Science is cool. If you don't think so, it's because you're dumb and don't understand science. In this thread we share all of the awesome things we can do...with SCIENCE!
Sulphur Hexafluoride is a gas six times more dense than air. This means that it will sink when released in air. So what happens when you fill a tank full of sulphur hexafluoride? In this video, we see a boat made of tin foil floating in an invisible lake:

This video was so cool to me that I made a thread to show it off. But I want to see more awesome scientific discoveries. WE ARE MEN OF SCIENCE, SO LET'S DO SOME SCIENTIFIC SHIT.
EDIT: To explain a bit further, sound travels through Sulphur Hexafluoride slower, so it makes your voice sound really low. Just like helium, except helium is less dense than air, and sound travels through it faster.

In fact, I cant wait for Horizon to return. For those who don't know, it is a BBC documentary series on anything and everything. Exceptional design, not dumbing down anything. Really essential TV for nerds.
There are some better examples of the show which is about an hour long. I highly recommend people to watch them and actively search for more. It covers every subject and is so great.
edit: tossrock I hate you so much
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
I AM FUCKING OUT OF HERE
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Edit: floating boat one.
Inertia is a property of matter
deep down I know it is only jealousy

Because the new Mythbusters was tonight and it was pretty cool

oh fuck I missed it
I think it reruns in fifteen minutes, though
I have a question about this one: does thermite burn so fast and so hot that they don't need to worry about the grass catching fire?
relevant in multiple ways

Your image doesn't work.
Nuclear bombs scare me, and the idea of using them/seeing the results of them being used is even scarier, but I have to admit that watching one explode is incredible.
and science warned us not to set off any cobalt bombs in the atmosphere

Odd it works fine for me. What're you seeing?
Nothing. Link gives a 403.
