The little fascinations we left behind in childhood are but her jumping-off points for the really, really big picture. It's a wonderful way to discover the hidden scientific connections behind the ordinary and everyday." * Dr Hannah Fry * "Helen Czerski's absorbing Storm in a Teacup stands head and shoulders above other popular science books. Helen invites you in to see the world through a her eyes and understand how a physicist thinks. Fun, fascinating and brilliantly well written - 'Right there, in my teacup, I can see the storm.' Me too and I know what it is now." * Marcus Brigstocke * "This book is charming, accessible and enthusiastic. It is rare that someone can explain that which seems endlessly complex and makes you feel like in fact you'd understood it all along. It'll carry you gently to the peak and show you how stunning and beautiful the view is. Czerski's enthusiasm is infectious because she brings our humdrum everyday world to life, showing us that it is just as fascinating as anything that can be seen by the Hubble Telescope or created at the Large Hadron Collider." * Jim Al-Khalili * "If you've ever felt like understanding how things work is just too big a mountain to climb then read this book. "A quite delightful book on the joys, and universality, of physics.

While invisible, Hades destroyed the weapons of the Titans as well as their armaments. The god of darkness and the underworld wore the helmet to become invisible and enter the very camp of the Titans. While the Trident of Poseidon and Zeus with his lightning bolt were of great influence during the Titanomachy, the Cap of Invisibility is believed to be the final master move in the battle between the Olympians and the Titans. Why Was the Cap of Invisibility Important During the Titanomachy? However, numerous figures would enjoy its benefits. Why it is normally seen as the symbol of Hades is because of the simple fact that he was the first user. Indeed, the helmet appears in other myths than just the one of Hades, even to the extent where Hades is totally absent from the myths. Other supernatural entities from Greek mythology did wear the helmet too. The thing is, Hades wasn’t the only one that ever wore the helmet. While Harry Potter uses a cloak to turn invisible, a helmet was the attribute of choice in classical mythology. Simply put, Hades helmet, or the Cap of Invisibility has the ability to turn anybody who is wearing it invisible. Hades abducts Persephone wearing his helmet What Powers Does Hades Helmet Have? Other names that are thrown in the mix when talking about the helm of the god of the underworld are the ‘Helm of Darkness’, or simply ‘Hades’ helm’. The one that is most used, and will be used throughout this article, is the Cap of Invisibility. READ MORE: Hermes’ Staff: The Caduceus What Was Hades’ Helmet Called?Ī couple of names pop up when talking about the helmet of Hades. Still, Hades helmet had quite an influence throughout the myths of ancient Greece. One could argue that the winged sandals of Hermes might come before the helmet or even the Caduceus. While the lightning bolt and the Trident are probably the most well-known weapons of Greek mythology, Hades’ helm is probably a bit less well-known. With the weapons, they were able to capture the great Cronus, amongst other Greek Titans, and secure victory for the Olympians. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were more than willing to accept them since any help was welcome during the war with the Titans. The items were carefully crafted, and in such a way that they could only be held by gods. The weapons were given as a reward from the one-eyed giants after the three brothers freed the creatures from Tartaros. Zeus got the lightning bolt, Poseidon got the Trident, and Hades got, well, his helmet. One ancient source, called the Bibliotheca, states that Hades obtained the helmet so that he could fight successfully in the Titanomachy, a major war fought between different groups of Greek gods and goddesses.Īll three brothers got their own weapon from an ancient blacksmith that was part of the race of giants called the Cyclops. The reason why Hades had the helmet, to begin with, goes back to the earliest of Greek myths. God of War: Athena’s Use of the Cap of Invisibility.The Messenger God: Hermes and the Cap of Invisibility.Why Was the Cap of Invisibility Important During the Titanomachy?. Our 22 ballistics demonstration above using Shoot! ballistics software and actual firing at the gun range or while The little 22 LR firing lead bullets of between 35-40grs in weight and around 1250-1350fps appears to be the ideal in terms of accuracy, power and flat trajectory. Beyond this range the little 22LR starts to run out of steam and bullet drop and energy taper off rapidly. The downrange energy and trajectory of a typical standard rimfire round make it suitable to consistently hit small sized targets, under ideal conditions, to about 140 yards. Subsonic bullets from a rimfire are ideal for close quarter pest control situations. The heavier 22 bullets also deliver increased downrange energy so vital for a clean kill on small game.Ī subsonic 22 LR round has its application in close range shooting (50 yards maximum) where noise could be a problem (i.e. This is why I choose to shoot standard velocity rounds firing a 38 or 40gr bullet. So for me pinpoint accuracy is more important in a 22 rimfire than velocity. I want that small round nosed or hollow point lead bullet to hit precisely where I’m aiming for a clean, humane kill. I’ve never found them to be as accurate as standard velocity rimfire rounds (as I define above in the 1250fps velocity range).Īccuracy is a big factor when shooting a 22 rimfire, especially when hunting small game. Over the years I’ve shot many different 22 LR hyper velocity rounds in a range of rimfire firearms. Personal Experience with 22 LR Hyper velocity rounds They perform just right across the ranges you typically shoot a rimfire. But when it comes to velocity (therefore higher energy) and wind deflection the ballistics of the other rimfire rounds are ideal. The hyper velocity round shoots flatter out to 100 yards, beating the other 2 rounds, but at a price (accuracy usually suffers – read below to learn more). The lesson here for shooters wanting to understand 22 ballistics is that high velocity usually does not equal better downrange ballistics performance. The standard rimfire round is between the two velocity extremes. The hyper velocity round is affected the most ( 1.09 inches drift off the bullseye at 50 yards) while the subsonic round is least deflected by crosswinds at this range ( only 0.62 inches). This shows the bullet drift at 50 yards with a 5mph crosswind coming from the East (3 o’clock). Look at the column named ‘Deflection(Inches)’. The Standard round lost only 134fps while the subsonic 85fps. Notice how much velocity the hyper velocity 22 round has lost at 50 yards compared to the standard and subsonic rounds – over 340fps! The other rimfire rounds lost far less velocity. Red line is the hyper velocity round ( 32gr bullet hollow point lead bullet at 1640fps)īlue line is the standard velocity round ( 40gr round nose lead bullet at 1240fps)Īt 50 yards the ballistics of each rimfire round are: 22 Ballistics And Velocity Loss Green line is the subsonic round ( 40gr round nose solid lead bullet at 1050fps) The trajectory graph below (take from Shoot! ballistics software) shows 3 typical rimfire rounds at different velocities (standard, hyper velocity and subsonic).Īll rimfire rounds were sighted in to zero at 50 yards using Shoot! ballistics software: Let’s compare the ballistics of 3 typical 22 Rimfire rounds However, before you start buying 22 ammo based only on velocity believing highest velocity is the key to better long range ballistics performance from the 22, read the following. The 22 LR is ideal for teaching novice or beginner firearm owners the basics of exterior ballistics and how to consistently hit targets beyond their usual shooting distance.Īmmunition is inexpensive so you can practice all day at the gun range. Why Understanding 22 Ballistics is Important Understanding 22 Ballistics (22 Long rifle – 5.6x15mmR) whether you shoot hyper velocity, subsonic or standard 22 ammunition (around 1250fps) is essential if you want to hit small targets beyond 100 yards.

The list below includes thinkers from both sides of the argument. Other common suggestions include self-realization, relationships, pleasure, service, and creativity. The most cited contenders are happiness and love. But they tend to disagree on what that meaning might be. Others maintain that there is an absolute meaning to our existence. The meaning of life, they argue, is a subjective affair. Some believe that life has no intrinsic meaning and that we must construct our meanings ourselves. Many thinkers, past and present, have grappled with it (Baggini, 2005 & Eagleton, 2007.)īroadly speaking, the theorists of meaning fall into two camps.

But this can also prompt physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual transitions and even sometimes a chaotic period as we begin to ask new questions. Moving into new chambers opens up the way for new possibilities to emerge, allowing our life purpose to evolve. They begin to ask what they can do to expand their space. Likewise, as people grow into a different phase of life, their old chambers can feel cramped. Our life can be seen as a nautilus that adds new chambers to its shell as it grows and needs more space. (Sharon Daloz Parks calls these events “life’s shipwrecks.”) Questions about life purpose may arise at any time in life, but you may notice that they are especially prevalent during times of transition or crisis-for example, a career or educational change, personal loss, or long-distance move.

The player controls the Drifter, a character that has access to technology that has long been forgotten by the inhabitants of the game's world and is suffering from an unspecified illness. Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action role-playing game fashioned after The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, rendered in a pixel art style. A Special Edition port of the game, featuring additional content, was released by Abylight Studios for the Nintendo Switch in September 2018 and for iOS devices in July 2019. The Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X versions were released in March 2016, and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in July 2016. Though originally scoped for release in 2014, various improvements in the game and issues with Preston's health set the release back. Preston originally launched Kickstarter funding for the title for approximately US$27,000 to develop the title for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux computers, but ended up with more than US$600,000, allowing him to hire more programmers and artists, and expanding the title for console and portable platforms through stretch goals. The game pays homage to 8-bit and 16-bit games, and is considered by its lead developer Alx Preston as a combination of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo. Both players have the same weapons at any point in the game.Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action role-playing game developed by Heart Machine. Summoning the second player will sacrifice 1 health from the first player. This second player cannot interact with the world and is purely support against enemies for the first player.

The player will be able to access the Horde Arena after collecting enough secrets, which presents them with a wave-based combat challenge against enemies from each area in the game. These modifications completely change the way the player approaches enemies, pushing the player to evade more attacks.
