Quick Health Update on Dianna (Levi typing) Hey everyone, A few weeks ago, Dianna, Kyle, and I tried to film a health update. Unfortunately, Dianna only made it halfway through before her energy started to dip. A few days later, she experienced a crash that she still hasn't recovered from nearly a month later.

100 years later...Einstein was right

512K views · 5mo ago · 2:17

On Feb 11, 2016 Scientists at LIGO announced that they had detected gravitational waves for the first time. In the press conference heard round the world, they showed the tell-tale waveforms indicating that huge event in which two black holes merged 1.3 billion lightyears away, had created waves that passed by the LIGO detectors and were finally heard. Einstein predicted the existence of these waves in his 1915 theory of general relativity.

Are Perpetual Motion Machines Possible?

875K views · 7mo ago · 2:29

A wheel that spins forever; a bird that never quenches its thirst; a clock that never stops ticking, an endless source of free energy. These are but the dreams of inventors striving to make perpetual motion machines, machines that can work forever without any energy input. Are these machines possible without violating the laws of physics? No.

BREAKING the laws of physics!

When light passes through the universe and is redshifted by the expansion of space itself, how is energy conserved? The stretched light has a longer wavelength and therefore a lower energy. Is energy conserved? If so, where does it go?
