Nano Surfaces With Almost Zero Friction

Nano technology is starting to get exciting and the potential for applications is endless.  Here is an incredible look into the future of frictionless surfaces: For the first time, researchers in the US have made friction almost completely vanish between two surfaces at the nanoscale. The discovery paves the way for engineering surfaces that can

What Is The Paradox of Time’s Forward Motion?

Time is an unusual phenomenon that many like to consider the 4th dimension. Others feel that it is a manifestation of mentalism and but a mere illusion. This video examines the phenomenon from the vanatge point of some very well studied people. Here is more about it: Physics Nobel Laureate Sir Anthony Leggett talks about

Bizarre Quantum Entanglement Experiment

can you dig this? These experimenters have come to the conclusion that reality doesn’t exist until you look at it.  The most famous evidence in support of this is the quantum entanglement experiment.  Here is some more background from the studies at Australian National University: Quantum laws tend to contradict common sense. At that level,

NASA Invests In a Supersonic Jet Model

Awesome they are coming closer to making a supersonic jet with commercial uses.  And it sounds like it is going to be eco friendly.  Here is more background on this prototype: This isn’t NASA’s first attempt to bring back supersonic travel. The agency has been (literally) pushing the boundaries of flight for years. NASA’s predecessor

Is There a Holographic Universe in Our Mind?

This very interesting scientific philosopher if you will poses the question, is there a holographic universe in our mind?  here is some more background on the general theory: At first glance, there is not the slightest doubt: to us, the universe looks three dimensional. But one of the most fruitful theories of theoretical physics in

This Hypersonic Jet Can Cross The U.S. in 30 Minutes

The new X-51A by Boeing could be full yoperational by 2023 and cross the United States in 30 minutes.  Here is a bit more on the invention: Several tests of hypersonic projectiles have already been carried out. Air Force Chief Scientist Mica Endsley told Military.com that the Air Force and DARPA, the Pentagon’s research entity,

This Underwater City Is A Complete Mystery

do you even know about THIS? This is a sunken mystery that we hear little about.  It was discovered by a local scuba diver and here is more info about this strange sighting: The nation state of Japan is an archipelago composed of almost 7000 islands, forming a crescent shaped string pointing towards Taiwan. Yonaguni

Is There a Hidden Microscopic Universe?

whoa…no way. The universe is unfathomably big and these theorists make a case in the other direction. We measure things with the doppler effect, light years and powerful telescopes. What about an infinitely small universe?? We are able to study protons and neutrons, electrons and now even quarks. What if there was also a universe

Is This Really The Future of Space Travel?

one person thinks YES… The infamous founder of SpaceX has some words regarding space travel.  He is an ambitious inventor similar to Elon Musk.  In his discussion he gets into the collective effort we will need to use in making advancements beyond standard rocket technology.  There have recently been some exciting new developments such as

The Web is not the Net..

The web, the net and the deep web are all different.  Who knew right?  Most people just associate the term web and net synonymously.  The ever interesting and unique VSauce makes a solid video illustrating the actual differences in data flow, history and user experience of the different structures.  The history of the internet unfolded

X-37B Satellite Travels on Sun Beams..Latest Update

Wow!  This satellite that just launched is using a futuristic propulsion system as another method that uses sun beams.  Here is more from what they expect at the planetary society: If successful, solar sails could lead to more missions beyond the solar system, and put more endurance behind orbital projects closer to home. LightSail’s computer brain will

Where is This Mysterious Signal Coming From?

From the SETI program to crop circles there have been plenty of mysterious regarding things we may have or have not “detected”.  Here is another to add to the mystery: Exactly what may be causing the signal is hotly debated by scientists. Possibilities range from evaporating black holes to alien communication and merging neutron stars

10 Unsolved Mysteries of Space

Space is full of mysteries and although we have only physically traveled to the moon, the hubble space telescope and advanced mathematical theories help us study other parts of the universe.  So we have a great video for you of 10 unsolved space mysteries.  Have you ever wondered what really happens when light tries to

A Drone Recharging System for Airships

The drone frenzy is out of control and will likely be a huge part of commerce, rescue missions, surveillance and other applications.  Apparently Boeing has taken notice and here is some info on a patent they just filed: Boeing has patented a system for recharging drones in the air, overcoming a long-recognised roadblock in drone

Guy Makes a Vortex Fire Cannon…Seriously

This girl made a vortex fire cannon at home need I say more?  Using properties of physics here is more on how she did this and her inspiration: Pretty cool huh? The fire rings are amazing! How do you guys like the new style of video? In this video I show how easy it is

NASA and It’s Upcoming Flying Saucer Launch

You may have heard that NASA is launching a flying saucer in the near future…seriously.  Although weather in the near term may affect when they go forward with their mission.  Here is an update on things: The saucer-shaped Low Density Supersonic Decelerator, or LDSD, is designed to demonstrate technologies that are likely to come into

5 Time Travel Stories. Is This For Real?

Time Travel is a much debated topic in the scientific community and has been portrayed in some of the most popular movies in history. Einstein has posed certain theories about gravity and wormholes warping space time. And we have found an interesting video sharing 5 reported stories where time travel supposidely occurred. We obviously are
