Girl gets her arm nerves electro-stimulated...

She has electrodes stuck to her that make her arm twitch on its own.

I find the way their nature changes after sunset to be very interesting.

Is that high up or are the cloud close to the ground? Could you walk into the clouds?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's definitely close to the ground, and it might actually be fog if it's touching the ground. If it is fog, you can walk into it.

Forever surprised that people don’t understand density and gravity.

And pressure wave propagation.

There's no need to be patronizing about fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. It's not a common class that people are exposed to.

It can be challenging to grasp without the right information being present. My own understanding is under constant development.

I was gonna say salty stuff about the current populace being misguided but you diffused that with your comment. Go GreasedPrimate Go!

They are waves.

Clouds are particles, not waves.. oh wait wrong argument, wrong century. As you were.

it's all fluids so yeah. Nice timelapse.

Even the mountains if you think about it. You can kinda tell when looking at foothills. They almost look like waves carved out of stone.

Oops! All fluids!

Dynamically so.

Gotta be a 'Your Mom Said Last Night' joke in here somewhere.

Yeah, water vapor is invisible, so what you are seeing is all liquid (suspended in invisible gas). Plus a little dust.

aerosol — a colloidal suspension of particles dispersed in air or gas... but it contains fluid, nonetheless.

5 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 2

Fluid dynamics is applicable to flows of both fluid and gas, so in the sense of them behaving as fluids, they follow the same rules.

Facts

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

Can attest to this as a 3D FX artist. Both fluids, though smoke is voxels and liquid is usually a combination of particles and voxels.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

With the added complication that the droplets that make up clouds can spontaneously appear or disappear.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Fluid dynamics does cover condensation, too, I believe. More complicated to do so of course, but it's still within bounds.

Solids act like fluids too if you’re on a big enough scale.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some things will *become* fluids before the scale is large enough that they might behave as a fluid.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Or become a star, which is a whole different thing.

More importantly they are both being move by air currents.

What's the both here?

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The both is waves and clouds.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I thought waves primarily were caused by lunar pull?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Tides.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No, without wind there is no movement it would be flat. Wind also has the same effect on sand.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

What are you saying no to? Who brought up sand? I was asking what the both were that wind had an effect on? Are you saying clouds and sand?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Think the person meant the clouds are being moved by the wind and wind is what makes waves.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Waves and clouds.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Isn't lunar pull the primary driver of waves though?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

But I think wind, too, has a role to play in the formation of waves.

I... I was just answering their question.
