Let's Sing! Spring is Here, After All
So, I’m off to the park a little later on today …
Antigravity Perfected
Of course, the real explanation here is that this is a stroboscopic effect, aka the wagon wheel effect — the rotor speed and the film speed are matched (to some ratio) so there is no apparent movement of the blades for each frame of the camera.
Try it yourself and alias your monitor’s refresh frequency
Laser Illusions
Two fun things that taste great together.
Is it Jason Latimer, or only someone that looks like Jason Latimer?
Random Nonphysics Video
Two punchlines come to mind.
1. Take away his credit card.
2. I don’t have to drive faster than the elephant, I only have to drive faster than you.
Please Don't Do This to My Windshield
Making Lichtenberg figures. First video seems to be with an external discharge
This video is using an internal charge. Mind you, absolutely anyone who has a large particle accelerator at their disposal can do this.
(HA! Take THAT, Cool Chemistry!)
A Physics Rebuttal
OK, after linking to some cool chemistry, here’s a physics demonstration that involves flames.
Amazing Feat of Aerodynamics
And remember, Penguins is practically chickens.
The Ralph Mellish Effect
Scarcely able to believe his eyes, Ralph Mellish looked down. But one glance confirmed his suspicions. Behind a bush, on the side of the road, there was *no* severed arm. No dismembered trunk of a man in his late fifties. No head in a bag. Nothing. Not a sausage.
And now for something completely different: a water balloon not exploding in high-speed
