It’s no longer something we read from scientific novels. Amazing!

A very good explanation of the aurora. Aurora is the mysterious lights that only appear at the north and south poles. You will know why that’s the case after watching this video.

The Mystery of Dark Matter

Posted by: Brian Chan | Filed in: science | Tags: , | 06:34 pm, September 8th, 2010 No Comments »

I just found this awesome video about dark matter. It is made by Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. The video is very well done and informative, this is probably an understatement. If you are a visual person and have only limited knowledge of physics, then this video may be for you!
