Najnowszy odcinek „Smarter Every Day”* jest poświęcony jedynej dyscyplinie sportowej, z której relacje śledzę, czyli disc golfowi.

Destin nie tylko był na zeszłorocznych mistrzostwach świata, do oglądania których zachęcałem na blogu**, ale też spotkał się z zawodnikami (z rozgrywek faceckich, ale zawsze coś) i naukowcem rozgryzającym fizykę lotu dysku. W sumie półtora godziny ciekawego materiału o rzucaniu frisbee xD

I got curious about whips and came across this video from Smarter Every Day with guest April Choi. They took amazing slo-mo footage with Schlieren imaging of a whip cracking and breaking the speed of sound. You can see the shock wave forming around the tip of the whip. It's incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnaASTBn_K4 (the video has an ad for Audible near the end)

2/2

The molecular motors that power bacteria's flagella are incredible. I had heard of these before, but the research is more advanced than it was when I was in grad school. They can image the individual subunits of the molecular motor with a cryoTEM and extract a 3D model of the motor. It's like a nanoscale electrical stepper motor. Amazing!

I really enjoyed this Smarter Everyday video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPSm9gJkPxU&t=1

Today I learned:

"Long time no see" originated in the United States as "a jocular imitation of broken English."

"Long time no see" is similar to the Chinese phrase 好久不 見 (Mandarin traditional), 好 耐 冇 見 (Cantonese), 好久不见 (Mandarin simplified), meaning "haven't seen [you] in a long time", further meaning "we have not seen each other in a long time".

Similarly, "Look-see" is also attributed to Chinese pidgin English by the Oxford English dictionary.

How did I come across this, you may ask?

Because I found myself saying the phrase "No tickee, no shirtee!" to my children, because I grew up hearing it, and never thought anything of it, and thought - maybe I should look that up, because it's probably racist. And it was:

"No ____, no ____" predates the origin of Chinese Pidgin English, but is also a notable example of fabricated pidgin English: (沒 票 沒 襯衣) meaning "If you don't have a laundry receipt, I won't give you your shirts", said to be a fabricated pidgin English inaccurately attributed to the Chinese laundry proprietors.

In 1886, a New York City bill cited this phrase in reference to Chinese-owned dry cleaning establishments.

In 1921 a movie titled "No Tickee No Shirtee" further popularized the saying.

Another famous use of this phrase is "No money, no talk" (冇錢冇得傾 (Cantonese)), which simply means "If you don't have the money, don't try to bargain with me".

Continuing in the vein of knowing more about how things in the world around you function Smarter Every Day is another great YouTube channel to follow.

In this video Destin covers how center pivots are constructed and function, along with the role they play in putting food on your table.
