Can you solve the Big Bang riddle? - James Tanton
AdultsHistoryHumanSciencePhysics... It’s moments after the Big Bang and you’re still reeling. You’re a particle of matter, amidst a chaotic stew of forces, fusion, and annihilation.
What are gravitational waves? - Amber L. Stuver
AdultsPhysicsScienceSpace In September 2015, scientists witnessed something never seen before: two black holes colliding. Both about 30 times as big as our Sun, they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. A fraction of a second before the crash, they sent a vibration across the universe at the speed of light that was picked up by the LIGO detector. So what are these ripples in space? Amber L. Stuver explains.
How Distant Galaxies Mess With Our Lives

Why no one has measured the speed of light
AdultsData ScienceEducationSciencePhysics... Physics students learn the speed of light, c, is the same for all inertial observers but no one has ever actually measured it in one direction.
Do You Expand With The Universe?
AdultsEducationScienceSpacePhysics... As the universe expands, is said to "stretch" photons. But if it stretches photons, does it also stretch molecules, galaxies and you? A portion of this video was sponsored by Salesforce.
What makes volcanoes erupt? - Steven Anderson
AdultsNaturePhysicsScienceGeology... Dig into the science of how new volcanoes form, and what causes their unpredictable eruptions.
Turbulent Flow is MORE Awesome Than Laminar Flow
AdultsDesignPhysicsScience Everyone loves laminar flow but turbulent flow is the real MVP.

Making Liquid Nitrogen From Scratch!
AdultsEducationPhysicsScienceExperiments... I used a nitrogen membrane and Stirling cryocooler to liquefy nitrogen out of the air. For this video I partnered with Starbucks to celebrate their Nitro Cold Brew.
Can You Swim in Shade Balls?
AdultsEducationIndustrySciencePhysicsFun... I bought 10,000 shade balls and tried to swim in them. They appear to act like a non-Newtonian fluid: rigid under high shear stress, but they flow like a liquid under low shear.
World's Lightest Solid!
AdultsConstructionMediaSciencePhysicsSpace... Aerogels are the world's lightest (least dense) solids. They are also excellent thermal insulators and have been used in numerous Mars missions and the Stardust comet particle-return mission.
