The Order Of Operations Is Wrong, Or At Least Ambiguous

May 192013

Most web users have received at least one chain email or Facebook posting which contained a simple looking arithmetic problem that seemed to always produce two very different answers. Eventually, the comment section becomes a screaming match over how to properly execute the order of operations.

But, according to Minute Physics, the order of operations is wrong, or at least ambiguous. Even when properly following the Order, problems such as 8-2+1 or 6/3/3 leave the solver with multiple answers.

He explains that the order of operations isn’t wrong, per say, just that it’s an inefficient form of problem solving.

The True Science of Parallel Universes

Apr 042013

Henry Reich, of the popular science based educational channel Minute Physics, starts his newest viral video with, “Everyone loves the idea of parallel universes.”

And it’s true. Just look at how many famous Hollywood movies and TV shows that are based on the impossible premise of travelling to an alternate reality just like ours, only a little different.

But is there any true science behind the idea? Actually, there are three proposed physical models that could hypothetically explain parallel universes. Of course, none of the hypotheses have been tested yet…

Already, the new video has over 650,000 views, and over 25,000 likes.

The Universe Explained In Regards To A YouTube Video

Mar 152013

The observable universe is 93 billion light years across. But how big is that really?

For comparison, Minute Physics says to imagine this 1920×1080 YouTube video had just one white pixel among all black ones. Then string those pixels side by side and squeeze them into the size of one pixel. And then do that again. And again.

That tiny dot that’s left after all the squeezing and compressing? Yea, that’ us compared to, not the rest of the universe, but just one tenth of the observable universe.

Chilling.

What Is The Universe?

Feb 182013

It’s a simple question that is actually far more complex than it seems. What is the Universe? Science obsessed Minute Physics delves deep into the abstract world of physics that most never knew even existed to answer the multi-leveled question.
