Throwing boiling water into extremely cold air can lead to the Mpemba effect where it freezes and turns into a snowy mist.

However, it can also lead to severe burns. Turning boiling hot water into “snow” or steam in freezing temperatures, is sending some to hospital with severe burns. While this video looks awesome, the reality is that many who do it get splashed back with hot, boiling water.

Alright clock shop, keep it light…

Would you like some existential dread with your watch battery?

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?

Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.

Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.

Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix

You might have seen somebody using the proverb Vox Populi, Vox Dei. What was missing was the context in which it was used:

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.

In case you do not speak Latin, it means in English:

And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.
