When you hear “airplane” you think of a “big, white, a rounded nose, relatively small tires, two oddly angled wings with their tips curling up, normally late taking off. Oh, and you always get on board through the left side!” But have you ever wondered why is it always the left side? And, why are do the wings have curved tips? Or, why is the entire wing tilted upward instead of being perfectly parallel with the ground? Most airliners have nicely rounded noses, but there are jets with pointy ones – so what decides it? Let’s see! Other videos you might like:

Commercial aircraft usually have their wings angled backward 0:30

Why is the entire wing tilted upward instead of being perfectly parallel with the ground? 1:38
Why is lift so important? 2:13
Why is landing gear a bit tilted? 2:57

Why are airplane tires super inflated? 3:49
What are flashing lights on airplane's wings for? 4:08
Why do most planes have rounded noses, but there are jets with pointy ones? 4:35
Why do passengers board on the left? 5:41
Why don't airlines save time by letting people in through all the entrances at once? 6:39
Why can’t you always board a plane through a jet bridge? 7:54 #whyplanes #flightsecrets #brightside SUMMARY:
-Wings angled backward help planes be as fast as they are. -Wingtip vortices lead to slower speeds, more fuel consumption, higher CO2 emission, and safety issues.
-Upward angle is crucial for the airplane's stability. That stability is at risk when a jet comes across some obstacle, like a bump from turbulence, that can make it roll to either side.
-If you tilt the wing too much, the lift will get weaker or disappear altogether! Then the plane will stall in the air and eventually fall. If the wings are tilted down, the lift decreases.
-The tilt serves several purposes: to soften the landing and absorb the touchdown shock, to level the plane and prevent it from pitching forward, and to let the gear fit properly in the gear well. -If you made airplane wheels bigger, it would add extra load, and aircraft would waste more fuel carrying them.
-Thanks to huge pressure inside them (as well as the material they're made of), airplane tires don't burst under the immense weight of a landing aircraft. -The lighting scheme helps pilots figure out the direction of oncoming planes in the dark and avoid a collision. The green and red lights on commercial aircraft must be on from sunset to sunrise. – The faster a plane is, the sharper its nose will be since they need to cut through the air without meeting too much resistance. That's why almost all supersonic aircraft have pointy noses. -The right side is used for fueling the plane and loading and unloading baggage and cargo. If passengers were also entering aircraft from the right side, it would mess up the whole process and probably lead to accidents.
-Some airlines do use both for boarding and deplaning. But if people board an aircraft through a jetway, using both doors won't work. Jetways only reach the front left entrance.
-Some airports are just too busy and don't have enough gates. It's either using buses and mobile stairs or waiting for hours for an available gate. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Pay Phones and 11 Other Old Tech Still Exist
You’re walking down the street when you suddenly remember you need to call your bank. Oh no, your phone battery’s at 1%! You look around and here it is: a pay phone booth! And even better, there’s a phone book inside with the number you need. If you were born in the 2000s, you probably haven’t even heard of a fax machine. Photo labs have gone, but not completely – and they still offer their services to those interested. Come to think of it, though, how many other seemingly obsolete things are still out there? And why?

Pay phones 5:11
Pagers 5:46
Copper pennies 6:34
Vinyl records 7:01
Landlines 7:29 #oldtechnology #obsoletethings #brightside SUMMARY:
-To use a fax machine, you need a printed copy of your document and the recipient has to own another such machine too. Bulky and pretty unreliable, fax machines became a thing of the past in the late 90s.
-Back in the second half of the 20th century, developing films with your vacation photos was all the rage. You had only 24 or 36 photos you could take before your film ended, so you took them carefully and then went to a photo lab to see what you had.
-You can still see paper encyclopedias on the shelves of bookstores — and many people, surprisingly, still use them.
-A bookshop has become not just a joint where you can buy a new novel by your favorite author, but a place to sit back, have a cup of tea or coffee, and relax in a comfortable chair, reading right there.
-Surprisingly, though they’re gone from households, there are still VHS tapes that are incredibly rare and valuable even today. For example, there’s a Star Wars sealed box tape for sale on eBay that costs $3,500.
-Today, with Instagram and digital pictures all around, a photo album seems obsolete, but almost any photographer you ask will offer you to make a photo album of your own.
-Unlike smartphones and tablets, these simple devices are very hard to track, so if you’re worried about being watched, an old cell phone is a really good choice.
-In some distant areas of the world, you’d be stranded without any connection if not for pay phones that are still installed in many countries.
-Pagers were extremely popular at some point in the 90s, but for obvious reasons they soon became outdated and replaced by more versatile mobile phones. However, paramedics and emergency care workers still use them.
-By and large, pennies are next to worthless, but they’re still being widely circulated. The cost of producing a penny is more than it’s actually worth: 1.7 cents for a 1 penny coin.
-Warm quality of sound they give and the feeling of authenticity when listening to the great bands of the 20th century makes lots of audiophiles around the world collect vinyl records and keep them as the treasure they certainly are.
-Many businesses still cling to landlines, and in some countries banks won’t even give you a loan if you don’t own a landline. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why the Earth’s Core Is Hotter Than the Sun
We’ve managed to go hundreds of thousands of miles into space, but when it comes to the earth, we’ve barely scratched the surface. Our planet’s core is a magnificent mystery filled with secrets. It’s time to figure them out. The Earth’s inner core is an extra hot solid ball that has a radius just 30% smaller than the Moon. Scientists figured out that most of the Earth’s mass is located towards the center of our planet. The temperature of the inner core is about 9800°F. While the melting point of pure iron is about 2,800°F, at the core, its melting point is around 11,000° F. Other videos you might like:

The earth core is super heavy 0:20
How did iron get in there? 1:16
How do we know what size the core is? 2:27
How hot is it and why? 4:32
How does it remain solid? 5:28
Why is the earth still boiling? 5:50
A 2015 study from Durham University 6:53 #earthcore #earthfacts #brightside SUMMARY:
-It’s estimated that the Earth’s mass is 5.6 sextillion tons. More than 80% of the core consists of one of the ten most common elements in our galaxy: iron.
-In 2013, Wendy Mao and her team from Stanford discovered a possible solution for how this happened. During their experiment, molten iron slowly squeezed through the silicate rocks, and they had their answer. It took millions of years for the iron to reach the center, so it happened at a snail’s pace.
-During an earthquake, shockwaves are spread through the planet. Seismologists study these vibrations and try to read the reflections on the other side. As science progressed, it turned out that picky “S-WAVES” could only go through solid material, and not liquid. So something molten was present in the center of the Earth that was preventing the vibrations from going through.
-The temperature of the inner core is about 9800°F. While the melting point of pure iron is about 2,800°F, at the core, its melting point is around 11,000° F. The fluctuation in those temperatures comes from factoring in the extreme pressure the iron is exposed to at the core. -The reason it remains solid is because of the slow cooling of the outer core and its compression. The inner core spins faster than the Earth. That’s caused by the thermal activity inside our planet which creates the magnetosphere.
-The first reason the Earth is still boiling is that the core has remained hot from the time our planet was formed – roughly 4.5 billion years ago. Secondly, it generates heat from the friction of the dense materials as they move. And the last reason it’s so hot is from the decay of radioactive elements.
-A 2015 study from Durham University claimed that 90% of the Earth’s sulfur is in the core. When the impact happened, the Earth’s mantle melted, and some sulfur-rich liquid squeezed through the ruins and reformed it. Some of it was probably lost in space, but the rest sunk to the core.

Why Smartphones Are Always Rectangular
I bet you’re so used to a smartphone in your hand that you’ve never even asked yourself a question: why in the world is it rectangular? Why not square or round, for example? Or why, for that matter, you can’t use it when in gloves? Why is it not recommended to use your smartphone while it’s charging? Can that blue light from screens of smartphones and computers mess with your sleep? Well, let’s find out, shall we?! Other videos you might like:

Why does restarting take for ages? 7:14
Why have may modern smartphones had their headphone jacks removed? 7:42
Why does your smartphone flash several times before making the actual shot in the dark? 8:12 #phonefacts #phonesecrets #brightside SUMMARY:
-LCD screens sacrifice visibility for better color reproduction. -While charging, your phone heats up, so using it might shorten its life. In laptops, the battery is well isolated from the rest of the parts, and the heat goes around it.
-Electric cars have large batteries with separate cooling systems that don’t allow them to overheat while charging. Smartphones will need equally good cooling not to melt down if charged too fast.
-Charging involves chemical reactions. They need a certain range of temperatures for optimal work, so if it’s too cold or too hot, your phone will charge more slowly.
-In modern gadgets there’s an option called “eye-saver mode” or “eye comfort.” It cuts off part of the blue light, making the screen yellowish, but letting your eyes and brain rest.
-Even when there are other color options, black is almost always one of them. The reason boils down to black being a universal color that fits any surroundings.
-Smartphone is mostly expensive than tablet PC because the phone has a radio chip and the tablet does not. Radio chip is probably the most complex part of a smartphone
-The screen reacts to conductive materials, and only if they’re a little squishy — they can activate several sensors at once this way. Gloves don’t conduct electricity, so you either need to use your bare fingers or buy yourself a pair of gloves with special fingertips.
-Rebooting your device helps clear all the unneeded residue and optimize its work.
-Rectangle is the most convenient shape for a screen. It has an orientation, so you can flip your phone all you want and it will adapt. Next, it fits into your pocket nice and cozy: the pocket is deeper than it is wide, so a phone longer than it is broad will sit there perfectly.
-Your smartphone camera is just not light-sensitive enough to capture the Moon in its full glory.
-A higher quality camera requires more space inside the phone, and manufacturers choose to install a smaller and cheaper camera in the front of their devices to save that space.
-When you switch off your device, it dumps everything from its short-term memory. So it takes time for the device to wake up and start functioning at its normal speed.
-First, without a 3.5 mm jack at the top or bottom of the phone, you can make the device itself much thinner. And second, water resistance is trending today, and a headphone jack is a gaping hole in the body of a smartphone.
-With smartphones, the first short flash makes the pupils contract from bright light, and only then the device takes a shot so that you don’t resemble a horror movie. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Antarctica Was Tropical and Green Once
There was a time when the great southern landmass wasn’t just covered in ice-glaciers and penguins. It was filled with forests, flowers and all sorts of animal species. It even had a completely different climate. According to fossil records found below the ice-caps, the icy continent was once a very hot place. In fact, it got so warm that the climate became tropical, like the one we see today around the Equator. So, how did we end up here? Other videos you might like:

Australia and South America thrived 9:52 #greenantarctica #earthhistory #brightside SUMMARY:
-According to fossil records found below the ice-caps, the icy continent was once a very hot place. In fact, it got so warm that the climate became tropical, like the one we see today around the Equator. -About ½ mile below the seabed at Wilkes Land in Eastern Antarctica, scientists found fossils containing pollen from plants that only flourish in the tropical environments we see today.
-Around 100 million years back, the earth went through a massive long-lasting heatwave – scientifically known as the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum. During that time, the global average temperature increased. That resulted in changes to vegetation. -On Seymour Island, which is around the tip of the Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, scientists discovered brood balls, a unique structure that dung beetles lay their eggs in.
-Notiolofos fed on tiny tree branches and saplings. Scientists discovered their diet by analyzing the animal’s teeth, which were relatively small in size. -Antarctodon belonged to an unusual group of now-extinct mammals. It lived in what we know now as Seymour Island. -Approximately 56 million years ago, South America began separating itself. 16 million years later, Australia and Antarctica began drifting apart in the sea. Between 36 to 23 million years back, another natural channel emerged – the Drake Passage.
-Towards the end of the Eocene and the beginning of Oligocene Period, global cooling started taking place. The temperatures dropped at high latitudes in both the Arctic Circle and Antarctica. -New DNA evidence shows that the oldest marsupial lived in South America 70 – 80 million years ago. It’s believed that they migrated from South America all the way to Antarctica and crossed over to Australia while they were still connected.

What If You Knew Absolutely Everything in the World
I’ll bet that you’ve heard about this theory that we only use 10% of our brain’s potential and if we could do more than that, we’d have superpowers, teleport and maybe time-travel. This is a century-old myth that got everyone hooked on the idea that if we had more knowledge, we could surpass Einstein. Neurologists have now disproven it, saying that on any given day, we’re able to use 100% of our brain. So, what would happen if we gained infinite knowledge? Let’s find out!

-The 10% myth was a misinterpretation of neurological research in the late 19th century. Neurologists have now disproven it, saying that on any given day, we’re able to use 100% of our brain.
-You’d know everything about every purchase you’ve made and everything in the world including small details and origins of things surrounding you. You’d also know everything about the life of other people. -Your brain is responsible for your sleep, your dreams, your appetite, and every move you make. Our knowledge capacity is colossal. If we had unlimited information, we could find a way to live forever. Or we could descend into chaos.
-One scenario is that you’ll regret it instantly. Another possibility is that you’ll feel superior to everyone else. The third possible outcome is that you’ll lose your humanity.
-Our feelings are based on the unknown. So if you know everything, it’d be impossible to experience them. You’d become an emotionless robot. -Your mind will select the data that’s important and delete the rest. That means you won’t know everything after all.
-Think of how your computer freezes when you import all the data at once. The same thing would happen to your mind.
-As the knowledge begins to make its way through your brain, the infinite electrons will create a gravitational pull and start to suck in everything around you. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The Right Way to Catch a Snake in Your House
So get this: You’re doing some chores (or lazing around!), and you hear that unmistakable hissss. Uh Oh. “Is that a snake—in my HOUSE?” A snake may be looking for a cool damp spot to chill down—like a basement—or shelter from the rain so that it won’t destroy its nest. Remember the golden rule when it comes to wild animals: it’s more scared of you than you are of it. Guide the snake outside with a broom. If the “broom method” didn’t work, restrict its ability to move. Make sure any cracks, gaps, or holes around your home are sealed to prevent any future visits. Other videos you might like:

Step 7. Call Animal Control 6:19
Step 8. Try a DIY snake trap! 6:49
Step 9. Prevent any future visits. 7:24 #survivaltips #snakeinthehouse #brightside SUMMARY:
-Snakes are cold-blooded reptiles, which means their environment is what controls their body temperature.
-Along with the basement, snakes may try to hide in your walls, attic, and crawl spaces.
-If you’ve got those perfect conditions, a snake will build its nest in your home, and then you’ll have a big problem on your hands!
-Snakes found in houses are usually on the smaller side because they can wiggle their way in through small cracks, openings, and any “weak spots” in your home.
-In some places, snakes are part of daily life and are as common a pest as mice or mosquitoes.
-Remember the golden rule when it comes to wild animals: it’s more scared of you than you are of it.
-Pets and children are smaller than you are, and they move more unpredictably. This may agitate the legless home invader.
– Try to get a good look at it without disturbing it, and read about poisonous snakes that can be found in your area. -Set up “barriers” as best as you can to keep it in that one room, and open the door to the outside. Gently guide the snake through a path to the exit.
-Cover the snake with a big blanket or put a laundry hamper on top of it with the open side down.
-Hold the snake as securely as you can while keeping it away from your body. Get it outside and release it far from your property.
-Animal control will have special equipment to remove the snake safely. And give them a call if the snake is hiding, but you know it’s there.
-All you need is a plastic water bottle, scissors, and snake food.
-Make sure any cracks, gaps, or holes around your home are sealed. Check your attic, basement, and crawl spaces thoroughly because they might be easy to miss in these areas. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why There Is No E in the Grading Scale
Remember that nervous feeling on report card day as a kid? You spend all day with a racing mind wondering what grades you got. Straight As? Some Bs? Will Mom and Dad be mad about Cs and Ds? Or did I get any Fs?? Hold on…why isn’t there a grade E?? Well, the short answer is that F simply stands for “failure” on the grading scale since “failure” begins with the letter F. Teachers didn’t want E to be interpreted as “excellent” beyond primary school, as percentages come in when you’re in middle school, high school, and college. Poor lonely E!

-F simply stands for “failure” on the grading scale since “failure” begins with the letter F. Teachers didn’t want E to be interpreted as “excellent” beyond primary school, as percentages come in when you’re in middle school, high school, and college.
-The first school to use a grading scale model similar to our modern one was a school in Massachusetts called Mount Holyoke College, an all-women’s university. In 1887, their scale went from A to E. -The Standard Measurement System is still taught in schools, while the rest of the world uses the Metric System.
-Only about 20% of U.S. primary, junior, and high schools require uniforms.
-The U.S. school system starts with preschool, then kindergarten at the age of 5 and lasts till 12th grade at age 17 or 18.
-American students spend about 180 days a year in school.
-The original 13 American colonies opened The Boston Latin School, America’s first public school, in 1635.
-Early American schools didn’t teach subjects like reading or science; the early colonists wanted to teach their children more about family and community values.
-If parents want their child to “get ahead,” or just to acclimate them to a social learning situation, enrolling their child in pre-school at about 3 or 4 years old is considered ideal.
-About 85% of current jobs in the U.S., and 90% of new ones, require some college or post-secondary education.
-Most experienced U.S. teachers agree that field trips can and should be an integral part of a student’s education.
-Most schools offer football (the American kind), basketball, wresting, tennis, volleyball, softball, and baseball.
-Students and teachers often joke with each other, and exchange high-fives in the hallways.
-There will be differences in grading scales, testing requirements, class structure, rules…pretty much everything state to state. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
