  • This equation will change how you see the world (the logistic map)
    E1
    This equation will change how you see the world (the logistic map)The logistic map connects fluid convection, neuron firing, the Mandelbrot set and so much more.
  • Parallel Worlds Probably Exist. Here’s Why
    E2
    Parallel Worlds Probably Exist. Here’s WhyThe most elegant interpretation of quantum mechanics is the universe is constantly splitting
  • Turbulent Flow is MORE Awesome Than Laminar Flow
    E3
    Turbulent Flow is MORE Awesome Than Laminar FlowEveryone loves laminar flow but turbulent flow is the real MVP.
  • The Launch of Perseverance to Mars
    E4
    The Launch of Perseverance to MarsThis was a pretty extraordinary experience - thanks to NASA for inviting me! The Atlas V 541 rocket took off carrying the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity the Mars helicopter at 7:50 am July 30, 2020. They should arrive in about seven months on February 18, 2021
  • Half the universe was missing... until now
    E5

  • How Kodak Exposed The Atomic Bomb
    E8
    How Kodak Exposed The Atomic BombKodak detected the first atomic bomb before anyone else figured it out. Then they made a deal not to tell anyone. Thanks to HBO Max, and their new show raised by Wolves for sponsoring this video! https://rb.gy/alghwn
  • The Infinite Pattern That Never Repeats
    E9
    The Infinite Pattern That Never RepeatsSimples rules of geometry meant that 5-fold symmetry was impossible as were crystals without a periodic structure. This turns out to be wrong.
  • Why Gravity is NOT a Force
    E10
    Why Gravity is NOT a ForceThe General Theory of Relativity tells us gravity is not a force, gravitational fields don't exist. Objects tend to move on straight paths through curved spacetime.

  • How One Supernova Measured The Universe
    E11
    How One Supernova Measured The UniverseIn 2015 astronomers successfully predicted the appearance of a supernova within a couple weeks. How did they do it?
  • Do You Expand With The Universe?
    E12
    Do You Expand With The Universe?As the universe expands, #expanding #space is said to "stretch" photons. But if it stretches photons, does it also stretch molecules, galaxies and you?
  • Why no one has measured the speed of light
    E13
    Why no one has measured the speed of lightPhysics students learn the speed of light, c, is the same for all inertial observers but no one has ever actually measured it in one direction.
  • These are the asteroids to worry about
    E14
    These are the asteroids to worry aboutSteven Hawking thought an asteroid impact posed the greatest threat to life on Earth. Thanks to Kiwico for sponsoring this video.
