Is it Better to Walk or Run in the Rain?

Can You Push Things With Light?

Checkout Brilliant here: https://brilliant.org/theactionlab/

Get your Action Lab Box here: https://www.theactionlab.com/

In this video I test whether or not you can push things with light! I talk about whether or not light has mass. Instead of tying a fly to a string (previous lassoing a fly video), I make an apparatus in the vacuum chamber that can measure the push of light! And if it doesn’t have mass how could it push things, and could you weigh light on a scale?

If you use the information from this video for your own projects then you assume complete responsibility for the results.

Slowing The Speed of Light Down To 2 m/s—What Special Relativity Feels Like

In this video I show you what it would look like to slow the speed of light down to around walking speed. So with just walking around town you would experience relativistic effects.

In this video I actually fly a drone in an elevator to see what happens when the elevator goes to a different floor. Will the drone move with it or stay in its relative position? Then I also try to actively control the drone in order to see if I can keep it in control as the elevator is moving to the top floor! Then I talk about relative speeds and how this compares to flying on an airplane!
