But what is the resonance frequency of Spock's heart?

[seiberwing]

I have the best Physics of Sound and Music teacher ever.



I shot this picture while he was describing a Star Trek episode in which Kirk and Spock are running away from the bad guys down a mountain when they get an idea to use their communicators to hit the resonance frequency of the mountain and cause an avalanche. Except there's no way that could have worked because the communicators use radio frequencies, but it might work if the communicators had some ultrasound function and they turned them all the way up. He's not sure if they do but he wanted to find a way of making it work.

I'm not sure if it's more or less awesome than him showing a clip of "Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo".

.... I would worship that teacher forever.

And actually pay attention to physics. Maybe.

I didn't fall asleep in class at all. It was amazing.

...Your teacher is freaking awesome.

Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to, oh, I don't know...just happen along one day and, say...kidnap him or something like that, would that be a problem?

Hypothetically speaking, of course. *innocent whistles*

You aren't allowed to kidnap my teacher.

You are allowed to be smuggled into class, of course.

They'd still need to pump an awful lot of energy into that mountain from a small handheld device. And do natural mountains, with their semirandom composition and structures, plus being part of, y'know, the ground, really have actual resonance frequencies?

Someone needs to get this man's DNA and use it to make the teachers of the future. Where are all these classes when I'm signing up for my semesters?

Can I sit in under your desk?

We don't have desks, it's an auditorium (you can't see, since I used the zoom while stealth!photographing). One assumes it's because a normal classroom can't hold his awesome.

I'll put you under the seat.

Curses. I had been thinking that the perspective was because his class had broken the space time continuum with awesome. I like my reason better than auditorium seating.

But I still get to sit in, so yaay!

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Yes, his class enabled me to fly. He's that awesome.

That's awesome.

And it makes the subject much more interesting.

I just rewatched that episode.
It's got JULIE NEWMAR IN IT!!

And she is PREGNANT!

They are RESCUEING pregger!blondeTVcatwoman!

Srsy! Amazing!

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

That was not mentioned in the lecture.

[deeleit.livejournal.com]

...but it's so totally relevant to the sound and physics because if Kirk and Spock didn't have to save JULEFUCKINGNEWMAR than it wouldn't work.

see?

fisiks.
