In fact, it is entirely composed of rays and beams of light, made distinguishable by the particular phenomenon I was interested in, “crepuscular rays,” which usually occur at sunset brought on by shadows from clouds. The opening to the cave functions as the shadow-producing element in this case.

It’s true that I set out to make a design that was not “about” physics. I did not want a reference to the field itself, physicists, or other aspects that would create a self-referential meaning. I wanted something that would demonstrate physics in the natural world, something that physicists would study, but that wouldn’t be a model, a symbol, or something only found in a lab. Only a comparative few shirts in the derby are “about” physics (like the Phive Physibots, Cold Fusion, Retro Physics, e.g.), the rest feature something physical that physicists would study. Mine is no different. Thanks again for your feedback.

The shirt is beautiful, and it makes as much or more sense than any of the other shirts in this derby. With physics being such a broad sweeping and poorly understood discipline, almost nothing that is actually related to real physics is considered "physics" by the general public.

I personally think its a great shirt and hope it gets printed, although with some of the shirts that are more aimed at this particular group of buyers, I am concerned that it wont. So it goes. Good luck in the future!

The one on the left is demonstrating the pulleys for a future snack heist :D.

Re: Pulleys

This is one of those rare times I'd like the old 4-in-the-fog format to watch how this does. It should be close.

I like the design, don't get me wrong but "as much or more sense than any of the other shirts in this derby" is just untrue. I don't want to get in a big debate or argument about how related this shirt might be to physics, but there are certainly shirts which are more related to physics than this. The two Schrodinger's cat shirts, for one, and the quarks shirt for another.

Re: Nuclear Physics

awesome. I really like the newton reference. definitely the best in the fog right now. i think it'd make a great poster too.

nice work anyway.

I'm confused...you quoted me. Was this comment then directed at me? D: Why am I not allowed to like a glowing jar? It's definitely different than anything else I've seen on woot in a while...

I <3 jars! \^_^/

Don't buy it then.

smirksy wrote:Was waiting for something like this. Physics geeks and musical theatre geeks should hang out more.

Would possibly like it more without the fence and ground portion. I think it would be a tighter design.

I agree with smirksy. Also, the head is awkward. Just need a ponytail with the hat covering her face?

Congratulations. Were you expecting a gold star or something?...

I thought the explanation was fine.

Re: Happy Physics

Hah, sweet. I love the design poppin out of his head.

I wish you would have tried to blend good ol frankenstein into the shirt more though.

Re: Physics of a Falling Cat (resub)

The tail looks just a little too long for the size of the cat, at least in the last frame of the "animation". Still a great shirt though, GMV.

Re: Phive Phamous Physibots

I really love this shirt, i had voted for some other shirts but when i saw this one i voted for this one and took my other votes back. I WANT THIS SHIRT!!

I do love your works com, they typically give me a much needed guilty laugh when I'm at work and stressed.

But I gotta admit, most of them aren't wearable for me. This one I could see myself wearing if not for the color. I'm with Amy, I refuse to ever wear a creme colored shirt regardless of how epic the print is.

This. If the "Static Electrikitty" wins and the "Phive Phamous Physicists" doesn't, I'm going to scream.

Now I just want to know how to get a version of the shirt with the animation happening...

LOL. Excessive fuzziness could definitely mask the curve:D
I was going to say 'maybe one day' to the shirt with an animation, but then I saw below!

Jw... do you feed your cat? :-D

Hehe. The question is... what do they feed this cat?

midnight0000 wrote:I like the idea but somehow the fact that the cat is yellow bothers me

Hmm well thanks... the color is actually not supposed to be yellow, but an orangey color. Kind of like this guy/gal.

Good job jasneko

Here's hoping!=)
Thanks mitchellp!

optimusjimbo wrote:so black and white count as colors then...okay.......... thud thud thud

In this case, yes, because woot has to use those inks.

specsmachine wrote:Check your private messages.

Would it be possible to get it as well?


Awesome shirt! I will be buying this one for sure. Also not digging the yellow, but I can see why it was chosen and think it fits it well.

THANK YOU! That makes me so happy and fuzzy inside. :3 I hate serious shirts. )<

Aw darnit. Maybe you can reconsider? ): I will admit cream isn't my favorite color either, but it looked best with the design. @___@

Thank you for the compliments and criticism though, I'll have to work on my shirt designs in the futre's wear-abilities! :D

Re: Mass X Acceleration

Love the elephant pile. Very nice Lucky!

Re: DOUBLE RAINBOW PHYSICS ALL THE WAY!

Topical, but few will know what the hell it means. I love it!

I'm glad someone does. Thats all that matters! ^ -^

Re: Nuclear Physics

I especially like the M14, it's very detailed.

Re: Mr. Physics

Unless you own the rights to this photo, woot can reject your two entries.

Re: Pulleys

Haha, I like this. I don't usually go for cutesy designs, but this one's really interesting.

Re: Orbital Hoopla

I love this design!! It's cute and fun while being a little intellectual at the same time +1!

Re: Cold Fusion

mmmmmm....cold fusion.... elisabeth shue was so hot in that movie....

Re: Cold Fusion

Wow, this piece really shows off both of your versatility as artists. This is an extremely striking piece of work, and your collabs just keep getting better! Congrats to both of you on an extremely successful derby!! +1

Lagbert wrote:Planck's Constant

The plank doesn't change no matter what time it is. Therefore the plank's constant *ba-dump-ching*

The clock faces read 7:02, 6:06, and 9:36. The first 9 digits of Planck's Constant are 6.62606896

6.62 -> 6:62 -> 7:02
606 -> 6:06
896 -> 8:96 -> 9:36

Hope you guys and gals get a kick out of it.

You could have put MS Paint rectangles as boards and I still would have voted solely because of the hidden constant in the clocks...

Re: KEEP PLUTO A PLANET.

"Science" did not vote out Pluto. Pluto IS still a planet. Only four percent of the IAU voted on this, and most are not planetary scientists. Their decision was immediately opposed in a formal petition by hundreds of professional astronomers led by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto. Stern and like-minded scientists favor a broader planet definition that includes any non-self-luminous spheroidal body in orbit around a star. The spherical part is important because objects become spherical when they attain a state known as hydrostatic equilibrium, meaning they are large enough for their own gravity to pull them into a round shape. This is a characteristic of planets and not of shapeless asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects. Pluto meets this criterion and is therefore a planet. Under this definition, our solar system has 13 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

It's a little hard to make out that the image is from within a particle accelerator. Either way, better than anything I could come up with.

Re: Quantum Confinement

I guess your PhD wasn't in reading directions.

Re: Monster Trap

I really like this! I love the horn to chicken to falling egg part the best, lol

optimusjimbo wrote:so black and white count as colors then...okay.......... thud thud thud

FYI, that box is there because it's the dimension in which your design must fit. It can't be over the edges at all because woot can't print designs any larger than that.

Which color did you mean for this to go on? If it's heather gray, there's a special template for that which you must use. Also, your thumbnail must appear to be on the same color as the shirt design. Currently, your thumbnail has a white background but your shirt isn't on white.

I hope you don't feel I'm picking on you, I'm just trying to let you know where you made a couple errors so you know for future derbies.

Re: Escaping gravity

This shirt is really attractive in a lot of ways, but I don't know if it will print. :-\
