Humans tend to imagine advanced alien civilizations building spaceships and traveling between galaxies. But what if true progress means thinking smaller? Kurzgesagt explores the Barrow Scale, which measures progress by the ability to manipulate tiny structures. Controlling things like atoms and molecules might be the true key to mastering the universe.
What If Animations creates time-lapse videos that envision hypothetical events over the course of time. In this clip, they show what it might be like if everyone were going about their business and the Earth’s rotation slowed to a crawl and stopped. Going from 1037 to 0 MPH isn’t pretty. They also envisioned what it
Would you rather be chased down by Chucky, a Demogorgon, or the Alien Queen? This animated video from Vani Plaku’s Red Side answers that question and more by comparing the running speeds of 49 iconic monsters from movies and TV.

In this video by Steve Mould, the science educator shows how a vibrating device can make various objects stick to a ceiling like a suction cup. The physics behind the experiments is truly fascinating, and the results are surprisingly effective. But first, a brief lesson about Bernoulli grippers and how they work.
After watching this video, we assumed that plucked guitar strings vibrated in smooth, undulating curves. But minutephysics shows how that’s not actually the case. It turns out that the waves that are generated are straighter and more angular, and the sine waves we’ve seen in videos before are mostly due to rolling shutter artifacts of
While space probes have traveled as far as Neptune, humans have only gone as far as the Moon. It’s incredibly hard to send people into space, and as Kurzgesagt explains, it may be impossible for us ever to visit other galaxies. If we don’t die during the years it takes to get there, collisions with
Death Cab for Cutie’s track “Stone Over Water” paints a picture of aging, feeling stressed, and masking it all. Director Sean Solomon’s charming animated music video uses playful imagery to reflect that story with a heartwarming message about empathy and human connection in times of struggle.

Drake Anthony, aka styropyro, shows off a fascinating light source that he created by vacuum-sealing mercury and neon gas in a glass flask.

Writer-director Jonathan Munoz’s short Void is a dark science fiction film about a future society where human brains live in synthetic bodies to protect them from disease and imperfections. They’re also programmed to suppress their suffering. But when a son starts to experience symptoms of the illness that took his mother, he starts to question
