What The Physics?!

BREAKTHROUGH: Watch the first ever video documenting this live dialogue between scientists and someone dreaming. @novapbs & @WTPhysics were given EXCLUSIVE access to film this groundbreaking research that was published TODAY: youtu.be/7M06fJxiayo

Witness a hungry, color-changing cuttlefish take part in an oddly adorable, psychological test originally designed for children. From @gkestin @novapbs youtu.be/m0CZ6quPyls

NEW VIDEO! youtu.be/LlYdjWP77Sg Einstein thought it impossible: a ball rolling uphill! This new experiment shows, for the first time ever, a ball can actually defy gravity.

This spinning toy demonstrates why Hurricanes spin: the Coriolis effect! youtu.be/6L5UD240mCQ

This illusion tricks your brain into slowing down time. And it can help explain REAL time dilation, thanks to the constant speed of light. youtu.be/I_JJUvW9kD4

The universe has many well hidden secrets, but it also left us one incredible clue: redshift! youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8Qyw…

Even if you could live forever, you would forget everything. youtube.com/watch?v=_iPSCN…

Hint: it doesn't look like this ⚛ youtube.com/watch?v=6Wwuvc…

If you could use a different kind of news right now: Young stars create orbiting clouds of tiny diamonds, which we can watch spinning from light years away. greenbankobservatory.org/press/diamond-…

The way we think of black holes might be in for a radical change ... again: geekwire.com/2018/way-think… H/T @WorldSciFest @bgreene @tdechant @WTPhysics @novapbs

Astronomers are convinced these are the 2 major players in the universe. Dark matter, pulling the universe together, & dark energy, pushing it apart. They’re engaged in a cosmic tug of war that will determine nothing less than the fate of our universe. @Dr_TalithiaW #NOVAWonders

What is the mysterious substance ripping our universe apart? youtube.com/watch?v=clA9WR…

You thought protons were old hat? Nah. Protons are seriously bonkers. sciencenews.org/article/proton… My article in @ScienceNews.

Could you ever make a perfect copy of your brain? Perhaps...but not without a price. youtube.com/watch?v=7x7r9n…

@DrMilks What an awesome assignment! I'm so happy to hear that we helped inspire you!

"Space and time form a system of such staggering complexity that it may defy our most ardent efforts to understand." via @nature to.pbs.org/2G4192G To learn more, check video "360° Dive into a Black Hole," courtesy of @WTPhysics: to.pbs.org/2G4xztF

What would happen if a black hole swallowed the Earth? 1. Could Earth just get deleted from the universe? 2. Could information somehow escape from behind the event horizon? 3. Or did it never truly fall in in the first place? youtube.com/watch?v=JNp0ad…
