Because physics are fun, this is a video of science experimenter NightHawkInLight creating a glow-in-the-dark pendulum swing using metal nuts (like Optimus Prime’s) covered in fluorescent paint and hanging from different lengths of wire under a blacklight. The results are hypnotizing, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if

This is artist Neil Mendoza’s ‘The Fragility Of Complexity’, a kinetic sculpture that consists of a series of rotating hammers that just barely miss breaking light bulbs as the the circle around their axis, the light bulbs swinging perfectly in between the hammer’s head and grip as they pass. Per

This is a video from artist, flipbook maker and Youtuber dp Art Drawing featuring an Incredible Hulk animation he created using a single sheet of paper that he drew on, erased, and redrew on to create 211 unique frames over the course of 52 days. By the end the paper

This is a video from Youtuber Backyard Racer featuring a Wheels track built over the course of a month that starts off in a treetop (which the car accesses via motorized gondola), and proceeds through numerous jumps, loops, and speed boosters, and even features a water feature. How about that!

This is a VICE video highlighting the work of Wales-based paper sculptor Polly Verity, who creases and folds paper with the very best of them. Per Polly: “The actual act of putting a crease into a piece of paper, committing to that crease, and just running along that line —

This is a video from the Faber-Castell pen manufacturing plant in Engelhartszell, Austria detailing how the “superfluorescent” Textliner 48 highlighter is made. The factory in Engelhartszell produces some 35-million pens and markers every year, and I suspect at least half of those eventually spend some time in a person’s butt.

This is a video of the Ingenuity rotorcraft (upper middle of screencap) flying above the Martian surface. Ingenuity, the first flying craft deployed by humans on another planet, flew approximately 700-feet at an altitude of 26-feet before landing. The footage, albeit relatively unimpressive to watch if you pretend this is

Because chemistry and physics are magic, this is a video of a guy wowing his friend with a length of stretched out nickel-titanium wire (aka Nitinol, a shape-memory alloy) that, when heated in a glass of hot water above its transition temperature (the temperature at which it was deformed), returns
