Benedict Cumberbatch - BAFTA Awards 2019 / Backstage.
Thank you, mom ♥ and dad ♥ Cumberbatch !
A current thought of those nights:
Why can’t I understand things as my class mates do? Why can’t I get the grades I want? Why can’t I live happy as I should do? I have a beautiful family and lovely friends, but why I’m not happy?
I want to do more, but apparently I can’t.
same feelings, same thoughts

Ok so this is cool but I always wondered how they knew the shadows were different at the same instant. I mean it is not like they had phones. How did they sync up that instant. I feel like that would be interesting to know but no one ever says.
^^^Does anybody know this one? How, that far apart, the time at which the shadows were observed was synced up? I am genuinely curious, not a goddamn moron asking a gotcha question. High/Low tide? (I live in the middle of the country I do not know for the precise habits of tidal activity.) The appearance of a star (or planet) in the sky? Something as utterly mundane as sunrise?
Well, first of all, it wasn’t actually pillars! Eratosthenes was told about a well in Syene that, in the summer solstice every year (June 21st) would be illuminated at the bottom entirely and without any cast shadows. This indicated that the sun was directly overhead. Going off that well known curiosity and an intelligent hunch, our dude Eratosthenes waited until high noon of the summer solstice to measure the angle of a shadow cast by a stick in Alexandria. (Sidenote: Eratosthenes was a librarian of the infamous Library of Alexandria.)
His next course of action was to hire bematists, surveyors of the time whose professional specialty was to measure distance by walking with equal length steps. They measured a distance between Alexandria and Syene of about 5000 stadia. (Guess where the word stadium comes from.) Once he had that measurement, Eratosthenes did his math-y thing, and there you have it.
ANSWER EVEN COOLER THAN I HOPED!!
Eratosthenes’ work was thorough enough that by the time he finished revising his calculations, he ended up only 66 km off of the actual polar circumference of the Earth, or an error margin of 0.16%. [wiki]

Guys. Guys. Look at how high-definition this is. LOOK AT IT. This isn’t a movie. This isn’t CGI. This is OUR FUCKING SOLAR SYSTEM. A;LSKJFA;WFEW
Exciting ***** moments in physics last 5 years (in order of discovery): * Higgs particle * Gravitational waves, including colliding black holes and neutron stars – might be 6 star ;-) * The M87 black hole image for sure! All of them took a long time from idea -> experiment (50 and 100 years respectively) In science in general: * CRISPR-Cas genetic editing * AI and deep learning, solving Go, Chess, and protein folding. * Quantum technology: quantum computers, quantum internet etc. Conclusion: it’s a golden era for science

Reblog if you do any of these while listening to Bohemian Rhapsody
Trying to sing both lead and backing vocals
Pretending to play the piano exactly the way Freddie did
Closing your eyes while singing “Mamaaaa” at the top of your lungs
Pretending to play the guitar and move like Brian
Singing the whole damn operatic part
Trying to do also Roger’s falsetto before the rock part
Headbanging
All of the above
MMMMMAMMAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHUUUUUUuuuuuuUUUUUUUuuuuuhhhh
Ha ha seriously tho.
I needed to hear this right now. <3
My new favorite post.
Benedict Cumberbatch gives advice about being bullied.
“As hard as it may seem, you have to meet it with love. You have to try and empathize with the hate. Not hate yourself but you have to understand why people often want to damage other people is because they’re damaged themselves. And if you could just turn that mirror around a little bit on them then it might quiet it slightly. I realise to stand on your own two feet, to have your own self-worth unaffected by bullies; they don’t really know the real you. They just want to get at something to feel better about themselves. The strongest advice is, and this is really tough, is to not take it personally. To realise it’s not really about you, it’s about them.”
This beautiful human being
Wise words to carry into the New Year. 💞
2019 New Year’s Resolutions
1. Try to read every night
I plan on doing the PopSugar 2019 reading challenge to make sure I do the reading!
2. Spend less time on my phone
I want to spend less time on instagram and more time focusing on my studies and being present in the moment
3. Drink more water and tea (not soda and juices)
I want to lose some weight in the new year and the first thing I am going to do is cut out all soda.
4. Journal memories and thoughts
I want to be able to look back and remember all the good and bad times in college
5. Study smarter, not harder
My goal is to aim for a 4.0 GPA for my spring and fall 2019 semesters. I want to pick up some really good study habits this year.
BAMF Dr. Watson. Three years, I waited for this moment for over three years. No-one can even remotely understand how much this scene meant for me.
and for all of us who screamed: Yes! At last Doctor!John!
And it was as good as we all hoped it would be.
Doctor John H Watson, consulting BADASS.
May I add in something here? I think you may enjoy knowing this if you do not already.
What you saw right there was Captain John H. Watson, FNF, MD, Retired.
I’ve worked with military doctors. Doctors do bark out orders that they expect to be obeyed.
What you saw here was a commanding officer, a Captain, give a command.
While the doctor in John Watson can and has barked out orders we have not seen him give a command before.
This scene was pure Captain John H. Waston, FNF. When an officer gives a command to one of lesser rank he does not expect it to be obeyed; he knows it will be obeyed. There is no question of “if”. That does not exist in the military.
The soldier hesitated at first because John barked at him to “Call the ambulance, now! as Dr. John Watson.
When the soldier did not move to comply then Dr.John Watson switched gears right into Captain John Watson and he issued a command. The solider knew the difference immediately. He obeyed Captain Watson without hesitation.
John remained Captain Watson when he addressed Sherlock as “nurse”. That clearly startled Sherlock. When John became Captain Watson he remained within military protocol and addressed Sherlock in a military manner which is simple SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).
It was also interesting to see Sherlock startled. Evidently he has not seen a lot of Captain Watson either.
Martin did a perfect turn here in this scene. He did not simply become louder, or more insistent. He became commanding.
Well done!
And I absolutely agree with you! John Watson is a complete badass. However when he became military he was Captain John H. Watson, Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers and he was then Captain Badass!
Captain Badass Watson
The difference @losethehours examines above is the thing I attempted to illustrate in my ficlet ‘Attitude of Command’ - my chapter in the collection of ficlets ‘The Way The Cookie Crumbles’, in which @jbaillier, @7-percent, @ghyllwyne, and @bayridgekid and I all used our fortune cookie fortunes as prompts. He doesn’t issue commands with the expectation that they’ll be followed, but with the knowledge that they will be. Ayup. Captain John Badass Watson.

“really?” I say to inanimate objects that are not working like they usually do
“Stay.” I glare at inanimate objects that continuously fall over
“Thank you!” I say exhasperatedly to the inanimate objects when they do finally work right/stay put
“Sorry! I say to the table I bumped into
“SHHH” I say to the inanimate object that keeps making noise
“Yeah, yeah, I’m coming,” I huff at the persistent kitchen timer.
“Don’t take that tone with me!” I exclaim at objects that make strange and sudden unknown noises.
“Stop crying, you’re fine,” I snap as I’m looking for the charger cord for the electronic device beeping demandingly at me.
“Oh nice, real mature,” I snarl at devices that suddenly stop working after I berate them for not working properly.
JESUS CHRIST I HAVE NEVER RELATED SO HARD IN MY LIFE
“could you PLEASE shut the fuck up for once,” i say to the hopefully inanimate object chanting strange latin phrases in the ominously dark corner of my room
