Testing a Model Using a Simple Simulation
In this video, the teacher explains the concept of conducting a simulation to determine if a model is consistent with given results. Using the example of a basketball player's free throw percentage, the teacher demonstrates how to design...

Aliens
Is it aliens? Probably not. Why? Because we don't know almost everything, and finding an explanation that could explain almost anything doesn't recognize that there is a whole lot we don't know. We are so extremely biased toward thinking...

Supercomputer Simulations Test Star-destroying Black Holes
Watch as eight stars skirt a black hole 1 million times the mass of the Sun in these supercomputer simulations. As they approach, all are stretched and deformed by the black hole’s gravity. Some are completely pulled apart into a long...

NASA | NASA Upgrades Chamber A to enable testing of Webb Telescope
When the next-generation space telescope was being designed, engineers had to ensure there was a place large enough to test it, considering it's as big as a tennis court. That honor fell upon the famous "Chamber A" in the thermal-vacuum...

NASA | Towers in the Tempest
A hurricane's "hot towers" can increase its intensity by adding power to boost the storm's heat engine. For the first time, research meteorologists have run complex simulations of these phenomena using a very fine temporal resolution....

Variations in Assumptions - Sensativity Analysis
A sensitivity analysis is used to test how variations in specific factors affect an outcome. The assumptions employed as part of the situational analysis are generally based on historical information, hypotheical contexts, and constancy
