Hello Friend! The most interesting thing I've learned recently is how cortisol affects the human body. Biochem problems haha.
I learned in my biomechanics class what makes a coin flip so random
That's cool! So what makes it flip?? Physics?
Yeah, I can't remember the details, but due to the principle moments of inertia, the largest is the most unstable, which makes the flip around the normal axis random
That makes sense. You just have to get it started with the initial flip and then it will keep going assuming no air resistance. Gotta love physics.
Yeah, kind of cool. What is cortisol? ??
That helps regulate stress but if you have too much of it and can cause damage to your body It's a hormone
So what happens when you get too much?
