Here's how the technology industry shaped the way we see the world today.

Here's what happens when you pour 1 984°F/1 085°C molten copper on a Big Mac. This demonstration has nothing to do with the fact that McDonald's uses preservatives in its ingredients. This is simply a demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect - a scientific principle explaining the phenomena that occurs when a liquid comes in near contact with a solid that is significantly hotter than its boiling point; the surface of the liquid comes to a nearly immediate boil, and creates a thin layer of protective steam. It's much the same effect as when one drops water onto a hot pan and the droplet is seen to dance across the surface. In this instance, the inherent moisture in the burger protects it for a few moments before the copper (at nearly 2 000 d ...

Here's how the decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate as it's lit with a torch (skip to 1 minute, 20 seconds).

Ever seen an egg cracked underwater?

An easy to understand animation of antimatter.

Now you have an excuse to take more breaks at work - tell your boss or TEACHER "science said so!".
