What is the best YouTube movie you found lately?

Graphite and its awesome properties (may not be appropriate for work):

Puppy Halloween:

Sorry, I have a soft spot for puppies in general, and Border Collie puppies in particular as there were nine in the last litter at Mom and Dad's place.

(Also, sorry for the blurriness of the picture, it was a new phone and I hadn't got the hang of the camera yet. I'll do better.)

That's likely going to be the last time I'll see that sort of thing at the folk's place (although I've heard that before, so who knows).

I found this video on a discussion of the difficulties creating stable magnetic containment for a fusion reaction for generating power, but I thought it was pretty cool in its own right:

I clicked the above link. I get a link to :NASA | X Marks the Spot: SDO Sees Reconnection

Yup.
And apparently magnetic field reconnection can be a problem with terrestrial efforts to wring power out of extremely hot plasma using strong magnetic fields too.
Or something else.
I just thought the video was cool (especially in full screen mode). Sorry.

For sure, magnetic fields are an interesting subject.

I've always visualized magnetic fields as micro vortices/tornadoes/cyclones/hurricanes.
The physics weigh in favour of a single magnetic line of force being a vortex, which has two angular forces one inside the other, as the two forces twist around each other like coiled snakes. There is a totally empty/null void inside the absolute center of all vortices, regardless of it's diameter in size.

In all there are 4 forces at work inside a vortex. Two pairs of opposite forces working at right angles to each other. There is one pair of drawing/attract forces working opposite in the vertical plane, together with the another pair of repulsion forces working opposite on the horizontal plane. All forces violently whirling around the absolute center origin with a force of zero,null, quite as a church mouse.

A vortex has some truly interesting natural phenomenon.

Knowing the above why, haven't scientists copied nature and developed a space craft with a magnetic/plasma vortex field around it ? The occupants inside such a craft would feel no gravity or outside inertia, the center void of the vortex field will keep them totally safe.
Tuning the vortex field diameter size would allow for one half of the vortex field to create a down force and therefor mimic gravity while in space.

You know, since as far as I know a good deal of the radiation in outer space is charged particles, I used to wonder why the hull of a spacecraft couldn't be biased to repel them. I suppose the particles move far too fast and the charges vary enough that that wouldn't work though.
I like your take better.

While the video quality isn't top notch, I thought this was neat as it isn't a sequel, prequel or reboot to the best of my knowledge.
So enjoy some science fiction:

Be aware there is some violence and rudeness, so this may not be appropriate in some locations.

The movie is very low budget low production reality. Sci-fi Dr Who fans would like it.
They should hire some one from the physics department to be involved in the next sequel.

The movie held your attention, and the ending left you hanging.

2 out of 5 stars.

Can I get my money back....
