
Venus is an EXTREME world, and we’re calling on YOU to help us explore it! NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is running a public challenge to develop an obstacle avoidance sensor for a possible future Venus rover.
With a surface temperature in excess of 840 degrees Fahrenheit and a surface pressure 92 times that of Earth, Venus can turn lead into a puddle and crush a nuclear-powered submarine with ease. While many missions have visited our sister planet, only about a dozen have made contact with the surface of Venus before succumbing to the oppressive heat and pressure after just about more than an hour.
The “Exploring Hell: Avoiding Obstacles on a Clockwork Rover” challenge is seeking the public’s designs for a sensor that could be incorporated into the design concept. The winning sensor could be the primary mechanism by which the rover detects and navigates around obstructions.

Please send help 🙃
Is it just me or is E&M simply not as intuitive as mechanics? Help
Good morning, sunshine!
My eyes snapped open at 7:30am so I figured I’d have a wash, stretch out my aching muscles and do some maths. After this I’ll go and grab some breakfast :)
It’s finally half term so the pressure is momentarily off and I can catch up on all my outstanding tasks.
I feel like I’ve achieved a lot in the past couple of hours I’ve been up!
Have an amazing day!
28/10 - 3/11/18: 47-54/100 days of productivity
Thank you all for your patience and >700 followers! I’ve been taking it easy for the rest of this week and making time for hobbies because I know my reaction to potentially screwing up my Cambridge test was very unhealthy. I am now “over” it in the sense that if I get an interview, that’s great, but if I don’t, then my life’s worth isn’t defined by not getting in. I had a moment, but now I am back to my old self and thinking positively about the future :)
I still have offers from both York and Nottingham, which are both fantastic universities - I have a lot to be grateful for.
Pictured above: moments! I really dislike mechanics, but not as much as I hate stats. Earlier on I was doing some chain, product and quotient rule questions - I can’t believe I am literally 3/4 of the way through pure maths already! I’m well ahead of the main lessons so I can afford to take it easy if I want to, which is nice.
Next steps: research for my German IRP, preparation for a presentation I have to do for Chemistry in a couple of weeks, and some filing 😩
Mythbusters Physics: Relative Velocity
The Mythbusters tested what would happen if a ball was shot at 60 mph off the back of a truck travelling at 60 mph to see what would happen.
It became a perfect example of the relative nature of physics - showing that velocity can vectorially add together. 60 mph in one direction cancels the 60 mph in the other, meaning a net velocity of zero.
Slight yapping (science-ing vore + scenerio)
I have wondering what would/could be the mechanics of healing vore: how time effects it, any cumulative effects etc.
A cumulative side effect might be an improved healing factor. So, the longer you stay in there the stronger your healing factor and the longer it stays around. I think it should get weaker over time to your normal healing factor, and that it should have less additive impact the longer you stay in there. It could grow like a logarithm or like the Basel problem. Another, that I assume is more standard, is that the fluid is only responsible for the healing. They aren’t exclusive and I prefer that IMO.
An additional reason I like this is that it can make prey a little to a lot more willing, it is good for your health. Let’s say one of your prey friends are known to be clumsy and injury themselves constantly or just generally unlucky (gets ill often) and getting eaten would be generally beneficial, it can make you low tier superhero for a little while. At the cost of getting nommed.
How do think the mechanics of vore tropes would be? (protection etc.)
