This is a video of several snapping and mantis shrimps snapping/boxing filmed at 11,000 frames/second and producing cavitation bubbles (created when the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid’s vapor pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled “bubbles” in the liquid). Even filmed at such high

This is a video of Adam West from the original Batman television series having a conversation with himself over the phone as both Bruce Wayne AND Batman, as Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’Hara listen in. He does a great job, I can see why Adam got the part. Me? I

It’s hard to believe 1992 was 30 years ago, isn’t it? Time passes in the blink of an eye (and thousands of cold ones). This is a video from a typical McDonald’s restaurant in 1992 when the fast food giant was promoting Batman Returns and the Summer Olympics were taking

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found that adding robotic googly eyes that turn to gaze at pedestrians the car has identified help make them safer, by letting humans know the car has recognized them and (hopefully) won’t run them over. Plus the cars look way friendlier too —

This is a video highlighting the work of JEM FX, a visual effects company that specializes in the destruction of vehicles in movies. A lot of their work involves structurally weakening vehicles (e.g. cutting the support pillars of a car’s roof) so that they get damaged the way they want

Note: If you search for NASA DART on Google you get an Easter Egg. NASA successfully smacked an asteroid with a spacecraft traveling at 14,000 MPH in an attempt to alter its trajectory in a first-ever test of planetary defense, should an asteroid ever be discovered that’s on a collision
