BREAKTHROUGH: Watch the first ever video documenting this live dialogue between scientists and someone dreaming. @novapbs & @WTPhysics were given EXCLUSIVE access to film this groundbreaking research that was published TODAY: youtu.be/7M06fJxiayo
Witness a hungry, color-changing cuttlefish take part in an oddly adorable, psychological test originally designed for children. From @gkestin @novapbs youtu.be/m0CZ6quPyls
NEW VIDEO! youtu.be/LlYdjWP77Sg
Einstein thought it impossible: a ball rolling uphill! This new experiment shows, for the first time ever, a ball can actually defy gravity.
This spinning toy demonstrates why Hurricanes spin: the Coriolis effect!

Astronomers are convinced these are the 2 major players in the universe. Dark matter, pulling the universe together, & dark energy, pushing it apart. They’re engaged in a cosmic tug of war that will determine nothing less than the fate of our universe.

What would happen if a black hole swallowed the Earth?
1. Could Earth just get deleted from the universe?
2. Could information somehow escape from behind the event horizon?
3. Or did it never truly fall in in the first place?
