Depends if there is a camera pointed at him... Then he'll jump around and act like a jackass.

they really need better access to porn

err... zero, as he'd die of asphyxiation at least. :-)

That is all.

Even if we regard lightning simply as an electrical arc, which CAN exist in a vacuum, as opposed to the classic lightning generated by moving AIR AND WATER VAPOUR (required). Asking what the velocity is truly stumps the answerer. Velocity is a vector measurement which can only confuse things. To cap it all off you haven't been specific as to whether you are looking for the maximum, minimum or average speed.

So in all honesty I CAN give you an accurate velocity. 0 m/s @ 0-2pi rads in x,y and z.

Where this is the minimum value @ t=0.

Someone else can fill in the blanks. I win.

African?

More like need to slap on 0.500 seconds, to estimate his speed without drugs...that's if he were ever tested and discovered to have been taking them...not accusing him...of course...just theorizing a scenario...hypothetical...of course...ahem.

Now go home.

I'm really tired of you American Asses!!!

I'm a Jamaican and I had really grown tired of your Tim Mongomery's, Gatlins and Carl Lewises (all of whom HAVE failed drug tests at some time or another) beating their chests and making their proclamations - knowing full well they were pumped up on enough steroids to kill a cow! (Carl Lewis, for the record, was caught by USADA on many occasions, but this information was never passed on to WADA). Then comes a breath of fresh air - a naturally talented Jamaican, who celebrates his win with the 'nuh linga' - ever heard of it?? That's right you ass, you don't know what he was doing because you don't know our culture!!!

'Nuh linga' is the name of one of MANY dances that have evolved from the dancehall genre in Jamaica, and as opposed to disrespecting anyone, Bolt was actually celebrating his victories in our truly unique Jamaican way.

Americans on the other hand constantly disrespected other athletes with their bluster and arrogance, yet noticeably, now that there is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE drug testing (as well as a test for HGH, which previously went unchecked), the very same Americans are no longer dominant in track and field. Years of cheating denied Merlene Ottey and Raymond Stewart (if you don't know them it's because they always had to settle for 2nd or 3rd behind the likes of FloJo and Carl Lewis), and now - finally- with a level playing field, we can be denied NO MORE.

Your hypocrisy is irritating beyond measure - "oh it's OK if our boys celebrate, even if they go over the top, but how dare this Jamaican enjoy his world record breaking, and history making (had to put those in there) victories???".

Yow, tek wey yuself yankee bwoy!!!

Jamaica to di worlllll!!!!!!

hey, i don't read any disrespect here, from what i make of it, they just expressing their dissapointment that bolt had the opportunity to smash the record, and he missed it because he wasn't focused for the race properly. do you think he'll be just as fast in 4years time?

this was a missed opportunity....

Why are these scientists wasting money on this when they should be working on my flying car? Cut their funding at once, I say!

Eryn, that comment was aimed at another commenter, "Damn Yank" (quite apropos). Also, Bolt didn't lose focus - he made a statement!

The fact that we are talking about that particular race now, and probably will be in London 2012, speaks to the dramatic statement made by his actions. Can you tell me (without checking 'the Google') who won the male 100m race at the 2005 World Championships, or the Sydney Olympics, for that matter? Thought not :)

Further, he already HAD the record, and stated that breaking it again was not his objective - some spectators are disappointed by not seeing a lower mark, but I think that's just them wanting to satisfy their own desires, Bolt was out to win Olympic Gold, which still means a great deal to some athletes, and certainly to our nation.

This was NO missed opportunity.

... spent beating his chest - trying to get his heart to slow down before his head exploded perhaps.
