A stingy man eats the pits of some cherries, causing a tree to grow on top of his head. When crowds start converging and partying on his head, being noisy, he gets annoyed and uproots the tree. Rainwater pours in the hole, creating a lake. After that, a lot of swimmers converge on this lake, and his head is too noisy again.
Not all dinosaur lineages were cut short at the end of the Cretaceous during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, and over 11,000 species of avian theropods survive as part of the modern fauna. [151] [152] [153] An ichthyosaur and plesiosaur by Édouard Riou, 1863. This old representation of a plesiosaur lifting its head is not accurate.
A cube magnet levitating over a superconducting material (known as the Meissner effect). Levitation (from Latin levitas, lit. ' lightness ') [1] is the process by which an object is held aloft in a stable position, without mechanical support via any physical contact.
It is unsupported by physics as we know it, but needed for galaxy-wide plots with human lifespans. Criticism and commentary on how science is portrayed in science fiction is done by academics from science, literature, film studies, and other disciplines; by literary critics and film critics; and by science fiction writers and sci fi fans and ...
Cartoon physics or animation physics are terms for a jocular system of laws of physics (and biology) that supersedes the normal laws, used in animation for humorous effect. Many of the most famous American animated films , particularly those from Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, indirectly developed a relatively consistent set of ...
Longitudinal recording and perpendicular recording, two types of writing heads on a hard disk Magnetic storage or magnetic recording is the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non-volatile memory .
Headroom refers specifically to the distance between the top of the subject's head and the top of the frame, but the term is sometimes used instead of lead room, nose room or 'looking room' [1] to include the sense of space on both sides of the image. The amount of headroom that is considered aesthetically pleasing is a dynamic quantity; it ...
No matter how many problems we solve, there will always be other problems that cannot be solved within the existing rules. […] Because of Gödel's theorem, physics is inexhaustible too. The laws of physics are a finite set of rules, and include the rules for doing mathematics, so that Gödel's theorem applies to them." [48]
