It would take a whole fleet of jumbo jets to lift the water needed for a small cumulus cloud. So how does our atmosphere do it?

Some notes about this.

We each repeated the experiment 3 times, and got the same results every time. For those of you who might be skeptical, great! The good news is that right circularly prismatic kiddie pools are only $10 and you can do the experiment for yourself at your latitude. There's really no reason you shouldn't do this on your own, so before you criticize how we've done it, I'd strongly encourage you to do it for yourself.

Gordon McGladdery did all of the sound design for the video. We used two songs from other artists (licensed of course). Derek split the first one up so it fades from video to video, and Gordon split the instruments up on the second one. There are violins on one video and percussion on the other for example. It's really neat.


The neat earth animation at the beginning and the synchronizing timer was made by Michael Hannah of http://eisenfeuer.com/. He also made still images of the earth from the top and the bottom.

Brenden Bourne It's actually far worse here in the UK, because over here there are 6 parties that now consistently get significant numbers of votes. In the US FPTP somewhat still works, because for the most part there are still only 2 parties that get the vast, vast majority of votes. The most significant problems with the US election system is gerrymandering (for Congress) and the Electoral College (for President).

Brenden Bourne Choice means nothing when the system is FPTP and gives the seat to whichever candidate gets the plurality, which is almost never also the majority when you've got more than two or three candidates.

The Counterintuitive Physics of Steering a Bike

And before you ask, no, you can't just lean and turn... Think about every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and what direction the bike must lean if you move your body to one side :).

Henry Reich

July 16, 2015 17:22:55

Michael Richters You think you can't initiate a turn without counter-steering? Not true, as my kids demonstrate to me daily in our bakfiets. Yes, of course simply leaning your torso to one side will cause the bike to tilt the opposite way, but you are neglecting lateral forces that one can apply against the road through the tires. Most bicycles don't have frictionless tires.

July 16, 2015 17:45:57 · Reply

Henry Reich Lateral forces only come from being off balance, not from simply leaning. In order to actually start falling, you must have counter steered (perhaps unintentionally) at least a tiny bit. It's very hard to notice sometimes.

July 16, 2015 17:49:27 · Reply

Michael Richters Counter-steering is certainly the usual way of doing it, and it can be very subtle, but it is not the only way to create the lean necessary for a turn. This would be obvious if you rode a bicycle with a passenger (who has no access to the steering mechanism). When they shift their weight around, they transmit forces through the tires, resisted by the road, causing a lateral wight shift. This effect is not subtle, and is completely independent of my steering motions. Also, if you think active counter-steering is the only way to create a lean, how do you explain the fact that people steer bikes hands-free?

July 16, 2015 18:01:39 · Reply

Henry Reich Ah, I see what the confusion is - by "counter steering" I just mean that the handlebars will turn, not that they have to be actively turned by a rider. For a passenger I'm sure they make it harder to steer, and can change the weight distribution considerably, but if the passenger moves to the right, the bike should lean to the left. Which way does it steer then? If you search for "bricycle" you will find videos of a bike that's been modified to make it un-steerable by leaning.

July 16, 2015 18:13:54 · Reply

Henry Reich I guess what I'm trying to say more specifically is that for a balanced bicycle moving in a perfectly straight line to initiate a turn in one direction, the front wheel contact point has to first move slightly (often imperceptibly) in the other direction. This is a mathematically demonstrated fact.

July 16, 2015 18:19:08 · Reply

Michael Richters Oh, yes, I'm familiar with the "bricycle". You're still failing to understand one thing, though. When the passenger moves laterally, he does push on the bike. And the *bike* leans the opposite way, but that's not all that matters. What really matters is not the angle between the ground and the vertical axis of the frame; what matters is the lateral position of the center of mass of the bicycle/rider system and the point of contact at the ground. If I push against the frame, some of that force leans the bike, but some is resisted by the road, because the wheels don't slip. That moves the center of mass laterally without any steering.

July 16, 2015 18:58:36 · Reply

Michael Richters Something you could try that might convince you (or perhaps you'll see a flaw that I haven't) — stand on one foot, and jump to one side. Then do the same and jump to the other side. You didn't have to first move your foot out from under you, did you? The same should be true of a bicycle. The fact that the rider is free to apply forces from many different points in many directions greatly complicates the question, doesn't it?

July 16, 2015 19:04:20 · Reply

Henry Reich A foot is totally different - it has multiple contact points with the ground, allowing you to apply torques at the ground which help you start leaning in various directions. Where is the torque coming from on a bike to move the center of mass away from the contact point? The rider certainly can't create that torque from inside the system just by changing their mass distribution inside the system. An outside torque/force not at the pivot point is necessary. Gravity is this force (hence the unrideability of the bricycle).

July 16, 2015 19:13:30 · Reply

Michael Richters It can be done on ice skates, too, which are even narrower than bicycle tires. But since that doesn't convince you… Let the rider lean one way, the bike the other way, the let the rider exert a force along the rider's axis, which is now not in line with the point of contact. You must see that this force would be resisted by the ground, and allow the center of mass of the system to shift laterally. This is almost identical to a man in a canoe, who moves from the front end to the back end. The canoe moves under him so that their colnective center of mass doesn't move — but only if there is zero resistance from the water. If we replace the water with a more viscous fluid, that center of mass moves more, until that fluid becomes effectively solid, and the canoe doesn't move at all. The bicycle also doesn't have complete freedom of motion. Lateral forces, even internal ones, cause the bike to lean, but they also push the bike's tires against the road, and that resultant force from the road causes the system's center of mass to move.

July 16, 2015 19:36:21 · Reply

Sergio I Montserrat S And this effect is more noticeable in a bike, where wheel mass and rotation are higher, thus the forces involved in keeping the vehicle upright are higher, and thus riders have to consciously apply counterrotation when they are learning to drive. We don't notice in bicicles because forces are smaller.

July 17, 2015 02:04:25 · Reply

Sergio I Montserrat S It doesn't compare, since the foot and ice skates don't have a torque that works as a gyroscope that actively resists a change in inertia. All other examples you gave also fail to include a gyroscopic stabilizing influence.

Devil Facial Tumor Disease


A big thanks to Harry's for choosing to sponsor science content and allowing me to make a donation to Tasmanian Devil DFTD vaccine research. Consider picking up an awesome Razor. Several of my friends have asked me if it was worth it, and I said yes. Every single one came back to me and agreed after the fact. http://www.harrys.com/  Promo code: SMARTER


Consider donating to research that could save the Tasmanian Devil.

Earl D Yates Thanks Destin! While I hope that these Scientists are able to find a way to stop the spread of this disease, there are some far reaching implications. This is the first time that I've ever heard of a cancer that is contagious. If a strain of cancer can become communicable among Tasmanian Devils, there is a possibility that some strain of cancer could mutate and become contagious between humans. So, helping to find a cure for these rare critters may in turn, help to prevent a similar outbreak among the human species.

SpaceVR Could VR help the scientist solve this?

Scott reads tweets on the ISS! Tweet him and see if he replies! http://bit.ly/TwtStnTour

Please consider following Scott on both Instagram and Twitter. This will probably be NASA's measure of how successful working with Smarter Every Day is.

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.

The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!


If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:

Brian Antonelli Awesome video, thanks Destin! Call me crazy, but I would love to see a video just on how you produced the radar. :)

Jason VandenBerghe This was AWESOME. And, it might seem like a little thing, but thanks for the Patreon shout-out. Somehow made it real that we're all doing this. :P
