Walking on a liquid… ?
Doable… if you have a lot of faith… or simply a lot of custard!

A neat little experiment using newton’s third law, friction and circular motion… …showing that gravity and hard concrete are not always an unconquerable combo. But I don’t think I’ll give this one a go… at least not today 🙂
Xtreme Soccer Physics
Science and Soccer and not as unrelated as you think! Here’s Roberto Carlos using some highly ingenious and precision physics to fool everybody… Looking forward to some more magic like this on home-turf, coming soon…
Time Warp
Phenomenal to think that our experience of reality is so affected by the pace of our perception and the speed of our senses. Imagine it differently… More to come.
Powers of Ten
Absolutely mind-blowing!!! The Universe is giganticly massive… Sub-atomic particles are minisculely tiny… And we live comfortably somewhere in the middle! (Sorry Elmer… but that music is shocking!)
