I've always wondered why car windows look weird with (polarized) sunglasses on. I see spots in the back of other car's rear windows, and then I noticed weird streaks and patterns on other windows. Explaining this also uncovers why your phone screen goes dark when you rotate it to landscape mode. The science of polarized light is weird, man.

Why High Altitude = 2x Suicide Risk
Переглядів 670Рік тому
There is an undeniable link between high-altitude regions and depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and unfortunately, actual suicide. And study after study confirms that as elevation increases, these problems become more and more severe. This plagues areas like the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Alaska and others - including unexpected and unrelated regions like South Korea and ...
Hubble Spy Telescope: The 19 Secret Clones of Hubble
Переглядів 73 тис.Рік тому
The Hubble Space Telescope has been hard at work for decades, but it might not be as original as we once thought. There is compelling evidence that the KH-11 category of US spy satellites (which have been around longer than Hubble) are essentially mild variants of Hubble. We'll look at a lot of clues that support this conclusion, and it's a bit of a crazy idea, considering there have been 19 of...
Something We Can’t See Is Pulling Our Galaxy Towards It
Переглядів 466Рік тому
Something is out there. Something unfathomably massive, with enough gravity to pull entire clusters of galaxies towards it. We call that something the Great Attractor. And after decades of confusion by the haze cast from the Milky Way's Zone of Avoidance, we’re pretty sure we finally might possibly know what it is. Maybe. Our galaxy, the local group, the Virgo Cluster, and even the great Laniak...

This moves faster than light. No, really.
Переглядів 36 тис.Рік тому
Light only moves at light speed in a complete vacuum, like empty space. But we don't live in empty space. The light around us is traveling slower than that, but not all of the other matter moves slower than this light. When that happens, weird things result, like the blue glow inside a nuclear reactor known as Charenkov radiation. Business inquiries: rocketsurgerysci@gmail.com www.fourmilab.ch/...

    Oh our imagine is a hell of a lot better than that actually. They can image down to 1 micrometer in resolution. I'm serious. This data comes to me directly from a friend who worked in the 'program' before his death over 10yrs ago. They've had that imaging tech since the 90's.

    You'll notice that the angle of the polarizing filter on your phone is often 45° instead of 90° so that your phone is still mostly visible in both portrait and landscape orientation. Computer screens are usually 90° since we tend to only view them in landscape.

    nice, i bet we use that a lot more in our daily lives then we might realize.(hint hint) homie you SOO need to do a follow up video on it. i really like your thoroughness. you also need to look up "refraction index" and how that stuff moves light in funny ways when you get clever with the material's involved. (and clever layering) light is cool man and there are cidders in the ocean that can see in that way with out sunglasses! cool huh? keep making great content man this was a fun thing to watch. oh and btw, ocean water with different salinity and temp will have different index's and its kinda a kin to seeing the wind, but its water and its more complicated. lol

    Your use of vocabulary is horrible. a spinning skater doesn't 'amplify' angular momentum when pulling in their arms. The angular momentum is conserved. The animations of the Earth spinning are all wrong. The Earth does not have a 23-degree precession- which is what you are showing. Its rotational N-S axis is (about) 23 degrees off of being perpendicular to its orbital plane. Dude, your channel isn't even up to the level of the kid's game "Operation."

    I don't know that the disparity between our military budget and what we're willing to spend on science is "fair" -- or, more sensibly, wise -- but it's the way things are, today. Hopefully, someday, we as a species will learn how to play geopolitics more sensibly, where "prizes" are measured more in terms of a nation's contributions to the global population of humans and not so much in terms of a nation's size or its hoarded resources. But, until then (and maybe even after), war is a reality of life, and so we will continue to spend many times more in preparing for and pursuing war than we will for science. That's just the way things are.

    If you want to invest in space telescopes, ask contractors to build any telescopes they want in SpaceX Starship hulls. We should eventually build enough of them to cover every piece of the spectrum with 2 different telescopes, so we can cross-check our measurements.
