Ponies Explain Physics

That's it, blog's over, I'm going to go solve the secrets of the universe and do actual IMPORTANT stuff.   Suddenly Physics is fun!

Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the genius explanations from these amazing ponies, so maybe I'll use my new found quantum knowledge to work on a portal to equestria?  This undertaking is going to require a team.  After the break is your homework.  Go watch it and meet me in Switzerland. we are taking over CERN.

Pony physics rocks :)

Beaster said...

Second? No. Prolly not.

GoldenArbiter said...

So...... Physics. Who knew?

wackyteen said...

physics and ponies don't mix.

Kaijyuu said...

Twilight Sparkle should TOTALLY have a standalone edutainment show.

She'd repalce Mr. Roger's as "best edutainment show host" so fast! ... Ok she'd come in close second.

Tanner G said...

Twilight Sparkle edutainment = my favorite thing in the world.

Octavia said...

Physics... in my cartoon about colorful little ponies?

It's more likely than you think!

Zenhoof the Wise said...

Now onwards to uncovering the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (via ponies)

Jolttix said...

I dislike the cupcakes refrence in it.

Tamar said...

Sethisto, you made me crap myself when you said blog's over.

Nilsareth said...

pinkie doesn't follow the laws of physics because she doesn't understand them, therefore they're irrelevant

Masquerade said...

@Sethisto
Good luck and godspeed.

Brainstorm said...

These ponies... sound exactly like the voice actress(es?) from the Phoenix Wright parody. o_O

Jocuro said...

Pinkie trying to explain Physics is like Han Solo trying to explain the odds of of successfully navigating an asteroid field. It doesn't work!

"Never tell me the odds."

Cameron Strathdee said...

I agree with Kaijyuu. I'd watch the hell out of Twilight Sparkle The Science Pony.

DashAttack said...

Now you're thinking with ponies!

Mike said...

As my physics teacher says, YAY PHYSICS!!!

I'm inspired to try and make the ponies explain differential calculus now... or maybe next summer when I'm less busy.

XBlueBlastxX said...

I just learned this 3 days ago in my physics class!

Xeddrief said...

As a Physics with Planetary and Space Physics Uni Student, I approve of this.

Flub said...

Dear christ, this is what mt CP Physics class JUST finished going over the finer points of Newton's laws YESTERDAY. hooray for pony review time!

Flub said...

oh the typos! My College Prep Physics class just finished going over the finer points of Newton's 3 laws yesterday, so pony review time = ME GUSTA

SgtGarand said...

I wasn't convinced of Pinkie's voice, but I watched anyways.

So...according to the 3rd law, Rainbow Dash should be dead. lol But then again, I guess she really is the Iron Pony.

Cloudynights said...

Implying Ponies aren't important! The chart here clearly shows that Ponies ARE the most important thing in the universe.
Ponies
Ponies with other Ponies
Ponies dancing
Ponies wearing Socks
Everything Else

Scary Scott said...

Pinkie said cupcakes, and I figuratively crapped my pants...

Greenf0x said...

So cute and smart, oohh i love this, more more more more.

Polaris said...

Pinkie and physics together. Nope, physically impossible.

HALOGUNNYSGT said...

Hey, if you need a guinea pi... test subjec.... help seeing if the portal works, I'm your man.

Embernikov said...

there are two baryons, one of them says "i think one of my down quarks is different today" and the other replies "well that's strange."
also, i'm actually going to CERN next year, and it's gunna be SO AWESOME.

Xeddrief said...

@Embernikov Two helium atoms are walking down the street. One of them gasps and says "I think I just lost an electron!"

"Are you sure?" Said the other in concern.

"I'm positive!"

Starbrite said...

Huzzah! The Scientific fun has been doubled!

Faith said...

Physics just got 20% cooler.

Kizi said...

Moar... MOAR!!!!

Trot Fairweather said...

If everything was taught by ponies i'd be a genius!

MrDiscord said...

These ponies can do anything! learning on the internet, I never thought I could do that!

Mike said...

@Xeddrief
Do you know Mr. Naumann?

Senior Waffles said...

Genius! Plus, your voices were quite fitting. Now I can count to physics!

Bartekko said...

Am I the only one unimpressed? I mean: these are the basics we had one year ago in secondary school, nothing learned. good effort put into it. Will love when you start explaining feynmann's like that tho

Mitchell Bonds said...

Can't get through it. The voices are irritating. and the mic quality is poor.

Amusing concept, but with a little better mic work, less breath and static pops, maybe I could listen to it.

Forderz said...

Oh pysics 20 you so easy.

needs some better editing to be amazing.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

lol human bronies r gonna flood Equestria w/ the best intentions and wind up wrecking the place

I mean really, imagine the CRAP Rainbow Dash would have to put up with. "Uh, sorry guys...but I like Applejack as a friend." "OMFG, SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH DASHIE!!!" "...that's another thing, can you *please* stop calling me that? I don't know any of you..."

It'd be like Avatar...if all the RDA employees owned Na'vi plushies.

Abjuron said...

I'd love to see some quantum mechanics lessons like this. For example...

Schrödinger's Ranbow Dash: Until you open the door to Pinkie Pie's basement, Rainbow Dash is both alive AND dead.

scienceandponies said...

@Embernikov

"On the up side, I'm more charming now."

As brony about to become a physics teacher, this all makes me very happy.

P.Slater said...

I want to see "Imaging the 10th dimension" explained by ponies.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

@Abjuron

XD

*stands and applauds*

Well done, good sir.

TheRike42 said...

@Zenhoof the Wise The answer is 42 seasons of pony.

Soggy_Doggy said...

NOOOOOO

No more Physics puns, although the strange one was kinda funny...

Wayoshi said...

Not enough Fluttershy :(

Ruxin12 said...

*looks down at phone*
"Hey! Don't play on your phone!"
...wat

Viola said...

If she is going to be talking about physics at least do it right, by at least sounding official and pronouncing things right. So that the people listening can understand what she is saying. I had to turn it off 10 seconds into the video.

EngineerBrony said...

I need one of these for Calculus.

EngineerBrony said...

Also, it's a good thing Twilight didn't try to explain the law of gravity to Pinkie Pie...

Nittany Tiger said...

Wait. Something is wrong with your explanation of the second law with respect to the problem of Applejack jumping on the lever (see-saw). When she falls, the only accelerating acting on her is acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s^2). This acceleration is independent of the mass of the object.

Now if AJ was more massive, she would exert more force for an equivalent acceleration (which, neglecting air resistance, is the case). This is due to F=ma being in play. Therefore, a more mass AJ would exert more force on the see-saw, not less. This would result in RD flying farther.

In short, you incorrectly assumed that AJ's mass changed her acceleration which resulting in an incorrect conclusion about AJ's force on the see-saw changing.

Also, I've never heard of the first law being referred to as the Law of Inertia. In fact, inertia is a completely different physical property of matter. It does make sense to call the first law the Law of Inertia since it vaguely captures the concept of inertia. Unfortunately, I can't recall a relation between inertia and force.

@Zenhoof the Wise

We may not know the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything...

But we do know that Twilight Sparkle is the answer. Why else do you think Celestia has invested so much into her!

richfiles said...

^^^ Speaking of... I'm all tired as hay... I'm gonna go crawl under the covers with my very own Twilight Sparkle. Turns out, she's also the answer to a peaceful night of slumber! LOL!
