YarnsOfInk: About the misuse of "May the odds be ever in your favor.":

I’m tired of people thinking “May the odds be ever in your favor” is for some reason a synonym for “Good luck.”

Everywhere I look, whether it’s Twitter, Facebook, or just everyday life with Hunger Games fans flying all around me, I keep hearing that particular phrase. Let me tell you now: it…

DEAR WORLD, Internet service providers will begin spying on you!

This is not just the USA, this is also Europe, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and more.

ACTA is another attempt by Hollywood and others to end privacy and freedom to protect their profits.

These well done videos provide an overview:

We got to stop this!

Poland is planning protests.

Europe, contact your representatives.

UK, sign this petition.

USA, reblog this post. Make new posts. Join the EFF. Stay involved.

They won’t give up, and neither will we.

I’m going to keep spamming ACTA posts. It’s just so important. I can’t even…

BECAUSE I HAVE NO LIFE AND THIS IS REALLY BOTHERING ME…

The prevailing theory on Tumblr on how Sherlock survived the fall was that he managed to land in a laundry truck.

Benedict Cumberbatch is 1.84 meters tall and by using his body you can measure how far from the building he would have had to jump to make it into the truck. Roughly 7.32 meters.

Sherlock is standing on the Pathological Department of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. Google Street View shows what appears to be Routemaster double-decker buses which are 4.38 meters tall. The building therefore is roughly 14.6 meters.

You can use Pythagoras’ theorem to calculate the distance which is 16.33 meters. FYI: The World Record for men’s long jump is 8.95 meters and that was done with a running start. Sherlock flopped over the edge with no horizontal directional speed. I don’t think it’s possible for the laundry truck theory.

EDIT: how much time he had to “steer” towards the truck while falling.

Time = √ 2(height)/gravity
Time = √ 2(14.6m)/9.8 m/s²
Time = √ 29.2m/9.8 m/s²
Time = √ 2.98 m/s²
Time = 1.73 seconds

Sherlock was falling for 1.73 seconds.

Question: Can you jump off a 14.6 meter building and land in a truck full of laundry 7.23 meters away in 1.73 seconds?

HOLY SHIT MATH AND PHYSICS

THIS IS LEGIT BECAUSE THEY USED MATHEMATICS

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID

I am so bad at math but I appreciate it. This is QUALITY and jeez even visual aids YES THIS IS HOW I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED GEOMETRY

Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but this is not quite right.

People don’t fall in straight lines, they fall in parabolas. So Pythagoras has nothing to do with this. What we need is projectile motion physics.

The dark red is the path he would actually take.

So using these figures it still takes 1.73 seconds to fall vertically 14.6m with an acceleration of 9.8 ms-1.

But travelling horizontally there is no acceleration or deceleration. To travel the 7.32m to the truck Sherlock would only have to take off from the roof at 4.23 ms-1. (Because of air resistance he may have fallen slower and taken a longer time therefore this number may be even lower). Average human walking speed is between 4 to 6 ms-1 (I couldn’t find an exact number) so for Sherlock to have reached the truck in that time he would only have to step off. By falling the way he did it looks like he didn’t push off but there is actually a lot more horizontal velocity than if he had just stepped so he could actually reach the truck.

Also this explains why Sherlock chose such a tall building. If the height wasn’t as large he couldn’t have made it that distance to the truck.

tl;dr: Sherlock could have made it to the truck without any particular effort. The truck theory is still viable.

I’m going to regret jumping on this, but the Parabola theory above is the correct one. You don’t fall in a straight line like what the original theory said.

That said, in order to make 7.32m of horizontal displacement, you need 4.23m/s of horizontal speed, which is NOT walking speed. According to Wikipedia (on Walking), average human walking speed is 3.1mph, or 1.4m/s. 4.23m/s amounts to about 9.5mph, which is a running speed. If you don’t believe me, get on a treadmill and set the “speed” to 9.5. I guarantee you’ll be running like hell.

Taking into account air resistance and all that shit, I’d imagine he’d be pretty lucky to be able to land on the truck. But even if he was that lucky, landing on the back of that truck will really break some shit. There has to be a more elegant solution to this, although it was really really suspicious that the truck just drove by after a person jumped off the building and landed next to it.

I’m more intrigued by this:

The truck went missing in one scene. Then it reappeared and drove away, but in the following cut, the truck was back to where it was when it first started.

Maybe it was just badly edited. But maybe…

Now THIS is some CSI shit I can actually follow and care about! XD ::makes popcorn::

holy god somewhere my physics and maths teachers are simultaneously crying and drowning their sorrows

Clearly the only thing we have to do now is test the hypothesis by sending it to Mythbusters.

And then afterwards they can blow the laundry truck up. FOR SCIENCE!

I think e1n hit it on the head about the truck disappearing and reappearing. They probably filmed Sherlock’s jump first, then Watson’s reaction later and in between it, the truck was simply moved because it wasn’t needed anymore. It’s a fairly common production error, I believe.

And anyone who thinks a person falls straight down has clearly not watch enough action movies. Lethal Weapon 2, there’s a scene where Mel Gibson’s and Joe Pesci’s characters go flying out of a hotel window and land in a pool several stories below. If they had fallen straight down, they would have landed on the concrete around the pool.

I need to watch Sherlock.

I love it when discussions like this happen on tumblr xD

This is actually the greatest thing.

My mind: *asplode*
MATHS? ON TUMBLR? WHOA. I can’t keep up.

Alright people, we need to concern ourselves with ACTA:

harbek:

Five facts:

1. ACTA isn’t the “European” SOPA. It’s nearly GLOBAL, and will apply to every country that signs the treaty.

2. ACTA is far more aggressive. ACTA will not simply affect websites and have them blocked out of the internet - its measures go as far as surveillance of…

While it has a huge amount of countries, it seems to have evaded Norway because we’re not in the EU. I’m very grateful for this, but still, oh god.

marciantobay:

Okay, as promised, the big clue in Reichenbach Fall to which Moffat alluded.

It’s there. Look at it. Rather, don’t look at it because it’s not there. Do you see?

Suicide. Suicide! That proves tha-… you don’t see it, do you? Okay, let’s back up.

This is The Sun. The media’s been hounding Holmes for a while now. Moriarty set up a story where Sherlock would be shamed, humiliated and killed. True to this plan, Sherlock commits “suicide”. But here’s the thing. He commits suicide on the same roof on which Moriarty killed himself. To any basic person walking onto the scene, they would see the body of Holmes and the shot body of Richard Brook, his hired actor.

Read the headline again. Suicide of Fake Genius. Not “Murder-suicide”. Not “Holmes kills Brook and then self”. Nothing. No reference to a second dead body. Not one. Why would they skip that? Why would they skip the chance to say Sherlock and his unwilling cohort died on the same roof at the same time?

Think back to Watson, to Hudson, and to everyone else. No one mentions Moriarty. None of them know at all. No one talking about Moriarty, no one discussing it, nothing. There’s only one logical conclusion here: No one knows he’s dead. Why would no one know he’s dead? Because he wasn’t there. Why would there be no body? Because it was moved.

Barring the idea that a henchperson carried away his body, Moriarty is still alive.

The missing clue isn’t how Sherlock lived. It’s that they both lived. See you in Series 3.
