M.I.A.

Ah, Missing In Action. Haven't had much time to update this space, and more importantly haven't got much to fill this blog with.

One of the most exciting thing that's happened? My new toy!!! Hurrahs!



Today fellow physicists were having an intellectual discussion in the office about tricky questions in *duh* physics. Think about this:

1. Imagine a housefly flying about in a sealed jar of air, which is on a weighing scale. The housefly then lands on the bottom of the jar for a rest. Does the reading on the weighing scale change?

2. After a while, the housefly propels itself up. Does it affect the reading?

3. What if the jar is not sealed but open? Will that make a difference in the above answers?


Muahahaha... Don't ask me! I have not figured these out for myself yet!
