• Lightening fast Mozart minuet combines music and science for the win

  If you blink you’ll miss this brilliantly-executed, lightening-fast, Mozart minuet. The “concert” happens in about 10 seconds flat. The set up clearly took FAR longer. But relax, the World’s Fastest Orchestra were kind enough to give us a slow motion replay. Bonus, it’s all kinds of cool and sciencey at the same time. Mozart would […]

• Capturing the Grand Canyon from the edge of space…

  Photographer John Flaig takes photos from space. But he never leaves the ground. He’s one of the pioneers of a new kind of photography that uses helium filled weather balloons to send cameras up to the edge of space. The resulting photos are incredible. But you don’t have to trust me, judge for yourself. Below […]

• Gotta see new POV video of Baumgartner space jump…

  Back in October 2012 with the words “I’m coming home now” Felix Baumgartner made his incredible leap from a balloon floating 24 miles above the Earth. I don’t know about you, but I was GLUED to my screen that day. If you were watching you know that Felix broke the sound barrier… with his BODY… […]

• I’ve got the fever for Particle Fever…

  Yup, it’s true, I’ve got the fever bad. I’ve ALREADY been perhaps a little too excited about the upcoming release of the documentary “Particle Fever,” and now physicist and filmmaker Mark Levinson, and his team, have fanned the flames by releasing their official trailer. The film is going to give us a front row seat […]

• Sing your science for the win!

  Hold the phone… just hold the darn phone… We have an all scienced-up version of Bohemian Rhapsody here… done A Capella no less…. and I’ve been too busy to have noticed it before now?!? Sure, there’s a whole lot of sciencey name dropping like string theory, quantum physics, Baryons Fermions and Feynman diagrams. But that’s […]

• Can a spider’s mating dance be adorable?

  I know, it’s probably not a question that’s kept you up at night. But still, it’s a good one. “Can a “scary” spider’s mating dance actually be cute?” Two words. HECK and YEAH. Because my reaction to watching this little guy… an Australian Peacock spider… dance his tiny little spider tushy off was just that… […]

• Jaw dropping “meteor explosion” captured on film

  Photographer and artist Michael Chung took some time-lapse video of the Perseid meteor shower. That alone would have been worth watching. After all it was sure to be some beautiful footage of a rare event. But when he reviewed the video he was stunned at what he had accidentally captured. Chung had shot footage of […]

• The story of physics animated… BAM!

  I TOTALLY “stole” this from those cool kids over at Neatorama.. ’cause that’s how I roll. And because… well they found it first. So go take a spin around their site to make up for my thievery. Now back to bizness. This is an awesome little animation on the history of physics done by our […]

• Recording your dreams…fact or fiction?

  Not gonna lie…this kinda blew my mind. (Not to mention tickled my brain a bit because I think I’ve read something about it…and probably posted about it…before). Hm, I wonder if I will dream about it tonight. Or if it will be electric sheep again.

• Mind officially blown by World’s Smallest Movie…

  Holy heck…the world’s smallest movie (Guinness says so, so it’s gotta be true, right?) is made of atoms! No, really. This teeny tiny stop-motion film “A Boy and his Atom” (you silly nanophysicists you) was made by moving single atoms around. Yep, THOSE atoms. Atoms are, of course, the smallest known particles of any element […]
