Good game design is essential for a positive player experience whether it's a board games, video game, or even dice game. So today, we're going to take some time to give you an introductory overview of the process of creating a game, and...

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle might not mean what you think it means: Hank clears things up for us in this edition of IDTIMWYTIM, by distinguishing between the Uncertainty Principle and the Observer Effect, which are often conflated.

If you trace your way back along the tree of life, eventually you'd come face-to-face with the very first animal. But what exactly would that animal have looked like?

Navi Radjou has spent years studying "jugaad," also known as frugal innovation. Pioneered by entrepreneurs in emerging markets who figured out how to get spectacular value from limited resources, the practice has now caught on globally....

Insects and animals have evolved some amazing skills -- but, as Robert Full notes, many animals are actually over-engineered. The trick is to copy only what's necessary. He shows how human engineers can learn from animals' tricks.

A brief intro to the current theory of (almost) everything - the Standard Model of particle physics. It's like cake, only universal.

The shower isn't supposed to be a dangerous place, but once you turn on the water, you might be attacked by your shower curtain. But don't blame the curtain! Blame physics!

Noah Feldman makes a searing case that both politics and religion -- whatever their differences -- are similar technologies, designed to efficiently connect and manage any group of people.

A clever mechanical proof of Snell's law.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini is very excited to start talking about Fluids. You see, she's a Fluid Dynamicist and Mechanical Engineer, so fluids are really important to her. Actually they're really important to anyone...

Imagine, for a second, a duck teaching a French class. A ping-pong match in orbit around a black hole. A dolphin balancing a pineapple. You probably haven't actually seen any of these things. But you could imagine them instantly. How...

The basic idea of human rights is that each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are born, is entitled to the same basic rights and freedoms. That may sound straightforward enough, but it gets incredibly complicated as soon as...

Here's a paradox you don't hear much about: despite a century of creating machines to do our work for us, the proportion of adults in the uS with a job has consistently gone up for the past 125 years. Why hasn't human labor become...

On March 15th, 44 BCE, Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of about 60 of his own senators. Why did these self-titled Liberators want him dead? And why did Brutus, whose own life had been saved by Caesar, join in the...

The basic idea of human rights is that each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are born, is entitled to the same basic rights and freedoms. That may sound straightforward enough, but it gets incredibly complicated as soon as...

While we might consider elections to be the cornerstone of democracy, the Athenians who coined the term actually employed a lottery system to choose most of their politicians. Melissa Schwartzberg describes the ins and outs of the...

If you've ever taken a science or math class, you've probably seen the name "Bernoulli" -- and maybe you assumed it was one person, but that family had a squad of mathematicians.

New ReviewLearn Bernoulli’s Principle with a straw and a ping pong ball. A fun and simple physics demo to see pressure differences in action!

New ReviewA beach ball floating in mid-air, held up by nothing but a leaf blower. It looks like a magic trick — but it's actually Bernoulli's Principle at work. Faster-moving air has lower pressure, so the airstream creates a pressure difference...

A question I get asked a lot is ‘When should I develop a business case for my project?’ That's the question I answer in this video. This video is not about what a business case is, nor about how to create one.

In this project team leadership video, I tackle the absolute fundamentals of leading a project team, that every project leader needs to know.

Managers have a vast amount of things to do and, as your career progresses, your list will only grow! So, prioritization is a critical skill to master. In this video, I'll give you all the basics of how to do it easily and effectively.

Can you blow a ping pong ball out of a funnel? Learn how Bernoulli’s Principle explains why you can't—demonstrated clearly and simply by Mr. P from Flipping Physics.

In this video Bill Thisdell explores which policies pursued by Charles during his Personal Rule caused the most political friction and what happened when, forced by war with the Scots, Parliament was finally recalled.
