Have you ever wished someone would explain particle physics to you with help from the sweet sounds of Adele? Look no further.
"Rolling in the Higgs," a parody of the Adele hit "Rolling in the Deep," is the first video posted to a new YouTube channel called A Capella Science.
The creator, Tim Blais, is a self-professed harmony addict who is currently working on a master's degree in theoretical physics. On his Facebook page, Blais describes the venture as "an educational and utterly nerdy online video project."
The cover is chock full of informative lyrics, such as:
There's a collider under Geneva
Reaching new energies that we've never achieved before
Finally we can see with this machine
A brand new data peak at 125 GeV
See how gluons and vector bosons fuse
Muons and gamma rays emerge from something new
There's a collider under Geneva
Making one particle that we've never seen before.
In the channel's description, Blais notes his background, and asks: "What ELSE was I going to make a YouTube channel about?"
Touché.
Joel Bush didn't know anyone was watching when he got down on one knee to propose to Jennifer Orr. But photographer Patrick Lu happened upon the couple on the capital grounds in Austin, Texas and shared his beautiful picture to Reddit: "Did any of you propose at the capital last night?"
The post made it to the top of /r/Austin with 1,400 up votes (the highest of all time in that subreddit), and Redditors offered many suggestions on how to locate the mystery couple. It turns out, Bush himself discovered the post and tweeted his elation that the Internet had shared in the couple's happy moment.
With the 2012 Summer Olympics in full swing, you're probably glued to your TV screen — or the computer screen if you find NBC's delayed telecast unacceptable. But take your eyes off the tube for a bit and treat yourself to this amusing gallery of Lego Olympians swimming in a blocky Lego pool.
Artist Gary Davis created this miniature replica of London's Aquatic Center, the 2012 Olympics' venue for swimming, diving and synchronized swimming.
In one of the most beautiful misnomers on the planet, "fire rainbows" are actually neither fire nor rainbows. Spotted in south Florida, these iridescent clouds contain water droplets of relatively uniform proportions, creating a rare event of colorful light diffraction.
Your average rainbow refracts light, bending it as the light passes at different speeds through different mediums, such as water, reports Our Amazing Planet. But fire rainbows diffract light, which causes the light waves to spread like rings.
Lions, tigers and Gary Busey — oh my! Photoshop wizardry replaces the faces of Wizard of Oz characters with that of actor Gary Busey.
A lesson for the kids: Never follow Gary Busey down the yellow brick road.
Nick Gentry is an emerging British artist who works with outdated and obsolete media (such as VCRs, rolls of film, cassettes, etc.) upcycling them to form art pieces addressing consumerism, technology and media.
We recently came across his "floppy disk paintings," which consist of numerous portraits illustrated on floppy disks. Gentry runs a program titled Xchange where he's currently encouraging people to donate used film negatives, X-rays and any transparencies. We're looking forward to seeing how he works with his next set of used materials.
