    How do airplanes actually remain in flight? - Raymond Adkins

    Explore the physics of flight, and discover how aerodynamic lift generates the force needed for planes to fly.--By 1917, Albert Einstein had explained the relationship between space and time. But, that year, he designed a flawed airplane wing. His attempt was based on an incomplete theory of how flight works. Indeed, insufficient and inaccurate explanations still circulate today. So, where did Einstein go wrong? And how exactly do planes fly? Raymond Adkins explains the concept of aerodynamic lift.Lesson by Raymond Adkins, directed by Michael Kalopaidis, Zedem Media.This video made possible in collaboration with Marriott HotelsLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnersSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-airplanes-stay-in-the-air-raymond-adkinsDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-airplanes-stay-in-the-air-raymond-adkins#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://zedemanimations.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    What happens if a manufactured virus escapes the lab?

    How do we keep labs that handle dangerous pathogens safe and leak-free? Dig into the ongoing debate over virology research. --Since the 1970s, researchers have engineered superbugs. While this research could help us prepare for future outbreaks, the stakes of this work are extremely high: if even one dangerous virus escaped a lab, it could cause a global pandemic. So, what can we do to minimize risk? And is the knowledge gained even worth the risk in the first place?

    The myth of the stolen eyeballs - Nathan D. Horowitz

    Discover the Siekopai myth of the air goblins, spirits who fly and control the winds, as they clash with the human world. --Deep in the Amazon rainforest in the river Nea’ocoyá lived a school of particularly big and tasty fish. When the rains came and the water rose the fish appeared, and swam away as the waters fell. Villagers along the river followed them to a lagoon and set up camp. But their young shaman soon sensed they might not be completely alone. Nathan D. Horowitz details the Siekopai myth of the air goblins.Lesson by Nathan D.

    Got seeds? Just add bleach, acid, and sandpaper - Mary Koga

    View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/got-seeds-just-add-bleach-acid-and-sandpaper-mary-kogaFor a seed to start growing, its embryo must emerge from its hard coat. In nature the embryo is aided by frost and animal digestion -- but humans can help too. Nicking, filing, and soaking the seed in hot water or acid are all forms of scarification, or ways to speed up germination by breaking down the shell. Mary Koga offers some tips to spur your sprouts (and don't forget the bleach!). Lesson by Mary Koga, animation by Provincia Studio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Can you freeze your body and be revived? - Shannon N. Tessier

    Dig into the field of cryobiology and explore the possibility of humans being frozen and preserved for future resurrection.--In 1967, James Bedford had a plan to cheat death. He was the first person to be cryogenically frozen. This process promised to preserve his body until a theoretical future when humanity could cure any illness, and essentially, reverse death. So is it possible to freeze a human, preserve them indefinitely, and then thaw them out? Shannon N. Tessier explores the challenges of human cryopreservation.Lesson by Shannon N.
