all messed up
it's impressive how everything can become all messed up really quickly. If you're doing ok with everything then one thing going crazy or not how it should go, that's fine, it's not messed up, it'll sort itself out, with a bit of help along the way.
What happens when one more thing goes wrong?
It's starting to get a bit much, you get frustrated more easily, some stuff just doesn't seem to matter as much as what you know it should.
So we've reached that stage.
Now imagine that the last ime you went completly off the rails, you only got half way back on, because you had to, because you're always fine. You've never really gotten over what it was, but it's ok, because you've surpressed it, nobody really knows how much it bothers you, how much you can't think about it.
So when you're starting to mess things up, it's not all going as easily as it should, what's left to go wrong?
Nothing, nothing at all.
And then IT comes back. IT just doesn't stop. IT just can't leave you alone. IT will always be there.
Physics from a plane window
So the title would suggest that I'm about to list all the physics I can think of that could be seen from a plane window, but I'm not, because there would bound to be loads that I would miss and more importanlty, I don't understand enough yet, maybe some day I will know enough; but before I stray from my chosen topic…
Let me set the scene, I'm on my way to France, it's cloudy and just got sat in my seat. It's a window seat, over and slightly behind the wing, the best place to be in my opinion.
The plane takes off, we get above the clouds and it's really clear and bright up there. The plane is directly between the whitest clouds (so they won't really be the whitest, but it's to create the image, artist licsence or something) and the brightest sun. Here comes the physics (drumroll please…) … There was a plane shillouetted against the clouds, quite hard to see as it was surrounded by the birghtest white spot. That's not the best bit, surounding this amazingly bright spot was a chromatic aberation! There we go folks, all that build up for a rainbow in a circle. Sorry but it impressed me.
