    Two days ago lightning struck my house.. i was standing in the hallway inside, and above me was the door bell ringer... then just BOOM and the entire thing exploded in a bright flash right above me as everything went darkn instantly.. It was so loud that my ears were ringing and i thought i went deaf on my left ear... Some of the appliances also literally exploded including the internet router, and electricity went trough cable wire and fried the samsung tv and digital box.. water heater casing got welded together to a pipe... and on the outside where once stood door bell, now it was a gaping hole sporting hanging charred wires with cement and concrete chunks all over the place.. this has thought me to appreciate the power that lightning can deliver..

    I'm missing something here. The area of a 6 meter diameter circle is ~283,000cm^2. The area of a 2cm bolt is ~3.14cm^2. 283,000cm^2 / 3.14cm^2 = 91,000 bolts. In order to fit 1,000,000 bolts into a 6 meter circle, they bolts would have to be about 0.6 cm in diameter. Or am I just stupid?

    What if you folded yourself in half backwards, and walked around crab-like inside a giant vat of Perchloric acid? Don't you have more valuable questions to answer? Like, what is anyone anywhere, who doesn't already know, going to do with the answer to the question this video answers? It's a not even a nothing burger. It's not even a nothing pickle. You can do better.

    0:54. You cannot treat the Earth as a rigid body. The result of the jump would travel as a wave along and through the Earth and it would take of the order of 1 hour to reach the antipodes of Rhode Island. Therefore, the motion of the Earth in Rhode Island would be definitely more than an atom's width, and when the wave arrives at the antipodes it would probably also be more. Even, the wave would travel through Rhode Island and would take of the order of 10 seconds to go from the centre of Rhode Island to the border. Therefore, it would be more effective if all people would not jump at the same time, but starting in the middle, and then spreading as a wave through the people at the same speed as a seismic wave would travel. We have records of the order of 1000 people jumping that were measured kilometers away by seismographs. So, I guess that if several billion people would jump, it could still be measured at the antipodes by seismometers, i.e. a displacement much larger than an atom's width.

    With fast enough shutter speed you can freeze anything so there must be other reasons, I don't buy it. Esp if it's an electronic shutter.

    Would this cause the Moon to lose some orbit as it "sped" up the Earth's rotation once again? If so, would it eventually be enough to cause it to crash into the Earth or would a homeostasis be found once more?

    Actually, this wouldn't be a hit-by-pitch situation because the batter would not be able to make an attempt to avoid being touched by the ball, as outlined in that nice rule posted there. Instead, the status of the pitch is to be determined by the recently disintegrated umpire.
