terminal velocity (13. 018)

Though I think not taking all the factors of Newtonian physics into account, Infinite Ball Drop is a fun visualisation of the of the countdown (first spotted by Waxy) as the ball makes its descent from a special mast atop One Times Square (normally only sixty seconds and a controlled drop of one-hundred and thirty-nine feet down the pole)projected to the present time to ring in the New Year—currently some two-million feet above Manhattan with nine-hundred thousand seconds left to go. Past the thermosphere already, one can track it as it slowly plunges below the orbit of the International Space Station and the edge of space—the Kármán line (see also). The first New Year’s Eve party took place on the cusp of 1907 and 1908 and continues to this day and has inspired another similar drops and raises in places across the world through all time zones.
