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.

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

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 a video of an Emperor Palpatine toy Force lightning the shit out of Luke Skywalker via a Tesla Coil performing The Imperial March. You know the internet really gets boners for stuff like this. Me? I only get boners for one thing, and one thing only. “Footlong chili
