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

Note: Keep your volume in check. In how to piss off the Ninja Turtles news, this is a video of an intentional detonation in an underground tunnel that causes a shockwave to travel back and forth along the length of it because it has nowhere else to go. Sounds like

These are a couple different angles of Juventes winger Juan Cuadrado scoring an Olímpico during the team’s recent win over Genoa. For those unfamiliar, an Olímpico (Olympic goal) is a score from a corner kick without making contact with any other player — you just curve the ball right on

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

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

This is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill using a vacuum chamber to increase a cup of liquid nitrogen’s evaporation (as a result of increased boiling due to the lower pressure), causing the temperature to drop until it freezes into a solid around 66 degrees above absolute zero

Visual learning: it’s way cooler than just reading a boring textbook and writing dirty words in the margins. And to prove that, this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill sticking his hand in a vacuum chamber and sucking all the air out. His hand blows up like

This is a video of skateboarding pioneer Tony Hawk (I wonder what he’s up to these days) performing a casual half pipe 540 while holding a glass of milk and not spilling any of it. I’m not sure how many attempts it took, but based on the amount of milk
