The Science of Bullets Underwater in Slow Motion
I saw this video trending on Youtube and had to share it with you guys. In a great two part video by the theslowmoguys and smartereveryday, we get to see some amazing and unexpected things happen when a gun is fired underwater. Not only is this awesome to watch but there’s a lot of really cool science going on here.
The first video really focuses on the high speed footage while the second part explains the science in a little more detail, so it’s well worth watching both parts. Both of these channels are on my subscribe list for sure and I’m sure you’ve seen videos from one of these channels before as well, but in the odd chance you haven’t, you can get your geek fix and check out some of their most popular videos.
Stephen Hawking Intros Big Bang Theory
Comic-Con is always full of surprises and über geeky moments and I think Stephen Hawing introducing the Big Bang Theory panel is one of those moments. Not only does he do the theme song, which is awesome, but he does mention his book, A Brief History of Time, and an upcoming movie about his life titled Hawking which is set to be released on September 20th, 2013 in the UK.
VGHS Season 2 Trailer is Here
A while ago we mentioned that season 2 of Video Game High School (VGHS) was going to happen after raising over $800,000 in a kickstarter campaign. Now, we finally get to catch glimpse of what’s in store for season 2 in this new trailer.
Video Game High School is a series set in an alternate reality where professional video gaming becomes the biggest spectator sport in the world. It follows Brian D, an aspiring pro gamer who lands an invitation to VGHS, the most prestigious gaming academy in the world. Think Hogwarts, but instead of spells and magic wands, it’s headshots and IBM Model M keyboards!
You can catch the previous season of VHGS along with any new content at Rocket Jump.
