http://youtu.be/VSxXZOvQwqk Life on Earth has adapted to our 24 hour day, but the Earth’s spin is slowing down. What would it be like to live on an Earth that stops spinning? Watching YouTube Isn’t Helping You Wind Down, It’s Ruining Your Sleep - https://youtu.be/QxA23Fa76Dk Read More: What Would Happen if Earth Stopped Spinning? http://thescienceexplorer.com/universe/what-would-happen-if-earth-stopped-spinning “Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? You can probably guess that it would not result in anything good, in fact, it would be disastrous. If the Earth stopped spinning suddenly, most people on Earth would die. If the Earth slowed down gradually, it would be absolutely devastating, but there is a chance some people could survive.” Baby Moon...

No One Knows Where It Will Hit https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science “China's first space laboratory, Tiangong-1, which translates to “Heavenly Palace,” launched on Sept. 30, 2011, serving as a prototype for the permanent space station China aims to eventually build. But six years after it first went into orbit, the 9½-ton laboratory is expected to meet a fiery and uncontrolled end, hurtling to Earth and crashing somewhere — anywhere — on the planet.” This Is Where The Internationa...

http://youtu.be/aN9tn1E3tDs Interference patterns with particles have stumped scientists for years, but when they put antimatter through the test, they revealed an even bigger mystery. This Is The Only Place Antimatter Can Survive In The Universe - https://youtu.be/XD8Q3Mb1Q4I Read More: First Observation Of Antimatter Wave Interference https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.08901.pdf “The periodic spatial distribution generated by the interferometer (Fig. 1) is revealed by a nuclear emulsion detector. Nuclear emulsions14 offer submicron level position resolution in the detection of ionizing particles9,15. They work as photographic films by exploiting the properties of silver-bromide crystals embedded in a 50 μm thick gelatin matrix. For this experiment we developed a glass-supported emulsion de...

In the early days of aviation, pilots would use aircrafts to entertain citizens, flying in artistic maneuvers to excite and draw grasps. As aviation advanced, military fighter pilots would master vertical climbs and loops to trick the enemy in dogfights. Mixing elements of its early theatrics and military grade precision, aerobatics today is more advanced and enthralling than ever before." Fig...
