    Then the distance must be almost zero, as it exhibits no drop over that range.

      That might have something to do with this being a chart for powered missiles.

        However, the comment was talking about arrows…

          I’m over here with some popcorn as nerds debate the project motion of a hypersonic missile named “arrow” and shit.

          Go with a fantasy arrow made of light, for the last one.

        The diagram is about normal unpowered shells. They use different amounts of propellant to achieve different projectile speeds

          Y’know, I think you’re right. That gray bit looks like the tank barrel. I mistook that as part of the projectile path, and I misinterpreted the overall design as a missile battery.

        Are we looking at the same image? DO I NEED TO GET A RULER?

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
