All the lovers of science out there know that even if the natural world may be really fascinating, sometimes can be very difficult to grasp. That’s why videos and infographics can be very helpful in order to make all the complex problems and scientific concepts easier to understand. Here you can see four GIFs that are making science seem very fun and simple.
Aerial Dominance
If you believe that humans have good navigational skills, you will be amazed by the very impressive skills of these birds who are able to outmaneuver other birds with their strong reflexes.
Prince Rupert’s Drop
Unfortunately, not many people have heard about this phenomenon. At the moment when molten gas interacts with water that is much cooler, this is the result. The Prince Rubert’s drop phenomenon is just another proof that under the right conditions, really strange things may happen.
Synchronicity (in nature)
If you want to picture how hard can synchronizing be, take one orchestra as an example. Assortment of very different instruments are working together in order to make music and even if they all have a very distinct sound, at some point they get on the same wavelength. Sure, there are many other examples for this phenomenon like some sport events (like synchronized swimming) or GPS systems. But, nature also has its way to show how synchronicity works – in this case with a flock of birds:
Ferrfluid in a glass jug
This material is quite fascinating because it has the magnetic properties of a solid, while having the fluid properties of a liquid. So, here’s what happens if you use a magnet against a glass jar with this material inside of it.
