[quote]Miley Cyrus, the singer would be unable to ‘come in like a wrecking ball’ without sustaining ‘significant injury’, the University of Leicester has concluded.
The study focussed on the lyrics of the singer's hit single Wrecking Ball from the American artist's album Bangerz.
David McDonagh, a student at the Centre of Interdisciplinary Science, found that Cyrus would be unable to gather sufficient momentum to have ‘impacted’ on either ‘love, or the walls of someone’s house’, as the song suggests.
McDonagh concludes that Cyrus would need to be travelling at around 316mph to demolish a wall – meaning she would need to be propelled by an outside force.
“Based on these findings, it is clear that a human being cannot possess the characteristics of a wrecking ball without sustaining significant injury, and other objects should be sought as an analogy,” he concluded.[/quote]
[quote]The study was carried out after the University of Leicester asked students to apply scientific principles to pop culture scenarios. Their work has been published in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics.
The journal aims to show the students the nuts and bolts of scientific paper writing, peer review and publishing – so while the findings may be fun, the science must be accurate.[/quote]

thanks science
Fine, we'll do a study about this song, now shut the fuck up Craig.
I wonder if this is the same group who crunched numbers to find out that, if Santa flew fast enough to reach every house in one night, the shockwave of taking off would literally liquify him and the reindeer.
Finally I can sleep comfortably at night again.
Thanks science.
Guess I know what I'll be writing my dissertation on.
thank god i no longer have to worry about miley cyrus bursting through my walls like a wrecking ball
now all thats left to worry about is that fucking koolaid man
I wish someone would put miley cyrus on a wrecking ball tbh
it's the [url=http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/physics/physics-special-topics]university of leicester journal of special physics topics[/url] again! always good for a laugh. sometimes
Damn they beat Mythbusters to it.

I think this calls for an experiment.

[quote]Theoretically, if he was actually thrusting in and out at a speed infinitesimally close to the speed of light, then from his point of view, you would be aging extremely quickly, and would be long dead before he finally shot his load (legally, he would be committing necrophilia).[/quote]
Science is fun.

Clearly this is the sort of information we need.

[quote]9. Penile black hole formation:
At the speed of light, relativity also predicts that the penis will attain infinite mass, essentially becoming a black hole. When its owner realises that his penis has turned into a black hole, he will become profoundly depressed and overcome by a feeling of loss. John Bobbitt would understand; but Mr Bobbitt had his penis sewn back on, whereas a penis lost to a black hole is a penis lost forever.[/quote]
Some information isn't meant for human eyes.

That would make him a wrecking ball - made out of glass!
