Because of the weight of the ends of the forks, and how they’re distributed behind the penny (closer to the glass), the center of gravity of the whole system is actually shifted quite significantly. If I’m right, it would actually have to be right where the penny meets the glass. This mean, in a sense, all the “weight” of the system of the forks and penny is resting right on that point, rather than out in the air, so if you balance it, it’ll be stable on the glass.
SCIENCE.
…….Close enough
The difference between Science and Engineering.

WOMEN IN GAMES
As we discussed in our podcast a few weeks ago, women’s depictions in games are gradually changing for the better.
While it’s still far from perfect, games like Tomb Raider, Metroid, Borderlands 2, and the upcoming Transistor and Remember Me are slowly changing the view of women in games—no longer are they shifted to a support role, now they are the badass mofo giving the baddies the business.
And speaking of badass, deviantARTIST muju’s depiction of women from games perfectly encapsulate the idea that women can lead and kick ass as well as (or better than) any man.
