And I interviewed a collector named Don Marron, who sadly just died a few weeks ago, who, when he was young, had the great excitement of getting let in past the velvet rope . But he realized he hadn't gotten all the way, because even though they were great new paintings on the walls by Lichtenstein, and Rothko, and Stella,Castelli wasn't necessarily going to sell him those paintings.
thing about it what is the surprise there always nice if we can have a surprise in our puzzles it's called The Rope around the earth who hears over yeah so so like a good you you're math people you know you're my people soyou've heard about the Rope around the Earth but this and even though this is when
do find that to be such a cute of thoughts that you have this ginormous rope you extend it by such a fraction and yet you could have billions of dogs going underneath it at the same time allaround the earth it's kind of kind of amazing now
of the radius of the Earth so by extension what I said before if we had a rope around a football or a rope around Jupiter or a rope around the Sun or arope around the entire universe and we extended it by a single meter you'd be
rope around a football or a rope around Jupiter or a rope around the Sun or arope around the entire universe and we extended it by a single meter you'd beable to get those dogs underneath it it make the actual size of the sphere makes absolutely no difference so that's the easy part and
raise it at one point so this is what we're going to do what size of animal can get under the Rope if you have a rope the size of the Earth the rcomp of the Earth this rope here you can add one meter to it and you hold it up
was this yellow rope above me and I reached up and I grabbed the yellow rope and it saved me. Um, so as we're all kind of slipping down towards this point, there's really no yellow rope anymore is there, we're just goin'. Um, and I don't know what's gonna happen, but you know, I think it will be kind of fun and I think it will be a good time.Um, so as we march forward there is a new culture emerging, right? There is sort of an old culture which will always exist, but people on the Internet they want beautiful
To our left was a chain link fence, and behind that a line of tall shaggy spruces that bounded the grounds of a grade school. Roper and Steed taunted us with rude gestures and tried to shake us by peeling off into a maze-like neighborhood.
To our left was a chain link fence, and behind that a line of tall shaggy spruces that bounded the grounds of a grade school. Roper and Steed, in the few moments I could still see them in the rear view mirror, gaped after us.

it's exhausting tremendous amount of energy going on there. ropes around it and put it in a corral.
It's funny how you get sucked into science, if you're in my orbit. I rope everyone in. And then also, just one other thing for everybody to know about me, if you didn't search for me before the talk,
It's composed of four rows. Two rope lines frame in a chain of octagons. And then the bottom row is made up of six cruciforms.
-Real deal, man. Antarctica. that rope 's gonna saw in half.
So we had the monkey was dancing around within an iron. The rope attached itself. The other end of the rope was attached to that kite.
So what happened is that this is actually crazy overhanging, maybe 25 degrees. My rope was anchored at the top. And then I was kicked through one of the quickdraws on the route.
To our left was a chain link fence, and behind that a line of tall shaggy spruces that bounded the grounds of a grade school. Sister Roper and Sister Steed.
To our left was a chain link fence, and behind that a line of tall shaggy spruces that bounded the grounds of a grade school. Sister Roper grabbed Snow by the lapels.
To our left was a chain link fence, and behind that a line of tall shaggy spruces that bounded the grounds of a grade school. Said Roper, flapping her arms in dismay.
was saying that Eisenhower was going to win by a landslide. 490 electoral votes to 89. The Roper poll was saying that it was going to be a close race. So what did Walter Cronkite do? He lied to the American people and said the UNIVAC says it's going to be a close race. Well sure enough, when the votes were in, 491 to 88. The UNIVAC had missed by one electoral
That's about three times that of typical dragline silk, but steel is also about six times denser. So for two ropes with the same mass and length, the silk rope has six times the cross-sectional area. Six times the area at one third the strength, well, that gives a rope that can take twice the force before it snaps.
That's strength. But climbers don't just hang, they fall. And now the rope has to bring them to a stop, which means absorbing that kinetic energy. Stop the fall in a short distance, and the energy has to be absorbed quickly.
Here it is in slow motion. So even though the ropes on the side were slack and we cut the only rope in tension, the weight somehow went up. Okay, so if you're unconvinced that cutting the green rope actually makes the weight go up, here's a huge version of the experiment.
If you look at the setup right after the green rope is cut, you'll notice that this is actually exactly how the springs are laid out. So the red rope is connecting the bottom spring directly to the hook above, and the black rope is connecting the top spring to the weight. So these springs are in parallel.
So by cutting the green rope , you're actually forcing the springs to go from a series to a parallel, and that change is what causes the contraction to happen. When you cut the rope , each spring only extends by about half as far as before, which is why you can add so much slack on these black and red ropes to give the impression that the weight is going to fall down.
to give the impression that the weight is going to fall down. When you cut the rope , you go from series to parallel, and that pushes you up. The slack ropes , that's where I get to cheat, and that's the misleading bit, you know?
us and they're waving and they're saying, "Send more bananas." And so they loaded up another boat and they pushed another boat out, and this time they gave them some rope . They all had rope tied around their waists, penises tied up. But they love rope and some of them were wearing rope that they had made, which is brown or reddish. And then some of them were wearing rope
They all had rope tied around their waists, penises tied up. But they love rope and some of them were wearing rope that they had made, which is brown or reddish. And then some of them were wearing rope that they had clearly pillaged from logging camps or the communities because it was modern nylon paracord. And they had this wound around their waists like
There was a rope used to tie goats and they tied us with it.
There's no velvet rope .
And then she found rope .
So that specific rope ladder that they were using, hanging cliffside in Nepal and Tibet, is actually a long-used tool of the trade.
Right? We should talk, just be ourselves. We're Shovels & Rope . Just be ourselves. We're from Charleston, South Carolina.
Can you climb the rope ?
They're making wire rope .
This is a rope -making machine-- quite an elaborate machine with this clockwork mechanism
We're seeing the rope and all these different species.
He took the rope .
He thought about this rope .
of that velvet rope .
These climbing rope triangles are fairly common.
Or jumping rope , skipping, right?
So the rope wrapped around my legs, lit my body completely on fire to my neck.
You go a rope length at a time.
listen to rope lines and P lines and stuff and we've done many scenes where
um well let's do the math so we've got the Earth the radius we've got the the the the Rope which is the circumference the Rope when it's pulled up from the Earth is the Rope plus one meter and that's the H we're looking for H so we know the circumference is 2 pi r we know
the the Rope which is the circumference the Rope when it's pulled up from the Earth is the Rope plus one meter and that's the H we're looking for H so we know the circumference is 2 pi r we know the circumference plus one is 2 pi r plus h put all that together we get 1al 2 pi H so H is 1 over 2
on the circumference of of of the of the globe and then you could somehow add one meter to that rope and if the whole purpose is to get animals underneath the Rope you're not going to try and work out a way to raise it at exactly the same amount all the way around the world you're going to
animal the actual answer is when you have a rope that goes around the earth you add one meter to the Rope You Pull the Rope up at one point is 20 giraffes okay to solve that you need to be do a bit of um trigonometry if you want to know how to do it it's in the back of my book it's
on a rope as I drift, and decided to swap out my wildly popular shredded bait fish for a new live one.
