In which NASA wins at Gangnam Style parodies now and forever. Everyone else go home.
Crying.
This is beautiful.
It’s amazing that with the growing popularity of social media, large, traditionally professional groups/businesses/etc. are doing things like this. It absolutely blows my mind.
It turns out that exploding bubbles of hydrogen filmed at 16,000 frames per second are one of the coolest things on Earth.
This is part of a study of the fluid dynamics of various explosive mixtures of hydrogen and air. The video talks a lot about the idea of “buoyancy”, which for flames and explosions relates to their ability to push out and displace the air around them, use up all the available fuel, etc.
Of course, if you’re not into the science side of it, just skip ahead in the video to about 1:20 and then pick your jaw up off the floor.
As per PhysicsPhysics recommendation, immediately stop what you are doing, and watch this video in 1080p in full screen. We promise you will have no regrets!
After extensive peer review, the Higgs Boson has finally become actual science.
CERN has not confirmed this is the Higgs Boson, but:
“… as the Standard Model of particle physics only has one undiscovered particle remaining, it probably is the Higgs boson.”
There is also the outside chance of it NOT being the HB, so what happens then? How does a Higgs-less universe come about? Who knows?
All that means is we would have to come up with a new method of physics to explain how particles acquire mass.

Avogadro’s number is about twice the number of stars in the observable universe.
:O
I love coincidences like this.
One of my favorite little websites, Lists of Note, published this gem. It gives the “rest of us” a peek into the mind of a genius. He may have looked at his personal life in a similar way to his work.
By 1914, Albert Einstein’s marriage to his wife of 11 years, …
Is this for real? haha
Redheads may become extinct by 2060.

I was going to scream no but as I was reblogging this I saw the update :d
This. Holy crap.
Using small electrodes to bypass damaged photoreceptors, this new technology can help give partial sight to those who have lost it.
All the space shuttles in one launch
A new liquid injected into the bloodstream can oxygenate your blood without the need to breathe for 15 - 30 minutes.
This could have massive implications and uses, even outside the medical world.
This was actually a very interesting read.
Covers predictions from 36000 years ahead, all the way to 10^10^10^10^10^1.1 years into the future.
