Snowy days really are quieter (thanks to physics)

How does ISO work – what is the sensor physics behind it? I mean, I know very well how to work with it – the exposure triangle & all – what want to understand is how it physically works, at the level of the sensor. How is the sensor able to increase its sensitivity to light? This video I recently checked out said that the amount of noise in a photo shot in low light with low ISO (exposure brought up in…

Physics for Toddlers The Amelia Uncertainty Principle. As confidence in your toddler’s current shoe size increases, consistency in sizing across shoe manufacturers decreases. Alder’s Observation. A toddler in motion remains in motion. A toddler at rest will pee on itself. The Third Law of Theo Dynamics. If an object exceeds the temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit,…

Physics Book Would any of you guys have any recommendations for Physics books on how lenses work. I have a hobbyists interest in the math behind how lenses, so any recommendations would be great. Bonus points if its somewhat accessible, my maths isn’t terrible but it’s been awhile since I’ve had to do Applied maths in school haha! submitted by /u/Pabl…

Discussion: Shows with silly levels of real-world physics violations. Hey, this stems from a hilarious roadtrip with some buds my age where we got to laughing about older television series that really had silly physics in them as part of the plot service. We were talking about shows where the setting is 100% supposed to be in “OUR world”, not some sort of superhero or fantasy world where unexplained or unrealized …
