Just How Small is an Atom?
A fantastic new video from the TEDEd project. By the way, a grapefruit is the same as an Earth filled with blueberries.
It does a fantastic job detailing the misconceptions that abound in basic science books. Atoms are hard to get your mind around, even though your mind is made of them.
Previously: I answer the question: “If atoms are mostly empty space, why don’t we fall through the floor?”

How life begins in the deep ocean – another wonderful and illuminating video from TED-Ed.
“I became a rocket ship!”
The reproductive cycle of marine invertebrates is often an effort reliant on serendipity and chance. Two floating gametes must fuse, fertilize and feed, blindly drifting and defending, until perhaps being deposited and developed. It’s also one that occurs with the precision of a Swiss timepiece, with sperm and eggs often released in delicate time windows as small as hours after a full moon.
It can also be rather messy, what one observer termed “… a raucous orgy that will send a pink slick of coral sperm and eggs up from the bottom of the reef and onto the surface.” I know of a marine biologist who lost a dare, and slathered that slick on a piece of toast.
Either way, it’s some amazing biology.
Unbelievable. Possibly a jellyfish from the genus Deepstaria, only described since the 60s, and until know only known from fragments:
Imperfectly known, many specimens damaged. Two nominal species, information from both combined here based on Russell (1967), Larson (1986), Larson et al. (1988). Bell remarkably thin, broad, delicate … flexing down in “pursing” manner… most specimens reported colorless but deep brown … lining a paler brown recorded once (Larson et al., 1988, as Deepstaria reticulum); more observations needed before value of this as species character can be evaluated.

I heard this song on a pop radio station last night, so I looked it up. I was really shocked cause the music video only had 9k views, so obviously they’re not popular. I almost feel like it’s an accident that their song was played.

This blog is the amalgam of my thoughts, my inspirations, and my life, along with things I like to look at and listen to.
I'm really fascinated by how the world around me works; I like the little quirks of nature. I want to study how the oceans work, the life that's in them, and teach people about why it's important. Though the thing I'd like to study most are sharks. They're pretty cool, you know.
