Modern meteorology is nothing short of amazing. The way they can use doppler radar to track a storm front, where it is going, and how long it will be there is a marvel of modern science (even if the weatherman are off here and there), But you take a look at this old school weather […]
Number two, I knew I would get to the bottom of your devious secrets sooner or later. Seriously, this is why we use #2 pencils on tests. This has been bugging me for years. Cool side note, if you run some chapstick over the answer reader, it is rumored the scantron cannot process the answers […]
Have you ever wondered who scientists have the ability to view individual atoms? Well you are about to get an awesome science lesson via the YouTube show Reactions, and maybe get a little insight yourself into the process. (H/T to LaughingSquid)
What can you even say about this underwater encounter between a robot submarine and a massive sperm whale 1,962 feet below the surface waters off the coast of Louisiana? It is majestic, like watching a dinosaur from the past interact with a robot from the future. Surreal, and undeniably soothing. [Via Gizmodo]
Most of us fear spiders. Why? Well I can only speak for myself, but they are somewhat creepy and I have fought enough of them as end bosses in video games to know they are up to no good. But scientists have recently been using Doctor Who to help them figure out WHY we fear […]
Sort of speaks for itself, for those who did not get the see the lovely blood moon this past weekend, here is a version of it in real time, shot by N.A.S.A. Still pretty dang cool. Did seem like it was in an awful hurry for an eclipse, though. [Via Laughing Squid]
The many worlds theory is astounding, and if you are on the site, you probably already know what it is. Crash course for those who don’t, we are on an infinite web of timelines, where each one plays out differently due to simple variables like decisions and timing. While many people (like ME) like to […]
Throughout history there have been strange moments that have happened that have been ensconced in mystery since they were first spoken of in hushed stories passed down from generation to generation. Did the first marathon runner really drop dead? Could Mary Shelley’s griping origin story for Frankenstein actually be true? While we may scoff at […]
We all know the earth could essentially be destroyed in a multitude of ways. We just like not thinking about it. We prefer to just imagine this rock floating in space with no issues whatsoever. If you are one of those people who doesn’t want to think about it, don’t watch this. For the rest […]
Say what you want about the Mythbusters guys, but they are nothing if not impressive. Lately, they have taken up some pop culture myths and have been working magic with them (the Simpsons episode being just one), but this time, Adam Savage does something mind-blowing (as if the stuff he normally does isn’t or something).
