      Also they are all way too spaced out! Every good physics teacher should know that the objects should really be touching before impact to properly transmit the energy of the impact…

    If toddlers and small children possessed a better understanding of Newtonian physics, there would be far fewer child injuries, I’d bet.

    We Gen Xers had Mr. Wizard back in the 80s. No lovable Billy Nye, this guy taught you shit while also calling you out ON your shit. Kinda like if Red Foreman hosted a science show on Nickelodeon.
