This is How FIREWORKS Work!
Have you wondered how fireworks work? This video explores the history of fireworks and explains how several types of fireworks work, like aerial or skyrocket fireworks, how fountain fireworks work, and how pop-its work. Fireworks have long been used to celebrate events like New Years and the 4th of July here in the U.S.

    Ok? What kind of bs is this.. Even if this was true, it doesn't explain how it would still be north when we're 180 days into the year and we'd be on the "other side of the sun, billions of miles away from the current position", the earth is stationary, this video is weak. Funny how he didn't explain the rotation of the earth around the sun in his fantasy model world

    • @Combaticon
      @Combaticon 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That part is easy to explain. We have a thing called parallax, where the supposed position of objects closer to us changes compared to objects further away from us. An example of this would be looking at the World Trade Center from the top of the Empire State Building with just one eye and with your arm stretched out and your thumb pointing up parallel with One WTC. Then look at them again with just the other eye, your thumb would appear to jump while One WTC doesn't appear to move at all (even though both your thumb and the tower haven't moved at all). The diameter of Earth's orbit around the sun is only about 187 million miles and only gives us a maximum range of 100 parsecs (326 light-years - 1 light-year is about 5.88 trillion miles). In the case of the North Star/Polaris, it's so far away (like the One WTC example) that even through our telescopes it doesn't appear to shift position. That's why the North Star/Polaris can stay relatively in the same place despite the fact we are constantly going around the sun; it's just so far away.

    Great video. Polaris is pretty close to exactly North, but not exactly. It's not even the northernmost star. Its the northernmost bright star. Star trails with wide angle lenses, show it not moving. But telephoto lenses show a small circle, and telescopes show a large circle with many other dim stars inside that circle. If you want see or take a cool star trails photo (and bother the flat Earthers) go close to the equator. The star trails make two circles, or at lease opposite curves. You can't see the full circles. A video about that would be pretty cool..

This makes it easy for the clock to measure a single frequency to keep time instead of getting confused with other frequencies from other valence electrons that would share the same space.

    I love watching videos on beginner methods because there's so much variety, for high level stuff it's really just CFOP and roux and things don't really change but beginner methods are ALWAYS different. I like this one, the second layer stuff seems like it's sort of derived from F2L concepts distilled down to one sequence and then I think learning one algorithm for the last step is probably less frustrating for most people than that wacky thing you usually see where you go corner by corner with the whole cube looking ruined throughout and if you sequence break anything in between the four it'll just quietly stay broken.

    Yes true , true true, but what about the stars that are straight up then? Shouldnt they move in a different direction? Since we rotate our earths axis, stars should rotate verticly not horizontaly. And why does the moon apear to be black and white at night and blue white at day? I'm just a stupid painter, but i can tell, i see true the moon.

    • @TexMex421
      @TexMex421 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      What the stars straight overhead do depends on where you are on the Earth. If you are in North America, they should move East to West, just like the sun. The moon is gray, at night it appears white because the night sky is so dark next to it. In the day, the sky is blue, but you still see through it. So you see the moon with blue tint. Look at it with red tinted sunglasses and it will appear red. Same effect. If you could see through the moon, you could see stars, but you can't. And I mean real stars not dust on the lens of someone with a P900. Real stars are 100% named and charted.
