days is how long it would take to count to one million if you counted each number for one second.

Countonemillion.com is currently counting up to 1 million. It started a few days ago.

It will continue for a few more days. If you're anxious to see it hit 1 million you can pay money to

fast-forward it. That's right the rich get everything

But you can have these for free these are fewer than a million DONGs things you can do online now guys.

The International Space Station is constantly whizzing around the earth sometimes right above your head other times

directly between you and the Sun or moon

ISS

Transit Finder allows you to put in your latitude and longitude to find out when that will occur. Now smarter every day has a fantastic

video documenting what it looks like when the International Space Station passes in front of not just the Sun

but the Sun and

the moon

during an eclipse.

I highly recommend watching it because to see a still image is one thing but to see it happen in real

Time really gives you a sense of how small the ISS is and how quickly it's orbiting Earth. Of course it is

Quiet up there in space, so let's stay down here on earth and listen

to a gif?

You heard me right. This has been around for years

and it recently became viral again. People believe that they hear a sound from this skip that of course isn't really there

It's only in their own minds. We don't exactly know what's going on, but it could be due to

cross-modal

correspondences That's when different modes different methods of receiving information about the world sort of

interact. For instance if you ask people to describe a

Lemon and a potato as either fast or slow people will tend to say that lemons are fast and potatoes are slow

But of course they don't have natural speeds

It's just that we associate bright colors and stringent acidity with speed and potatoes

They're kind of bland beigeness with

Slowness. That's a cross modal correspondence. This gif has such a wonderful

Vibration that our brains feel like there must be some noise there even though that mode of receiving information

Sound isn't really there

We just link the two so closely through experience that we hear something

But now let's look at some aquatic macroinvertebrates

Now an invertebrate has no backbone, an aquatic one lives in the water and macro means large enough to see without a

Microscope. You can get really up-close with these lovely beauties and learn all about them

Have fun

But if you want more of life than just aquatic macroinvertebrates

Try one zoom. You can zoom through billions of years of history with one zoom tree of life.

Start at well the beginning and go all the way to

animals and even to humans. Once you reach the end of a branch or find a leaf that looks interesting click on it to go

to that creatures Wikipedia page

We are clearly a planet rich in diversity

But you may need a few more branches to fill up your piggy bank

Because the rich is a bit of a pun. In break the bank

the pigs take control, fight against the invading piggy banks to save your bank from crippling debt. To activate click on the pink one and

use the green squares to move them. Select any Red Square to hit your opponent and earn money

But if you get hit you'll go into debt, and once you're a hundred grand in debt

You lose

Spend money on stronger hammers and more durable piggies if you're wondering where wild pigs live well this map will tell you and the next

natural thing to wonder is what YouTube videos are geotagged to those same areas so use YouTube geo finder

Just move the green point anywhere on the map adjust these factors to your liking and click search. A list of YouTube videos will appear

It's a great way to fulfill your YouTube watching needs without having a video in mind already

once you're done scanning the globe for videos scan and

Sequence. This website uses your webcam to play well pretty unpleasant

music. When it sees you start moving your fingers to play the strings. It may not sound perfect

But you can definitely tell that it is responding to your specific movements check this out

Okay, that's not good. Let me try again

Still bad, but at least I'm making progress

This page is covered in progress bars showing how long it will be before the next minute, hour, year, Saint

Patrick's Day Halloween end of the page oh

Or the end of the universe or at least the end of useful energy being around.

That progress bar by the way is the slowest filling progress bar

Anyone could ever witness.

So sit back relax and watch it fill up, but don't hold your breath

That said you can live the entire rest of your life without breathing and as always

Thanks for watching
