This Is Why Bananas Are Curved
Bananas: a great source of potassium, an excellent source of vitamins, and—as everyone knows—the most recognizable fruit on the planet. After all, you don't come across many fruits that look like crescent moons. (Or… Um… Something else.) Moreover, not every banana is the same. Some are more curved, some are less. What's the deal? -

Which way does water swirl? (Coriolis Effect)
Does the water really spiral one way down the plughole of a bath in the Northern Hemisphere and the other way in the South? Folk wisdom has always suggested that it might be so. But has anyone bothered to check – scientifically, that is? The question of which way the water whirls isn’t easy to settle. Complicating factors are at work. Is the bath precisely level and symmetric? And how much are the contents of the bath, and hence the vortex, disturbed when someone gets out of the bath? According to theory the water should swirl in the opposite sense in the two hemispheres because of the Coriolis effect. This is best understood by thinking about an ice skater who’s doing a pirouette. The more she pulls in her arms, the faster she spins. A basic law of physics, the law of conservation of angular momentum, tries to keep the hands turning at the same speed when close to the body as when outstretched. A similar thing happens when you travel north or south from the equator on the spinning Earth; nature strives to maintain your eastward speed as you leave the large circle of the equator (equivalent to outstretched arms) and move to smaller orbits (equivalent to pulling your arms in). Consequently, all things heading away from the equator get a small eastward nudge, while objects moving toward the equator are pulled westward. Strange effects can ensue. For instance, if a cannonball were fired from the equator at a target exactly north of it, the ball would be moving at 1,000 mph (as would be the cannon and everything else on the equator) when it left the cannon's mouth. Its target to the north would be moving eastward more slowly, however, and so the ball would land to the east of its intended mark. The Coriolis effect complicates the navigation of high-speed planes and missiles and has a decisive influence on the circulation patterns of oceans and winds. But what about the water in a bath tub? Just before it disappears over the edge of the drain, the water heading toward the equator is nudged to the west and the water approaching from the other side of the plughole, moving away from the equator, is pushed to the east. The result: a Coriolis tendency for the water in, say, Newcastle, England, to spiral counter-clockwise and in Newcastle, Australia, to spin the other way. But it is a very, very small tendency. And, in practice, commonsense insists it must be completely masked by other factors, such as the random disturbances caused by getting out of the bath and pulling the plug, or the geometry of the bath. Casual observation confirms this and it is not unusual to see the water reverse its direction of rotation even during a single outflow. The fact is, the water in an ordinary bathtub, sloshing about with all manner of currents, hasn't a chance of showing an effect that really only comes into its own over large differences of latitude. And yet, under strict laboratory conditions the Coriolis effect can be detected. Experiments carried out, appropriately enough in Watertown, Massachusetts, in Cambridge, England, and in Sydney, Australia, all gave positive results. The Australian team concluded: "We have acquired confidence in the hypothesis that carefully performed experiments on liquid drainage from a tank will show clockwise rotation, if done in the Southern Hemisphere." #water_swirl #coriolis_effect #direction

Water rotation in two hemispheres and on the Equator
We have heard the theory: water going down the drain spins in different directions depending on which hemisphere you're in. But what if you are at the Equator and then move a few meters towards the Southern hemisphere, then move back towards the Northern hemisphere and try the same thing? Can a few meters make a difference? Watch this and let us know your thoughts!

Why Some Men Can't Grow Beards
We asked a dermatologist to explain the scientific reasons that some men aren't able to grow thick, dense facial hair. Dr. Jennifer Chwalek is a Board Certified dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York. Chwalek explained that an inability to grow thick facial hair is not directly related to low levels of testosterone. Facial hair growth is largely determined by genetics, which can determine the number of hair follicles a person has, as well as how the follicles react to a byproduct of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone. ------------------------------------------------------ #Beard #FacialHair #ScienceInsider Following is a transcript of the video: Narrator: Look at that beard. The density. The thickness. It's what a beard is supposed to be! Not this. This is my beard, if you even want to call it a beard. This footage was taken after I let it grow for two weeks. Two weeks! It's thin, patchy, and in some spots there's no hair at all. Sad. But let's look at this one again. This is Kevin. We're around the same age, both Caucasian males of Irish descent. You could say we have a lot in common, except in the facial hair department. So, I asked a dermatologist about why he's able to grow a beard and I'm not. Dr. Jennifer Chwalek: It's based on genetics as well as hormones. Some men, you know, have more hair follicles, so they can grow denser, coarser beards than others. Testosterone gets converted in the hair follicle to a more potent form called dihydrotestosterone. Some hair follicles have receptors on them that are very sensitive to this higher form of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and that will stimulate hair growth. Graham Flanagan: How would you characterize my facial hair? Dr. Chwalek: I'd say it's like, sparse, and you have light-colored hair, so it doesn't show up quite as much. Flanagan: I can't really grow a great beard. It's been a problem. I want one. I wanna look like my colleague, Kevin. I mean, look at that beard. It is just glorious. Why can't I grow a beard like Kevin? Dr. Chwalek: Well, Kevin has some good hair genes, so because of that, the hair follicles on his face are more sensitive to the effects of a form of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone which can help to stimulate thicker, coarser, longer hair growth in some areas of the body like the beard area. Narrator: Beards and facial hair have long been associated with masculinity and virility. I began to wonder if my inability to grow thick facial hair like Kevin makes me less of a man. Flanagan: Does the fact that I can't grow a beard, does it make mean that I have low testosterone? Dr. Chwalek: No. Men who can't grow a beard or have patchy beards usually have normal testosterone levels. It isn't a reflection of having low testosterone or being deficient in testosterone. Flanagan: So, you can still be virile — Dr. Chwalek: Right. Flanagan: And grow a crappy beard like this? Dr. Chwalek: Yes. Flanagan: Okay, good. Narrator: And in fact, there are some ways to increase the chances of growing facial hair, but shaving more often isn't one of them. Dr. Chwalek: So, the idea that shaving can impact hair growth is actually a myth. When you're shaving, you're just cutting the hair off at the surface of the skin, and what's controlling the hair growth is really occurring deeper in the skin. So, it shouldn't have any impact on how quickly the hair grows, or how dense the hair grows. People have tried topical Rogaine or Minoxidil. These things may stimulate a little hair growth, but assuming it's due to genetics, then you're kind of stuck with what you have. Flanagan: It's all about the sensitivity of the hair follicles and how they interact with this — Dr. Chwalek: Dihydrotestosterone or androgens in the blood. Flanagan: So, you're saying that, that his hair follicles are "sensitive." Dr. Chwalek: Yes. Flanagan: See, mine aren't. Dr. Chwalek: Right. Flanagan: They aren't sensitive. They're like rocks. They have no sensitivity at all. Okay, so I win that! Dr. Chwalek: Right. Science Insider tells you all you need to know about science: space, medicine, biotech, physiology, and more.

Everything you need for an Aquarium! (Beginner's series)
Not sure what happened to this upload yesterday as it decided to go blank and not show any video or sound. Youtube could not fix it either so here we are round two. I thought this would be a good place to start for a new fishkeeper, or maybe you are already an aquascaper wanting to make sure you have everything. This video builds a good foundation before I set up more aquariums on the channel. In this episode we go through everything you need to start up a successful community fish tank. We go through everything: filters, heaters, led lighting, tap safe etc. Once I start setting up new aquariums on the channel, any of you wanting to know the shopping list for a new fish tank can come back to this video and work out what you need.
