Haha good deduction, I do find that interesting. I'm a huge fan of f.lux - if you haven't heard of it yet you should definitely check it out, dims and changes your pc monitor to be more orange (or perhaps just less blue) towards night time. I want to set up some sort of intelligent LED lighting in my bedroom, I can't stand bright lights and much prefer 'ambient' lighting where the light source is hidden. 'Colour psychology' type stuff is pretty intriguing too, being able to change the colour of my lighting to suit or even direct my mood would be great.

Awesome reply thank you!

What are your favourite simple demonstrations of the magic of physics? Weird balancing tricks, pendulums or what have you

Do we have the technology to accurately record the force of a strike a la the Dragonball Z Punching Machine? How expensive would such a machine be?

In some video games (e.g. Skyrim) the physics goes mental if the frame rate is over 60fps. Are there any real world or theoretical scenarios where something like this happens?

How do those spear-thrower sticks work?

What is your favourite force?

Will we ever be able to use magnets for some sort of propulsion system or at least badass hovering furniture?

I have heard that many animals if enlarged would not be able to sustain their own body weight, what about the reverse? Could a tiny human leap like a flea?

Feel free to answer any, all or none of these questions as you see fit.
