Is this surprising or not? A home experimenter does a clever experiment and films what happens with simple physics? This guy does a fun home electric experiment that is super easy to setup. What is so cool is that he harnesses electricity from a device that is turned off. So how is he able to…
Woman Can Light Her Sink Water On Fire…Not Good
Uh…what do you think of THIS? Not sure how this is anything other that a how is that possible phenomenon? We have heard about fracking and its potential issues. Hydraulic fracking involves fracturing rock with a combination of water, chemicals and sand to extract natural gas and oil energy. As the world’s population booms and…
He Made A Generator That Runs On Water From A Creek In His Backyard
Now THAT is awesome… These are some serious DIY skills and he shows you how he does it. There is a bit of machining involved as well which he shows you in his garage. If you are fortunate enough to have a running flow of water in the vicinity, this home inventor shows you how…
Dude Hasn’t Taken A Shower In 12 Years As An Experiment And THIS Happened
Is this a good idea? (he thought so) You read this headline correctly. And he actually has a background in engineering. Anyone can experiment it is not reserved for those who have backgrounds in physics and the like. However, there was a method to his madness and he wanted to test one of the most…
10 Facts About Space That May Blow Your Mind
This is a list of 10 extremely interesting facts about our universe. Most of this stuff is so hard to get your head around because unlike typical science experiments in a lab, we are categorizing about things that are up to billions of light years away. A lot of this is based on the doppler effect in…
New Class Of Sound Wave Has Been Discovered
Aside from the cool factor you might be surprised to hear of its benefits.. It’s been over 50 years since this has happened. Apparently a new type of sound wave may have some promising medical benefits. Nanotechnology and other non conventional delivery mechanisms have been making headlines for a few years now. And you can…
“Programmable Matter” Can Turn Into Basically Anything You Like
Once again science fiction becoming science reality.. There are 3 -4 states of matter depending on who you ask. Solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Some people consider plasma to be a liquid or a gas but it is usually dependent on the heat of the compound/substance as well as the properties. And if we manufacture…
Mythical Squid No More…Researchers Capture A Ginormous Squid On Camera
Seems like some fiction novels are becoming non fiction.. Apparently a “mythical” creature has been discovered by Russian researchers. You hay or may not have heard stories about a giant squid. Many cultures and plenty of American novels and sailors have spread stories about such a thing. Now one has been caught on video and…
These Atoms Wouldn’t Move When You Were Observing Them..WOW!!
?? Whoa cool! They have proven the “zeno effect”. You may or may not have heard about quantum entanglement. Sounds complicated and a lot of physics can be. However, in the simplest terms, it was illustrated in something called the double slit experiment where observing a particle of light or photon would effect it’s outcome…
For The First Time Ever Astronomers Have Detected Visible Light From A Black Hole
Wait I thought nothing could escape from a black hole? Some of the light was co bright you could see it with a “regular” telescope. Wow usually when we think about black holes we envision using super powerful telescopes such as The Hubble or The ESO. In addition, we are taught that nothing, even light can…
Is This THE Most Importan Planet Ever Outside of Our Solar System?
Have you heard about this one? There has been a big buzz over this planetary discovery. Apparently this exoplanet is only 39 light years away and is being called GJ 1132b. It is close enough to study in much further detail and they are saying it is extremely similar to Venus. (Note the pic is a…
Guy Does Experiment With A Floating Gyroscope And Its Awesome
this is hypnotic to watch… HOW he makes it float is amazing. This is one of those YouTube videos that science fans appreciate. It is simple and shows off the properties of physics that sometimes we forget about everyday. Here is a brief description from the experimenter as well on what is happening in…
The Found The World’s Oldest Calendar From 8,000 B.C.
Do you know where? This is over 10,000 years old…wow. It was discovered by British archaeologists in Scotland. The location is a place called Warren Field near Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. They hypothesized that some ancient societies may have used it for season tracking in hunting and gathering. This pic is of an Aztec calendar…
Could The Past, Present and Future Be Happening At Once?
This TRIPPY theory on time will make you think.. One scientist think that all of time is happening at once and the three perceived states are an illusion. Do you agree with this? Personally, we do not have a strong opinion either way. It is very “out there” but then again so was saying the…
Dude Makes A Homemade Coil That Heats Water In Seconds
now THAT is inventive.. This can actually be made pretty easily with just using a few random parts. It doesn’t take a scientist or physics student to make one of these its pretty easy. Here is how this home experimenter describes this device: In this video, I make a pancake coil for inductive heating the…
Guy Makes An “Exciter Circuit” Using A Tesla Coil And THIS Happened
Whoa! That’s pretty awesome.. Does it work as he expected? This home experimented definitely has some engineering chops and makes something very cool. NOTE: DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF A PROFESSIONAL. He uses tesla coil technology and something called a slayer circuit. This may be over the heads of many who are…
This Giant Black Hole Has Changed What We Thought We Knew
That was unexpected. A particular black hole is so enormous it changes what we thought we understood about some galaxies. It actually outgrew the host galaxy at a rapid pace which has astronomers scratching their heads. Usually the number of stars is positively correlated with the size of the black hole. Here is a bit…
They Found Something Even Rarer Than A Double-Black Hole Galaxy
Do you know what it is? Astronomers have detected a super rare cosmic formation. It is called a skinny black hole. It gets the name because of its appetite or lack thereof for stars. It is very baffling and they just found it. As you likely know a black hole feeds on mass…lots of it.…
Is Time Just An Illusion?
this is a theory that could be crazy or crazy smart.. Who really knows but this journey through the different possibilities really makes you think. There has been more talk lately about quantum entanglement and of course the famous double slit experiment. What does that have to do with time? Well, those properties of physics…
Take A Journey To “Alien Worlds” Beyond Our Solar System
This makes you THINK… 8 new planets that could host aliens are examined in depth. They take a visual journey through some of the most promising exoplanets that have been found by powerful telescopes such as The Hubble. There has been an extra focus on these types of formations as they may have atmospheres and…
