The people who figured out the math of the hexagon also figured out you could do it with a bucket of water and a turntable.
Made for good demonstrations when reporting the results.
(They used more regulated and measured pieces for more rigorous tests. They just also had a bucket)

Well this experiment happened on earth in earth gravity, while the entirety of Saturn is like a sphere in outer space.

So we need to send the peas to the ISS and rerun the experiment.

On earth, witch happens to be a sphere in outer space.....

The difference in gravity does matter.

Til Saturn is made of peas. Huh.

Oops! Wrong planet. I came here to make a stupid "Uranus" joke. /s

[-] Logarrhythmia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Saturn… Sat on uranus! i dunno, tried my best, sorry.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

That's Gold!

Peas are one of my least favorite foods, out of morbid curiosity, what are you going to do with that pea slurry?

[-] Tacky4092@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ever heard of the concept of soup?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Probably eat the creamy soup? Just a guess, not OP. Personally I enjoy my pea soup to be lumpy.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

One man's pea soup is another man's slurry. /s

Jupiter made with blender? CONFIRMED: SPACE IS A HOAX!!1!

[-] nqua@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

not necessarily, usually i print things after i created them with blender and even if jupiter was printed, it would then still be real. just its origin would be ... interesting, i mean how many edges, faces and vertices? could we still see and count them with todays technologie? how was it printed - my printer doesnt even support printing liquids to astronimical bodies let alone gas. so many questions !!

[-] notabot@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

I reckon they didn't even bother 3d printing it. I think they just printed an image on paper and stuck it to the sky. When it goes below the horizon they scrape it off and put a new sticker up, with an image rendered from a slightly different angle, so it's ready for the next night.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 10 points 1 day ago

Oh! So its because the protective around around saturns blades is hexagonal, of course!

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Or circular with 6 equidistant holes.

[-] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago

Blender on Jupiter confirmed?

[-] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 3 points 20 hours ago

Weird, I thought they were based in Amsterdam.

[-] davetortoise@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago

I mean to be fair there probably is the same kind of fluid dynamics effect going on here

[-] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I like Enoch's interpretation of Saturn.

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

So... Saturn's thicker than a bowl o' oatmeal?

[-] GenXLiberal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago
[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago

Oh, lawd. She comin'. Ain't no retrograde here.

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Whirled Peas is not enough, we demand an inter solar solution.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

What are you doing with those peas though?

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 11 points 1 day ago

A model of Saturn, obviously

[-] ChunderBustickles@piefed.nz 2 points 1 day ago

I only.just realised it's Jupiter not Saturn that has "the 'gon" and blew straight past the title...

its been a long week, though, so maybe that's related

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 day ago

Every planet deserves a hexagon. Hexagons are bestagons!

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Hoping for whirled peas, I suppose.

[-] saruwatarikooji@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Split pea soup I'd assume. Pretty good when made right.

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago

I'll tell you if your making it... Split pea .... You don't need to blend them. You just cook. If you use a blender at all you need to turn off your stove and walk away. Your not ready yet to make a start and ignore soup. Let alone one your now involving a blender to make.

[-] deltapi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I don't know who is down voting you, but yeah, you're right, split pea soup doesn't require blending. Maybe people use whole dried peas instead of split peas blend it?

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 2 points 22 hours ago

Even then just cook them the long the softer and will turn to paste on its own its like potatos. I never have to cook them longer then 2 hours anyway or you already are past mushy peas.

[-] bobbyfiend@retrolemmy.com 6 points 1 day ago

And from this we must assume that Saturn is surrounded, indeed bound, by a massive metallic cylinder.

[-] aburrito@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

The bottom of Saturn has a dodecahedron!

[-] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

I think there is one less dimension and two less points on the actual shape.

[-] aburrito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

πŸ™ˆ you right, decagon

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The bottom of Saturn has duodenitis

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That must be one hell of a blender.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Immersion Blender's will change your life. It's almost as useful as an air fryer.

[-] nqua@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

at least we now know where saturn got its rotation and storms from.
