10 Unusual Events That Actually Happened

This video lists out some very unusual events that actually took place.  Some of them are a bit gross, but it is interesting: Top 10 Mysterious Events on Earth in history including the unsolved, weirdest, and strangest. It Begins by Raining Inside) This might be one of the most insane mysteries I’ve heard. While on

Are Space And Time One Continuum?

Space, time, the theory of relativity and the 4th dimension.  These concepts are taken mostly to be fact except when we reach quantum mechanics and things get even more interesting.  Here is a brief refresher on Einstien’s work in this area and a video discussing the concept of space and time as one continuum. “Einstein’s Dream,”

Is Time Travel Possible? [Video]

The narrator in this time travel discussion is Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, and a long time friend of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan.In his approach to theorizing he brings up some intelligent points. We would like to probe the laws of physics with experiment and theory.  However wormholes, and this era of technology still

They Just Found The Smallest (Of The Massive) Black Holes

This discovery at first glance seems contradictory although the implications may be important: The supermassive black hole in question resides about 340 million light-years away at the center of a dwarf disk galaxy called RGG 118. The estimated mass of this object is about 50,000 solar masses. This is less than half the mass of

Top 10 Science Experiments By Crazy Guy [Video]

You may have likely seen one or more science experiments by this enthusiast, “CrazyRussianHacker”.  Aside from a comedic name, he actually does some neat stuff in his lab, home or somewhere.  And in this video he shows us some of his top 10 most entertaining experiments NOTE: Do not attempt any of these without the

Lightning Can Transform Rocks Even At Their Center

Who knew?  Apparently in the contest of rock vs. lightning, lightning can be seen to be a winner in a way that may have been previously unseen: A zap of lightning can change the very structure of a rock, new research shows. When a high-energy lightning strike bombards a rock, it can heat the rock

They Saw A Huge Outburst At 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

This was somewhat unexpected and very cool: You’re witnessing the most dramatic outburst ever recorded at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta spacecraft. The brilliant plume of gas and dust erupted on July 29 just two weeks before perihelion. In a remarkable display of how quickly conditions on a comet can change, the outburst lasted only about 18 minutes, but its effects reverberated for

They Found An Exoplanet That Orbits Two Stars

It is discoveries like this that will change how we view the universe.  The discovery of exoplanets in the last 10 years or so has changed astronomy forever!  And as cool as this is it isn’t the first time they spotted something like it.  However these discoveries are becoming more frequent: Just like Tatooine of

Quantum Entanglement And The Universe

Quantum entanglement is one of the most controversial topics in science.  The reason is that it takes the material world of physics and turns it…simultaneous (science  joke 😉 ) Some of the biggest names in modern physics, Professor Leonard Susskind, Stanford University’s world renowned theoretical physicist and one of the fathers of string theory, Professor

25 Insane Things About Black Holes

To this date, no matter what anyone says or how decorated of an astrophysicist they are, no one actually 100% knows for sure everything about black holes.  In this video, there is a list of some of the crazier facts: Much like a black body in thermodynamics, a black hole is a region of space

Underwater Monolith Has Just Been Discovered

  This may be one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in a long time.  An incredible and unexpected stone has been found in the Mediterranean Sea: A mysterious monolith has been discovered buried on the sea bed off the coast of Sicily.
