Originally made in 2018 but updated with sick 4K graphics and narration by EpicSpaceMan (aka Toby Lockerbie), this is Melodysheep’s ‘Entire History Of The Universe’. The timelapse packs 13.8-billion years into roughly 10-minutes, where every passing second represents 23-million years. That’s hard for me to wrap my head around. Granted,
A partnership between biotech startup Lab-Grown Leather, genomic engineering firm The Organoid Company and creative agency VML, T-Rex Leather is lab-grown leather created using the reconstructed collagen sequences of a t-rex. Some more details while I speculate how long until Texas Roadhouse is grilling dino steaks. To engineer leather from
This is the Periodic Table D120 made and sold by The MintTinGuys on Etsy. It’s a solid piece of aluminum (element 13, in the boron group) engraved with an element of the periodic table on each side. The die measures 2.4″, weighs over half a pound, and costs $120. That’s
The Argus omnidirectional robot developed by General Robotics Lab is a spherical robot with 20 spherical legs and 20 eyes (technically optical sensors). The robot demonstrates dynamics symmetry, meaning it can generate force/acceleration almost equally in all directions. It reminds me of a land octopus. What’s the 20 equivalent of
This is a video from the PressTube channel of YETI and Stanley mugs being filled with 1600°C molten hell to see which one lasts longer. I’m not sure if these test results would be permissible in court though, because the mugs appear to be different sizes, with the Stanley filled
Electricity: it’s terrifying. And to prove that point, this is a video of electrical engineer Greg Leyh turning one of his giant Tesla coils (because who can have just one?) into a targeted high-voltage plasma cannon. It’s like a mini Death Star. He then tests the ray on a model
You may recall (although I won’t fault you if you don’t) engineer James Bruton previously building an omnidirectional motorbike on two balls. But do you know what’s better than two balls? “Three balls?” Agreed, but James decided to go the less is more route anyways and made an omnidirectional motorball
Executively produced by Steven Spielberg and narrated by Morgan Freeman, The Dinosaurs is an upcoming documentary from Netflix detailing the rise and fall of everyone’s favorite prehistoric animals. Premiering March 6th, I did expect the computer graphics to be better. From the looks of things, we haven’t really progressed much
