What Happens If You Destroy A Black Hole?
Adults Physics
Black holes can destroy everything – but can they be destroyed? What happens if we push physics to the absolute limits, maybe even break it and the universe in the process?

It's not just you—in-flight turbulence really is getting worse.
The Figure 8 Knot Has Never Failed. Why?
Adults Physics
Modern roped rock climbing, one of the nerdiest sports, relies almost entirely on a single type of knot for safety: the figure eight knot.
The Weight of “Nothing” Could Mean Everything (to Physics)
Adults Physics
Deep in a Sardinian mine, researchers are constructing an experiment that hopes to solve what's known as The Worst Prediction In The History of Physics, and pin down the true identity of dark energy.

Scientists Reveal How Time Travel Is Actually Possible
Adults Physics
Is it actually possible to travel through time? Scientists say "Yes", but what does that actually mean?
Can you solve the Big Bang riddle? - James Tanton
Adults Physics
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
Adults Physics
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
Adults Physics
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?
Adults Physics
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.
Why Gravity is NOT a Force
Adults Physics
The General Theory of Relativity tells us gravity is not a force, gravitational fields don't exist.
What makes volcanoes erupt? - Steven Anderson
Adults Physics
Dig into the science of how new volcanoes form, and what causes their unpredictable eruptions.
Turbulent Flow is MORE Awesome Than Laminar Flow
Adults Physics
Everyone loves laminar flow but turbulent flow is the real MVP.
GOING SUPERSONIC with U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds!
