The Most Famous Mystery Well NEVER Solve Popular Science 2024-10-03 | [YouTube Age-Restricted the previous upload. This is a new censored version.]Nearly 200 years ago, a mysterious teen boy arrived in Nuremberg. The event ignited the Kaspar Hauser story: a tale of weird history, an unsolved mystery that endures today, and a battle between the ancient lore of a feral child and the power of modern forensics. When Kaspar Hauser arrived, he could barely speak at all, but he eventually was able to say that he had been kept in a dungeon for his entire life until he was dropped off in the city. How did he get there? How could a boy who had never walked in his life make the journey? How could he write his own name?The details of Kaspar’s origins were compelling… to a degree. He was surrounded by both a city of devoted supporters and a growing cadre of skeptics. And his arrival kicked off a saga including a series of assassination attempts, hidden genius, and a total inability to tell what’s actually true and what’s a lie.It’s why Kaspar Hauser’s mystery continues today, and even with modern forensic breakthroughs and DNA testing improving by the decade, we know only a portion of the truth. And it seems as though the more capable we are at arriving at the real Kaspar Hauser story, the less we actually know. #weirdhistory #History #psychology #popularscience #unsolvedmystery

The VR Backpack Gamers HATED (Interactor) Popular Science 2024-08-21 | The 1980s cemented the role of the home video game console. By the early 1990s, gamers wanted to take their experience to the next level by harnessing physics and haptic feedback into a wearable gaming vest called the Aura Interactor… or did they?! The lure of cymatics and the excitement of 90s tech experimentation generated a haptic vest that supposedly let you feel all the action of your favorite games, but the reality of the Aura Interactor was on a spectrum of kinda-sorta-cool to annoying. What started out as a premium, expensive product that would fully immerse gamers into the fantastic worlds of legendary video games would turn into a clearance rack staple. What went so wrong with such a unique idea? How did pieces of the 1980s Star Wars Missile Defense program wind up in the annals of retro technology and retro gaming? And why does it feel like I keep getting kicked in the back?!#retrotech #gaming #popularscience #technology #haptics

The Tech That Changed Democracy Forever Popular Science 2024-08-13 | One of the most consequential leaps in science and technology etched itself in the annals of military history before changing politics and elections forever. The ‘Walkie-Talkie-Lookie’ combined the power of radio waves with film. The result? Real-time audio-visuals beamed to home televisions, and doing it all with portability – in a way that helped people choose or avoid potential leaders. Before the infamous close-ups of the first televised Nixon-Kennedy presidential debate, wireless transmitters made their mark at the 1952 Republican and Democratic political conventions. It was a technological marvel: 50-pound Walkie-Lookie backpacks running around a giant convention hall broadcasting through cables and radio waves on a network of 104 stations nationwide. We’re in the era of every great soundbite and embarrassing gaffe making its way to the internet within seconds. Now we take that for granted. But generations ago, the Walkie-Talkie-Lookie revolutionized our access to politics – for the first time we weren’t just reading secondhand, cultivated news reports. We were seeing and hearing ourselves. For better and for worse.#Radio #Science #RetroTech #Inventions

The Trash Computer That Became Your Phone Popular Science 2024-07-25 | Popular Science Store: store.popsci.comPopular Science Prints: popularscienceprints.comUse code YOUTUBE for 10% off.Journeying down the path of vintage tech and retro computers is a good time even when it’s full of twists and turns… which it always is. But what happens when you’ve got a proto-portable computer that fits in your pocket, that struggles to function, that runs into incompatibility issues at every stage, and that was made by a leather company who decided to get into the home electronics business?That’s the Tandy TRS-80 Pocket Computer, sold exclusively through Radio Shack. And there’s a reason why the portable TRS-80 and its desktop companion were dubbed the ‘Trash-80.’Charles Tandy built an empire so sprawling that the federal government had to break it up, and the TRS-80 line was one of his crowning achievements before his death. Everything was looking great for both Tandy and Radio Shack – but the TRS-80 Pocket Computer revealed the vulnerabilities of both businesses, the volatility of the hyper-evolving personal computer market, and the risks of market leadership in one of the most uncertain, unstable technological eras humanity has ever seen.The TRS-80 Pocket Computer was one of the earliest forerunners to Apple’s iPhone and to smartphones in pockets around the world. But it was also a cautionary tale for the entire tech industry… and it continues to serve as a warning for anyone interested in vintage computer restoration.#Computers #retrotech #Science

The Sand That (almost) Killed Millions Popular Science 2024-07-13 | As the Cold War raged in the wake of humanity's increasing understanding of nuclear science -- and history's very first use of an atomic bomb -- both the United States and Russia started the search for a kinder, gentler form of nuclear warfare. It was a combination of traditional, familiar weaponry with emerging scientific capabilities, and it's how we got "Death Sand."Radiological weaponry came straight from the pages of early 20th century science fiction, with visionaries like HG Wells and Robert Heinlein both being frighteningly accurate about our future. But despite their warnings, the prospect of harnessing less-lethal versions of "The Bomb" tantalized militaries struggling to keep up in the post-World War II global climate.The strange science of Death Sand is a fascinating chapter in the epic story of our species' oldest question: How do we deal with violence?#coldwar #History #Nuclear #radiation

These Future Predictions were WRONG Popular Science 2024-05-29 | What happens when scientists and futurists predict the year 2000… in the 1960s? In Popular Science, Walter Cronkite chronicled the state of science and technology in 1967 to project what life might be like in the 21st century. Cronkite and the prognosticators actually got a lot of it right… and some of it they got very, very wrong.Everyone knew the moon landing was imminent, but why didn’t we ever get networks of road magnets interfacing with our cars? And although Cronkite and Popular Science were eerily accurate on GPS and car navigation systems, why were we so misguided on the future of robots?It turns out that the future we need isn’t necessarily the one we seem to want. #science #Predictions #Innovation #popularscience #history
The $2,000 Video Phone From 1987 Popular Science 2024-05-09 | Do you know about VisiTel? Video calling technology is such a mundane feature of smartphones now that it would be weird if a device *didn't* have it. But the idea for the first FaceTime is buried deep in vintage tech history, all the way back in the 70's... the 1870's. And most people hated the idea of it.By the time Mitsubishi's VisiTel videophone graced the cover of Popular Science in 1988, video calling had already gone through generations of inventions, advances, and serious setbacks. When we finally acquired a pair of brand new VisiTel phones to make one single video phone call, humanity had already been through billions of dollars of failures, misguided promises, and losing gambles -- including by Bell Labs, likely the most innovative company of the 20th century. It's been 150 years since we started thinking about and criticizing live video communication. And we still haven't fully answered the technology's most basic question: does anyone really want to be seen?#technology #science #innovation #retro #Visitel
The Day We Made Frankensteins Monster Popular Science 2024-04-22 | When Everett Knowles hitched a ride on a Boston train, he expected to make it home in a few minutes. But the result was the final leg of a medical history journey more than 30,000 years in the making when Eddy Knowles' doctors turned tragedy into a medical miracle.Eddy's impromptu arm transplant -- humanity's first successful limb re-attachment -- became one of the 20th century's great surgery stories. The path from accident to surgery required an almost impossible set of conditions to line up perfectly, and then it actually had to work. On the day of the accident, the wild scramble to harness expertise and to weigh calculated risks make for an engaging story of science and human ingenuity -- but the truth is that the same exact process of discovery and daring is what forged the centuries of scientific knowledge that Eddy's doctors used to save his arm. Scientific triumphs and medical miracles happen every day. They just take thousands of generations to be born.#medical #history #science #popularscience
The Astronaut Who Crashed In The Bathroom Popular Science 2024-04-12 | When a 40-year old Ohio man named John fell in the bathroom and hit his head on the tub, no one expected it to change how the entire world approached space exploration. But John Glenn wasn't just a business traveler in a hotel room, and the medical mystery that followed changed NASA and the space program of the USSR.Was John Glenn's vertigo the result of his orbit of the Earth during his Mercury Atlas 6 mission? Was it all just an accident, or did it come from his intense World War II and Korean War pilot service? And could the balance, dizziness, and nausea be prevented for future astronauts? The resulting research into what went wrong with John Glenn, Alan Shepard, and other astronauts and cosmonauts who experienced debilitating illnesses after spaceflight pioneered the spaceflight to the Moon and beyond -- and it all started when a man slipped on a rug.#space #spaceexploration #nasa #science
The Futuristic Toy Moms HATED (Captain Power) Popular Science 2024-04-04 | The 80s may have been the golden age for both toys and kids' TV. He Man, Thundercats, GI Joe... it was the best time in history for action and action figures. Mattel had a grand idea to combine the two into one experience: Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future would not only present a futuristic drama, but also allow the kids watching the show to participate in real-time with interactive toys.At least... that was the idea.The reality of Captain Power was a disastrous mismatch of concepts for the Captain Power toys and the show itself. Was the show made for kids or adults? Yes! Was it CGI or live action? Yes! Were the toys awesome, interfacing seamlessly with a television show that would be the next big thing for giant toy-maker Mattel?No -- a resounding no.Our Captain Power documentary enters the worlds of retro gaming, 80's toys, and television lore to find out what went so wrong... and what ended up going very, very right.Special thanks to Captain Disillusion, German Banda, Tom Lieber and Peter Paltridge.#RetroGaming #80s #Science #technology

The Secret Mine That Took Us To Space Popular Science 2024-03-22 | The Space Race, the Cold War, and the Moon Landing all have an origin story connected to a small, obscure silver iron mining operation in the mountains of Lower Saxony in Germany – and it’s such a complex, unbelievable tale that it exposes our most dangerous intersections of science and morality.14 tons of buried paper determined the fate of the world and kicked off humanity’s exploration of space.We already know the end of the story: we know about Sputnik and Apollo 11, we know about Werner von Braun, and we know about Operation Paperclip. But pulling the threads of NASA and the Soviet Union’s Vostok program unravels an unknown World War II race between trucks and time, a struggle of secrets and survival, and a twist-filled tale of man, mind, and morality.What you need to know is that story’s beginning – and if you don’t know it already, that’s because they never told you.#spacerace #coldwar #science #history
Planets As Animals - To Scale 3D Mass Comparison Popular Science 2024-03-13 | If Earth is a labrador dog and Venus is a human child, then gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter must also match masses with their own animals… like an African forest elephant and a herd of 7 giraffes. You can understand the real scale of vast celestial bodies by comparing their relative sizes to animals on Earth that we’re familiar with -- and then you can see them all in 360-degree 3D animation. We’ve paired the real scale of all the planets in our solar system to a range of small and large animals worldwide, like Pluto as a tiny black rat and Mercury as a kitten -- and of course, the Sun, which by comparison to the planets has a scaled mass of 78 blue whales.The cosmos is everywhere, all around us, all the time… it just depends on your perspective.

Why Do We Put Holes In Our Head? Popular Science 2024-03-06 | The $15,000 A.I. from 1983: youtu.be/Ra9ov-ud_Q0Scraping, grinding, or drilling a hole through the thick, hard skull that evolution developed to protect our most sensitive contents might be one of humanity’s worst ideas -- and also one of our best.We have no idea how it started, or why the first trepanner thought it would fix anything. We just know that nearly every civilization worldwide has been drilling holes in heads for at least 7,000 years. Sometimes it actually worked. Sometimes it… didn’t. Unraveling the impossibly-complex story of trepanning exposes a deep conceptual understanding of the relationship between the brain and behavior. It reveals our desire to take drastic measures to preserve the lives of people who are important to us, whether their value is practical or emotional. And the development of trepanning from Neolithic peoples to the Greeks and Incas and modern trauma surgeons takes a winding road through horrors and genius.Trepanning evolved alongside our understanding of biology, physics, and even consciousness, with both its tools and practices reflecting our increasing knowledge and our changing attitudes toward health and human life. Love stories. Skull jewelry. Headache cures. Experimental psychosurgery. A few people who just wanted to chill. It’s all trepanning.And the most remarkable thing about this seemingly-crude phenomenon is how it not only persists, but that it might actually be an important part of our plan for tomorrow.So sharpen an old rock, measure your brainbloodvolume, and grab a watermelon to practice on.

From 1983 Popular Science 2024-03-06 | Why Do We Put Holes In Our Head? youtu.be/NnHaAZAFAToBefore responsive, voice-controlled assistants like Alexa and Siri, we had the “Butler in a Box” -- which its maker Mastervoice and its creator Gus Searcy described as “The world’s first artificial intelligent environmental control system for the home.”It… wasn’t very intelligent, despite claiming it could control all your devices, call 16 people, speak 4 languages, and provide home security.1983 was the beginning of the era of the personal computer, and the Commodore64 was a bestseller. Video games and electronics of all kinds were fascinating. If we could digitize work and fun, why couldn’t we have a futuristic helper to at least turn on the lights for us?It really was the stuff of science fiction: a little bit HAL-9000, a little bit Star Trek, and some of a horror movie called “Demon Seed” that you’ve probably never even heard of. How do we get the best out of that technology while avoiding the bad parts? That is, if it works at all. The story of the Butler in a Box is more interesting than the technology itself. It’s the story of a teen financier who became a magician, a man who owned a 7-11 and invented a cannon to feed fish -- until he was involved in a murder trial. It’s the story of having a great idea and then finding out that the real cost is about 20 times higher than you thought it would be.It’s the story of the promise of being first… and all the problems that come with it.And it’s the story of Kevin trying to turn a lamp on 40 years later (nearly impossible).Partner with us: youtube@popsci.com** SOURCES / FURTHER INVESTIGATION **“Popular Science” March 1987: books.google.com/books?id=3AAAAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=falseCelGenStudios, “The Butler in a Box”: youtu.be/9o3oFXbSqWwCelGenStudios, “Reverse-Engineering the Security Module in a Mastervoice Butler in a Box”: youtu.be/4LGx4QsDprY** SPECIAL THANKS **Guitar-Making Wizard: Tom LieberElectronics Wizard: Neal Newman#ai #artificialintelligence #technology #science #innovation

EV Batteries: They’re Not All The Same Popular Science 2023-06-30 | Underneath the hood of an electric vehicle is the car’s battery pack. That lithium-ion battery is where the car stores all its energy. In this video, Popular Science explores the most common battery types used today by automakers: NMC, NCA and LFP. While they might all look the same, there are some big differences between them. We explain how building batteries made from more abundant materials like iron, allows batteries to be more cost effective, more sustainable and more durable than batteries that rely on critical materials like nickel and cobalt.We partnered with @ournextenergy to show how lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is making a big difference in the future of electrification.

What happens to your body when you die in space? Popular Science 2021-04-13 | NASA isn't sure what to do with corpses in space, but they may need to figure it out soon.Of the more than 550 people we've sent into the cosmos, just 21 have died—and only 3 actually above the boundary between Earth and space—since humankind first took to strapping ourselves to rockets. When there have been fatalities, the entire crew has been lost, leaving no one to rescue. But as we move closer to a human mission to Mars, there's a higher likelihood that individuals could be stranded or even perish—whether that's on the way, while living in harsh environments, or at some other point of the mission. **Correction: April 15, 2021The video misstates the distance from Earth to the Moon.

The TRUE STORY of Hitchcock’s The Birds | Science Stranger than Fiction || Wild Lives Ep. 2 Popular Science 2020-11-19 | LIKE, THIS REALLY HAPPENED. Alfred Hitchcock’s classic THE BIRDS is, in part, inspired by a very real phenomenon that occurred in Santa Cruz, California in 1961. One night, inexplicably, thousands of sooty shearwater birds lost their minds, dive-bombing into homes and even biting people. But, for 50 years, no one knew why… That is, until Dr. Sibel Bargu Ates connected dots throughout history through meticulous (and rather imaginative) archive specimen research. This is a Hitchcockian mystery wrapped in a scientific paper—a biological whodunnit. Also, in this video: we uncover a horrifying first hand account of the true-life bird invasion (which overlaps in a way with another Hitchcock film, PSYCHO). And, learn how birds flock and move together. In fact, a 1986 computer program helped solve the puzzle of how they actually fly so close without every bird in a flock ricocheting off each other like pinballs. Said another way, this is a story all about bird brains. ► WATCH! every single episode of WILD LIVES here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLypxfyD4KH9kz-VkE2iGbfik935mZRXO1► THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING LION IN THE WORLD.

A caffeine detox destroyed me || Test Dummy Ep. 3 || Popular Science (#stayhome and #learn #withme) Popular Science 2020-04-14 | Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive drug on the planet. Like all good things in this world, it should be consumed in moderation—but PopSci editors Jess Boddy and Claire Maldarelli were definitely not following that unwritten rule, guzzling between six and ten cups of coffee per day. That put them at risk for disrupted sleep, heart palpitations, unusual nervousness, and more. So they decided to detox. Will their torturous 14-day cut regulate their sleep patterns and teach them to respect caffeine for the powerful drug that it is?

Eleanor Cummins, a freelance science and technology writer (and meditation app expert), joins in to answer Jess' questions and try sleep meditation for the first time using Calm.
