They went to concerts and studied videos from YouTube. Physicists have worked out the basic rules that describe this kind of motion, so Bierbaum and Silverberg decided to look for the rules of motion in moshing. "It was basically just this random mess of collisions, which is essentially how you want to think about the gas in the air that we breathe," he says. While he was watching, he realized that the motion of people in a mosh pit looks kind of like molecules moving in a gas. "But this time I wanted her to be safe and have a good time, so we stayed out on the side and watched things from there." "Usually I would jump in the mosh pit," he says.
#MOSH IT FULL#
They're also metal heads who enjoy going to concerts and hurling themselves into mosh pits full of like-minded fans.Ībout five years ago Silverberg took his girlfriend to her first gig. Both are graduate students at Cornell University.
Physics and heavy metal don't seem to have a lot in common, but Matt Bierbaum and Jesse Silverberg have found a connection. Once finalised, our scientific advice will help inform the European Commission and EU Member States consider risk management action.Fans in the mosh pit during the performance of Liturgy at the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Park, Chicago, on July 14, 2012.

RecommendationsĮxperts recommended that more research is done to quantify the presence of MOAH in food and that toxicity data are collected to better assess the risks they pose. The highest levels of MOH were found in vegetable oils and the highest exposure was estimated for young people, especially infants who have been fed exclusively with infant formula containing high levels of MOSH. MOH can enter food in many ways - through environmental contamination, use of lubricants for machinery, release agents, processing aids, food or feed additives and migration from food contact materials. They have been found in a variety of foods, which typically contain higher levels of MOSH than MOAH. Little information is available on the occurrence of MOAH in food, so experts worked on two different predictive scenarios, both of which indicated a possible health concern using a margin of exposure approach. For genotoxins like these it is not possible to establish a safe level. Therefore, we were able to rule out a risk for public health,” said James Kevin Chipman, Chair of the working group on mineral oil hydrocarbons.Įxperts also looked at two different types of MOAH, concluding for one that it may contain genotoxic substances that can damage DNA in cells and may cause cancer. “For MOSH, adverse effects on the liver were observed in a specific strain of rat, but the evidence suggests that these effects are not relevant for humans. They are categorised into two main groups referred to as MOSH and MOAH. Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) comprise a wide range of chemical compounds obtained mainly from petroleum distillation and refining.
These are some of the conclusions of a draft scientific opinion that was launched for public consultation today and updates EFSA’s previous risk assessment of mineral oil hydrocarbons in food. Competent organisations in Member States.
