5 Physics Phenomena That Make Us Think

With school getting ready to start back up for many people, it’s a great time to give your brain a little bit of exercise. Youtuber Veritasium (which I honestly read as veritaserum, the truth potion from Harry Potter) is a science video blogger that’s doing an excellent job of making us think. This video from yesterday poses 5 interesting phenomena that occur in the physics world and tasks us with seeing if we can figure out why they happen on our own. Let us know your thoughts on the physics behind these phenomena!

Also, is it just me or does this guy look a little bit like everyone’s favorite undead revolutionary, Tom Mison?
