Slow Motion Flipping Cat Physics | Smarter Every Day 58
High Speed video.
Cats. Physics. Weightlessness. Of all my videos, if you don't share this one,
you probably never will. Please consider sharing by clicking here: http://bit.ly/FLIPPIN_CATS
GiGi was not hurt during the making of this video. We took great care to make
sure she would be safe. Next I'll explain how the physics involved in flipping
cats allow us to operate Space Telescopes (Seriously).

So as simple of a question as this is, it turns out to be a MAJOR POINT OF
STUDY in Physics, Robotics, Space Satellite Control, Weapons Development,
Biomedical Engineering, etc. It's stumped scientists and engineers since
Newton's day. Here's something interesting. The cat isn't twisting his back..
he's actually BENDING it. The next video will go into great detail about what's
going on there, and explain how it relates to studying the farthest points in
the universe (Seriously... the fact that a cat can do this allows us to study
the Universe.. no exaggeration).
The high speed camera used was a Phantom Miro M320S. Rent one yourself by

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would
have saved.
The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate
enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what
you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please share
the video. If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards

Cosmin Moti 2 Penalty Saves vs Steaua
Nama Cosmin Moti mendadak jadi buah bibir gara-gara aksi heroiknya
bersama Ludogorets Razgrad. Moti tampil luar biasa dan meloloskan
Ludogorets ke fase grup Liga Champions.
Moti sejatinya adalah
seorang pemain belakang. Namun, dia terpaksa menjadi kiper darurat saat
Ludogorets berhadapan dengan Steaua Bucharest di leg kedua playoff Liga
Champions di Stadion Vasil Levski, Kamis (28/8/2014) dinihari WIB.
Pertandingan
telah memasuki menit-menit akhir extra time ketika penjaga gawang
Ludogorets, Vladislav Stoyanov, diganjar kartu merah oleh wasit. Karena
Ludogorets telah melakukan tiga pergantian pemain, mereka pun tak bisa
memasukkan kiper pengganti. Mau tak mau, harus ada salah satu outfield
player yang berkorban dan jadi kiper darurat. Moti-lah pemain yang
melakukan pengorbanan tersebut.
Setelah berhasil menjaga
gawangnya tidak kebobolan hingga extra time selesai, Moti selanjutnya
mendapatkan tugas berat. Dia harus menghadapi para algojo lawan dalam
adu penalti.
Namun, Moti menjawab tantangan tersebut dengan cara
yang amat mengesankan. Pemain berusia 29 tahun itu sukses menyarangkan
bola ke dalam gawang saat dipercaya menjadi eksekutor pertama timnya,
kemudian kembali ke bawah mistar dan mementahkan tembakan Paul
Pirvulescu dan Cornel Rapa. Ludogorets pun menang adu penalti 6-5 dan
berhak atas satu tempat di fase grup Liga Champions.
"Ini adalah pertama kalinya saya bermain sebagai kiper," aku Moti seusai pertandingan, seperti dikutip Reuters.
Ludogorets
sebenarnya kalah 0-1 di leg pertama dan nyaris tersingkir karena belum
bisa bikin gol hingga menit-menit akhir leg kedua. Beruntung buat klub
Bulgaria itu, Wanderson menjebol gawang Steaua pada menit ke-90 dan
memaksakan digelarnya extra time.
"Ini adalah
pertandingan yang berat, tapi kami adalah tim yang bagus dan kami
bermain sangat baik. Kami harusnya menang sebelum adu penalti," kata
Moti.
Lolos ke fase grup Liga Champions menyisakan masalah
tersendiri buat Ludogorets. Pasalnya, mereka tak punya stadion yang
memenuhi standar UEFA. Untuk menjamu Steaua saja, mereka harus pergi ke
Stadion Nasional Vasil Levski yang terletak di ibukota Bulgaria, Sofia.
Sayangnya,
Stadion Nasional Vasil Levski juga tak memenuhi standar UEFA untuk
pertandingan di fase grup. Mereka pun mungkin saja harus melakoni
laga-laga kandangnya di negara lain.
"Saya berharap mereka
mengizinkan kami untuk memperbaiki kondisi stadion dan main di sini.
Kalau tidak, kami harus bermain di Albania atau Makedonia," kata pemilik
Ludogorets, Kiril Domuschiev.

Foto Jakarta Hasil Jepretan Astronot
Dilansir io9.com, Dave MacClean, salah satu akademisi di Centre of Geographic Sciences, Nova Scotia baru-baru ini membuat peta interaktif yang menunjukkan sejumlah area di dunia yang berhasil dipotret oleh para astronaut yang kemudian diposting melalui Twitter.
Terdapat sedikitnya 650 foto hasil jepretan para astronot yang bertugas di International Space Station (ISS) itu. Sejumlah kota besar di berbagai benua terekam oleh lensa para awak ISS. Jakarta adalah salah satunya.
Foto itu diambil oleh astronaut asal Jerman Alexander Gerst dan diposting melalui Twitter pada 8 Agustus 2014.
Dalam postingnya Gerts hanya menulis "Jakarta #bluedot". Tentu saja foto tidak detail karena diambil dari angkasa luar, hanya terlihat daratan dan lautan layaknya di peta.
Sejumlah kawasan di Indonesia juga masuk dalam penglihatan lensa para astronaut. Alamat peta interaktif tersebut dapat diakses melalui tautan ini https://www.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=7cd4e3c8a8fd4e9dbb46cb2e39cd83e3

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
Snap, back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he won't
Give up that easy, no
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go

Umat yang Produktif
Suatu hari, Ibrahim bin Adham berbincang-bincang dengan salah seorang muridnya dalam tasawuf yang bernama Syaqiqal-Bakhi.
Ibrahim lalu bertanya kepada sang murid, “Apa pekerjaanmu sebelum menjadi muridku?” “Saya seorang pengusaha dari Balkh. Tapi, karena tertarik pada tasawuf saya tinggalkan bisnis saya,” jawab Syaqiq.
Ibrahim bertanya, “Mengapa kamu tinggalkan bisnismu kemudian menjadi pengikutku?” “Pada saat menjadi pengusaha, saya selalu dilanda perasaan resah, gelisah, dan ketidakpastian tentang masa depan usaha saya,'' jawab Syaqiq.
''Sampailah suatu ketika saya berada di daerah padang pasir yang jauh dari keramaian. Saya melihat seekor burung jatuh ke tanah dengan kondisi memprihatinkan karena sayapnya patah,” ujar Syaqiq.
Ia lalu melanjutkan, “Saya terharu, merasa kasihan dan iba terhadap musibah yang menimpa burung itu. Pastilah, dia akan mati karena tidak ada makanan baginya. Ketika saya berpikir begitu, tiba-tiba ada seekor burung lain yang terbang ke arah burung yang patah sayap itu, di paruh burung itu ada makanan.''
''Lalu, dia menjatuhkan makanan itu untuk burung yang patah sayapnya.” Melihat peristiwa itu, Syaqiq pun berpikir. Burung yang patah sayap saja masih mendapatkan makanan dan bisa meneruskan hidupnya dalam keadaan apa pun. “Tentulah manusia lebih dari itu,” ungkap dia.
Ibrahim pun langsung menyanggah, “Syaqiq, mengapa engkau hanya berpikir menjadi burung yang patah sayapnya itu, sementara engkau tidak berpikir untuk menjadi burung yang terbang dan memberikan makanan kepada sesamanya yang kelaparan dan membutuhkan.”
Sang guru pun memberi nasihat, “Seharusnya engkau berusaha menjadi burung yang memberikan makanan itu, sebab umat Islam dianjurkan menjadi umat yang produktif.”
Nasihat Ibrahim bin Adham kepada muridnya mengingatkan kita agar menjadi umat beriman yang produktif, selalu berorientasi memberi kebahagian kepada orang lain. Bukan justru sebaliknya, selalu mengharapkan bantuan dan pertolongan orang lain.
Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Barang siapa memberikan kemudahan terhadap orang yang dalam kesusahan maka Allah akan memberikan kemudahan kepadanya di dunia dan akhirat. Allah akan senantiasa menolong hamba-Nya selama ia masih menolong saudaranya.” (HR Muslim).
Oleh karena itu, penting bagi kita untuk berusaha menjadi orang pertama yang membantu orang yang sedang membutuhkan dan kesusahan.
Bukankah menebarkan kebaikan dan kebahagiaan kepada orang lain dengan tulus itu bagaikan harumnya bunga. Selain dapat menebarkan keharuman kepada si penanam. Keharuman bunga itu juga dapat dirasakan orang-orang yang berada di sekitarnya.
