So… That happens when you divide by zero?
actually yeah it can (and sometimes does!) cars won’t start, trains derail, and planes start to fall out of the sky ( the F-16 actually had this problem! In testing it with Israel I think in the middle east, the base the planes were flying out of was at below sea level. It took off OK, but when it went to land, it would descend, reach 0ft sea level, would divide that altitude as part of it’s OS, and then the program crashed (not the plane though). Drove everyone nuts trying to figure it out until someone noticed that little fact, and they immediatly sent out a software patch.
Only two know: God & Chuck Norris.
they are the only two in existence to actually divide by zero…………and live…
god is dead
…and no one cares…
WRONG! god is Chuck Norris!
One day my buddy made a program on his Ti-83+ calculator, to make some calculation on physics class easier.
To crush his program, I got his calculator and typed 0 for mass…
Damn those massless, frictionless rods!
What the f—!?
That’s a “glory hole” at an above dam lake. (I’m not making that name up)
That particular hole is in California.
Monticello dam “Glory Hole”, Napa County, CA.
“Glory Hole?” Seriously!?
So – despite what the song says, we’re not going to be saved by zero?

It’s the V’s, stealing our water…
I know where that is… I have been there.
dividing by 0=black holes in space and on earth?
Dividing by zero breaks math, which is the foundation of everything.
WTF?
are you f*kin sirious?
P.D. i’m not
it doesnt destroy math, it is just undefined. different.
Keep in mind that math is not the foundation of everything. Math is only a human construct that forms the basis of our attempts to explain everything.
A divide-by-zero in physics doesn’t mean the universe implodes – it simply means that you need to restructure your math to explain what’s going on.
there are already black holes in space AND on earth if you know where to look
Speaking of, has the large hadron collider destroyed the earth yet?
So THIS is what happened when Albert Einstein tried to divide by zero in one of his theories…. The bastard, but it looks kinda cool….
Ahh Mother Earths belly button, an inney
What’s this photo from?
It’s the “gloryhole” at the Monticello Dam in Napa County California
An extreme water slider’s dream.
it’s actually an under water drainage pipe for lake berryessa. And yes the “Glory Hole” is it’s real nick name. If you YouTube it there are a bunch of cool skate videos.
That’s one massive sink hole from environmental toxins!
Even if it WERE a sinkhole, it wouldn’t look like that. That’s a lake, and sinkholes don’t happen at the top of lakes. They would happen at the bottom.
As previously stated, it’s obviously a man made structure.
BLACK-HOLE, when particule accelerator go wrong!
fail, if the LHC made one it would be REALLY tiny and it would evaporate into a puff of energy
Or it could suck in the energy and continue to do so until the universe is swallowed. You just never know…
But a black hole doesn’t operate like that. Its event horizon is too small, and its gravitational pull is really only limited to said horizon. If a singularity really did “swallow” everything, we would have no space. Entities like Cygnus X and galactic centers would have consumed everything already, but the universe is expanding, not moving toward said holes.
actually, if a partical accelerator backfired it would have the capability to create a minature blackhole (non-stationary) which would the ndrift to the center of the earth and make the planet implode.
Backfired? Not at all. Some particle accelerators create microscopic black holes as a part and parcel of doing business – it’s just another day at the office.
These microscopic black holes, as the theory has it, should evaporate into nothing almost the moment they come into existence.
Even if they did not, the Hadron Collider (I’m pretty sure I have the right particle accelerator here) at the point of collision, has both streams of particles angled upwards, creating an x-shaped crossfire. Any black holes created would have a combined vector from those streams that pointed straight out of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Not a fail. We’re not sure hawking radiation exists yet, so if it doesn’t and the LHC creates black holes we’re just screwed. Until we know there is actually a mechanism that allows black holes to evaporate it’s a legitimate concern.
Alright, we HAZ found hawking radiation, but veery faint.
wait… so that picture isnt computer generated? it actually exists? creepy.
Only Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
Only because Bruce Campbell taught him how.
Hail to the king, baby.
im gonna divine your zero ! Divide this !
Holy crap! XD
I wouldn’t like to get sucked into…. Whatever that is…
Chuck Norris got killed by bruce li in one of his movies and all in all he really isnt that great of a martial artist… lib we-ners. you all probably say that nuclear power plants are bad as well right?… sad sad… Why is man always the problem with issues last time I checked we are all men (not a sexist comment) so if we are the problem why dont you get rid of it and save the time of others who do stuff instead of whinning.
Honestly? none of that comment mad any sense. I feel like you just picked random words and strung them together.
honestly dude you cant get a full meaning out of this…use punctuation…plz ! see ? (6 periods , 1 exclamation point ,1 question mark) Also check this out :

Only one way to rectify it… multiply by zero!
oh wait..
youse guys are a riot!
It’s actually an electricity generator in Wales UK.During the night it uses excess generated electricity to pump water from a lower lake to this higher one,then during peak daytime periods it flows back down generating electricity when it’s needed.
Wouldn’t you generate excess electricity during the day, then require more at night, when everybody . . . you know, uses lights more?
This is definitely, definitely the glory hole at Monticello dam in California, USA, damming Lake Berryessa. “Glory Hole” is a slang term for any bell-mouth spillway.

Lighting is not the primary consumer of electricity, air conditioning is. Peak demand for power (at least in hot climates) is about noon to 6 pm.
Air-conditioning… in Wales?
i find it interesting that you can take an interesting photo, turn it into a demotivational photo and then strike up a physics conversation around it.
i find it interesting that you expected something else out of this site
WIN
ha thats the “Glory Hole” in berryessa lake
yeah! it hella is i knew someone else would know
I know four people who would know. They all posted that information to this thread before you.
Annnd . . . I fail, for misreading sentences with broken punctuation. Ah well.
Oh no, i just divided by zero! I dont think im going to finish this comm…..
