Action. Reaction. Result.

Written by: Jonathan
Newton's third law of motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What Newton *didn't* talk about is how everything is headed in its own direction with its own momentum and spin. That means that nothing has a mathematically perfect trajectory. The inertia & spin of each element interact at the moment […]

Welcome to another "Frivolous Friday" installment. This one is a good one. I want to share one of my favorite videos that I watched this week, and it's pretty funny.
