An Open Letter to the Great Guys and Gal at Mythbusters

This blog post, the first of, hopefully many other future posts, is about an episode of Mythbusters entitled Mythssion Control. As per usual in Mythbuster episodes, there were a lot of collisions, Buster getting his socks knocked off, and more. However, Jamie, in this episode, said that he made a mistake. I believe he did not.

The purpose of this open letter is to make a case for my counter claim and prove that Jamie was correct to start with.

However, I cannot make the equations play nice in browsers other than in Google Chrome, so I will just post a link here for the document.

Hope you enjoy reading along. And hope you enjoy Mythbusters as much as I do. :)

  1. Nicely done :). I'm suddenly remembering all those highschool physics classes. I think there's a LaTeX plugin for some blogging platforms (might be useful for the equations)

  2. Thanks. I don't wanna complicate things any more than I have to... I thought about LaTeX-ing the equations, but I don't want to upload the individual equations (in png form) anymore. I just typed everything in google docs, so I thought that the equations would be universal... It turned out that that wasn't true.
