Trump’s Health Thread - Trump beginning to molt?

A weird phenomenon though aboutm ear cartialge. If it is separated from the skin and intact, it will thicken to reach the skin. Wrestlers get cauliflower ear when interstitial fluid builds due to the rubbing. The cartilage thickens. But yes, if torn, it's not growing back.

A bullet from a AR-15 has the kinetic energy of ten 100 mph fastballs. Any actual contact would have torn the ear half off and left the right ear deaf...possibly long term hearing impact.

Just no, no, no. First the kinetic energy a bullet transfers to the target can be measured by the change in the bullet's velocity. That's all there is so what the ultimate energy of the bullet is is irrelevant. Secondly, there's no shockwave without contact. Your description or the damage is not realistic to either the flesh or hearing. Even if it were a hollow point or any other expanding round, there was enough contact to make that happen. Guns are physics and not magic.

'This is dementia': Trump sets off fresh concerns by mixing up his father's birthplace

President Donald Trump set off another round of speculation about his mental health by mixing up his father's birthplace.The 79-year-old president hosted German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday at the White House, where he took questions about the U.S. attack on Iran and seemingly mixed up...

I wonder what is the total amount of time to get Trump’s hair, face and hands ready for public viewing? They should do a behind the scenes video.

Like 40k sleeping in a day coffin, trump sleeps in a spray tan bed. Just push the button and he's coated for the day.

You are right that the other poster's physics is way off, but I"m not sure what you mean by the energy of the bullet being irrelevant. Hold up a piece of paper and punch it. You won't punch through it -- the paper will just bend away. Shoot it. The bullet goes right through. When hitting a floppy target, the velocity does matter.

That said, I really don't know where the "ear would be deaf" idea is coming from. Hearing would be knocked out by a pressure wave. I'm no expert on high energy projectiles, but my intuition says that a bullet hitting an ear lobe would not cause a pressure wave. In addition, the pressure wave would move in the same direction as the bullet, meaning that it would not affect the ear at all. If there was an earring in the ear lobe, something that would cause a scattering, then maybe the effect claimed would materialize. A bullet merely hitting an ear lobe would not create a pressure wave to knock out hearing.

It's the energy transferred that matters so the ultimate energy doesn't matter. It's the primary reason behind expanding ammunition for hunting. A through and through wound has minimal shock factor unless it hits bone. An expanding bullet acts to create drag slowing the bullet and transferring more of the energy to the target. It also creates on hell of a wound channel and bloody mess. Basically it's about changing the v in the energy formula.

There is also a pressure wake from a supersonic bullet that is measurable. However since your projective is less than a quarter of an inch in diameter and weighs about an eighth of an ounce, it doesn't measure out at much.

I'm no hunter, so maybe I'm wrong, but:

1. I don't think you kill a deer with kinetic energy. Here's how to see that. Suppose you shoot a deer. On the front side (i.e. what you can see) the deer is normal. On the far side, the deer has a really strong exoskeleton that can completely absorb a bullet. If you shoot the deer, all of the kinetic energy will be absorbed, yet I do not think that would turn a non-lethal "through" shot into a fatal wound.

2. You kill a deer with a hollow point because physiology. The bullet fragments tear apart tissue regardless of their ultimate energy transfer. It's the same way that twisting a knife can turn a laceration into a fatal wound. It's not about the energy so much as how many organs can be ripped and blood vessels carved up.

Here's how to see that. Suppose you shoot a jellyfish or some other really soft animal. You shoot with a very low energy hollow point bullet (let's assume for now that the bullet nonetheless splits), but still all shards exit the jellyfish. You will still fuck it up, because most of its tissue gets wrecked.

3. The pressure wake from a supersonic bullet is still going to follow the bullet's trajectory. It is only going to spread noticeably if it hits something to cause scattering.

Go read about hydrostatic shock.

The bullet wake in the air is like a boat wake in the water.

Not really. The boat wake is caused by water surface tension. You'd get much, much less wake in a low-viscosity fluid with no surface tension.

Second, the wake follows the pressure cone in any case. It spreads along the axis of motion but it doesn't go backwards. If your boat accelerates immediately, parallel to a buoy, upon reaching the same latitude as the buoy, the buoy will be unaffected. A buoy 100 feet in front of you, though, could be hit. Here we have to assume a sailboat -- a motorboat has completely different physics because in that event water is actually being pushed backwards and the effect is different.

As for hydrostatic shock, AI tells me that's a minor factor at best in causing a wound. The bullet does damage by tearing and stressing tissue.
