Three one-thousandths of a second is less than 1/10th of a blink, less than 1/100th of a heartbeat. But if you're a speedskater, 0.003 seconds can be the difference between gold and silver. So how are Olympics timekeepers able to get such ridiculous precision and accuracy? For the inside scoop, we talked to Omega's Peter Hürzeler, head of Olympic timekeeping.

Listen to this young girl playing her sheng, a Chinese instrument invented thousands of years ago. The woodwind may be ancient, but the sound is pure 1980s nostalgia—it's the Super Mario Brothers theme, right down to the sounds of Mario collecting coins and mushrooms. Amazing!

Watching ice crystals melt is like seeing a psychedelic kaleidoscope
Feb 22, 2:52AM
I'd like to have whatever these ice crystals are having because damn it's quite the trip. The video of these ice crystals melting was taken by Shawn Knol using cross-polarized light which I'm going to assume is some code word for really powerful drugs and not actually some super slick microscope.

Celebrities looked like they time traveled in these 1860's photographs
Feb 22, 12:51AM
Whenever you look at vintage photographs taken using old methods, there's always a certain haunting quality about them. The life captured is so still, the eyes always seem so dark. It's almost joyless. Photographer Victoria Will wanted to see how old photographs would translate with modern people so she used an 1860's era method of photography called tintype to capture celebrities today. It's fantastic.

Feb 21, 11:48PM
Here's a fun trick for pyros (which is pretty much every human ever). As a candle poofs out and leaves a smoke trail, you can re-light it again by igniting the smoke trail. The fire burns down and hits the wick and boom, let there be light.
