... The most important tool you have to see the universe is not the large light buckets that are proliferating, but rather your eyes. ... Light enters the eye through the cornea, passes across the aqueous humor (the liquid behind the cornea), passes through the pupil and through the lens. ... After passing the lens, the light then crosses the "vitreous Humor" a jelly-like substance that fills the inner eye, and reaches the retina, the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. ...

... Some wonder if smaller wheels have less inertia and therefore give greater acceleration, while others believe that the smaller wheel has to spin faster, so it is a wash. ... The kinetic energy in the wheel is a measure of how much energy you've spent just getting the wheel to spin rather than investing that energy into the road. ... Larger wheels have less rolling resistance, for several reasons. ... So how much difference does the lower inertia of smaller wheels really make? ...
