There are enough votes in the House to kill FISA unless the SAVE America Act is attached to it. @LeaderJohnThune do the right thing.

The value of extreme precision

 

Math Files

@Math_files 10h

In 1798, a scientist effectively โ€œweighedโ€ the Earth โ€” without leaving his laboratory.

The English scientist Henry Cavendish designed an incredibly sensitive experiment.

Inside a quiet wooden shed, he hung a horizontal rod from a very thin wire. Two small lead spheres were attached to the ends of the rod.

Nearby, he placed two much larger lead balls.

Because of gravity, the large spheres slightly pulled the smaller ones. The force was extremely tiny โ€” so small that the rod twisted by only a minute fraction of a degree.

Yet that tiny twist held a big secret.

By carefully measuring this small movement, Cavendish determined the strength of the gravitational attraction between objects.

From this, scientists could calculate the mass of the entire Earth.

His estimate was remarkably close.

Cavendish calculated Earthโ€™s mass to be about 6 ร— 10ยฒโด kilograms, while modern measurements give 5.97 ร— 10ยฒโด kilograms.

Sometimes the biggest discoveries come from measuring the smallest forces.
