Taking a Turkey-s Temperature Topi: In highschool our first test on thermodynamics contained the following question: How high one must drop a cube of ice which sides were each 1cm so that on impact the energy will melt the cube? No air resistance, no shattering on impact, you know the drill, make it just simple calculation without going into the nightmare of nature. Almost everybody got it wrong and complained that they didn't know what was the equation of potential energy as that was what was covered in the course before. Some people think that because subject is divided in courses that you don't need to know what course 1 teached when studying course 2. This simple question told those people that their assumption was false. Some dropped out and some got it.

We need more Cliff!
I love his energy and enthusiasm. Even though my physics teacher in both junior high and high school (Swedish comparison) were great compared to in other nature science classes I would still take him in a heartbeat.
Would be interesting to know from my experience if maybe physics teachers in general are better than in other subjects of nature science? Did you have a bad one? Tell me: )
From my experience physics teacher are still interested and like their subject even when teaching simple things while teachers in like chemistry, biology and math (not nature science I know but used in it) lacks interest and seem a bit bored teaching it.

Having watched numberphile for years and seen this particular chap on and off over the years. it's only -just- occurred to me that this is THE Cliff Stoll! Author of the extremely excellent -Cuckoos Egg-, a book that helped set me on life of Computer Science.
I'm off to read it again now, thanks Cliff!

All I could think about throughout the video is: Cliff lives in a terminally cluttered -Craftsman- house, almost certainly pre WW1, that could be almost anywhere in the US. I don't think I could count the number of identical looking living rooms (minus the wonderful clutter) I've been in.

That sounds like a lot of fun.
Still centigrade-blech!
Rankine is the only right way!
O. K, so, Z such that 5Z has a digit in the tens place such that that plus 2Z is ten. So the lowist it can be is five, so five time five is -five. .. 20. .. Geez its four!
IT'S FOUR PEOPLE!

Wonder if there were fewer cases of salmonella that year too! Excellent teacher, wish my science teachers were like that. My life might well have been much different. Not that I regret meeting hubby, having kids I'm so proud of. But career wise, it would have been so much better.

Wouldn't a live turkeys temperature rise slightly during the day?
Humans internal temperature tends to rise by 1 degree Celsius through the day, It would be interesting to know know if it was the same for turkeys or other birds.

Should have got an A, for an A+ the biology teacher might have told you that a live turkey has a daily diurnal temperature range that swings by 2-3 degrees Fahrenheit between a low usually around 4 am and a high around 4pm

I have been working on research of prime number since 3 years amd i believe that i can list prime number continuously( all) using a two alzebrical formula
Is that a progress in prime number or not?

I really liked my 8th grade science teacher, but I think I also would have really appreciated having Cliff Stole as a teacher. Even if he did make me take a turkey's temperature over break.
