Happy Easter!

Happy Easter guys.  Thanks for helping me make Smarter Every Day.  I started typing out something cheesy but decided against it because I was equal parts embarrassed and also thought you're probably busy hanging out with family.  I have a few neat videos coming out soon that I think you'll like.

The 360 treadmill from Ready Player One.  (I had to wait until the movie was out because they weren't allowed to say they were a part of it).

A Dragon Torched My Hand (How Do VR Haptic Gloves Work?) - Smarter Every Day 191

There are tons of things I had never considered about how difficult it is to fool your brain into thinking it's touching something it's not.  I think the most important technical issue to overcome is timing.  Much like how your brain can understand hearing someone's voice AFTER seeing their lips move, but not the opposite... the lag time of the sense of touch is an important thing for your brain.  Another thing I hand't considered is the "rise time" that has to do with internal st...

I took my first exam. I strained pretty hard on it.

LOL.  Strained... It was hard to gauge how I did.... <awkward sigh>

Hey homies, I took my first Midterm Exam as part of the PhD thing.  I was scared.  I think I did ok.  I found some other students to study with and turns out we studied well.  I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that junk just got real.  

Semi-Rhetorical question: Do you think a video about what I'm studying would be worth doing?  What would you like to know about it...

Saturn V Line image (single shot)

Thanks for checking out this image.  Any ideas on what that line is!?

I'm a bit baffled.  And humbly summon the collective brain power of nerds everywhere.

While you're here consider supporting on Patreon if you're into this sort of thing.  If not, no biggie.  Thanks to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon.  I rented the boom lift and paid Trevor to come down and help with the shoot with the money you gave me!  Thanks!

WHAT IS THIS LINE? (on my Super Blue Blood Moon Photo) - Smarter Every Day 188

It happened on all 3 cameras, but only from one of our 2 shooting locations.  We were approximately 2.2 miles away.  Here are the exact TPE data from this shot:

RAW Saturn V Super Blue Blood Moon Photos

Hey Guys, I've attached a folder containing the raw Super Blue Blood Moon setting over the Saturn V photos.  There's a weird line that shows up on them that I don't understand.  My gut says mirage or cloud, but it seems weirder than that.  The next video explains how these were shot!  Thank you for supporting me on Patreon.  I used this money to pay Trevor and Trent, as well as for the rental of the boom lift.  

The photos in this folder include the RAW CR2 files ...

I'm Pausing Patreon Charges (Unlisted video for Patrons)

I've been on travel for my day job and got out of a meeting today to find out that many people were messaging me about Patreon's new fee structure.  I logged in and saw that over 50 people had cancelled support for Smarter Every Day.  Jack Conte is a good dude, and I trust he'll get everything figured out. I don't understand the issue yet, but obviously there is one, so for the time being Smarter Every Day Patreon is on PAUSE.  I won't click the "Charge Patrons" button until we ge...

Want to help analyze high speed data? Domino Data Entry

I've been trying to figure out domino velocities. Look... I know it sounds trivial but good grief it can get difficult. Slippage on the bottom, variation on if the domino hits near the top or the bottom, twisting during impact, etc. My first test was inconclusive because it seemed like the dominoes accelerated in the first 20 or so. Obviously the only reasonable answer to this is brute force empirical scientific data collection. I've recorded 19 high speed videos. Recording each individual domin...
