Earlier this year, a flat-Earther launched a ballistic rocket to observe Earth from altitude. If it were indeed flat and shaped like a frisbee, what would his ballistic path look like if he launched near the disc edge and aimed towards the edge? Would it be a parabolic arc or something else?
I like hard-boiled eggs. When I peel one, the shell and underlying membrane sometimes separate cleanly from the albumen, leaving a perfectly smooth white egg. At other times the shell, membrane and first layer of the albumen all stick together and are impossible to separate, so I end up with a pitted mess. Why the difference? Is it something to do with the egg itself, the way I cook it, or the way I leave it to cool afterwards?
