    here he wanted to calcaulate how much time does it take to rotate the gear one tooth only
    it is inaccurate to calacalute only one teeth
    so he measure the number of rotations per time then convert it to number of teeth per time

    for example 50 rotations per 10 second, it will be 2000 teeth per 10 second ( if they gear has 40 teeth)
    which the time to rotate the gear only one theeth is 10/2000 second
    and it is the time the light takes to go to the mirror and back and hit the next teeth

    and then caculate the speed= distance/ time

    by equations
    rotations/ time
    teeths/time
    flip
    time/ one tooth= time for the light to back and forth and hit the next tooth
    then 2distance/time

  2. The previous generation had such a great observation power
    They made internet without using internet

    Meanwhile me : couldn't make Maggie without using the internet ( YouTube)
    Google ruining our capabilities of thinking & creating things/ solve problems by our own

  3. Although we are lucky enough to be born in a transistor world sometimes I think I would miss those simpler times where everything has curiosity and a need to be found in this complex realm it would be a bliss.
