I randomly get bored and surf youtube for videos that are actually interesting and rarely ever find any, I thought It'd be worthwhile to have a topic for people to post interesting/informative videos they find online. It'll make future procrastination so much easier
This is an NPR video about the weird inability of humans to walk in a straight line without a frame of reference (i.e. we go in circles unless we're walking to/away from/by something we can see). http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/20...-walk-straight
These are my 2 favorite RSAnimate videos, they're like animated TED Talks
Crises of Capitalism
Changing Education Paradigms

Space is not a Spacial dimension.
And according to string theory, there's 11 Dimensions.

String Theory pretty much invents the dimensions as they go to make the math work out. It's all very complicated, but in the future I suppose it would be possible for string theorists to require an even higher number of dimensions. Even trying to understand 4 dimensions is hard enough for most people. You gotta give props to people who can handle 26.
