In valuable information news, this is a video from the Science Channel taking a deep, stinking dive into the physics and engineering behind how toilets work. It was fascinating. And by fascinating I mean I already knew how toilets work. So, if you don’t feel like watching the video but
Feel like getting motion sick? Have I got the video for you! This is a clip filmed by Chuck Aaron Aerobatics of a helicopter rotor spinning while taking off and in flight, filmed at 240FPS, then slowed down to 30FPS so you can actually see what’s going on. SPOILER: Projectile
These are two TikTok videos of Texas A&M University physics and astronomy professor Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova demonstrating inertia (the property of an object to resist change in its motion) with two experiments: one involving pounding a knife through a skewered potato with a rubber mallet, and another dropping an egg
This is a video from WIRED of astrophysicist Paul M. Sutter answering questions asked on Twitter. Questions like what is dark matter, how many exoplanets are there, what’s it like a black hole, and what is a parallel universe? Unfortunately, he did not answer any of the love and relationship
Because even Aquaman deserves hydraulic press crushing entertainment he can relate to, this is a video of the fun-loving folks at the Hydraulic Press Channel crushing cans and bottles underwater with a 40-ton press. Not only can Aquaman related to the underwater aspect of the video, but I’m sure he
This is a video from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) planetary astronomer Dr. James O’Donoghue (previously), detailing how far you’d be able to throw a ball on other planets compared to on earth. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly, that I’m not convinced I could even throw a
This is a beautiful and well-edited timelapse video captured by amateur astronomer and Youtuber k2qogir featuring the James Webb Space Telescope passing in front of Alnilam, the middle and brightest star in Orion’s Belt, part of a nebula some 2,000 light years away. In k2gogir’s own words while I pound
This is a video of Yakutsk, Russia resident Kiun B performing six experiments to demonstrate just how ungodly cold it is there. Yakutsk is known for recording the lowest temperature outside of Antarctica, at -64.4°C (-83.9°F). For reference, that’s even colder than the coldest witch’s tits, but not something I’d
