According to Amazon Web Services, Aaron Rodgers can defy physics. According to me, Amazon Web Services should stick to package delivery since my two day delivery always takes three days. I wouldn’t jump into science when you can’t handle the mail. Here is the video I’m referring to.
Now they listed some fancy measurements and probabilities in the video and I’m sure they’re all accurate, but they don’t exactly defy physics. In fact, nothing in the video does. Here’s some proof Amazon, you dummies.
The mere fact that Rodgers is running is proof that at least some physics is working properly. He’s able to apply force into the ground to push himself in the direction he wants to go. Watch him right after the ball leaves his hands. He’s falling backwards and gets pushed. Shockingly he falls straight onto the ground, almost like gravity was pulling him down. Sorry Amazon, your superman still falls into the dirt just like the rest of us. Oh yea, he was also able to THROW the ball. So he was able to apply a force to the ball and put it in motion. Newtons Laws of Motion, read a book Amazon.
The video does a nice job at showing the arc of the ball. Yes, the ball travels in an arc, kind of like gravity is pulling it down after Rodgers threw it into the air. If Rodgers had truly defied physics that ball would have just kept flying forever (overthrow much?). Unfortunately it falls right back to earth, which is exactly what would happen if I threw it, and I am but a mortal, a muggle if you will. Friction, gravity, air resistance, normal forces, the laws of motion, everything seems to be working properly.
But wait, does he not still completes the ball even though the Catch Probability is only 19.3%? He sure does. Aaron Rodgers defied probability, but get off his jock Amazon. Your king is just like the rest of us. Your hero is bound by the laws of physics.
It’s a simple game. You kick the ball, you throw that ball, and you catch the ball (name that movie). Aaron threw the ball, some dude caught it. A difficult paly? Certainly. Miraculous? Hardly. Without physics that play would have been a bigger shit show than the NFC Championship Game.
Please excuse my shots at Rodgers and the Packers, this blog was meant to call out Amazon. Yeah you heard me Bezos. Maybe when you have a break from sending awkward messages to your “alive girl” you could focus a little more on getting people’s packages to them on time and a little less on grandiose statements about Aaron Rodgers.
All I want from you Amazon is to be a good mailman, or mailwoman, it is 2020 after all. Maybe Amazon Web Services can defy the inevitable and not screw up my order. “Defies physics,” smh.
