I post beautiful facts about life and science. Enjoy the truth.

How can an object (light) have momentum (movement) without mass?

It can do this if it is a wave. A wave transports momentum via its waving motion and not by physically transporting an object with mass. "Momentum" is the directional property of an object in motion that describes its ability to influence another object upon impact. An object with high momentum (such as a truck) can greatly influence the object it collides with (such as a barrel). If a giant water wave collides with a barrel, it can also influence the barrel to move. The water wave therefore carries momentum even though it has no mass. The water itself has mass, but the wave has no mass. A water wave is not a packet of water traveling along. In fact, the water that the wave is traveling through stays more or less in one place. Rather, the wave is a rippling domino-effect of motion. As another example, consider a long jump rope held taught at both ends by two girls. If one girl shakes her end of the rope violently enough to send a wave down the rope to the other girl, the wave can jerk the other girl. The rope has not transported any mass, but it still carries mo4mentum through its waving motion. In this way, waves can have no mass but still carry momentum. In addition to being a particle, light is also a wave. This allows it to carry momentum, and therefore energy, without having mass.

Ridiculous title aside, this Japanese dinosaur mini-series is easily the most ambitious, up-to-date, and beautifully-animated documentaries I’ve ever seen. A perfect balance of both fact and well-educated speculation allows for a wide variety of unique and interesting behaviors to be portrayed. This also includes fight scenes that put even Jurassic Park to shame.

I love seeing couples where you like see them and think "that can't be it" but then it's it and even though they seem so different their hearts are in the same places.

[roachpatrol]

here’s a quokka it’s like someone decided to splice together a wallaby and a teddy bear they literally always look like a benevolent cartoon

i don’t think you can get more wholesome than that adorable lil seed-eating smiley face. they’re not even like dolphins, cute on the outside and evil on the inside. they’re herbivores about the size of a cat. there is nothing wrong with them. 

[spaceshipoftheseus]

The Springhaas, or “irl pikachu” as it is sometimes known, is basically a rat shaped like a bunny abruptly caught in the middle of trying to evolve into a kangaroo. This is why they tend to look startled.

[creaturesofnarrative]

This is a dik dik. They are tiny antelopes from southern and eastern Africa–seriously so smol. With teeny hooves and teeny horns and big soulful eyes. And the name is fun to say. It comes from the alarm call that the females make. They live together in monogamous pairs. 

[dragonnan]

Long Eared Jerboa

The adorable mash-up of a hamster, bunny, and kangaroo. Whiskers with no end, ears that put a fennec to shame, and adorability beyond measure!

bringing this back on your dashes

[dharmagun]

a sichuan takin bull and his daughter

often the color of donald trump’s hair and looking like a cross between a bison and a guinea pig, the takin is actually a bloody big goat-antelope. they have splendid noses, a natural smile, and share their habitat with pandas. which should be good enough for anyone.

[givemeunicorns]

This is an okapi. They are related to giraffe, can lick their own eyeballs and kind of always look like you just asked them for a ride to the airport but look at those ears and the little striped legs ~(*^*)~

MANATEES

Originally posted by lovefloridauk

They’re just big lumps that float around the sea. They’re non-aggressive, non-territorial herbivores that spend most of their time sleeping or eating, or they might be socializing with other manatees or investigating interesting objects.

Best of all, as of this year they are no longer endangered!!

[tiny-pebble]

Tawny Frogmouth “Owl” (not really an owl). I love these angry logs. Near my old house I used to be able to see them sleeping during the day (hence not an owl, who sleep in hollows), and they’d shoot me this intense rage-filled glare if I woke them. 

[darthputa]

Coati! They are native to my country of Panama and they are basically raccon, possum, civet, meerkat hyrbid aka an animal straight outta Avatar the Last Airbended

They come in blonde and red variations too :)

This smol egg is called a pika

[tcfkag]

This is a baby South American Tapirs or Tapirus terrestris are unique for their stripes. It is also called Brazilian Tapir and is the second largest land mammal in South America next to the Baird’s Tapir.

Here’s a full grown one with it’s baby for reference.

And then there is the Malayan (or Asian) Tapir and it looks like a panda that mated with an anteater.

This good friend is a horseshoe crab!! They’ve been around for 630 million years (even older than the dinosaurs!!) and have 10 eyes!! They are very good and completely harmless to people and have blue blood very important in medical research!! I love them so so so much!!!

And this little honey is a swell shark!! They’re a species of catshark and when they get scared they bite their tail and suck in water to make themselves look bigger!!

Absolutely chungy!! So big!! So talented!!!

Also, it's NOT immoral to be a rebel or to be an anarchistic "criminal", not if it isn't against your own morals. Because moral is not some kind of all-encompassing objective truth. It's a principle.

[forcedgap]

You're not unlovable for being insecure or struggling with self love. However, if you're dating someone and your partner can not know where your boundaries are they will not be able to make a move without risking to overstep. It doesn't mean that your partner don't want you in their life or that they're not attracted to you, it means that they're trying to respect you.

Communication is key.

[spndxjck-deactivated20230506]

[forcedgap]

I mean, mom if this is how I feel, this is how I feel, I need you to respect that.

[forcedgap]

What I look for in a potential partner:

Good humor

People person

Romantic

Empathic with boundaries

Enjoys an adventure

Confident

Tea drinker

Showers regularly

Passionate about at least 2 things

Dances with me in the kitchen 1am

Respectful

Honest

Worthy of Mjölnir

Loves me deeply, will have me know because I deserve to know.
