ok this sounds bad, but i was snickering throughout reading that post.  it was the delivery, not the content.

Oh, snap.

Host *****: You have to finish.
Watermelon girl: Seriously? I can't even see straight!
Host *****: They don't call it the amazing race for nothing.

The host lady is annoying and doesn't serve any purpose with her ****ty motivational skills. If watermelon lady was feeling a little bit better, she should have given host lady a face watermelon too and tell her "i'm not giving up, i'm frustrated!"

Damn, **** reality game shows. If you have to sign a waiver that says you can't sue the people running the game show if you get injured, then you probably don't want to go on the show.

To be fair, you probably have to sign one of those to even go on Wheel. Of. FORTUUUUUNEEE!!!!

Yeah man, you might lean forward too much while spinning the wheel, fall on it, get dizzy, puke all over the place, then the puke gets forced into the edges of the wheel by centrifugal force, resulting in shorting out the circuits and getting you electrocuted.

That would be bad.

You mean centripital force. There's no such thing as centrifugal force.

I'm going to put a billboard in space that advertises this fact.

Also, fixed.

[redsniper]

No, no, he most definitely means centrifugal since a centripetal force would by no means force stuff away from the center of rotation.
 

[watsisname]

YES, this is now a physics thread.

[Rodo]

Oh! Slingshots + Wattermelons = Candidate

Also: That's gotta hurt like hell.

inertia takes care of that part.

inertia takes care of that part.

Not if the frame of reference is the rotating system.

There's no such thing as either. You're merely experiencing conservation of momentum really.

[Klaustrophobia]

well then you wouldn't be moving, and there's still no force

Actually it'd be an accelerating reference frame and would thus perceive a gravitational field permeating the entire universe, or so I believe. It's not an IRF.

[Klaustrophobia]

i was going to post that, but then realized if it's merely rotating at a constant rate about its origin, it should still be inertial...  i think.

No, I think it'd be accelerating.

Not sure, not good with GR.

[Klaustrophobia]

rotating about itself wouldn't require a force.  if you set something spinning up in space, it will keep spinning.  that would make it inertial wouldn't it?

now if it's rotating about a point outside of itself, that would certainly not be inertial.

But what about frame dragging and ****?

This is way outside my comfortable knowledge.
