Einstein and The Special Theory of Relativity

How Einstein (& others) discovered Special Relativity.

Pi day (3.14) is Albert Einstein’s Birthday! To celebrate, we’ll explain 4 of his most groundbreaking papers from 1905, when he was just 26 years old.

The World’s Smallest “Pewdiepie”—The Microscopic Writing Experiment

Is it Better to Walk or Run in the Rain?

Will I Get Shocked If I Spray a 3,000 Volt Power Line With Water? Can Electricity Travel Upstream?

In this video I spray a high voltage power line with water in order to see if I get shocked and also check if electricity will travel upstream! I was actually a little surprised with the results and I was very nervous to spray my homemade high voltage power line with water! I talk about the speed of electricity in water and how fast it flows.

What is the Speed of Gravity? The Deleted Sun Experiment

In this video I show you what the speed of gravity is and then show you what happens if the sun suddenly disappeared. What would happen to the orbits of the planets? Then I talk about why some people say that gravity is instantaneous and some say it is not. The software I used in the video is called Universe Sandbox 2.

Solving The Slow Light Paradox

In this video I explain why the light slows down in different materials and how the speed of light never actually changes

Hitting Earth with a Grain of Sand Going 99.9% the Speed of Light

In this video I show you what would happen if the earth were to be hit by a grain of sand going 99.9% the speed of light. I talk about the physics of it and then I try bigger objects hitting earth at near light speeds.

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. I talk about time dilation and length contraction and what it would look like to have it happen to you. Get the simulation created by MIT here: http://gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower-speed-of-light/

Can You Really Shoot for the Stars? Would You Ever Hit Any?

In this video I show you what happens when galaxies collide. I also show you what would happen if you were to shoot a rocket straight into space without turning. Would it ever hit anything? I show you how empty space actually is!

Software used was Universe Sandbox and SpaceEngine

In this video I show you how to make freezing fire that is so cold that it freezes things instead of burns them! I use cooled helium to flow past a high voltage electrode. This is the follow up video to the cold fire video I made last time. Here is that video if you haven’t seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnSRbnvm798
