for the curious ones, here is a picture that encapsulates what we do here in my group. that’s right, we run simulations and calculations in an attempt to prevent, or at least predict, this happening to your car (or your house, or your friend’s house, or your head):

yep. predicting when and where the sky is going to fall. that’s what we do.
of course, with becca around, i know that i’m safe. if it’s gonna hit anyone in our group, it’ll be becca. she’s the unluckiest person alive.
