A couple of rednecks discuss...
PERPETUAL MOTION
"Like when you fall down a bottomless pit?"
"Kinda, but it's more like when you put two ice cubes next to each other, and they'll never melt because they'll just keep each other cold forever."
"What if you put two ice cubes next to each other and dropped them down a bottomless pit?"
"Well they'd drift apart and melt, unless you glued them, but then they wouldn't really be touching."
"Oh, right."
LEAP YEARS
"Shit dude, I like having an extra day, why can't we have them every year?"
"Well there's a reason you only have the once every four years."
"Why?"
"It's like chocolate. If you have it too often you get too used to eat, then you need to eat more. Then we've got years that like right years."
"Wouldn't we live longer then?"
"...I think you're right."
THE TIDES
"So, like, sometimes the ocean water is high, but sometimes it's low."
"Cause why?"
"Cause the moon is like a magnet and it attracts the water."
"I thought magnets only attracted metal."
"Water's a type of metal."
"Oh, cool."
"Also it's one of the noble gasses."
KARMA
"So the whole idea is people will do good, because good will happen to them?"
"Yeah, and if you do bad, you get bad stuff right back."
"Who decides who gets what though?"
"No one decides, no one votes, it's just decided, like, automatically."
"Like midterm House elections?"
"Like most elections."
THE WATER CYCLE
"So, like, water dies, right?"
"Right."
"Then decomposers break it down into organic matter."
"Yeah, decomposers are very important in nature."
"Definitely. Then it rains water seeds, and when the water seeds mix up with the decomposed water, lakes grow."
EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY
"Einstein's theory of relativity is really complicated, and it can be almost impossible to understand what it means."
"That's E=MC2, right? What does it mean?"
"When you go really fast, time goes slower..."
"...Because you get there earlier!"
"You're catching on, buddy!"
"Thanks, and if you were to go faster than the speed of light..."
"..."
"..and you were in a MONSTER TRUCK."
"You...YOU COULD SMASH CARS BEFORE THEY WERE EVER BUILT OH MY GOD."
BLACK HOLES
"A black hole is this thing in space where light falls."
"Light falls?"
"Yeah, space is like a bathtub, and you fill it with light, and black holes are where the light drains out."
"Where does the light go?"
"It goes back into space as lightvapor, and when it condensates, that's how a sun is formed."
"So then suns are really clouds of light?"
"Yes, and then they rain sunshine."
