Internet Commenter Business Meeting

This is what a business meeting would be like if people talked as if they're posting comments on youtube/blogs.

Monty Python - Ministry of Silly Walks

Monty Python - ministry of silly walks
by Van_Lock

John Cleese is awesome!

Atheist

The video shows the value of critical thinkers, as well as their contributions to our society. And I love the song! As for agnosticism, some say that agnostics are really atheists who havent made up their minds yet. They may be right. I don't think there is much difference, and whatever difference there may be is highly academic. In the end, agnostics, atheists, skeptics, rational thinkers, free thinkers, or what have you, all challenge the notion of god, faith, and religion. And that is a good thing. I am a proud "fool." And this "fool" says that whosoever wrote the Bible is a fool.

Morality and God: Are atheists less moral?

A nice little video about morals.

Flight Of The Conchords - The Humans Are Dead

This song about robots and the death of mankind happens to feature the best binary solo ever. I have to check more of these guys out. That was one of the most awesome songs I have ever heard.

Is There Free Will in Christianity?

I know a christian who does not believe in Hell because it would be unfair. She believes that those who don't go to Heaven simply cease to exist. Yes, ok very well then, it certainly is more humane but I fail to see how it is more fair.

Alan Watts - Work as Play

A nice philosophical point of view about work as a play. Alan watts seems to pop on my finds, but I think this talk is a little more rational then the rest, less Buddhist fanatic.

The Eastern philosophical point-of-view states most of the time that you can't separate anything from anything else, and that we are one (This can also be applied to time, where a man can't step in the same lake twice, because nether are static). I think its a good guideline to understand what he talks about.

Candletastic - The invisible force

This would be awesome as a science project.

A Really Lucky Person

That was sheer humanity at its most raw.

A guy wins a car with a scratch off lottery ticket. So... the media wants to film a recreation. He goes into the same store and buys another scratch off lottery ticket. And wins $250,000 Australian on camera. So emotional, he just about breaks into tears and asks, "Please don't film me.". Awesome moment caught on camera!

Einstein's Equation Of Life And Death (E=mc2)

A nice explanation of the E=mc^2 equation as well as its reprecussions on the world.

Prehistoric Japanese Goblin Shark ALIVE

There are two ways to make something awesome: 1)Any animal from the deep ocean 2)Any animal which retained primitive traits when both are fulfilled, you get fucking awesome.

Kucinich: Bailout Driven by Fear Not Fact

Kucinich asks the right questions. I'm not sure why he even mention the bears and bulls of wall street though, it seemed to make his point less serious.

The Hubble Deep Field: The Most Important Image Ever Taken

A great little youtube clip that tries to bring some meaning to the ungraspable numbers behind what the Hubble telescope tells us about our universe. Watch this, feel very small, very liberated, and remember to put things into perspective the next time you're feeling weighed down by life. The music, if anyone's wondering, is some kind of onstrumental version of Christy Moore's 'Ride On'.

We are not alone

I've suddenly acquired microbiophobia. If you're realllllly curious as to why, then you too should watch this. I actually saw it when it aired. Fascinating that something can be so tiny and still be alive.

Hammer Juggler

This is one of those things that just amazes. It seems impossible.

Rat monster

On VH-1's Scare Tactics, a PETA activist is brought into an animal testing lab where a little person dressed up like a "rat monster" pounces at him from a cabinet, scaring the living shit out of him. Lots of set-up, but pretty decent as far as practical jokes go.

Barack Obama and Religion

This is why I'm voting for Obama. Finally a candidate that has the balls to talk to the public about religion like a grown up.

Linux Beauty

Linux beauty indeed! For those who love Vista or Mac OS X because of looks, tons of spiffy effects, etc., this video is to show that with certain user interfaces and a load of cpu&memory resources to spend, Linux wipes the floor with other OS's on this area *also*! Even though personally I use extremely minimal UI made with only efficiensy and lightness in mind and save resources for other purposes, I still love to watch this and admire it.

Giant Girl Doll

Awesome video of a gigantic lifelike doll parading through the town. The song in the background is so soothing as well. It was freaky when she was licking the lollipop though. That was a crazy tongue. The memory of getting to ride on the arm of a giant girl will probably be engraved in their minds.

Jesus

Jesus
Enviado por klpprr

Funny little thing featuring everyones favorite fictional character. I wonder how many of them actually were convinced it was Jesus.

Repair CDs with a Microwave!

Why do I have the feeling that some idiot is going to take this shit seriously and actually try it?

Money As Debt

Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.

The video shows us the benefit of not taking out loans, but it also points out that we should be hoping that everybody else is making loans till their wrists sound like cementmixers. The principles of economics that I thought I understood were based on the thought that the government had control over the monetary system in the economy. But because the banks can make money appear, the applicability of these principles has diminished.

This should be required knowledge to everyone. Now I am tempted to ask why no one does anything about this?

Zeitgeist

I saw this movie for the first time about 6 months ago and have since been recommending it to tons of people I know. It's a great movie and so important. Watch this movie, let it challenge what you believe and start seeking out the truth for yourself. You don't have to agree with all of it's conclusions but at least open your eyes and start thinking about this stuff. A must watch conspiracy movie. Fast forward the first 10mins though, it's just thumping music and pictures of weapons!

Terence Mckenna: Reclaim Your Mind

Culture is not your friend. Avoid being a half baked moron and reclaim your mind and experience the felt presence of direct experience. Mckenna kicks ass. Watch this video.

Invention: fire fighting turbine

It would use less water than expected. It uses very high pressure, breaks the water into extremely small droplet size. The small droplets will remove the heat from the fire and smother the fire much faster than larger quantities of water in a straight stream.

Convert to water powered cars

Yes, that's right, as you may have seen, the Japanese have recently revealed another H2O powered car. This technology is very simple and people are already converting their cars to save themselves from the prices at the fuel pumps.

Chris Langan

Interesting to watch but being smart is not necessarily the same as being right. I can understand where he is coming from and how his view of the world has developed from his negative experiences and a desire to do good with his abilities. He is probably smarter than me but I still think he is plain wrong about certain things. I think he overreaches himself to extrapolate that his high intelligence quotient in regards to logical deconstruction and ability to form an internally consistent memeplex upon his own conceptualisation of belief in any way validates said belief-system as being consistent with reality and the fruits of humanity's extelligence. Yes, I know how that sounds but it just had to be said. Everyone is your superior in some aspect Chris, and intelligence is not exactly quantifiably measurable.

Dane Cook - Vicious Circle

This is just so fantastic. Takes a bit to get to the punchline, but it's delicious.

Millennium Simulation: "The Largest Model of Our Universe"

Astronomy + Pink Floyd = good times. Over 8 minutes so make some popcorn, crank it up and enjoy.

Total Immersions Augmented Reality Demo

At first I thought it WAS holographic material, thegnome is right, a tad misleading. However its still pretty damn amazing. I consider myself part of the tech age and pretty up there with most of it but I have to admit that was quite fascinating even to me.

Logical Fallacies

I never understood why formal and informal logic with appertaining fallacies and proper argumentation are not required subjects in school. The Greeks, who invented democracy, recognised that the ability of every participant to hold proper discourse is an essential requirement to a democracy. Why have we forgotten this fact?

Penn & Teller - The Bible is Bullshit

This show could have been a hundred hours long if they went cover to cover.

Jeff Hawkins: Brain science is about to fundamentally change computing

To date, there hasn't been an overarching theory of how the human brain really works, Jeff Hawkins argues in this compelling talk. That's because we still haven't defined intelligence accurately. But one thing's for sure, he says: The brain isn't like a powerful computer processor. It's more like a memory system that records everything we experience and helps us predict, intelligently, what will happen next. Bringing this new brain science to computer devices will enable powerful new applications -- and it will happen sooner than you think.

ABB FlexPicker Robots

Not only was this cool, it was very hypnotic. Who needs humans anyway?

Foul-smelling fungus wears delicate skirt

A short video about some of the plants and fungi of a Thai rain-forest.

Hackers In Wonderland

Awesome documentary on how and why hackers do what they do, and the application of "white hat" hackers in todays society. For anyone that has a general interest in the internet and hacking, really a must see.

Fungi in the jungle

Absolutely riveting short about parasitic fungi, cordyceps in particular. Amazing time lapse shots. At first I said "Yeah, like I want to watch a 7 minute movie about fungus!" But then, it was cool! The time-lapse showing shrooms growing and the parasitic fungi driving the insects crazy: awesome!

Dan Dennett: A secular, scientific rebuttal to Pastor Rick Warren

He brings up some valid points. I really liked it!

Darth Thriller

Darth Vader & The Stormies dancing to 'Thriller'. Star Wars fans will love it.

Richard Dawkins - Atheists

I admire and respect this man. Soft spoken and articulate, Richard Dawkins is a wonderful speaker for atheism. It's a shame CNN didn't include him or someone like him when they first had a panel concerning atheism. "It's a precious life, it's a beautiful life."

Atheists people are sometimes the most hated and descriminated against, but what exactly have we done? No threats or negative acts of any kind. Kind of nearsighted. Ever heard of an Atheist terrorist?

Bill Maher - Bye Jerry Falwell

This is the funniest eulogy ever.

The Amazing Screw On Head

Love Mignola! I hope they go ahead with this show, the pilot here is great. Screw-on head is a great 22 minutes well spent.

"The pilot episode from The Amazing Screw On Head, created by Hellboy creator, Mike Mignola. This is from the comic of the same name."

Goodbye to the Normals

Amusing short film about a very peculiar little boy who tells his parents he's running away.

Judgment Day - Intelligent Design on Trial

A very good documentary on the Dover Trial. I have to laugh when the religious lie and issue death threats when they are questioned who otherwise pretend to be all about peace and love! The US has some great traits, however, creationism and desperation to cling onto biblical scripture as truth is embarrassing to say the least. It is more dignifying to know that we are an evolved species who share a common ancestor with the great apes, who can use tools, problem solve and use mathematics than to be told (lied to) that we come from dirt off the ground.

People can turn to their religion to try and solve their insecurity over their insignificance, but the moment they try and force it onto susceptible kids is religious extremism in my book. If "Intelligent" Design is being taught in schools as an alternative, I suggest islam/paganism/atheism/Greek mythology be taught in churches, as christianity isn't the only theory right? Anyone who can watch this and think, "Gee, that there Intelligent Design is some swell scientific theory right there!" is entirely beyond help.

Christopher Hitchens vs Al Sharpton on Atheism and God - The Full Debate

I thought Hitchens was excellent, making point after point about how ridiculous, damaging and immoral a belief in god can be. On the other hand, Al Sharpton's entire argument is: we are here, therefore God. Or maybe it's more like: you can't prove or disprove god, therefore god.

David Cross - SPPK and The Bible

Gotta love the mix of David Cross and atheism. Not much beats making fun of the lunacy that is religious belief.

The Story of Pi

Brilliantly clear explanations. If you are scared of maths, this is for you. Watch it 20 times and play around with pen and paper. It kinda bothers me that the video didn't last 3:14.

Biefeld-Brown Effect

The commentary is misleading to say the least. But the footage is very cool. Just turn off the sound and watch that sucker fly/hover. Meanwhile consider that this may become a feasible way of aeronautics if we perfect a cold-fusion engine or something similar, which will put out enormous amounts of high-voltage and still be mobile. We could finally have those nifty flying cars seen in the sci-fi flicks.

Funny Magic Trick - Barry and Stuart

Barry and Stuart show us a disturbing glimpse into a troubled stage-magician's dreamworld.

Sachiko Kodama: When I Met This Material

Astonishing. I generally do not like "modern" art but this is phenomenal and it is most definitely art. What a beautiful way to combine art with science. Kodama's odd phrasing could be seen as funny but, instead, it makes the entire thing more fascinating. This is a must watch video.

Free Energy - The Race To Zero Point

This world is going to change rather we like it or not. I am ready to see it before I die. I want to be part of it some how. I am sure we all have some ideas own. I am willing to try some of mine after watching this video.

Obi Wan Kenobi buys a used car

Me, my apprentice, two droids, and no questions asked. Very well done Star Wars bit.

Future of Health Care

This is a very interesting speaker about the future biotechnical industry. As boring as that sounds, it is a very interesting and entertaining presentation. He talks about drugs that slow down aging and things such as that. Very interesting to me.

Neil deGrasse Tyson - Stupid Design

Neil deGrasse Tyson slicing and dicing arguments made by supporters of Intelligent design. Dr. Tyson's reasoning is clear, direct and funny without being mean.

Creme That Egg!

That? Was awesome. Someone actually took the time to set this up and calculate everything. Way cool.

Supersaturated Solution Crystalization

A seed crystal is dropped into an unstable supersaturated solution of sodium acetate NaC2H3O2 and it completely crystallized in front of your eyes. The solution is then cooled back to room temperature. Drop a seed crystal and see the very cool results.

Friggin genius

When you're a little kid, your mind is a sponge. It's got plenty of room to absorb stuff. Of course this kid has no idea what K is REALLY for. All he knows is that when mommy says K, he says Phosphorous. This is like teaching kids their ABC's and really isn't that much harder, however at this stage, it's still only rote learning. Keep it up and by age 5 he'll be able to write out chemical equations and figure out the reactant from the product...

Sarcoman Robot Playing Air Hockey

I think training robots to improve their (robotic) hand-eye coordination is a top-notch idea, which very possibly will not have hideous reprecussions for humankind. Also, air hockey is fun.

Sam Harris at Idea CIty 05

Absolutely brilliant. Religion has caused more harm than good since it's inception. It's only after more people realize that religion should not be a cog on the wheel that drives our societies, will we truely find peace among peoples.

mPHASE nanobattery

The newly invented nanobattery, interesting video.Safer for the enviroment,sounds good but is it really? This seems to be a sales pitch, and realistically it will take 10+ years for this to really become commercially integrated.

Microwavable Grape Plasma

Cool trick of putting a grape in a microwave. I've done this myself many years ago when I worked in a resturant. Was fun, but also a little scary as I didn't realise it would light up that much.

Secrets of the Sexes

Fascinating video about the differences between men and women and how that is reflected in our brains. I surprised myself by watching the entire 50 minutes without a break. A video has to extremely interesting for that to happen.

Einstein Condensate

Not many people realize that there are physical states beyond liquid gas and solid.

Carl Honore: Slowing down in a world built for speed

Friends, family, nature, sundown, life... Is something that should be enjoyed at your own pace, not rushed through.

60 Minutes with Stephen Colbert

60 Minutes with Stephen Colbert
Enviado por Meowbay

Wow. An out-of-character interview with Stephen Colbert. I think, after viewing this video, that my adoration of his talents has just skyrocketed. Usually, we get the Colbert that is on the show -- obnoxious, heavily conservative, etc. This video shows Colbert as, well, a normal everyday guy. Major kudos to him. I think I'll tune in a little more now.

The Song of the Count - Lemon Demon Version

My sister sent this to me and I couldn't stop laughing. It's funny how just some bleeps can make a totally clean song so dirty!

Response to: Atheists have faith, just like theists

Atheist responds to a caller to his show. Clear and satisfying arguments are given by the host, and the caller, who is not persuaded, is an excellent example of the droves of members of our society that deal in some very fuzzy logic. Watch this to the end to hear the caller's best argument.

Funniest Catchphrase Ever

I bet the people who did up that animation knew just what they were doing - especially when deciding which boxes to show! That's brilliant.

Space Based Solar Power - Alternative Energy Solution

This is great. But since when have we had technology that is both 'not imaginary' and has the ability to transfer energy collected from space, at a near loss-less rate to earth without large costs?

The last time a wireless energy transfer was recorded was 33 years ago in 1975 at the NASA GPO Goldstone demonstration. And that was enough power to light up some lamps at about a mile away. None of the that takes into account the massive distance, atmospheric resistance or accuracy of a transfer from space to earth surface.

CNNNN: Holy Homosexuals

Religion and those who exploit it sicken me. I saw this a long time ago and it's just as funny today as it was then. I especially enjoyed how Jensen tried to switch the topic to something unrelated when he knew he couldn't defend his beliefs. Fantastic.

The Boy with the incredible Brain

The classic documentary about Daniel Tammet. If you are like me you have probably seen it more than once, but if you are like me you do not mind rewatching it at all. I know I am smart but I am but gust of wind in Danial Tammet's hurricane. It makes me wonder exactly how far in each direction his intelligence actually extends beyond his areas of expertise - maths and languages.

The world's next superhero: Mr. Indestructible. Man walks away unscathed after a lorry crushes his car - with him still in it. Fucking hell!

Non Newtonian Fluids

It is a simple matter of creating a flexible armor to use against rubber bullets and other damaging supression weapons being used against citizens.

Ricky Gervais - Hitler interprets Nietzsche

I wish more people knew about Nietzsche not being a Nazi in the least. Maybe I'll just have them watch this video from now on.

Nietzche on Hardship - Philosophy: A Guide to Happiness

Nice little presentation on an aspect of Nietzsche's philosophy.

Space Based Solar Power

Solar power from space, explained in pictures over a mere minute. Simply, beautiful!

Chris Rock - Religion

This video has lots of retarded people. But Chris Rock ain't one of'em.

Richard Dawkins - The Enemies Of Reason

Richard Dawkins talks with peddlers and skeptics of supernatural and paranormal products and services. The documentary focuses on the supernatural and paranormal as dangerous and as shoddy parodies of reality.

I love this. To me, Richard Dawkins has become synonymous with the new atheism movement, but here he takes on a different role. He's targeting irrational superstitious thinking. I agree with his position too -- astrology, paranormal witch doctor idiocy is just as dangerous as blind religious faith.

Alan Watts - The Human Game

I love Alan Watts. Life is musical in nature.

An Atheist Response

An Atheist Response
by Albert10110

This fellow is truly a pleasure to listen to. Sure, none of what he said has not been said before, but so what? He said it well and I am sure there are still people who need to be told.

Dead Deer Prank

That has got to be one of the funniest pranks I have ever seen. Please bring back The Man Show!

Why do people laugh at creationists?

I enjoyed every single minute of this well thought out, exceedingly erudite and even handed presentation on why creationism is such a dangerous and fallacious crack-brained theory. There is nothing but applause from me to the people who create this series.

Batman Keysi Demo

A gritty, fast new style of martial arts that is used very effectively in the two Batman films by Chris Nolan.

Penn and Teller Bullshit! Creationism

An interesting and wry look at the controversy regarding Evangelical Creationists in Georgia trying to get their theology taught in public schools. I guess nobody mentioned to them that you can literally see evolution occurring with your own eyes, such as in the case of viruses evolving resistance to antibiotics, or in the form of entirely new species of organisms being witnessed evolving in numerous lab experiments across the world.

Search for Spock

This is so stupid and geeky I just had to post it.

I am an atheist

Personally, I think religion is a state of mass delusion and an evil we can do without who's primary purpose is a tool of the oligarchy to segregate people by ideological beliefs and who's secondary purpose is to violently defend any contradiction or opposition to those beliefs despite claims to be peaceful and/or beneficial. I look forward to when all religions are slowly phased out of human consciousness by the expansion of knowledge...Religion needs to be debated. There is no religion in the world with a core document that is free of self-contradiction, free of scientifically proven falsehoods and/or has for within the entirety of its dogma free of concepts which have withstood the cultural test of time.

Monsanto Patent for a Pig

First it was Merck pharmaceuticals, who tried to patent the tree (sorry, I don't remember the name of the tree, but it is easily researched, as this case actually made it to the news and I think it was Time Magazine) which had been part of Indian culture and valued as a medicinal tree for 4000 years. Most of the farmers of India grew the tree for its extraordinary medicinal properties. Merck applied for a patent on the tree which would prohibit the Indian farmers from ever growing the tree without paying Merck. Fortunately enough people, including the Indian Government complained to the Swiss Court and the patent was denied. So now comes Monsanto, doing precisely the same thing. Only this time they take aim at a domesticated animal, a pig, which farmers have raised since time immemorial. What is to stop them from patenting everything else in the world. As the farmer in this film says, "If they are allowed to get away with this, then, they can also patent air and sun. It is unconscionable. This is why the extreme forms of capitalism have been challenged by communism and socialism in the first place. Greed has been classified by the Bible as a deadly sin for a good reason. These companies need to be put out of business for the savagery of their Crimes Against Humanity in the form of capitalistic practices. Like thieves in the night, they hide their actions and intentions. The news media once again, failed to bring this matter to the attention of the public. The people I have spoken to who agree with this are very defensive about it. Which means they are not entirely convinced of its rightness. Somewhere they know they are criminals who are manipulating the law. The court which granted this patent should be sued by the people of the world, for confused thinking. We will go to war with these criminals who are working against the interests of humanity and we will win. In South America the people have organized against Bechtel, an American firm which tried to buy up the water rights of their town. The mayor and the city council were to have made a profit in kickbacks from Bechtel for their help in securing the water rights. Bechtel brought in it own army to subdue the population and the army murdered several people as they were protesting. In the end, Bechtel was defeated and kicked out of that little town in Peru. But we must look at the kind of criminal thinking which Greed is inspiring in corporations.

Beef: Its Whats For Dinner

Beef! The future's at steak!

Sarah Palin Song Moose Shootin Blues

Have I stated yet today how much I despise Sarah Palin? Well just for the record.... I despise this woman.

A.J. Jacobs

"Raised in a secular family but increasingly interested in the relevance of faith in our modern world, A.J. Jacobs decides to dive in headfirst and attempt to obey the Bible as literally as possible..."

Test firing of new NASA methane rocket engine

NASA test firing a methane rocket engine. Holy shit... This is one of the most awesome looking engines I have seen in a long time. I wonder what its actually performance stats are. Tight mach diamonds and a very nice sound. Would be interested to see an actual article about it.

Genetic Engineering on Children has already begun

Yes, I remember these news. Where are you from? I have seen similar stories in the media on several occasions. It's not like they are trying to hush it down. They're just not exposing the children and families for obvious reasons. The first human clone was also born a while ago. A couple had a son who was an exact clone of the father. It's not exactly legal in most places but if we have the means are available you can bet your arse that somebody somewhere is doing it.

Uncle Chuck

Up close and personal with Uncle Chuck's gaping facial cavity. Fascinating and pretty uniquely disturbing. Not sure whether to feel sorry for the guy or to glory that such people exist and have such good humour.

When Robot Programmers get bored

At times I thought he was gonna bump his head on the ground. Still cool though!

Egyptian Maths

How to multiply and divide by adding. Interesting. I knew some of this already, but not all of it.

George Carlin - Airline Announcements

George Carlin - Airline Announcements
by PigLips

George Carlin does it again. This time, in regards to the airline industry, he shows how people brutalize and bastardize and just generally annihilate the English language in hopes of appearing more intelligent! I love how he touched on "near miss." We use this in my industry, as well, and even though everyone will state how the usage isn't appropriate, we STILL use it.

Why Atheists Care About YOUR Religion

An important video, I'd like to see it as a commercial broadcast to everyone, about 8pm tomorrow night.

Interesting Body Facts

Hairs can be mechanically broken as well as digested in acid. Hair is simply keratinized epithelium, the same stuff in rhino horns, bird feathers, and lizard scales. I found it delightfully informing, sprinkled with just the right touch of humor. Captivating.

Alkali Metals

Actually, we were allowed to do lithium, sodium, and potassium in grade 11 chemistry, in real life, and by ourselves. As I recall, one group put a large chunk (half-gram, I think) of potassium in their beaker. There was a small (though loud) explosion, and the classroom filled with smoke. Amazingly, the beaker remained intact.

The Octapult

I could watch a video of this for hours on end.

How Superconducting Levitation Works

6 minute introduction to superconductors. Incredible video about the future of travel.

Mousetrap reactor

Very nice example of a chain reaction.

Feynman: Take the world from another point of view

This is a good one, I have seen a lot of his videos that have been posted around the net.

Cool Computer Program

An amazing new GUI and physics simulation, utilizing pen & paper functionality with a very nice computer interpretation. I'm very curious to find out how many different functions this program has, and how easily you can program them in. This would have made me much more interested in physics in high school.

Waking Life

A boy has a dream that he can float, but unless he holds on, he will drift away into the sky. Even when he is grown up, this idea recurs. After a strange accident, he walks through what may be a dream, flowing in and out of scenarios and encountering various characters. People he meets discuss science, philosophy and the life of dreaming and waking, and the protagonist gradually becomes alarmed that he cannot awake from this confusing dream.

Parallel universes

Parallel universes may not be merely a fanciful notion of science fiction any more. The expansion of the gravitational singularity at the beginning of our universe might have been a quite common collision of 11th dimensional M-branes onto which we are bound by vibrating strings. I find it quite fascinating and immensely disconcerting at the same time.

What do you think these scientists are attempting to do? If they find a graviton or a sparticle that would be a prediction of M-theory coming true, which would lend it a lot of credibility. They might even be able to create a pocket-universe under controlled conditions in the laboratory.

Enthalpy of a Chemical Reaction

Amazing demonstration of a very fast oxidation reaction which produces amount of enthalpy equivalent to slow oxidation reaction.

Simpsons: creationism vs evolution

simpsons creationism vs evolution

Why can't all judicial decisions be rendered by the people of Springfield? Oh, what a hilarious judicial system that would be. Very excellent episode of the Simpsons and a happy ending for both sides. I love their accurate portrait of Kent Hovind.

Elephant toothpaste

Elephant toothpaste is the name given to the catalyzed decomposition reaction of 30% hydrogen peroxide that uses soap to collect the oxgen gas that is produced. It is a favorite of most students at chemistry shows. Watch the video and see why.

The Quantum Apocalypse of The Holographic Universe

Holographically speaking we aren't what we think we are. We create our own particular reality from the soup of chaos.

Horizon What on earth is

I'm such a dork, I *love* this documentary!

Mr. Smiths Liquid Nitrogen Demo

This is just like the dry ice bombs people make only no water is involved. Once it heats up, it expands quickly and BOOM...

I'd be just like the chick at the end saying "Do it again!"

Unwise Microwave Experiment

Why be content with zapping CDROMS or inflating marshmallow peeps, when you can turn glass bottles into molten lava?

Würsa (18 000 Km from earth)

Sculpture by Daniel Firman. Shows what an elephant can do at 18 000 Km from earth gravity, with the help of a taxidermist.

Pelagic sea slug

Can't believe something so cool looking could possibly be a slug!

John McCain Gets BarackRoll'd

I wonder what % of McCain supporters get the reference, and what % of Obama supporters get it. Watch the video, it's pretty epic.

Laser Flashlight Hack

Turn your flashlight/old DVD player into a laser that can burn stuff. This is awesome but very dangerous, you could blind someone easily. Still pretty cool though. Finally, a use for all those unused drives I have lying around...

Great animation, interesting story, but I really like the steam-punkiness of the whole thing.

MediaCoder awarded CNET editors choice of free software

Great video from c|net on free software that is equally powerful to many priced softwares out there. Long live open source.

Gloomy Bear

Gloomy Bear introduction from BBC series, Japanorama.

10 Toys that made you Gay

Yeah, I'd have to say when I saw each and every one of these toys advertised I thought they were for sissy boys (or girls, which was more acceptable but probably meant they turned into drama queens instead of just queens).

Actually most of those toys were incredibly short lived... Like they advertised it for 6 months to a year and then they faded out. The "Leon Neon" Stuff especially was a short lived fad.

As for the Oozinator, there's an animated gif out there that makes fun of it perfectly... two of em actually. One with Baloo (the Bear from "The Jungle Book") and the other with Prince Adam/He-Man.

Cream On experiment - Watch cream and Tia Maria react

Very strange. I wouldn't have expected the reaction it got. It almost looked like a fractal or something. Mandlebrotish or close to it.

Disposal of Sodium, 1947

A 1947 newsreel of the US government dumping sodium in a lake in Washington and watching it explode. Wow. And you can see men standing around inhaling that stuff. If you've got to get rid of 20000 lbs of highly volatile sodium, the best place to dump it is in a lake.

Homemade roller coaster

A video of a homemade roller coaster a guy put together in his back yard. I kept waiting for him to fall and crush his skull. No such luck.

Raw sodium in water

Is this what chemistry nerd kids played with in the '50s?

Acetylene Explosion

This guy is always doing interesting and exciting experiments in his lectures. Here he demonstrates the explosive reaction of acetylene with oxygen and then explains why it occurs. Everyone loves teachers like this guy and rightfully so.

Magnesium and Carbon Dioxide

Microwave Plasma

That guy came close to being a runner for the Darwin Award.

Force dynamics

Now this is the way to play driving games. Just think, that setup is only probably slightly more expensive than driving a real rally car, but I imagine the repair bill after the race more than makes up for the initial cost.

James Randi debunking on Tonight Show

I love this quote from the video, and I totally agree with it- "I want to be aware as i possibly can. That means that I'd be giving up a lot of fantasies that might be comforting, in some ways, but I'm willing to give that up in order to live in an actually real world, as close as I can get to it."

Drunk Tilted Room

May I introduce you to Shaun Micallef. The most hysterical man in the world. May I also point out that no, it is not British comedy, it is Australian comedy. I usually wouldn't give a crap, but it's because he's so good and the facts should be right when people are interested in his work.

Something Wicked this way comes

Shocking video! It argues for the case that our sun is in a binary star system and this second sun periodically sweeps comets from the Oort cloud towards the inner solar system. The scary thing is that reports of meteorites and fireballs have been heard frequently lately. This is definitely worth following up.

A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Mystery song

Oh, seriously now. It's just genius. A comedy genius at the height of his talent. By 'at the height of his talent', that means simply 'awake' for ol' Hugh Laurie.

Tales Of Mere Existence: "How To Cope With Depression"

Everyone should see this who tries to offer advice on how to deal with depression without understanding it, or for anyone who has been on the receiving end of it. It is funny too.

Unnessary Censorship

Man, I remember the first Uncessesary Censorship I saw on Kimmel. That was awesome, and it never lost its shine.

HAIL - The Return of the Sun

I love this promotion for endless solar power. Photons are bombarding the earth.

People are strange

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE (REMI GAILLARD)
by nqtv

Great little flashmob. They stayed in character and kept it reasonably brief so they didn't start annoying the guy. This kind of art that comes to the people brings back some magic into our every day's life, since it lets irrational things happen.

Land slide

A landslide caught on a traffic camera. You start to catch your breath about the time the first clump of 30 foot tall trees crosses the road like a forest of Ents. Pretty horrifying, but cool to watch.

Nanotechnology

I did a lot of research in school on nano tech. This innovative science is going to shift our lifestyles big time in the coming future.

Marble Mathness

A mechanical binary adding machine that operates with marbles. Gotta admire that design, it's simple and brilliant. Now this is just too cool!

Spiral Slips out of Wormhole in Tomsk Russia

Either a convincing computer job, a semi-secret aircraft, or somebody gave their camera LSD.

The roots of the matrix

This documentary, which features Dan Dennett, David Chalmers and Ray Kurzweil, examines other philosophical aspects of The Matrix, such as simulated computerized environments, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence.

Ali Baba Bunny

Wiki-facts on the Ali-Baba Bunny.

Namibia - Genocide and the second Reich

It is history that I never knew about until now. My only question is why the producer claims this to be the first genocide of the 20th Century. My understanding has been that the word genocide was originated in the 30's as a way to describe the attempted extermination of Armenians by the Turks.

Humanity Lobotomy Save the Internet

Net neutrality, what does it really mean to you and me? That's what this video clearly explains. The future and freedom of we cyber citizens hangs in the balance. Get informed about net neutrality and get active to save free and unfettered access to the world wide web. Once you understand, pass your knowledge along to others who may not understand what is at stake.

Time dilation experiment

Yes, physics can be bizarre, but it is true and Einstein is once again validated.

Brian Cox: What really goes on at the Large Hadron Collider

From TED - Discussing the biggest of big science in an engaging, accessible way, Brian Cox brings us along on a tour of the massive complex and describes his part in it -- and the vital role it's going to play in understanding our universe.

Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins gives a great interview on Real Time With Bill Maher on HBO. They discuss a bit about those who are not only not atheists but do believe in the biblical stories, taking them literally. They also discuss Richard's book, called 'The God Delusion'.

Pixar Lifted

When an overconfident teen alien gets behind the controls of a spaceship, he must attempt to abduct a slumbering farmer under the watchful eye of a critical instructor. But abducting humans requires precision and a gentle touch, and within a few missteps it's painfully clear why more humans don't go missing every year.

Network - Television is a goddamned amusement park

Over 20 years old and more true now than ever. Turn them off, people. Kill your TV! A very eloquent monologue given by Howard Beale.

Power of Art

Video on the press conference following Colin Powell's lies to the UN Security Council - his excuses for the American invasion of Iraq, ('evidence' of WMDs etc). For the press conference a Reproduction of Picasso's Guernica was covered up. A brilliant and telling detail well exposed.

Looking At Breasts Experiment

What's better for you: 30 min exercise or 30 min looking at breasts?

Tour Through Reality

A short tour through the visible universe that we can see so far.

207 people freeze

Absolutely amazing video of 207 people freezing in place for 5 minutes in Grand Central Station. Must see!

Focus Fusion: The Fastest Route to Cheap, Clean Energy

May be the best fusion process so far! There is a convergence of technologies here. Bussard is my sentimental favorite, but this sounded very good on the presentation to Google.

Human v2.0

It's predicted that by 2029 computer intelligence will equal the power of the human brain. Some believe this will revolutionise humanity - we will be able to download our minds to computers extending our lives indefinitely. Others fear this will lead to oblivion by giving rise to destructive ultra intelligent machines.

One thing they all agree on is that the coming of this moment - and whatever it brings - is inevitable.

The amazing singing road of Anyang

I just found about these singing roads, plastic bumps are laid on the asphalt that "sing" when your tires run over them. They're supposedly a speed detection device.

Sharon Osbourne on Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin is disgusting. Any woman that supports her is disgusting as well. A woman who is anti-woman has no business being anywhere near legislation that could affect the women in this country. She should go back to Alaska, bury her nose in her stupid Bible, and leave well enough alone. What an embarassment to women, no, to human beings.

A Brief History of America

A very brief history of America centering around gun control. It's hilarious.

Palin's Psychotic Religious Problem

Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow discuss vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's outlandish religious beliefs regarding oil pipelines, Iraq, and homosexuality. Palin must be stopped. I don't want anything resembling her near the white house.

BBC Large Hadron Collider - The Search For The Higgs

On November, 2007 the most complex scientific instrument ever built will be switched on. The Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions in the early universe. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe. Within these first few moments the building blocks of the Universe were formed. The search for these fundamental particles has occupied scientists for decades but there remains one particle that has stubbornly refused to appear in any experiment. The Higgs Boson is so crucial to our understanding of the Universe that it has been dubbed the God particle. It explains how fundamental particles acquire mass, or as one scientist plainly states: "It is what makes stuff stuff..."

The Search for Ultimate Energy

Excellent documentary about how entrepreneurs are building the green energy alternatives of the future. A great look at energy design of tomorrow.

AntiGravity Physics Explained

Did the research for this along time ago, a good grasp of the main points for a ten minute video.

WL-16RIII walkbot

This kind of robot looks like it could be very helpful for those people who can't get around very well.
