Newton’s Cradle Using People Wearing Helmets Commercial

Apr 172013

In a genius marketing move, helmet company Shark Helmets made a very real Newton’s Cradle using people. Hanging upside down, five bikers wearing regular helmets recreated the physics of the popular science toy by banging their helmets against each other.

When the first biker is dropped, the kinetic energy traverses across the rest until the energy sends the last biker swinging up into the air.

But here’s the point. Afterwards, they all don Shark Helmets. The Sharks absorb so much shock, the experiment no longer works. Now that’s advertising in action.

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.
