Jul 23, 7:39AM

An Underwater Bullet at 27,450 FPS Is Breathtakingly Beautiful
Jul 23, 6:37AM
You may remember our friend Destin at Smarter Every Day shooting an AK-47 underwater. It was a cool experiment, but the pressure caused the aquarium to shatter, ruining what we now know would have been an amazing shot. To solve this problem, he built a sort of reverse-periscope for a Phantom camera and shot the AK-47 in a pool. The results are absolutely stunning.

Watching a Timelapse of Plants Growing Is Grossly Alien
Jul 23, 5:00AM
It's easy to forget plants are "alive" because they hardly move on their own. No more. This timelapse of plants growing and blooming and shooting up and blossoming shows plants move like aliens. Every time you see a new plant, you think it's a new species from outer space. It's not until you see the familiar green, that you become calm.

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Tulkou
Jul 23, 4:00AM
Things in this quiet seaside town are not what they initally appear. Not the faux-colored pencil on cardboard animation motif and especially not the gigantic green liquidus humanoid that just washed into this old man's fishing net.

Driving a Car with Pliers As a Steering Wheel Is a Hilariously Dumb Idea
Jul 23, 3:28AM
Imagine you're the police. Imagine you're in your police car. Imagine eating a donut. Imagine complaining about life to your partner. Imagine seeing a car with two obviously blown tires drive by. Imagine pulling that car over. Imagine seeing that the driver driving the car was using a makeshift steering wheel made from... locking pliers. Imagine how hard you would laugh.

Here Are Famous Art Paintings Amazingly Recreated with Deli Meat
Jul 23, 2:00AM
Well, to consider this anything other than fantastic is to be wrong. Photographer Karsten Wegener teamed up with designer Silke Baltruschat and food stylist Raik Holst to create 'Sausage in Art', art which recreates famous paintings by using... deli meats, sausages, eggs, pickles and more. It might not look as good as the original, but it's infinitely more tasty (and more funny).

Dan Black: Hearts
Jul 23, 1:00AM
My music taste can be regarded as anywhere from generally untrustworthy to unforgivingly mainstream. So if you don't enjoy this soundtrack selection, I don't blame ya. Put it on mute. This ain't about the music. What's awesome about this music video is that it's a 24 hour timelapse video. As in it was created in one entire day on top of a roof in Paris. One frame every 16 seconds from 11AM to 11AM.

What Van Gogh's Paintings Would Look Like If They Came to Life
Jul 23, 12:00AM
Like the awesome moving pictures in Harry Potter and the silliness of six second Vines, this video shows what art by Van Gogh would look like if the paintings he created could move. That is, how the candles would flicker, how the shadows would be cast, how the Sun would rise, how people would move, how the smoke would blow, how the ocean would look and so much more. It's fantastic.

Disney Research, a partnership between the mouse-eared entertainment juggernaut and universities around the globe, is on a virtual reality roll. Its latest development, an algorithm that turns 2D photographs into 3D landscapes, can transform a regular photo into a video game-style environment, using consumer-grade computer hardware.

UCLA's 1948 Mechanical Computer Was Simply Gorgeous To Watch in Action
Jul 22, 10:51PM
The mechanical computers of yesterday may have been enormous, difficult to program, and amazingly clunky—but they sure were beautiful to watch in action. Released theatrically by Popular Science on August 6, 1948, this short film played before Paramount Pictures movies and demonstrated to the public how computers were freeing "research of old limitations" and provided "stimulus for unprecedented technical advancements." For those watching in darkened theaters, though, it was mostly just gorgeously choreographed machinery.

Powerful New MIT Computer System Can Make the Internet 3x Faster
Jul 22, 10:26PM
The Transmission Control Protocol is like a crossing guard for the internet, regulating traffic to keep things flowing. Sure, engineers are constantly working to improve it, but it's manmade, so there's always room for human error. But researchers at MIT have created a computer system that could fix all that—and make the internet two to three times faster.

Jul 22, 10:04PM
Remember, only you can prevent forest fires but they still happen with frightening regularity and increasingly destructive force. To better understand and predict the atmospheric conditions these wildfires, a one research team wants to float an armada of disposable, self-guided sensor-toting UAVs into the flames' maw. Finally, all those years of making paper airplanes in the back of the class are finally paying off.

Jul 22, 10:04PM
A team of scientists in Switzerland has managed to cram 11,011 electrodes onto a single two-millimeter-by-two-millimeter piece of silicon to create a microchip that works just like an actual brain. The best part about this so-called neuromorphic chips? They can feel.

Glasses.com for iPad: Test Glasses on Your Virtual Head Before You Buy
Jul 22, 10:00PM
We've become a lazy, lazy people. If there's two things that really bring us together, it's an irrational demand for instant gratification and a desire to have as little face-to-face interaction as is humanly possible. Now on the one hand, this is probably the beginning of society's grand demise. But on the other, doing things sucks! So we might as well give in to fate and enjoy sweet, sweet laziness while we can. Which, thanks to glasses.com's new app, now included eyewear shopping.

Jul 22, 9:45PM
When you look up at the sky, on a clear dark night, you're sometimes lucky enough to catch glimpses of other planets. They seem small, insignificant, surreal. Guess what? That's exactly how we look to them. Here's our pale blue dot, from Saturn. You might have to squint.

And we got to tag along for some of it.

NASA Tweets the Saddest Tweet of the Year
Jul 22, 9:06PM
NASA Kennedy Space Center just posted a photograph of their—now dead—main countdown clock with the following text:"We can't wait to use this again." I imagine all their employees looking at it every day and tearing up. I know I would. If that's not sad, I don't know what is.
