And CW ruined it

if there was a CW bingo card (now rtb or spikey to make this and get 7+ likes, as they should, because if they do it it'll be funny and incisive tbh) you would have at least, like, four bingo's from the last page and a half, ffs come on guys this is cookie cutter from all of you

Was watching a Brian Cox video about time dilatation on Utoob and this came up

Let us say that we catapult Jim off at 99.94% of the speed of light for five years, according to his watch. Then, we tell Jim to turn around and come back. It takes another five years to get back to the Earth, so for him the journey would take ten years. But for us, with our watches ticking faster than Jim's, 29 years would have passed

This reminds me of the movie Interstellar...in the water world..."every tick on that planet is a day on Earth"

Yeah true but what caught my attention, as you must have guessed, is the bolded part. I can't think of it as anything other than a homage to the iconic number. He is British so must be familiar with it

That is the coolest part of the movie. And the giant wave that they think is a mountain, and they figure out that the guy they went their to find would have only died like minutes ago. Gives me goosebumps

 

[mr_mister]

That movies boring

 

[Gob]

Not for smart people

Give me Apollo 13 anyday

The message I got from that scene was truly the "love transcends time and space"

Brand had all hopes to meet up with her love on this planet, but it came crashing down on them like those "mountains".

Hans Zimmer really carried that scene, along with CASE...

That movie felt like it ran on for days to me too.

Hell but it's just you being forced to watch all 967 of Imran Tahirs Marathon celebration for eternity.

Aw, Jeets. I wish he'd done more on the international stage.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Imagine the callus on Jeets' spinning finger after bowling that many overs

 

[Burgey]

Lot of overs

 

[Daemon]

Lot of overs

Ok

 

[Burgey]

Many, many overs

Yet another thing they've stolen from CW?

How does AB de Villiers boss the IPL at 37, despite playing no other top-level cricket?

The greatest athletes are playing on longer in many sports. de Villiers is doing it in cricket (and so is James Anderson)

Kimber on AB... ????

Now think about peak de Villiers. Perhaps Steven Smith, Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Kane Williamson went past him as great batters. But at least part of that was because of de Villiers retiring from, or barely playing, international cricket. At his best, as great as the others were, there was probably no other player who was in position to play a ball as early as him. de Villiers slows the game down to his speed. In Centurion, when Mitchell Johnson was destroying South Africa, de Villiers was playing him like he was Boris, not Mitchell.
