Aw, come on! A post that contains a line like that HAS to be awesome!
It's from Gravity and Levity, on forces that don't equal mass times acceleration in the classical physics world.
“Imagine that you are driving a rocket-powered sled around the inside of a frictionless cone of ice.”

I actually clicked through on that. Having never had physics and not being super great at higher maths, I understood what must be a fairly miniscule fraction of that. But what I did understand was really cool. I think that’s one of the underestimated gifts of reading other people’s blogs, occasionally you get glimpses of beauty in things that a) you ordinarily never think about and b) which are way beyond your ken. Thanks!
