The Big Bang, the ten dimensions explained

science, Technology, Video, , , ,

!INTERESTING ALERT!  WATCH THESE VIDEOS AND YOUR BRAIN WILL GROW AND EXPAND EXPONENTIALLY.

Well, maybe it won’t, but still.  These two videos are highly interesting and worth watching.  The first one features astrophysicist Janne Levin explaining her model of the Big Bang theory and the potential ways it may have occured.  The second video discusses the ten dimensions in great detail, integrating the notions of space and time.  Although it is explained in layman’s terms with situational examples, the concepts can be difficult to entirely grasp.  I’m telling you, though, it is worth the 11 minute trip.  Sit back, relax, and get learn’d.

Teaser trailer: James Cameron’s Avatar

Movies, Technology, Video, , , , , , , ,

A teaser trailer for the highly anticipated CG/live action film Avatar has been released.  Although I am looking totally forward to this movie, I am disappointed in the teaser trailer.  It did not reveal any plot line whatsoever, and more importantly it did not pique my interest.  Director James Cameron (Titanic) is looking to shift the way films are made by introducing 3D to mainstream cinema in a way it has never been experienced before.  After the 2D teaser trailer was released, eager fans of the upcoming film got the chance to watch 15 minutes of 3D footage at their local theatres.  Initial reactions were not so good.  Moviegoers do not seem to be convinced that Avatar will revolutionize film-making like Cameron believes it has the chance of accomplishing.  However, I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that the final product turns out to be a success.  It definitely has stiff competition now with a CG/live action film like District 9 blowing me away in standard 2D.  Avatar comes out on December 18.

Patricia Heaton dumb at math on Millionaire

Hilarity, Television, Video, , , , , , ,

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” with Regis Philbin is back with brand new episodes on ABC.  The end of each episode is saved for a special round where a celebrity sits in the hotseat to answer one question for $50,000; that money will go to the celebrity’s charity of choice.  Here we have Everybody Loves Raymond’s Patricia Heaton who receives a simple math question.  Her initial reaction and the way she handles the question is HA-larious, and quite sad.  Funny thing is, I’d probably have the same reaction if I saw that question…

Freezing Mentos in icecubes to make explosion labeled hoax, pranksters cry everywhere

science, Video, , , , ,

The folks at Steve Spangler Science have finally shut and bolted the door on the famous prank that if you freeze Mentos inside icecubes and place them in Coke a crazy explosion will follow.  Everyone knows that if you put a Mentos by itself in a cup of Coke a chemical reaction will occur.  However, the sneakier ploy of freezing them inside icecubes and then dropping them in Coke, waiting for them to melt and create a mess does not work.  Check out the video above to see for yourself and find out why.

Hilarity, Video, , ,

If you can remember the 2009 MTV Movie Awards you may recollect the comedy segments that included movie mashups from Star Trek (Starf Leet Clown College) and the Lonely Island skit.  The creative genius’ behind those segments are FatalFarm, and they recently uploaded to YouTube the leftovers that MTV decided not to air.  The mashups come from the movies Star Trek, Wolverine, Batman, and Sex in the City.  They are laugh-out-loud hilarious and highly enjoyable.  Check it out in the video above.

Blow your light on and off

The Blow On Blow Off light switch does just the trick for all you lazy folk.  A single breath of air directly in the switch will turn the light on and off, no worries!  Think of it like The Clapper, only it’s your breath not your hands doing the work.  It doubles as an ordinary, finger-flicking light switch as well.  If only Billy Mays was around to promote this; rest in peace, buddy.  Check out an image of the product after the break.

Shortly after being announced today at GamesCon, the two most exciting new software ventures on the PSP (and the upcoming PSP go!) have revealed themselves in video form.  Take a look for yourself above; the 100MB bitsize digital download-only games look great, and the Marvel comics reader with the “Autoflow” panel changer looks promising.
