Today, there are more than 1 million elevators just in the US, carrying people higher and lower every day. All these elevators travel about 1 and 1/2 billion miles per year and move around 18 billion passengers. You might think that you know everything about this vertical kind of transport. But, let's say, have you ever wondered why elevator doors have small holes in them? Imagine getting stuck in an elevator at the most inappropriate moment of your life. An elevator arrives at your floor, but the doors wouldn't open. Something must have gone wrong with the equipment, or there has been a power failure. In this case, getting out won't be an easy feat! That's why all you can do is to wait for an elevator mechanic. Finally, they turn up, but what next? TIMESTAMPS:

More Why a Tiny Hole in the Elevator Doors Can Save Your Life Videos

What will happen if you get stuck in a subway door? It happened to me yesterday when I was once again being late for work. As always, I rushed down the stairs and burst into the subway station next to my home. The train was about to leave, and, as if in slow-mo, I saw its doors closing! I made a wild dash, expecting the doors to open up as I was squeezing through… Well, to cut a long story short, it didn't happen, and I got stuck. The doors just wouldn't open as they used to do before! Luckily, some kind fellow passengers rescued me from the door trap, and I arrived at work in time! But as soon as I finished all the urgent work, I made a coffee break and sat at my computer to google why my morning accident happened in the first place. TIMESTAMPS:

More 22 Mistakes Keeping You From Losing Weight Videos

Why are your fingers different lengths? And what would happen if all five fingers were of equal length? I was browsing the web the other day and took a personality test – something like “what your finger length reveals about you”. When I found out I can’t be a genius because of the way my fingers are, it made me wonder: why do your fingers have to be of different length anyway? It looks like evolutionary history still doesn’t have a 100% clear answer to this question. They recently found a skeleton of a guy with a lump at the base of his hand from 1.5 million years ago. It means humans possibly had hands just like we do now back then. Until then, millions of years before, their fingers were long and curved, their palms were extra broad, and their thumbs were small and weak. So, what made humans evolve and go from uniformly shaped fingers to what we have today? TIMESTAMPS:

If there was a swimming pool on the Moon, could a person swim in it? Think about it! We’ve sent satellites beyond our solar system. We’ve walked on the moon, and we’ll soon do the same on Mars.
