The tensile strength of super glue can be upwards of 25 mega pascals, which is similar to other polymers, meaning a square patch just five centimeters on a side could suspend a fully grown African elephant. But super glue also has its weaknesses.
case of Luna Cod it was about you know getting some mileage um under its belt in our case we can go as fast as 10 centimeters a second while still making that Neutron spectrometer measurement so we can measure on the Fly we don't have to stop and measure but our uh runout speed is something closer to 25 cmers a second if we're trying to just get to
every little cubic centimeter in between the galaxies is getting bigger as a function of time so if you have more centimeters in between you and a far away Galaxy you're being pushed apart by the expansion of the universe faster and your recession velocity will be bigger if you trace backwards 14 billion years everything was landing on top of everything else and we call that the Big
deal with earthquakes. And this mirror -- this is one of the mirrors of the VLT -- you can see that shiny bit, that's 8.2 meters across and it's 18 centimeters thick and the whole thing weighs, just the mirror, weighs about 23 tons. And it's so heavy and, uh, relatively thin compared to its diameter that as the telescope is moving, uh, sort of from zenith to our horizon and back and forth
Cory Doctorow >> Well, I actually say arguably that music is better online than it is in CD, at least if you live in London, right? Every centimeter I give over to a CD is a centimeter I can't give over to my daughter, you know? In my tiny London flat so yeah I mean, we took all the DVD's out of the sitting room and ripped them and all of the sudden we got like three more shelves we could use for books. It was fantastic, right? And we compressed them down to a hard drive about 'yay big', right? This is brilliant. So yeah,
Given an image under a projection, like a photograph, we can infer its so-called focal length. 18 centimeters, much, much, much too short.
And, like, I just, I really enjoyed it. 6 centimeters of aluminum, a meter of crushed lunar rock-- just basically sand, not processed at all.
So if you've got a cross-sectional area of two centimeters squared for the main vessel, then each of the two branches need to have an area of one centimeter squared each, for large vessels at least. For smaller ones, daughter branches can be a bit thicker to allow blood to slow down and exchange resources with the tissue it's reaching.
Okay, so we have our simulated blender. We’re 2 centimeters tall and we have to jump at least 30 centimeters to get out. I was like, well, what about me?
Well then that would have a volume of 10 by 10 by 10, or a thousand cubic centimeters, and it would have an area of 10 by 10 by six sides, 600 square centimeters. So the surface area to volume ratio would be 0.6 to one. But now imagine we have a much smaller flyer that is just one cubic centimeter in volume.
Well, its surface area is going to be one by one times six. That is six square centimeters. So that's gonna be 10 times the surface area to volume ratio.
How much do you have left to tie up Sally?" And first of all, why are we tying people up? And 30 centimeters of a string is really not very much string to tie someone up with, anyway. So that was a really great example of pushing something for some reason that's clearly not the reason that is-- they're not fulfilled
Wow, that was good. although a centimeter at a time, they're not happening, because you get busy.
And then real-time kinematic, most of you are aware of this technique, perhaps, using carrier phase. Carrier wavelength is 19 centimeters. And I can measure it to 1%.
The guys who made it just went silent. It's like a centimeter-- Super clunky.
We have common terns in Israel. This was 40 centimeters away, maybe, if I remember-- something like that.
It could be 15 centimeters I couldn't walk.
And, like, I just, I really enjoyed it. And then another 6 centimeters of aluminum.
It's about nine centimeters long with its shell.
They're 10 centimeters apart.
A basketball's 24 centimeters in diameter.
But with eight centimeter resolution-- so this is a piece of a later Roman ladder settlement, we call them.
They're 21 centimeters long when they're emitted, and then they reach us, and they get stretched out.
1U is a 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter cube.
than about 50 centimeter resolution, at least in the US.
Or ten centimeters shorter than the confederate.
When I am ten centimeters shorter than you, -- again I don't consciously notices this-- No one's actually perceiving the height difference in an explicit way--.
When I am ten centimeters shorter than you, I am three times as likely to lose the negotiation than when I am the same height or taller than you.
itself is expanding the reason why a distant Galaxy is moving away from us faster than a nearby Galaxy is because every little cubic centimeter in between the galaxies is getting bigger as a function of time so if you have more centimeters in between you and a far away Galaxy you're being pushed apart by the expansion of the universe faster and your recession velocity will be bigger
A microwave photon of 10.4 centimeters will be enough.
Let's just approximate a flyer by a cube. Let's say it's 10 centimeters on a side. Well then that would have a volume of 10 by 10 by 10, or a thousand cubic centimeters, and it would have an area of 10 by 10 by six sides,
So collisional excitation of 21-centimeter radiation-- that is electron-hydrogen atom collisions-- is in very important diagnostics of the early universe.
The density that I showed in one centimeter cubed-- they would be 10 to the 15, or 18, or 20 particles in one centimeter cubed.
And so this is about a centimeter long.
The bowel should move roughly 30 centimeters-- 12 inches-- of feces every day.
another one from about one or two centimeters away.
It's got a 300-cubic centimeter brain, so about a quarter of the size of-- maybe a little less than a contemporary human.
Can we compress it down to a centimeter?
regolith followed by another six centimeters of aluminum.
And you can measure how many centimeters or how many inches these changes have been made.
But it was necessary every single 10-centimeter sample.
uh you know light weather um light weather conditions if you will even though this is an airless body uh shallow I sit stable in the first centimeter uh first 50 centimeters versus 50 to 100 deeper all these things are uh uh answers that we wish to be able to get on this Mission our customer which is NASA
So it doesn't have eight centimeter resolution data very often, which is a pity.
So this is a five centimeter probably, and this is the conventional archaeological air photography.
So this is an eight centimeter, and it is an oblique photograph.
And they just made their pitch 60 centimeters wider on both sides, which, when you do the maths, is a lot wider in square meters.
Our brains are about 1,400 cubic centimeters.
So he's actually generated literally centimeter scale, three-dimensional images of both these stromatolites as well as the coral reefs.
It's generally less than a centimeter in length.
And when it was about 5 centimeters, the doubling stopped.
