Let’s make ghost guts (a.k.a. oobleck)! This video stitch (@mrs.b.tv) explains how cornstarch + water = squishy non-Newtonian fluid science slime! Liquid when you pour it, solid when you squeeze it… spooky!

At 0:25, a clock appears, then the relative velocity time dilation formula, then an image that shows a person on the ground "time=normal" with a rocket in space "time=slower." (4/6)

Transcript: Where am I? I'm in Huntsville, Alabama. Why is Huntsville signed this way? Huntsville is known for rocket production and for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, where they work with the International Space Station (ISS). (1/4)

Astronauts return from the International Space Station (ISS) having aged less than they would have on Earth. (2/4)

Atomic Hands @atomichands.bsky.social · 9d

Because of "relative velocity time dilation", the high-speeds that astronauts aboard the ISS are traveling mean that time slows down for them relative to people on the surface of the Earth. (3/4)

Atomic Hands @atomichands.bsky.social · 9d

It’s not a failsafe anti-aging trick though: after 6 months on the ISS, astronauts are only 0.005 seconds younger than the rest of us. Very interesting! (4/4)

Atomic Hands @atomichands.bsky.social · 9d

Did you know astronauts age slower in space? Thanks to time dilation, their high speeds aboard the ISS make time tick a little slower than on Earth! But don’t pack your bags yet. After 6 months, they’re only about 0.005 seconds younger. Still, pretty mind-blowing!

Silly Putty was an accident! A WWII chemist tried making rubber… instead, he made this stretchy, bouncy blob we love today. Try making your own at home with glue, starch + food coloring... science you can squish! #STEMvee #STEMinASL #DIYScience #AccidentalInventions #SillyPutty

Ever wonder how glasses know when to turn into sunglasses? Is it MAGIC?

Nope, it's science! Photochromic lenses change color when UV light hits them. Watch to see how your glasses pull off this trick!
