Science Freaks

I have always loved Science Experiments. When I was younger, I would head to Toys R' Us and would pick out those boxes with experiments in them. (Yes, then I would use the 'hug the toy and not want to go home till it's bought' method)

The experiments were basically amateur ones, like cornflour (with water..duh) that prevents an egg from breaking despite being a liquid. And chemistry sets like changing the colours of water in test tubes (back then I had no idea what copper(ii) sulphate was what....)

Till now, I still find the self made fire balls to be the coolest, yet have not had the "mood" to make one yet.





And it was only yesterday that I found more cool science videos on Youtube.

Yes, I love nerdy stuffs too. It's hot.


For the first video, it's something to do with dry ice. I love dry ice, and when I was working in Wall's Ice Cream, I would sneak a few dry home home. I love throwing them on the floor, and then see how the "smoke" spreads all over, like some vampire show.





I only wished the bubble would have formed fully. I'd like to see how it floats or something like that. But this is still cool. And the replay part with it going backwards was nice too. Dry Ice anyone?



The second one. No one said that water can be lighted with fire, till now.





The third one. Have you ever wondered what makes the loud noise (thunder). I was told(back then) that rain was god's way of relieving himself/crying. And thunder is when two clouds bump into one another. But they were too soft to do it, weren't they? So I found out that truth.




Liquid Nitrogen please! It can help to make Ice-cream too!


The fourth one is AWESOME. I love gummy bears but I had no idea that it could form a reaction so COOL. hahah.








And lastly, I want a BristleBot too!!!!

Questions that people can't answer

While waiting for my mum to finish up her haircut, I went to Bugis Junction's Kinokuniya to complete on the book "Ways to live forever" by Sally Nicholls.

And so, the idea from today's post is from that book.

Questions that people can't answer.

They are basically questions bottled up in me, that people have not answered yet.

• Have you ever wondered how it would feel when you're dead?
• How do you know that you are dead?
• Why are we here on Earth?
• What is life about?
  
• If God treats humans as His kids, then why see them suffer with diseases and war? Is it a punishment?
  
• How would you know if a ghost is haunting you if you can't see it. Even if you can see it, how do you know that it is a ghost?
• Why do scientists create diseases only to cure them later?
• Why does the hand on the clock only move clockwise?
• Clouds are made of water vapour. So why do they not evaporate or condense?
• Where do emotions come from?
• How come the bases Adenine, thymine, Guanine and Cytosine in DNA always are able to find its pair so perfectly. Do they not mix up with foreign particles?
• Why should we believe the things that are told to us today?
• If the Big Bang created Universe, then where did Big Bang take place?
• How long before science or any other religion, can find the answers to all our questions?
• What are numbers? Really, what is a two? Or three?
• Why are humans more superior than the other animals? Is it because we can speak and walk on two legs?
• Why is sleep a sleep? What happens when we sleep? Does our mind do things on its own when we're asleep?
• What are dreams? How are they formed?
• Why is the hair on our body different from the ones on our head and pubes?

I think that is all for now. My mind is filled with so many questions that it's starting to become confusing.


Well, till then.



Loves.
