Gravity Compilation
Maybe you'd like to just hear about one topic for a while. We understand. So today, let's just watch some videos about Gravity. We'll learn about why we don't fly off into space, what mass has to do with it, how does air resistance work,...

5 Unusual Places to Look for Life | Compilation
From "superhabitable planets" that can potentially sustain life longer than earth to rogue planets that don't even orbit a star, we’ve talked about some strange places that could host extraterrestrial life over the last few years. Here...

TED-ED: The fundamentals of space-time: Part 3 - Andrew Pontzen and Tom Whyntie
In the first two lessons of this series on space-time, we've dealt with objects moving at constant speeds, with straight world lines, in space-time. But what happens when you throw gravity into the mix? In this third and final lesson,...

Mind the (Solar System's) Gap
Giant disks around baby stars filled with gas and dust provide the material to make all sorts of planets, and new evidence proves that our solar system’s had a massive gap in it! And the water vapor in Jupiter’s moon, Europa, might not...

Gravitational Waves Explained Using Stick Figures
This video is about gravitational waves in the weak field limit as discovered by the LIGO collaboration, explained by parallels to electromagnetic radiation, sound waves, water waves, etc. I want to see Cat LIGO ASAP!

What Will Happen to The ISS?
After more than two decades buzzing around above our heads, the life of the ISS will soon be coming to a close. But what does that actually look like? And what does it mean for the future of space experimentation?

TED-ED: What are gravitational waves? - Amber L. Stuver
In September 2015, scientists witnessed something never seen before: two black holes colliding. Both about 30 times as big as our Sun, they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. A fraction of a second before the crash, they...

Free-Body Diagrams
In this video Paul Andersen explains how free-body diagrams can be used to solve kinematics problems. The only two parts of a free-body diagram are the object and all external forces acting on the object. Numerous situations are...

Using Galaxy Clusters to Look Into the Past
Gravitational lensing has given us a look at a galaxy in the very, very distant cosmic past using x-ray light, and NASA finally got its ICON mission off the ground!

Dark Energy
The universe is huge and getting bigger all the time, and we have we have dark energy - the most mysterious force in the universe - to blame/thank for it. Thought to make up more than 70% of the energy in the whole universe, Hank...

TED-Ed: How far would you have to go to escape gravity? - Rene Laufer
Every star, black hole, human being, smartphone and atom are all constantly pulling on each other due to one force: gravity. So why don’t we feel pulled in billions of different directions? And is there anywhere in the universe where...

How To X-Ray A Black Hole
Black holes are everywhere, including at the center of our galaxy. But because they’re invisible they’re quite difficult to study. Looking at the disks of material surrounding them, however, can give us tons of clues about how they...

Why Do Neutrinos Have Mass? A Small Question with Huge Consequences
Neutrinos are weird. But all the big unsolved problems in physics are somehow connected to one unsolved mystery: Why do neutrinos have mass?

Making a Realistic Simulation of the Sun
We’ve created simulations to recreate the difference in time it takes for the Sun’s equator and poles to complete rotations, and the way we’ve solved is a bit surprising. And it looks like the Milky Way may not be great at mixing metals,...
