The First Three Minutes of Creation - Professor Joseph Silk FRS

The essence of life as we know it was produced in the first three minutes after the beginning of the universe.

By this, I mean the stuff that we and the Earth are made of, particles of matter that we call baryons. But well before the baryons were created, the universe began from virtually nothing. There was empty space, and time, but no more. Yet within instants, thanks to the occurrence of quantum fluctuations, it attained its huge size, homogeneity and isotropy. The universe is enormous, it is relatively uniform when we smooth over the galaxies, and it looks the same in all directions. More remarkably, during this enormous inflation of space, the universe very early on developed the seeds from which all structure eventually formed.

2. Space without time, and time without space.

3. Jump space could be linked to the Unified Field Theory.

What's the truth about antigravity?

Antigravity is a key part of many science fiction and UFO reports, but it’s an idea that is potentially scientifically reputable and scientists at CERN, Fermilab’s sister laboratory, are investigating possible connections between antimatter and antigravity. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln covers both the fact and fiction of this interesting topic.

Earth Lost Almost All Oxygen 2.2 Billion Years Ago, But Why?

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about new discoveries in regards to Great Oxygenation Event.

1. Considering the timescale, the current number of human habitable worlds across the galaxy might be suspicious.

2. Someone might have had a wide scale terroformation programme, a long time ago.

How the Edge of Our Galaxy Defies Known Physics

How is it possible that you can't see 95% of the universe? The edge of our milky way defies known physics, so physicists are using the LHC at CERN to search for Dark Matter.

I Made A Water Computer And It Actually Works

Computers add numbers together using logic gates built out of transistors. But they don't have to be! They can be built out of greedy cup siphons instead! I used specially designed siphones to works as XOR and AND gates and chained them together so they add 4 digit binary numbers.

Star Wars: Inside the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT)

The All-Terrain Armored Transport walker, also known as the Imperial Walker, was a major part of the Galactic Empire's motor-pool.

Carrying a vast amount of firepower and being heavily armored, the A T- A T was arguably the most feared and effective land vehicle in the Imperial Army and enjoyed a long life span, from the Clone Wars to the Second Imperial Civil War, over 150 years later.

Designed for the dual purpose of crushing and demoralizing enemy forces, and also serving as a transport for Imperial troops and light vehicles, the AT-AT was among the most astonishing vehicles in the Imperial Army's inventory. Hundreds of these walkers were produced during the Galactic Civil War, and its intimidating and powerful presence often earned it the distinction of being the first vehicle into a combat zone.

Could You Make A Space Suit From Duct Tape?

NASA has used 'gray tape' to solve a few problems in space, but the season 2 finale of 'For All Mankind' includes a scene with a pair of astronauts improvising a pressure suit from oxygen masks and duct tape. And it turns out that this isn't as ridiculous as you might imagine, a pressure suit doesn't need to provide atmospheric pressure, but mechanical pressure and the strength of material required is well within that provided by off the shelf tape.

1. Time of useful consciousness.

2. One bar; sounds like a boring neighbourhood.

3. Armstrong limit.

4. Under pressure.

5. Partial pressure suit.

6. So that's how those penile pumps work.

7. Duct tape suit and tinfoil hat.

Star Wars: Inside the AT-TE Walker

The All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) was a multipurpose military ground walker used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

They boasted six legs, six laser cannon turrets along the body, and a heavy projectile mass-driver cannon on top.

The All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer was a low-built vehicle that featured six articulated legs for propulsion.

Built by Rothana Heavy Engineering, the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer became the principal battle tank of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

Its body consisted of two armored halves that were connected by a flexible concertina section, which increased the walker's mobility on the field; it was essentially a mechanical version of the arctic horny whelmer, a hardy animal native to Rothana.

Because its legs were low to the ground, the walker had a relatively low top speed, but it also enjoyed greater stability.

Space Tourism Is Getting Cheaper, But Oxygen Isn't Guaranteed

Technology around space travel is accelerating at a rapid pace. As a result, we may soon see a future where one doesn't need to be an astronaut to travel the stars. But there's a long line of legal and safety logistics to be met before we can all start booking our personal space voyages.

5. Million miles tested.
