Good that I am subscribed to EarthSky.org. Recenlty I found out that Earth is leaking air, more specifically Hydrogen and Helium. The good news is that we do not leak THAT much and we can still be happy around here for a couple billions years more. Hooray. Usually you would need 11 000 m/s or [...]

The guys at Periodic Videos have created an amazing dubstep music video where they used sounds form the chemistry labs in a well woven string of strange, but beatifull sounds. It is worth every second to watch and listen to this video. So that you know, those guys in the pictures are real chemists and [...]

Hank Green presents in SciShow why Angelina Jolie did mastectomy. Mestectomy is the procedure of surgically removing the breasts and that is a shitty thing, because I like her and ther movies. Too bad to hear that. Hank explains that she had a mutant gene in her DNA that raised the possibility that she could [...]

Michael Stevens from Vsauce has created another amazing video where he explains a bit how we humans can predict or not certain things. Take planet trajectories or solar eclipses for example. They seems easy enough to predict, however it is hard to predict a storm. Micheal also answers a couple of IF questions and presents [...]

I do not watch movies so much for their artistic impression and novelty ideas, as for the action and the thrill. Yes, [...]

Commander Chris Hadfield created Space Odity on board the International Space Station and it is a revised version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. ISS, a “city in a tin can”, is indeed a oddity, because normally humans wouldn’t reach that far away if it weren’t for the passion and drive that made us jump through [...]

Hank Green explains in SciSchow the difference between venom and poison and shares a list of the most dangerous animals that generate toxic substances. Venom, if ingested (eaten) does not hurt you, but poison does. One quote form the video is “It is not the poison that it kills you. It is the dose”. Great [...]

Vsauce aka Michael Stevens explains how the life in space is and what changes our bodies could feel in weightlessness. In outer space, in weightlessness, you can lose up to 40 – 60% of the bone mass, the muscles become weaker and you lose about 22% of the blood in your body. And no, the [...]

Static electricity is an electrical charge that can build up on any objects. Usually it comes up in the form of lumps of electrons cramped together in a given area. Those nasty electrons just wanna hang out with protons from whatever materials they can encounter. Trashy ones, too. HouseHoldHacker presents three nice experiments we can [...]
