What If Your Fingers Were the Same Length



Why are your fingers different lengths? And what would happen if all five fingers were of equal length? I was browsing the web the other day and took a personality test – something like “what your finger length reveals about you”. When I found out I can’t be a genius because of the way my fingers are, it made me wonder: why do your fingers have to be of different length anyway? It looks like evolutionary history still doesn’t have a 100% clear answer to this question. They recently found a skeleton of a guy with a lump at the base of his hand from 1.5 million years ago. It means humans possibly had hands just like we do now back then. Until then, millions of years before, their fingers were long and curved, their palms were extra broad, and their thumbs were small and weak. So, what made humans evolve and go from uniformly shaped fingers to what we have today? TIMESTAMPS:

What If You Could Swim on the Moon



If there was a swimming pool on the Moon, could a person swim in it? Think about it! We’ve sent satellites beyond our solar system. We’ve walked on the moon, and we’ll soon do the same on Mars. But we’ve missed one more important task, and it’ll take a bright mind like yours to make it happen: what if we swam on the moon? So, you decide to build the first-ever pool on the moon! Could it work? How different would lunar swimming be? You need oxygen inside, but you still want lunar gravity. Otherwise, your new idea of moon swimming will just turn into Earth swimming, and that’s not fun or fresh. And the walls must be transparent, like a giant bubble! TIMESTAMPS:

A Journey Inside Your Brain



How does the brain work? Your brain contains billions of nerve cells. There are about 100 billion of them, about as many as the stars in the Milky Way! You get most of them at birth, but as you get older, your brain keeps producing new ones. Neurons send somewhere between 5 to 50 messages every second! Neurons work so hard they produce enough energy to light up a low voltage LED bulb. Bot just one neuron can’t do much by itself, so they work together as teams. They talk in their secret language of electrical and chemical signals. And when you do something again and again, so the same signal is going through, the message gets even faster and is more likely to reach the goal! TIMESTAMPS:
Sensory neurons 2:19
Motor neurons 2:30
Interneurons 2:42

10+ Tricks to Stop Phone Charger Cables from Breaking



How to prevent your phone charger cable from breaking? You buy one, it breaks, you get another. Do you rip the charger out of the phone instead of holding it by the plug and carefully taking it out of the port? And there it goes, all crumbled up into your pocket. And it’s the one you keep your keys in – perfect! They’re just gonna rub up on the cord and wear it down! You're probably thinking: “Just charge wirelessly!” But you know you can’t use that ALL the time. Plus, they can make your phone hot! First of all, buy just one cable – you don’t need a vast collection anymore. But consider getting a cable protector with it. They come in all shapes and sizes – fancy things attached to the joint near the plug. This is the most delicate part of the cable. TIMESTAMPS:
Get a cable protector 1:01
Or use a shoelace 1:37
Try heat-shrinking tubes 2:11
Get yourself a magnet adaptor 2:30
Try a special adhesive putty 2:52
Another handy remedy is liquid tape 3:14
The problem may be in the port itself 3:38
Or it could be your smartphone’s software to blame 4:17
Use binder clips 4:38

35 Space Facts Make the Night Sky More Mysterious



Hey guys! Here's another compilation of surprising facts about space! Space is an amazing place that we are continuing to learn more and more about. It’s hard to imagine how huge our galaxy is and how much of it we don’t yet understand. For example, did you know that the ocean on Jupiter is larger than any other in the Solar System? But unlike Earth's oceans, it's made not of water but of metallic hydrogen! Or have you ever wondered what the future of our galaxy is? Well, the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy are going to meet in 3.75 billion years. They're moving toward each other at breakneck speed! So what will happen when the two galaxies collide? The Moon isn't a sphere – it's shaped like an egg. There's a gigantic red spinning storm on Jupiter. The Sun's surface is colder than its atmosphere. Let's figure out what other surprises space has for us! TIMESTAMPS:

When You Travel by Plane, Time Slows Down for You



Is time traveling only possible in movies? But did you know that you go to the future every time you fly on a plane? And it's not about the time zones changing. When you fly in an airplane at a high altitude where gravity is weaker, you get older by a few nanoseconds faster. And this happens during each flight. By the way, gravity also makes the time go slower. The closer you are to the Earth, the slower the time goes. Say, there are two identical twins. One lives on the ground floor of the Empire State Building, and the other on the top of it. 80 years later, the second twin will be 90 billionths of a second older than the twin who lives on the ground floor! But how is it possible? TIMESTAMPS:
