How to STEAL Elon Musk’s Space Car
Adults Physics
What would it take to steal the only road car currently crossing the cosmos? Kyle outlines a villainous plan that he totally doesn’t approve of.
Making Liquid Nitrogen From Scratch!

We're working on a time-series problem called a Sequence Classification.
Why Earthquakes Are So Hard To Predict
Adults Physics
Scientists are trying to figure out if they can predict big earthquakes by simulating small quakes in labs and studying big quakes under the ocean. Thanks to the University of Rhode Island for sponsoring this video.
How Microwaving Grapes Makes Plasma
Adults Physics
A bisected grape in the microwave makes plasma. But how does it work? A grape is the right size and refractive index to trap microwaves inside it.
Are Negative Ions Good For You?
Adults Physics
Do negative air ions improve mood, anxiety, depression, alertness?

Adults Physics
April Jennifer Choi is a Mechanical Engineer and Professional Whip Artist from Peoria, IL. She has a Master's Degree in Computational Fluid Dynamics as well as several Guinness World Records in Whip Cracking.
The Best Test of General Relativity
Adults Physics
A launch mishap led to the best experimental confirmation of gravitational redshift.
This Particle Breaks Time Symmetry
Adults Physics
Increasing entropy is NOT the only process that's asymmetric in time.
Which Way Is Down?
Adults Physics
Vsauce host Michael Stevens digs deep into the ever-changing concept of the direction "down," what causes things to fall, and digs into how masses really, really want to pull towards each other in our universe, thanks to gravitational forces.
Einstein's unique way of thinking contributed to his genius
Adults Physics
Robbert Dijkgraaf is a theoretical physicist and Leon Levy Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is also the co-author of "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge." In this video, he explains how Albert Einstein saw the world in a different way from how most scientists see it.
What if the Earth were Hollow?
Adults Physics
What if there were a tunnel through the middle of the earth and you jumped in?
