You’re probably not a violin virtuoso. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t musically inclined. In fact, your brain is naturally equipped for music. Everyone inherently understands basic musical structure. The Pentatonic Scale can be used as a powerful example. Here Bobby McFerrin turns an audience into an impromptu chorus. And he does it without any instructions. [...]

Einstein’s cosmic speed limit

The theory of Special Relativity is the basis of modern physics. Einstein used it to elegantly explain how the cosmos works. In part, this theory says the speed of light is constant. It always travels at 186,000 miles per second. But Special Relativity falls apart on very small scales. Something is wrong with it. But [...]

Learning to drive isn’t easy. You have to do many unnatural things all at once. But with practice, most people get pretty good at it. “Most” is the important word there. Some people never seem to get the hang of it. Take a relatively simple maneuver like parking. Most of us can get it right. Others [...]

Commercials have one purpose – to sell you things. So they play up the positives and downplay the negatives. But what if a commercial was actually honest? I mean painfully honest. This one is. And I think it works. Cullman Liquidation sells used mobile homes in Alabama. Owner Robert Lee is one tough dude. And his [...]

Feasts found on Twitter

Do you know what’s all the rage in über-hip Los Angeles? Food carts. Wait, what? Aren’t those the trucks that serve up lunch at construction sites? That’s right. The mobile restaurant has hit it big. And it’s all thanks to Twitter. It started with a Korean barbeque truck known for its tacos. It only comes out [...]

Get the Kleenex ready. This story is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. Just before Elena Desserich turned 6, she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Doctors gave her less than a year to live. And they were right. While battling the cancer, she lost the ability to speak. So, she began writing and drawing [...]
