  • Anti-Gravity Cone?!

    Anti-Gravity Cone?!

    Einstein thought it impossible: a ball rolling uphill! This new experiment shows, for the first time ever, a ball can actually defy gravity.

    The next video released will explain how the Anti-Gravity Cone actually works; what force overpowers the force of gravity?

  • What Does an Atom Look Like?

    What Does an Atom Look Like?

    You’ve probably seen atoms like this emoji ⚛ everywhere from science textbooks to the logo for The Big Bang Theory. But what does an atom really look like? The truth is much stranger.

  • Cold Atom Lab Launching on Board Orbital ATK Mission to Space Station

    Cold Atom Lab Launching on Board Orbital ATK Mission to Space Station

    The new Cold Atom Lab (CAL) facility is among the cargo launching to the International Space Station on the Orbital ATK CRS-9 mission. The Cold Atom Lab could help answer some big questions in modern physics. CAL produces clouds of atoms that are ten billion times colder than deep space. The facility uses lasers and magnetic forces to freeze the atoms until they are almost motionless. In the microgravity environment on the space station, it’s possible to observe these ultra-cold atoms for much longer in than what’s possible on the ground. The research done using CAL could potentially lead to a number of improved technologies, including sensors, quantum computers and atomic clocks used in spacecraft navigation.

  • The Beginning of Everything — The Big Bang

    The Beginning of Everything — The Big Bang

    How did everything get started?

    Has the universe a beginning or was it here since forever? Well, evidence suggests that there was indeed a starting point to this universe we are part of right now. But how can this be? How can something come from nothing? And what about time? We don’t have all the answers yet so let’s talk about what we know.

    Also, we try to make this one not depressing. Tell us if we succeeded.

    BY THE WAY. We have a website now. We’ll try to blog from time to time, show you guys how we make the videos and give more insight to our process. Also we sell stuff. We really don’t know where this whole kurzgesagt stuff leads us. But we are really thankful for all the attention and positive feedback and yeah, maybe we can make this our jobs — it would be pretty nice and we could do more content each month. But we’ll see. For now, thank you very much everybody for making this little adventure possible.

    Thomas did an aweful good job again. 🙂

    Next Video: April. (as soon as we can but we kind of have to make a living and visit college) Topic: Nuclear Energy (probably, if we finish the research in time — if not something else)

    Short videos, explaining things. For example Evolution, the Universe, Time, the Stock Exchange or controversial topics like Fracking. Because we love science.
