Let's have a thread for the glory of cool science videos!

(and also for other amazing videos whose awesomeness could be attributed to science in some way.)

Sulfur hexaflouride is pretty awesome.

The inner life of a cell, a short 3d film for Harvard biology students... simply amazing.

"Look around you" is a british filler show that goes between "programmes" and has nothing at all to do with science... but it's pretty funny. It's sorta meant to be a parody of educational videos from the 80's.

Badass is the only word that adequately describes this.

yes, it's actually the electric arcs that are making the noise.

Just a note United Nuclear is pretty overpriced, I think you can get Sodium Polyacrylate cheaper from other places. I've never messed with the stuff but it does look fun.

And to stay on topic, here's a video of reacting acetylene with chlorine gas.

Edit: pseudolobster that tesla video is AWESOME!!!

non-newtonian liquids? does that mean that they dont follow the laws?

here, I scaled it down to 120px wide (the max width for the forum anyway), saved it interlaced with slightly lower color depth.

got it down to 3.3mb without editing any of it out.
