whaazzzzzup?
My name is Michael Stevens and I am trying to bring whazzzup back.
Please help me.
Also please sit up and get ready because my energy is poppin like popopopcorn.com.
a delicious, buttery, DONG: something you can do online now guys.
Have you heard of Google.com?
It’s a popular search engine on the internet.
googOL, on the other hand, is the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes.
It is a very VERY big number.
So big, it is bigger than the mass of the observable universe in kilograms.
So big, it’s more numerous than the number of elementary particles in the observable universe.
For those of you who like factorials, it’s approximately equal to 70!. That's 1x2x3x4x5x6x all the
way up to 70.
But what about a “1” followed by not one hundred zeros… but a GOOGOL ZEROS?
Well that number is called a GOOGOLPLEX.
It’s size is unfathomable.
But also a DONG. You can see it online.
Kind of.
At googolPLEXwrittenout.com.
Beginning with 1 and then across this many volumes of 1 million zeroes each, the full
written out form of a googolplex can be called forth.
You can navigate to the volume of your choice and even order a physical printed copy of
the volume delivered to your door.
If you like more variety in your digits, go watch the rivetting and in my opinion, oscar-snubbed short
film “100,000 digits of pi in 5 minutes” on YouTube.
Also, UR-IN luck: Ptable.com is not about liquid human waste it’s a fantastic online periodic
table.
Clicking an element open the corresponding wikpedia page or use it to see what state
each element is in at different temperatures or check out their orbital configurations
and more.
Tired of the traidtional periodic table?
Well check out alternate arragements with the periodic table of periodic tables.
Each cell links to a different way of organizing every type of atom in the known universe as
well as other things. Some even organize arrangements of those atoms.
But if physics simulations are what you’re looking for
bounce on over to freezeray.com where simple demonstrations of concepts like bouncing, lenses, color
filters and forces are made intuitive through interaction.
You can even see how near and far sighted people are helped by different types of lenses.
Want more?
Well don’t fret just PHET
A website with all types of neat physics simulations. I really like the energy skate park where
you can manipulate mass, friction, and more.
Watch how mass changes potential and kinetic energy.
Or how more friction means more lost as thermal energy.
Look at you taking charge!
But what kind of charge?
Well find out with the Name That Charge interactive.
You will be given a variety of situations where you have to determine the charge of
the objects provided.
Once you think you know the answer, click “check.”
Yes!
I am so smart!
Okay, okay maybe I need to come back down to earth where there's gravity.
Actually I don’t have to come back down to Earth for that because there is gravity
in space as well.
Just check this out.
Gravity simulator.
Select from stars, asteroids, and planets.
Give them an initial push and see what they do.
You can change their masses and watch the effect it has on the others.
On the right you can change certain settings like the law of gravity as we know it or whether
we see the trails.
If you love long but descriptive URLs try http://www.physics-chemistry-interactive-flash-animation.com/
This site allows you to play around with states of matter, additive and subtractive color,
prisms, and more.
Dissect a frog without needing gloves with this DONG. You’re guided through the
steps of a virtual dissection using tools to slit and cut the skin as well as to remove
organs.
Nice.
Falstad.com is CHOCK FULL of awesome physics applets.
Like WAVEBOX.
Explore the properties of scalar waves in 3D.
Use a single slit or a double slit.
Ooooh look at that interference.
You can also investigate slices of the simulation and tweak many many variables however you wish.
Their “sense of scale” section is a pretty good read, too.
Finally, minutelabs.io
All the coolness of minutephysics but interactive!
Learn about e=mc2, relativity, or numbers.
Right here I’ve got a gird of natural numbers in which every PRIME NUMBER is colored in.
now fibonaci numbers are highlighted.
Try spirals and pyramids and oh my.
Ya know what? I’m going to have to let you guys go so I can spend more time exploring this.
Go explore these DONGs yourself. You can do it right now. They are all linked below in this video's description.
Stay curious, keep feeding your brain knowledge, and subscribe to DONG for more DONGs and as always, thanks
for watching.
