We took a trip to Mitad del Mundo = the Middle of the World yesterday. It was amazing. Water goes straight down instead of swirling, you cannot walk in a straight line, and you can balance an egg on a nail when you're on the equator. There's also more force acting on you so you cannot resist other forces as well.
We were late to class, so we called and cancellled, and then went to the Andes mountains. We took the telecabin up and met an engineer who works on medical imaging in our telecabin.
you really couldn't walk in a straight line?
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't do that experiment, but I saw like ten people try to walk in a straight line and fail!
ReplyDeleteWow! We learned about Mitad del Mundo in my Spanish class this quarter. Somehow it wasn't as interesting...maybe if I was there in person hehe ;)
