- Lenticular lenses can be used to blur images along a single direction
00:00 - +, Σ, and ∫ are just different evolutions of the same Pokémon
- A physically accurate simulation of what would happen if the moon collided with Mars

- physics vocabulary to make u sound smart: • instead of "basically", say "to a first approximation" • instead of "this is hard", say "this is highly nontrivial" • instead of “I have a schedule conflict”, say “I am constrained by temporal boundary conditions”
- Replying to @bencbartlettWe’re both huge nerds and I wanted to do something unique for the proposal, so I designed this hexagonal mirror thingy. The mirrors are angled so that just before sunset on our 8th anniversary, it reflects the light from the setting sun onto the ground to spell “MARRY ME?”
- As stars burn hotter and hotter, they go from looking red to orange to yellow to white to blue... But why are there no green stars?👇 [1/4]
00:00 - Turbulent air flow around the landing gear of a Boeing 777X. This took over 1 million processor hours to simulate. SC17 demo: nas.nasa.gov/SC17/demos/dem…
00:00 - Neat demo of conservation of angular momentum using a Hoberman sphere!
