Hey everyone, I’ve got a fast one for you this week. One video’s really fascinating, one is super funny and the last one is as interesting as it is important in today’s modern world.
First we have an experiment that was bound to result in something cool. You know how you watch car wheels on TV and they can look like they’re going backwards sometimes? That’s because of the phasing difference between when the camera takes a shot and when the spokes of the wheel turn. Electricians have to be careful in manufacturing facilities that they don’t have lights on the same phase as moving parts or a flywheel can look like it’s sitting still when really it’s spinning dangerously. Likewise, a guitar’s strings will vibrate when played. We all know that’s a wave. We learn that in school. But thanks to the phasing of a camera, you can actually see that wave, and you can appreciate that what your boring physics teacher was showing you was actually true. 🙂

 Okay, now for the funny. The longer you watch this video the funnier it gets. The less positive around me refer to Edmonton’s weather as being nine months of winter and three months of bad tobogganing, but in truth it was 15° Celsius (59° Fahrenheit) today and it’s mid March. Our average winter temperature is only -11°C (12°F) and we’ll range from 24-35°C degrees (75-95°F) through the summer. And because of our latitude, the sun will rise a little after 4am in the summer but it won’t set until nearly 10pm! Those make for super long beautiful days and I love them. What I don’t love is when winter gives me snow on top of ice. This poor dude is just trying to shovel the walks and I think anyone who’s lived where it’s cold can relate. We’ve all had this happen. Just not this many times in a row. This is truly unbelievable and I think this guy deserves a role in Cirque du Soleil. I’d watch it more than once. It really does get funnier.

This video will make you angry. This is an excellent presentation of how thoughts can affect reality in a broad and powerful way. So without further ado, I will ask that you please get infected, share this blog, and ask your friends to watch—at the very least—this third video. Because this is how the modern world affects you and no one is immune. So for the sake of your own resiliency, take control of your emotions and use the awareness to better your own life and ensure that others do not take control over it. Enjoy.

So you’ve had a laugh, you’ve been mesmerized by science and art, and you finished off with a big increase in your awareness. That seems like enough to launch you into a beautiful weekend! Just watch out for any ice under the snow. That stuff’s slippery. 😉
