Science has allowed for the rapid advancement of technology. We can carry thousands of books in a device as thin as an empty folder. Our screens allow us to see through the eyes of people on the other side of the world. Technology has made conveying information a lot easier, so here are 7 GIFS that allow you to see the true nature of science.

1. Emerging From Pupa


When an insect enters the pupa stage, it essentially goes through a second birth. The original larval structure completely reorganize into the mature adult stage.

2. Ferrofluid

Ferrofluid is a liquid with suspended particles that allow it to interact with magnets. The spikes show where the magnetic field lines are.

3. Shield Volcano Eruption

Shield volcanos are not as exciting or destructive as the traditional conical volcanoes, but some places such as Hawaii allow tourists to get up close because of how controlled shield volcanic eruptions are.

4. Elephant Toothpaste

This reaction is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. This is normally a slow reaction, but the presence of iodine speeds it up to cause the foam explosion.

5. Electron Microscope Zooming In

The final object at the end of the GIF is a single bacterium cell.

6. Tornado Over Water


When a tornado passes over water, it becomes a waterspout. If you ever hear about raining fish, this is why.

7. The Largest Nuclear Explosion in History

The Tsar Bomba is the largest nuclear weapon to have ever been detonated in human history. Every structure in a 34 mile radius was decimated in this test explosion. All of the energy from this explosion was unlocked from the nuclei of the smallest atoms, hydrogen.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
