Albert Einstein Explains His Famous Formula E=mc² in His Own Voice [Video]
E=mc² is probably the world’s most famous equation. It means “Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.” The formula implies that a small amount of rest mass corresponds to an enormous amount of energy, which is the physics…
How far away can you see with the naked eye when you look at the sky?
An interesting question: if you look up in the Earth’s sky with the naked eye, assuming you have healthy vision, how far away can you see? Could you see beyond the Milky Way galaxy, for example?

How Many Stars Can One See with the Naked Eye?
When you look up at the night sky in a place without light pollution, the view is magnificent: thousands of stars and the Milky Way galaxy offer a unique visual feast. But have you ever wondered how many stars you…
Earth’s Curvature: How High Must You Be to See It?
At what altitude can you start seeing the curvature of the Earth? Is it visible from the top of a skyscraper, a mountain peak, or a passenger plane? Can a high-altitude balloon provide a clear view, or is it something…
How fast do meteorites hit the ground?
When a meteoroid, a rocky or metallic body from outer space, enters Earth’s atmosphere, it’s called a meteor. If it’s large enough, it can survive the atmospheric entry and reach the Earth’s surface at tremendous speeds, becoming a meteorite. But…
