Step one: make sure it's below -30 degrees ambient temperature outside (none of this windchill silliness)
Step two: boil water
Step three: fling it in the air, and trust it'll sublimate/freeze like it's supposed to, and not just rain back down and scald your face off

Last night we went to a Swissnex event in San Francisco at a pier along Embarcadero. A guy showed some science experiments. He poked a hole into an incandescent light bulb, lowered it into a cup with liquid nitrogen, then pulled it out and turned on the light switch. The light kept burning because the nitrogen trapped in the light bulb protected the tungsten wire filament from burning up with oxygen from the air.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves.

RHK practices for his second grade science experiment, which attempts to answer the age-old question: how much weight can four half-eggshells support?
Our results: 50.6 lbs.
Don't know if he thought his Jedi robe would improve the outcome...

This tree stump looks like a science experiment that's gone horribly wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a tree stump covered with so many different kinds of lichens, and mushrooms.
On a scale of 1 to 10 for the Eww factor this might qualify as a 20!

A "tongue in cheek" close-up Photomicrography view of a marble, where I illustrate that when you look at a spherical object close enough, it seems to be flat. If one subscribes to "Flat Earth Theory", it would mean that this photo proves that the Marble is flat!

A lifetime of careful observation of the known Universe, and the basic laws of Physics disproves all claims that the Earth is flat. This simple experiment is aimed at getting people to think for themselves and draw their own conclusions, by observing the world around them.

Why is the marble on a turtle's back?
A short excerpt from: "A Brief History of Time" - “A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: “What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.” The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, “What is the tortoise standing on?” “You’re very clever, young man, very clever,” said the old lady. “But it’s turtles all the way down!” ― Stephen Hawking.
Earth's Line of Sight Curvature Calculations:
The Earth has a radius of approximately 3965 miles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, that calculates to an average curvature of 7.98 inches per mile or approximately 8 inches per mile (squared).

Using a blue Chibi Dork Monster as a seed image would turn any Albino blue . But the 'Albino' prompt did a great transformation with the rather cartoonish Dork.
DUPLICATE (with image) 50% prompt and 100% noise did the trick!
The leading Albino prompt comes from my good artist friend Paulo Cunha. As secondary prompts I constructed one tapeworm of a prompt from bits and pieces of other prompts I used in the past (with an assist from Timothy Leary).
Tell Alice we are not on Sesame Street anymore!

Applying different models, prompt weights and noise to a image from our perceived reality, using AI, moves it into alternate dimensions that are subjected to quantum physics. And a new philosophy emerged called quantum physics, which suggest that the individual’s function is to inform and be informed.

After its successful parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, at 11:29 p.m. EST on July 9, 2021, the cargo Dragon spacecraft was loaded aboard SpaceX’s Go Navigator recovery ship. The SpaceX cargo Dragon returned more than 5,300 pounds of scientific experiments and other cargo from the International Space Station on SpaceX’s 22nd commercial resupply services mission. Splashing down off the coast of Florida enables quick transportation of the science aboard the capsule to NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Space Station Processing Facility, delivering some science back into the hands of the researchers as soon as four to nine hours after splashdown. This shorter transportation timeframe allows researchers to collect data with minimal loss of microgravity effects. Photo credit: SpaceX

Now c'mon, can you tell me this is not cute? ;-)
There's too much grain and the focus isn't what I wanted (shooting in too dark a room) but I'm actually really liked how cute and funny he was being today.

This massive 884-page book contains a large collection of scientific amusements, including natural history; physics (including automata); gases; water; heat; light (including optical illusions, the thaumatrope, phenokistoscope, zoetrope, and the praxinoscope, ghost illusions, the stereoscope, telescope and microscope, photography, dissolving views, spectroscopy); acoustics; electricity (with electrical machines); galvanism; magnetism; applied electricity (including the telephone and phonograph); aeronautics; chemistry; mineralogy; new forms of transport; angles and the measurement of angles; astronomy and the solar system; geography and geology; meteorology; botany; zoology; games (including the magic top and the gyroscope), illustrated with over 900 engravings of equipment and diagrams.
The thaumatrope was a popular 19th century toy. A disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. In this example, the cage is on one side and the bird is on the other. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to blend into one due to the persistence of vision. Here is a 21st century example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD0ovANHdqQ
In the dedication to his son Johnnie, the author writes:
“Among the experiments contained in this book, many are simple pastimes meant for the recreation of young and old, assembled round the family table.
“Others, on the contrary, being of a really scientific character, are designed to introduce the reader to the study of Physics, that marvelous science to which we owe the discovery of the steam-engine, the telephone, the phonograph, and many other wonders – a science which, there can be little doubt, holds in reserve many other miracles for man.
“The whole of these experiments, whether simple or complex, may be performed without any special apparatus whatever, consequently without the least expense. Our improvised laboratory is composed, as you will perceive, of such articles as kitchen utensils, corks, matches, glasses, knives, forks, and plates – in fact, such things as every house, the humblest in the land, possesses.
“In dedicating this book to you, I trust it may prove a pleasant souvenir, in the days to come, of the happy moments we passed together in working these simple wonders, and in constructing the homely apparatus used in our Magical Experiments.” – Arthur Good (Tom Tit), Paris, 1st of January, 1890
The book contains 150 Magical Experiments.

Bobby couldn't believe he got Susie for a science lab partner. Now he could really impress her, and she'd have to talk to him...at least about their experiments. Halfway through their first project she smiled at him, which completely distracted him, which is why he got too close to the open flame, which is why there was a huge explosion. No doubt about it, Bobby had made an impression.

Chemcraft was a significant player in the world of children's chemistry sets, particularly in the early-to-mid 20th century. The Porter Chemical Company, which produced Chemcraft sets, was one of the leading manufacturers of educational chemistry kits. These kits were designed to inspire young scientists and were widely available in stores like Woolworth’s.
Chemistry sets, including Chemcraft, gained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, but their peak came in the 1950s. They were marketed as educational toys that could introduce children to the wonders of chemistry, often containing a variety of real chemicals, labware, and instructional guides. Chemcraft was among the brands that helped establish chemistry sets as a staple of childhood learning.
Early chemistry sets, including those from Chemcraft, often contained substances that would be considered hazardous today. Some even included radioactive materials, cyanide, and strong acids. Concerns over toxicity and safety led to stricter regulations. Hazardous chemicals were removed, making sets safer but less exciting. Chemistry sets became more about learning than experimentation.
Today’s kits focus on safe, fun, and educational experiments, using household ingredients instead of dangerous chemicals. Digital and interactive chemistry kits have emerged, blending technology with hands-on learning. Chemistry sets have come a long way – from dangerous experiments to safe, engaging learning tools.

A float is attached to a shaft which has a small screw propeller at the rear. The propeller is worked by the hands and by a crank moved by the feet. The swimmer rests upon the float which keeps his head above water while the propeller forces him through the water.

I had seen this done on Pinterest and had to try it myself with all of the cold weather we have been having. All you have to do is add some food color to water ballons, then hang them outside so they can freeze. The colors come out beautiful.

This is a series of images from Jackie's science experiment. She whipped up a batch of Non-Newtonian Liquid (the recipe for this can be found here: Outrageous Ooze). And it wasn't even a school assignment! She loves science and is a Discovery Channel Junkie!
This stuff is so cool! The mixture turns into a solid when pressure is exerted on it (Jackie is punching it as hard as she can in the image above) and turns into a liquid when little or no pressure is exerted on it (as you can see, it just runs through her fingers)! So bizarre! I love that Jackie gets into this stuff. We had a lot of fun with this!
If you want to see more, there is a very entertaining segment on the Discovery Channel:

this is the third attempt at getting a litter of hairless babies - and im pulling out all stops to provide a suitable and acceptable environment, hence the 1970's retro space ship shaped home (which is actually a 70's ceramic light fitting i found at a garage sale)
I am providing a wide variety of foodstuffs, including twisties - for added 'vitamin T'
I have also put the two pregnant ones in with a normal mouse, and she had her babies yesterday. If the hairless ones give birth to viable babies, the normal mouse should act as a surrogate. These things are notoriously bad mothers.
The last two litters were born on the new moon, and the moon is at 100% right now - so lets hope i get it right this time! WONT SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!
Day 109: So couple of days ago my brothers decide to come back home with three mice in fish bowl. Apparently, they're part of a science experiment... They're something to do with generating a battery I think... But that's my brothers for ya.
You literally cannot get this guy to stop for two seconds- he's crazy! You think the focus isn't good on this? It's actually quite amazing for a SP with a mouse in hand.
By harnessing alternating current (AC), Nikola Tesla almost single-handedly brought about a revolution in the use of electricity for man's needs, from powering home appliances to running factories and turning on the city lights. Thomas Edison proposed using direct current (DC). DC was inefficient in generating electrical power and sustaining it over long distances. DC was a dead-end. Tesla and his AC succeeded in electrifying the nation.
Tesla hoped to take the process a step further as a result of experiments he conducted in a laboratory in Colorado Springs. His goal was "wireless power transmission." To that end, he built a huge model of what the world knows as the “Tesla coil,” a radio frequency transformer of unheard-of dimensions and power. It produced 12 million volts and formed 100-foot-long lightning bolts that allegedly created thunder and sparks 15 miles away. When first energized, it blew out the generators at a local power company and caused a blackout.
Insert a needle in a cork, so that the point be just apparent, and, if the needle project at the other end, snap off the remainder of it with a pair of shears. Now place your nickel on a couple of wooden blocks, as in the illustration, and strike a sharp blow with a heavy hammer on the prepared cork that you have placed above it.

“Watch Mr. Wizard” was an American television program (1951–1965) for children that demonstrated the science behind ordinary things. The show's creator and on-air host was Don Herbert. It enjoyed consistent praise, awards, and high ratings throughout its history. At its peak, “Watch Mr. Wizard” drew audiences in the millions, but its impact was far wider. By 1956, it had prompted the establishment of more than five thousand Mr. Wizard science clubs, with an estimated membership greater than one hundred thousand. It was briefly revived in 1971, and then in the 1980s was a program on the Nickelodeon children’s television network as “Mr. Wizard’s World.” [Source: Wikipedia]
