YouTube video by SciShow Quantum Computers Look Like Chandeliers. This is Why.

New from me at @scishow.bsky.social! In news stories, why do quantum computers look like a 'steampunk chandelier'? Well, turns out: that's not the computer!

(But that's all just setup for my rant at the end about how so much quantum tech is way over-hyped 👀👀👀)

An image is split in two. In the bottom left of the first image a bright blue ring appears, slightly fading in all directions, with a small blue dot in the middle. Red and orange waves of gas ripple, arcing from top left to top right. A light blue center appears out of the sea of red, and several bright white dots shine through. In the top right, dark blue gas emanates from the blackness of space.

YouTube video by SciShow One of the World’s Oldest Experiments is This Patch of Grass

If you can't touch grass today, watch this video about grass from @scishow.bsky.social. Definitely the coolest grass story I've heard in a long time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFXd...

I'm not sure what it says about me that I could immediately recognise the Park Grass experiment from just the thumbnail of this @scishow.bsky.social video!

YouTube video by SciShow The Places Where People Live Past 100 (Are Fake)

I always wanted to believe in Blue Zones, or unique parts of the world where there is thought to be a higher rate of centenarians and super centenarians. I had an opportunity to read a ton and write about them in this episode of @scishow.bsky.social 🤓

YouTube video by SciShow How Space Awakens Sleeping Viruses

The new episode I wrote for @scishow.bsky.social just came out! It's about #viruses, the kind that lie dormant inside us, and what happens to those viruses when we go to #space.

15 home runs is a LOT of home runs. Even for the Yankees!

if you give the crew a camera...

Thank you! We are okay, just taking a week to focus. As the kids are saying these days, we’re locking in. We’ll be back with new episodes July 7th!

YouTube video by SciShow We Turned the Mediterranean Into One Big Particle Physics Experiment

Hank! I love @scishow.bsky.social and supported it when I could.

Maybe it’s just me as an aspiring astrophysics nerd, but I yelled “What the f*ck!” at the screen at a very specific point in the video.

That a neutrino could run into something so primordial is wild.

New @scishow.bsky.social

This was a really fun one. We wrote about the real science behind an ancient tome said to hold alchemical secrets... And just what does Shannon entropy have to do with it?

Moon rocks deserve to be protected, and that only happens when people (like you) care! Show you care with a MRPS shirt available now at complexly.store/products/moo...

I guess NASA technically has a good reason, but we're still pouting about it.

We got feedback that folks might like to send the postcard to someone else, so we made sure to leave that as an option!

4 SciShow postcards with a variety of different pictures and facts that joined together have an image of a frog.

I just got my @scishow.bsky.social postcards out of the mailbox! The design is awesome and I can’t wait check out the videos later! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Postcards, pins and other memorabilia displayed on a brown corkboard

@hankgreen.bsky.social I got my @scishow.bsky.social postcards! I was about to add them to the Complexly/PBS/Kurzgesagt corner of my board when I saw last year's was postmarked. Was it actually cheaper to ship them in a padded envelope this year instead of mailing them all like normal postcards?

the frog of facts has arrived!! thank you @scishow.bsky.social these are so epic!!

✍️

SciShow backer post cards with different facts.

Got my @scishow.bsky.social post cards signed by Hank and my first thought was "who will I send these too," and not let's watch the exclusive video. The idea of these having postage tickles me. I may keep the hominin one. I knew that fact but it still fucks me up.

YouTube video by SciShow This Is What Happens When Regular People Go To Space

The new @scishow.bsky.social episode I wrote just dropped!

In 2021, 4 regular people (not astronauts) spent 4 days in space. In the episode, I cover:
• Why they went
• How it changed their bodies
• Why civilian astronauts matter for Mars
