Real Clever Science

My name is Ari Einbinder. This is the journal of my travels into the realm of science and science education.
I've worked at science museums in NY (NYSCI and AMNH) and across Europe. Currently I'm studying "museology" (aka museum studies) at UW in Seattle, WA. I'm also one of Tumblr's Science Section editors.

I discuss anything that fascinates me, but popular topics include evolution, transhumanism (e.g BCI), futurism, psychology, quantum computing, climate change, sustainability, genetic engineering and occasionally politics - to name a few.

Enjoy!

comrade-ringo: 4lughero: No matter how long the slinky is, the bottom of the slinky will stay still (hover) until the top reaches it. Even if the slinky is over 1000 feet long. This kind of shit is why I love physics. Science! Woah. Is this for real? Any physics fans have more info and can possibly explain this without too much jargon?   Update: More info at blogs.discovermagazine.com P.s. Source seems to be the youtuber 1veritasium’s science channel. Seems pretty good, check it out!
