Premise:
After realising I don’t have university until next year and that my job is basically the most casual part time job of all time, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have a lot of free time on my hands. Instead of spending it learning the violin or some other random skill (work in progress), I’ve decided to lean into something I actually love a lot. Physics. I even debated choosing physics instead of data science for uni.
So, I want to spend that time doing something useful, running small scale experiments that could actually benefit the wiki, mainly focused on physics (though a bit of chemistry never hurt anyone). For example, if someone wanted to know how to calculate the force of a balloon popping, I’d set up a controlled test for that. (Not that exact one, since it’s literally irrelevant, but you get the idea.)
Ground Rules:
Budget per experiment (starting out): $0 - $100.
Every experiment must either (1) benefit the wiki's calculation standards or methodology, or (2) be interesting enough to grab my attention.
No illegal experiments. I can't use fireworks or anything.
Ah, and my work comes first, so if I get a lot of jobs randomly, I will prioritise them.
