And, by association, F = m*V^2 The risk of serious injury in an accident increases exponentially with speed. This is especially true for pedestrian victims.
You probably mean E = 1/2 m v^2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy#Kinetic_energy_...
The most relevant concepts are probably impulse [1] and inelastic collision [2].
v = dx/dt If you are driving 5 miles across town (dx), and you average 25 mph (v), it will take you roughly 5/25 hours, or 12 minutes (dt) to get there. By driving 50 miles per hour, you get there in 6 minutes. Is it worth the risk to yourself and others (bikers and pedestrians) to save 6 minutes? If you are driving to work and it normally takes you 30 minutes to get there by going 60 mph (30 miles), then if you go 8…
Dangerous driving will eventually introduce one to another familiar, but much more devastating, concept: a = dv /dt.

In more practical terms, yes you absolutely should trust scientists, and it's important to know the difference between an "appeal to authority fallacy" and "deferral to expertise". https://thelogicofscience.com/2015/03/20/the-rules-of-logic-...
1.)Quantum entanglement, to instill a sense of appreciation for the unknown. 2.)Astrology, to grant an understanding of the language of archetypes.
Instead of reading, reacting, or engaging with any of those ideas, people are just directly responding to the headline as though this is an ask HN thread. I'm not sure that that's what was intended here?
I would love to hear people talk about this "genetic book of the dead" idea. For instance, the terrifying drowning reflex that people have, there must have been scenarios in our evolutionary past where that happened often enough that this mutation came in handy, which is haunting to think about. I would love for this thread to be a discussion of the ideas presented in the article.
How computer works from logic gates and up. (I think it was in the article under boolean logic) This one actually requires high school math to understand, but not that much. Knowledge is power and tech is everywhere in our life and society. Democracy as we know it can't continue to exist if the power is in the minds of a few technocrats.

Time is one thing. Going fast is also just plain fun.
