Lighted Match Under a Glass in a Microwave

Aurora from Space

From space, the aurora is a crown of light that circles each of Earth’s poles. The IMAGE satellite captured this view of the aurora australis (southern lights) on September 11, 2005, four days after a record-setting solar flare sent plasma—an ionized gas of protons and electrons—flying towards the Earth. The ring of light that the solar storm generated over Antarctica glows green in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, shown in this image. The IMAGE observations of the aurora are overlaid onto NASA’s satellite-based Blue Marble image. From the Earth’s surface, the ring would appear as a curtain of light shimmering across the night sky.

Michael Moore's SiCKO

Updated: July 1, 2007. SiCKO is back on Google Video.

Updated: Michael Moore is not OK with his movie being pirated. Making money is still more important than getting the message out. The video below no longer works.

SiCKO is a documentary film by Michael Moore, scheduled for release on June 29, 2007. It investigates the American health care system with a focus on the behavior of large health insurance companies and contrasts the U.S. system with those of other countries with universal health care coverage.

Via his blog, Moore requested "Health Care Horror Stories" from the public in an effort to share his view on the health care industry.

When asked about this movie, Michael Moore said, "If people ask, we tell them SiCKO is a comedy about 45 million people with no health care in the richest country on Earth."[3] On April 19, 2007, Moore announced on his website that Sicko had been selected for the 2007 Cannes Film Festival where it had its world premiere on May 19, 2007. Moore also announced a June 29, 2007 release date for the U.S. and Canada.

Vector Physics

What happens when a ball is thrown out at 100km/h from the back of a truck that is moving forward at 100km/h? Well, if you know your Physics 101, you'd know the answer. If not, watch the video. And maybe even if you do know, watch the video too, cause it's just cool!

Falkirk Wheel

The Falkirk Wheel, named after the nearby town of Falkirk in central Scotland, is a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The difference in the levels of the two canals at the wheel is 24 metres, roughly equivalent to the height of an eight storey building. The structure is located near the Rough Castle Fort and the closest village is Tamfourhill. On 24 May 2002, Queen Elizabeth II opened the Falkirk Wheel as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations. The opening had been delayed by a month due to flooding caused by vandals who forced open the Wheel's gates.
