Black Holes Don’t Exist..Wait What?
Most physisicts and astronomers have taken it as a given that black holes exist. This study claims that they don’t which is a bit shocking. Here is more about their studies: Black holes are some of the most extreme environments in space ever conceived by science and are also one of the most gripping visual…
Reverse Prism Experiment Looks Cool
A cool experiment is featured in this video where they make a reverse prism. Here is more about what they used for this test: A portable optical circuit that houses 3 laser diodes, a 100mW 532nm Green Laser, a 50 mW 445nm Blue Laser and a 50mW 650nm Red Laser. Using a tunable power supply,…
Time May Be an Illusion
This video goes into theories that time may be an illusion. Here is more from wikipedia: Time perception is a field of study within psychology and neuroscience that refers to the subjective experience of time, which is measured by someone’s own perception of the duration of the indefinite and continuous unfolding of events. The perceived…
NASA Tests RS-25 Launch System
Will the RS-25 launch system get us to Mars? Here is more about this NASA test: The new year is off to a hot start for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). The engine that will drive America’s next great rocket to deep space blazed through its first successful test Jan. 9 at the agency’s Stennis…
10 Time Travel Theories on Evidence Proving It Exists
Time travel has been one of the great debates over the centuries. Is it possible to go into the future only or back in time or both? This video has 10 of the best time travel theories around and here is how the narrator describes what you are about to see: Bill and Ted, Marty…
Laser Microscope DIY at Home Video
This is a cool laser microscope you can make at home and study things around you easily and inexpensively. Here is a bit more on the video: Simple microscope using a laser pointer and a magnifying glass. This differs from the water drop method and produces results more like a traditional microscope with enlarging via…
The Coldest Place in the Universe
This shows how to create pretty much the coldest place in the universe. Here is a bit more on how they do it: A Bose-Einstein Condensate of sodium atoms is created in lab at MIT by Martin Zwierlein. Using highly focused, single frequency lasers it is possible to cool the single sodium atoms, negating their…
CERN Super Collider Just Fired at 13TEV Most Powerful Ever
On May 21 today CERN is now firing at 13TEV the most powerful ever. Here is a bit more on what is happening today: Beams of protons should collide in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the record-breaking energy of 13 teraelectronvolts (TeV) for the first time. This is one of the many steps required…
How Fast is the Speed of Dark?
Here is a really cool scientific debate about the speed of dark. The speed of light has been discussed and measured obviously but what about a different way of measuring the universe and it’s properties? Here is a bit on spacetime from wikipedia which may be relevant here: When dimensions are understood as mere components…
NASA burn off ignititers using hydrogen tested
NASA is testing a new system that may improve safety and overall performance with some of their ignitions. Here is more from the article: NASA has a certain “flare” when it comes to safety on the launch pad. Those flares are called hydrogen burn-off igniters — which resemble celebratory sparklers — and were successfully used…
Futuristic Megayachts Will They Lead to Personal Floating Cities?
Currently billionaires are known to have megayachts and believe it or not, many are demanding even bigger and more futuristic yachts. This article sheds some light on what some big yachting industry folks are seeing: Megayacht owners are pushing for bigger and more extravagant ships. Combined with the competition that comes with such an obvious…
The Speed of Light Will This Travel Faster?
This is a really interesting scientific debate that examines the speed of light and possibilities of traveling faster. Here is a bit more on light speed from wikipedia: For many practical purposes, light and other electromagnetic waves will appear to propagate instantaneously, but for long distances and very sensitive measurements, their finite speed has noticeable…
Anti Gravity Experiment is Pretty Cool
Here is a neat experiment making the guy in the video feel like there is no or very little gravity on the wheel he is spinning. Many of us have spun gyroscopes and seen them balance and this is much cooler in the large scale. It is called gyro precession and here is a bit…
10 Tesla Inventions and Things You May Not Know About
Nikola Tesla is now being recognized as one of the best electrical engineers ever. Of course there is the famous car company named after him and some really cool youtube videos discussing his work. Some of the most well known ones are the Tesla coil videos showing how to make electricity shoot out of copper…
Have Aliens Used Black holes for Space Travel
Wow some scientists hypothesized that aliens may have harnessed black holes for space travel. Here is an intro to the research: Has an advanced alien civilization built a black-hole-powered particle accelerator to study physics at “Planck-scale” energies? And if such a cosmic collider is lurking in a corner of the universe, could we detect it…
Physicists Use a Scientific Phenomenon for a Cool Invention
This super cool physics effect called the Leidenfrost effect has been harnessed and actually used for an invention! It is an unusual phenomenon that allows water droplets to levitate and even climb uphill.
