Fire water balloon. I bet you didn't hear such key-phrase. In this amazing video, you will see one of the most amazing science experiments of all times. Do you think if you place a balloon on top of a candle burning, what will happen? Surely, it will explode. But what if you fill the bottom of the balloon with water and try the same? Just watch the following science video to know the answer..

Fractals : Hunting the Hidden Dimension DVD

2010-11-30T07:19:00.000-08:00

I found the Nova science video documentary about fractals to be amazing. Being a non-math individual I found the show participating and totally easy to understand. My twelve yr old appeared to comprehend almost everything also. (This is simply not a documentary for elementary grade aged youngsters.)

If you do not know exactly what it is, fractal geometry is a distinct geometry than traditional or plane geometry. Fractal geometry is placed on 3d objects. That is about the most straightforward description I can provide.

A very important factor I enjoyed concerning the subject material and development of the show is that at first it appeared really abstract and perhaps insignificant to the layperson's life but the show definitely demonstrated how fractal geometry is applicable to contemporary living and has uses in the real life. When they revealed that fractal geometry were utilised to manufacture a brand new mobile phone antennae which makes them more functional for customers all over the world it was explained that understanding of fractals is essential to everyday life. It was said that technical engineers can use this new data in every day applications.

An additional account of curiosity was that the highest tree in a jungle was studied. Dimensions were taken of its trunk area and branches and the fractal geometry computations were in positioning with its height and width of growth. Of further fascination was exactly the same statistical calculation harmonized the structure of the entire rainforest, the distribution of the other trees, small trees, the width and size of the jungle was all in conjunction with the fractal geometry computation.

The documentary is sold on Amazon

2009-08-21T02:07:00.000-07:00

The cool science video you are about to see below is not a science fiction at all. It shows how a fungi genus known as Cordyceps invade the body of ants cuningly slowly to spread amongst the whole insect society. Most ants colonies are aware of this issue and try to deport the suspected victim of Cordyceps out of society.

In the end of the video, you can see how the final invasion of several hosts is really disturbing which represents the wildness of the nature.

Impressive TED Talk about Bacteria Communication

2009-04-09T03:00:00.000-07:00

Well, we have very well heard about the communication and defensing, feeding as a society in most animals but this new discovery is rather strange. Even stranger than Water Bears. It is not just fascinating but also will imply new ways to understand life of microscopical creatures. Bacterias which coordinate their society to develop defenses against attacks using chemicals. Here is the video about this interesting topic by Bonnie Basler, a professor of molecular biology at Princeton University.

Oxford Uni Solution to Sorting Galaxies and Stars

2009-02-19T06:22:00.000-08:00

There are millions of galaxies and countless stars. The problem is how to sort it scientifically according to several properties, shape as being the primary.

Astronomers of Oxford University developed a great idea and website implementation of it. You can help astronomers explore the universe by browsing these galaxies and sort it according to their parameters.

Up to now more than 150,000 people have participated in classification process at the Galaxy Zoo website. Here is the video talking about this idea and its implementation.

Firewalking Experiment by Skeptics

2008-12-18T14:10:00.000-08:00

Awaken your inner consciousness, meditate and visualize a circle of power around your body to resist fire. Hmm... at least for some meters because the following video destroys such paranormal explanations by lengthening the process just a few meters more. I remembered an idea which claims that there is no paranormal or normal activity difference at all for all times. Today's paranormal will be the tomorrow's normal after we discover the reason behind the mysteries.
