A more sciency YouTube classic from ACapella Science.
Bohemian Gravity.


The Molecular Shape of You.

Lots more on the link above.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Fairy tales (even if done with blasters and 'glow sticks') are supposed to provide 'clean' villains and heroes: no big bad wolf with weak spot for children (erm...) and no hero with a thing for leather, chains and whips.

It comes only later when these things can be broken down and complexity comes knocking.

So, this one is for adults.

A classic that's a little too close to today's events.
The movie depicts a nuclear missile detonation in the Ukrainian city of Donetsk from rogue agents in Turkey.
 
Fail Safe was an intense movie. Too bad we didn't learn the lesson that it was preaching.
 
There is a specific type of youtube videos: The Daily Scary

Somehow, selling fear is a flourishing business. Honestly, these kind of videos are usually quite dumb and many of the authors are just too lazy to invent anything new so half baked conspiracy theories and stale crackpottery is the norm - people can grow numb very fast, and that's just good.

That is, till you find a real classics of engineering what makes you scared :wink:



(I had to pick one from the channel which cannot be considered as advertising or harmful - if you are in need of some 'daily scary' then feel free to check some others too o0) ).
 
I got a mail from a friend today about a very cool personal aircraft*:

Jetson ONE - Official Launch

Meet the Jetson ONE.
Jetson ONE is an ultralight and extremely fun to fly recreational all-electric personal vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Test pilot: Tomasz Patan - Founder & CTO at Jetson



* Though I would prefer they put safety cages around the "blade engines" (or what they are called).
The vehicle is also pretty expensive, ca $92000. I would love to try one of these, though. :smile:

to keep them from hitting vegetation would also be good.
