One of my favorite bittersweet memories is when NASA crashed a multi-million spacecraft into Mars because one contractor decided to use feet (12.2) instead of meters (3.71 on Mars) in the gravity calculations for the lander.

Not really, both infrared and ultraviolet is defined to be beyond the visible spectrum. However, some have a slightly broader or narrower visible spectrum than the average. Sometimes we say humans can see a bit into the UV spectrum, sometimes we call that near-UV.

While most of the information in these sorts of meme pages is pretty lighthearted, created to evoke a chuckle or two from viewers, memes are also a great way to share some simple information in a way that is easy to process and retain. So if you want a quick refresher on some physics, internet posts can often do the job faster than your old notes from middle school.
Of course, this sort of quick, humorous information often does cut corners to explain a concept here or there. So it can be worth quickly debunking some common misconceptions. First and foremost, an object's weight isn’t what makes it easy to push and pull, instead, it is inertia. In other words, massively heavy objects in space do still require some effort to move, despite their weightlessness.

The cat knows if it's alive, and therefore counts as an observer, collapsing the wave function. Of course, if it's dead, it can't share this fact.
Giles McArdell 2 years ago
Anyone who has ever owned a cat will know that the cat is somehow no longer in the box and is instead plotting your demise from on top of the fridge.
In other words, in space, an object is weightless, yet it won’t feel as “light as a feather” (in Earth’s gravity). This caveat is really not important to remember for 99% of the population but given that a lot of physics research focuses on space, it still remains an important detail. And this way, you can claim that you simply have a lot of inertia, whenever you need an excuse for stubbornness.

No way this man wasn't autistic (Source: he is my spirit animal and I am neurodivergent as hell). I mean this mostly as a joke, but the centuries old "weird eccentric genius" stereotype comes from the fact that there's a high correlation between intellegence and high functioning neurodivergence and that it existed long before the DSM. To the neurotypicals, we tend to look weird and generally off compared to other humans. People nowadays think I'm odd and ditzy because I spend so much time in my own head and have an unhealthy obsession with logic and math, so I can't help but imagine how bad it was back in the 17th century.
And speaking of space, most of us probably have a very incorrect idea of how large, research telescopes function. While the hobbyist variants that we can buy in stores aren’t that different from the ones used by Galileo or Nicolaus Copernicus, the ones used by major space agencies actually rely on gathering very specific types of light and waves, like x-rays and radio waves.

Maybe it's because I'm looking at this at 3:43 in the morning, but I snort-laughed way too hard at this.
Even our basic discussions of space much resemble the physics problems we had to solve in school. Ignore air resistance, was a classic, or the assertion that some action was happening in a vacuum. Similarly, we assume that, in space, we are weightless. However, even in space, there is still some gravitational pull. Not much on a lone astronaut, but on a planet, quite a bit more.

A common misconception about rockets is that rockets “push” their payload forward. Once you take into account the fact that they still work in space, where there is nothing to push off of, you realize that, actually, they simply move the object in the opposite direction of themselves. If that was confusing, don’t fret, it is, after all, actually rocket science.

This is a real doozy but the interference pattern in the first result is what appears if we do not attempt to detect which slit the photons pass through. It perfectly correlates to what would happen if light was a wave that passed through both slits simultaneously. But as soon as we make any attempt to track which path each individual photon takes, the interference pattern dissapears and it's like it's only individual photons passing through one slit at a time. So we can see each pattern on the wall with our naked eyes, no problem, it's observing which slit light passes through that causes it to not behave like a wave anymore and change the pattern.

If multiplication is defined in a non-Abelian (non-commutative) way then it is possible to define a*b = -b*a. This can happen if a and b are matrices for example. Then (a+b)^2 = a(a+b) + b(a+b) = a^2 + ab + ba + b°2 = a^2 + 0 + b^2. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-abelian_group

As an example of a*b = -b*a, let a and b be any two vectors in 3-D space and let * be the cross product. Then a*b is equal in magnitude to b*a but opposite in direction. Hence a*b + b*a = 0.

In case you're confused, the one on the right is Astra Space's Rocket 3.3 serial number LV0006, launched on the 28 August 2021, which, because of an engine failure at launch drifted off the pad horizontally for several tens of meters until enough fuel had burned off to allow the thrust to finally overcome gravity and move the vehicle vertically. Since the trajectory was off-nominal, the rocket was remotely detonated by range safety at an altitude of 50km (31 mi) before crashing into the ocean downrange of the launch site. The next two rocket launches both reached orbit.
