what does this phrase mean. The doctor said,"It's hard to invent a wheel." What is a wheel in this context?

Im not totally sure about that one but I know that when people say 'you dont have to re-invent the wheel,' it means that you don't have to have a completely new approach or idea every single time. You can adapt ideas and past experiences to aid you in whatever you are doing. The wheel concept is just used because the invention of the wheel seems like and incredibly simple concept, but sometimes those are the hardest to develop. yet it completely changed human lives. I need justa  little more information as to what the situation was.

THE HAT LAW (beeep! beeep! Move it Hat Guy!)\nTHE YOU BIG BULLY LAW (try & knock me down)\nTHE HELP I'M A BUG LAW (SPLAT! *Help, I'm a bug!*)\n\nYour question rocks because all you hear from books and teachers is (use Peanuts TV show teacher voice here)\n\n"bwah bwah INERTIA bwah bwah tends to remain in motion bwah bwah equal and opposite reaction bwah bwah bwah"\n\nI think this is because they do not really understand it.\n\nYou know who understands this stuff by the seat of their pants? Bikers! Harley, Suzuki, Honda, you name it, they totally get it.\n\nBut you have asked what is so QUESTION NUMBER ONE in physics. \n\nHere's a way to remember and understand through a totally whack story.\n\nIt took a super-genius, I mean way smarter than Einstein, to figure it out. A good old farm boy, astrologer, magician & alchemist, religious fanatic, mathematician and all around kook. Yes sirree, Sir Isaac Newton.\n \nWell we all know what a force is, it is a sort of push or pull -- think of it as something that changes or *tries to change* the motion of stuff.\n\nNewton first figured out that if you leave a thing alone, or if the pushes and pulls on it cancel out, then it will sit there like a lump. This is called INERTIA, Like those drivers wearing hats, and like sit there after the light has already turned green two minutes ago.\n\nOr else a thing will keep moving in the same straight line direction and speed like those drivers wearing hats who go 40 mph on the expressway with their turn signal blinking on and on. This is also INERTIA and is also known as "THE HAT LAW".\n\nIt comes from the Latin words meaning artless -- not like painting "art" but an art like a skill. LIke if you ask your buddy to help you change your tire and he is like "dude, I would but I so do not know how.. I am artless.. sorry man"\n\nAll was well until he noticed that things move faster in an amount equal to how much you bully them or push them around. Twice the force, twice the fasterness and fasterness (also known as acceleration). This is called the "YOU BIG BULLY LAW".\n\nThen he discovered a fly in the ointment. His HAT and BULLY laws didn't really explain all that much. Something was gumming up this beautiful theory. We call it MASS and it is still an unknown mystery as to what it really is. So we vaguely call it the amount of stuff or matter in a thing.\n\nSo he found out that for a certain force the faster-isity (acceleration) is cut in half if you double the mass. The bully has to push twice as hard to fasterize two little kids. So he was like "I'll just add that in, and all will be cool". The "YOU BIG BULLY LAW" and "THE HAT LAW" totally did it all. Let's hear it, big-time: Boo Yah!\n\nBut then Newton had a road accident. He was gunning his Harley over London bridge at like 250 when a bug hit him in the mouth and knocked out one of his wooden teeth. He was all "Why am I so in pain?". And the bug as it squooshed said "Help! I'm a bug!"\n\nSo spitting out the splinters of his wooden tooth and the splattered bug, he had this revelation. He realized that because he was moving so fast, and the bug slowed down so fast, that even a miniscule mass like a bug was like taking a hammer to his tooth.\n\nHe noticed that the force was equal to the mass of the bug times the speed of impact all happening in a brief moment. \n\nSince Newton spoke Latin (he was the love child of Joe Newton and an Italian governess) he wrote "Fastus buggus ina momentum hurtus like crazy." Today we call this "momentum" (really) It is just "mass times speed" or "force times a small moment of time".\n\nAnd he realized that the bug smashed up his tooth, but also that the bug was squashed (like a bug) because they were trading off the EXACT same amount of momentum. \n\nThe force on the tooth by the bug in the moment of time w

It's a statement of encouragement.  He's saying that if something is in your way, you shouldn't let it get the best of you.  Obstacles exist to overcome them and find ways around them.  Obstacles give a person something to struggle over, and when they come out on the other side or break down those obstacles, that person is stronger for it.  If you surrender to an obstacle, you can't go any further.  To surrender to an obstacle is to give up on where you are going and to pass down an opportunity to struggle through a hard situation and better yourself.  Biblically speaking, God sometimes allows us to go through hardships because He knows it will make us stronger on the other side of the obstacle.  There are plenty examples of this with Job, King David, and all of the apostles to name a few.  Good luck with your essay!

I suspect it's supposed to be something like "Quod quondam iterum ego vado, in profundis vorago existimo iaci" which means something like "Whichever path I travel (in the past, in the future, sometimes), I judge myself to be thrown into a profound pit."\n\nIt didn't make much sense to me in the first version…I suspect it's a bad computer translation.

better to say people with handicaps or people with disabilities....taking the emphasis off the disability.  A person first.\n\nCould say people with physical challenges or mental challenges.

I don't know...his Three laws of Motion? Something about inertia that an object in motion must stay in motion until acted on by another force. Something like that.

And by accident. No purpose, no meaning, no plan, no design. Funny isn't to think that all that is, is nothing at all. Just one big mess of an accident that.\n\nKind of like looking at a big building and wondering how did that get there. Building, builder, Creation, Creator. Man that is so hard to understand. I don't need to know who the builder was but if I see a building then I know that there was also a builder. I see creation I also know that there was a creator.

It means that you cannot resist the urge to make some dryly humorous or mildly clever play on words or concepts that are already part of the conversation.  For example, if we are discussing why your dog seems to often bite himself on the left rear haunch, in the context of giving you a fairly informative and sincere answer, I may make the following statements:  "Pardon the pun, but you know it's a dog-eat-dog world."\n\nBy the way, as an aside, I think this would certainly be a better community if we all stuck to the topics at hand and didn't use this as a platform to insult complete strangers.  Ramon, I apologize for the attack you've experienced here.

Not sure where the quote is from, but my guess would be they're talking about computing and graphics processing power.  Takes a lot to make a believable scene.

It's pretty good.  Did you come up with it? Maybe you can reword it to read...\n\n"Do not laugh at others failures when you're not courageous enough to tackle one"\n\nKeep the "one" the same and let it have the same meaning (failure).  I like how you used one as a metaphor.  It makes the quote a bit more profound.

This means Excited, and/or turning cartwheels to demonstrate one's excitement..\nMany people would recognise that meaning. What most wouldn't do is take time to consider that it makes no literal sense - after all head over heels is the normal posture. A version of the phrase originated in the 14th century as 'heels over head', which is really what we mean when we use it. The phrase evolved into head over heels much later as it was used in everyday speech without a great deal of thought.
