This animated short takes us through the evolution of bicycle engineering: from “bone shakers” that rattled your soul, to the absurdly tall penny farthings, all the way to the gears and chains that finally made biking less of a circus act.
Along the way, you’ll see how math and mechanics turned two wheels and some pedals into the sleek speed machines we know today.
Ever wonder what happens when you take a slightly scruffy Home Depot Chewbacca and give him the ultimate glow-up? This creator did exactly that! She started by brushing out the Wookie fur, painting details on the face, and even crafting a brand-new bandolier and bowcaster. Piece by piece, the flat-pack fuzzball turned into a display-worthy Chewy who looks less “Christmas lawn ornament” and more “Defender of Kashyyyk.” The end result is a towering, fur-brushed, weapon-ready Wookie that could intimidate stormtroopers… or at least impress your neighbors!

Why do the most advanced computers on Earth look like something you’d see hanging above a steampunk vampire’s dining table? Because that’s quantum computing, baby.
In this SciShow video, Stefan Chin explains why quantum prototypes aren’t just tiny chips: they hang inside giant, gold-plated refrigerators colder than deep space, just to keep the qubits from “forgetting” they’re supposed to be quantum.
Watch to see why the future of computing comes with its own statement lighting.
