This is How FIREWORKS Work!
Have you wondered how fireworks work? This video explores the history of fireworks and explains how several types of fireworks work, like aerial or skyrocket fireworks, how fountain fireworks work, and how pop-its work. Fireworks have long been used to celebrate events like New Years and the 4th of July here in the U.S.

In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) created the category of dwarf planets to which Pluto was added. But why was Pluto demoted from being a planet? This video explores the three requirements for a planet and why Pluto doesn't meet all of them.

This makes it easy for the clock to measure a single frequency to keep time instead of getting confused with other frequencies from other valence electrons that would share the same space.

    I love watching videos on beginner methods because there's so much variety, for high level stuff it's really just CFOP and roux and things don't really change but beginner methods are ALWAYS different. I like this one, the second layer stuff seems like it's sort of derived from F2L concepts distilled down to one sequence and then I think learning one algorithm for the last step is probably less frustrating for most people than that wacky thing you usually see where you go corner by corner with the whole cube looking ruined throughout and if you sequence break anything in between the four it'll just quietly stay broken.

We only see one face of the moon because it is tidally locked to Earth, a process that arises from Earth’s strong gravitational pull on a near object like the moon. Hope this helps!

    • @OnTheShouldersofScience
      @OnTheShouldersofScience 2 месяца назад

      The jolt of electricity works using the piezoelectric effect which is explained more in the previous video on quartz clocks. These vibrations speed up or slow down the quartz’s vibration so that it matches the frequency of the caesium. You are right, there is so much more to this and this does gloss over a lot of details, but so does everything else in this video in order to make it short enough
