Scale weight - thru the coffee table!

You guys are giving me a headache!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, muzzleflash, in our full-scale world, what you said about the cars landing at the same time (if dropped from the same height) obviously is true. As I said, that's physics in our real world.
But as Claymore68 noticed, for a scale model "to visually appear" to be obeying it's "scale" laws of physics, we have to slow down our full-scale time to correspond to "scale" time, or that 1/100 car will look like a toy plopping off the couch if you observe it in "real scale." Which of course, is what it is.

So, it's all relative! And visual!
In that case, is it relevant to even consider scale weight? It sure is interesting!

What if...C-A-T really spelled dog?

I think this conversation has almost reached the point of rediscovering the Improbability Drive. All we need now is a fresh steaming cup of tea, and maybe a box of Krispy Kreams.

Wow. That's deep, Ogre. Dog.

I make one little statement and see what happens?

Anyone out there want to dispute the validity of Chaos Theory ( which has exemplified been so well here )? Now you know why I chose my "signature quote."


I couldn't even find my way back to "normal" with the Hubble!

QUOTE: Originally posted by muzzleflash88 Can't scale time either. So you can scale wing size down to a model, but time cannot be scaled. Good topic though, and the rooster booster is fine as long as you THAW the birds first :P

Don't know about that one. I used to go out with a girl who insisted on watching the daily soaps. I swear the space-time continuum was against me on that one.

Personally, I think that Chaos Theory and Fuzzy Logic found each other in the Garden of Eden and procreated this whole evolutionary thing called Life. The question in my mind now is: which is Adam, and which is Eve?

LMAO!!!

I love those movies!!

all i did was finish work at 6 am this morning put on the computer and read this thread ....NOW ME GOT BIG HEADACHE.LoL..BTW that scaled car has to have scale weight and ballance to fall like the real car, which don't worry me much as long as i ain't at the bottom of the cliff!!!. plus do Kenf**ky Tied chicken have that rooster booster on the menu ? also how can the last five minutes at work last half an hour cos it sure feels like it can to me, LoL
why be normal???
what is normal??
if i am what is normal would you want to be?
now my brain really hurts..see y'all..Greg

OK, we've included basic physics, quantum and relativity theory, and favorite movies. Time to open up a can of silly snakes and bring up psychology!

My wife has an MA in clinical psychology and mentioned early on in our relationship that, psychologically speaking, there's no "true normal." There's no such thing as a "completely sane" person because EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET has some ( not just one, but multiple ) neuroses, even if they're mild.

Just remember that some of the people who think we modellers have maturity issues or are overly obsessive when making sure we have the right FS color are sometimes the same people who start riots at their kid's peewee football game.

I guess I wasn't acting too far off when a friend of mine and I demonstrated psych disorders from the DSM-IIIR for my ex-girlfriend. She was a forensic psychologist.

As a wise man once said, "There is a very fine line between sanity and insanity. I have succesfully erased that line."

Just imagined a rooster booster being used at a KFC.

Now THAT'S entertainment!
