So, you’re lying on your couch in the evening, watching a Bright Side video on your phone, but all of a sudden the sound turns off all by itself. You tap your finger on the phone, check the volume, but everything seems to be alright. Just no sound. You click off the video and start to get up, when you suddenly realize you can’t hear your own movements. The silence is… disconcerting. You try to say something, but no words come out of your mouth. You shape them, you feel them, but you can’t hear them. Panic is rising. You look out the window and see the city — something’s clearly off. Cars stop erratically and turn on the emergency brake lights. People in the streets gesture too much and look around them in wonder and fear. You have a dawning suspicion that it’s not only about you… Other videos you might like:

Day 90. Doctors start raising alarm. 5:02

Day 360. Some traditions have changed. 7:35
Day 366. Life in the city stops again. 8:33 #sounds #silence #brightside SUMMARY:
– You check everything that makes sounds, turn up music to the max, but you only feel the vibrations through your body.
– Waking up has never been so sweet. Nothing bothered you throughout the night. – The streets are deserted, even though it’s Monday morning. You walk all alone, in utter silence, and look to the sides every second, just in case.
– You get back home and write to everyone who matters. All their replies are similar to each other: “We can’t hear a thing.”
– Life is finally coming back on track. For the last week, all services and all work just stalled — people were getting used to the mute world. – At the office, everything seems okay. Nobody’s chatting, and your productivity only wins from that. – Sign language lessons have become a new trend. Everyone you know decided to learn it because they’ve grown tired of typing messages.
– Walking around the city, you notice that people have become clumsier too. Today you’ve met at least four people who stumbled out of nowhere and fell flat on their faces.
– Roads have become much safer overall — no one wants to drive fast without hearing anything.
– But there’s more and more news appearing of people losing control of complex machinery or simply falling at the most unfortunate places. – Deafness has finally reached its peak: the medical community was right, after some time people started having troubles with their inner ear. – Number of flights has reduced drastically, and people all over the world can’t go where they planned — or even home.
– A solution has been found for the inner ear disorder: it stabilizes the balancing mechanism, making you sure-footed again.
– Meanwhile, muteness doesn’t change the society even a little bit. The order is as perfect as ever, and people have learned to communicate without voice or ears.
– Some traditions have changed, though. Eating has become a ritual of silence, not a place for an idle chat — who can hold a fork and a knife and talk with gestures at the same time?
– Police, ambulance, and rescue services are all equipped with vibro-horns.
– You wake up with a start. It’s morning, and your alarm clock is buzzing under the pillow. Wait. Buzzing? Yes, not just vibrating but actually giving off that sound. – After a year without a sound, everyone is too perplexed to get about their lives.
– Suddenly, your phone starts buzzing again. Mom’s calling. With shaky hands you tap the answer icon and hold the phone to your ear. And then you hear a cracked and uncertain, but so familiar voice, saying, “H’lo?” Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What If All Sound Disappears for a Year Videos

Do you know what you sound like? You’re not alone in thinking, “Who is that clumsy, mumbling fella?” And sorry to break it to ya, but what you hear on the recording is what people around you hear every time you speak to them. But they don’t mind, so why should you sweat about it so much? You probably do because it’s so different from how you hear yourself when you’re speaking. Yes, you hear your voice all the time, more than anyone in the world, but it comes from inside you, like, in your head! The last thing you do is hear it with your own ears. So if you thought that you have a smooth baritone or bass, that’s probably not the case, unfortunately. Your real voice is higher than you think! Other videos you might like:

Your brain never listens to it! 3:11
Why you might cringe at the sound of your voice 4:05
How to know if someone likes you 5:40 #voice #humanbody #brightside SUMMARY:
– It’s mostly the job of bones in your skull to send the vibrations of your voice to your inner ear. And they aren’t as great at that as your ears are. – Once your skull bones have bounced those voice vibrations around and sent them to your inner ear, the great deceiver – your own brain – does its part. It smooths out all the inconsistencies.
– Professional singers, voice actors, and coaches explain that when you speak, more than half your body takes its part in the formation of the resulting sound.
– Posture, the tension in your muscles, your stress levels, and even overall state of health affects how your voice will sound in the end. – There are AI systems today that can figure out someone’s exact age, mood, how well their heart works, and even the month of pregnancy using only a recording of their voice! – You hear your voice all the time, but your brain never listens to it. And it’s meant to be this way. It’s stressful to be self-aware on that level. – Our voices change drastically throughout our lives. In just a couple years, you may not recognize yourself speaking at first.
– Your voice is surprisingly elastic even without age-related changes. Did you know that you have a unique voice for every person you talk to on a regular basis?
– And here’s a trick to find out if someone likes you: listen to their pitch. It’ll be higher than usual!
– If you try to train your voice and delivery, you’ll grow more tolerant of hearing it! Why? Because it becomes more familiar. – People have a similar relationship with their appearance too. Because what they see in the mirror is not what they look like to other people or in photographs. – Just like the voice, the real beauty of every person in the world comes from the inside. And like your voice, all you need is to be a bit more attentive to yourself to see it, as other people see it.

More Why People Often Don’t Like Their Own Voices Videos

It’s 7 am, and the sound of your alarm wakes you up. You reach over to the nightstand to pick up your phone. With your eyes half-closed, you notice you don’t have any new notifications. Hmm, that’s weird. You get up, grab a quick shower, and head downstairs. After you’ve gotten some breakfast and coffee, you grab your tablet and see the same thing: no notifications. You also notice there’s no Internet connection. It wasn’t just on your phone but all your devices. Before checking your router, you try the old “turn it off and on again” technique. Of course, that didn’t help. So, you head over to the router and see a blinking red light. The 4G isn’t working either. Other videos you might like:

Weird evening 7:30 #internet #whatif #brightside SUMMARY:
– You decide to take a cab – maybe it’ll save some time. You automatically open the app on your phone. Oh yeah, it doesn’t work.
– You notice the people around you for the first time. They’re all looking at their phones in frustration, some have even struck up a conversation.
– When you finally get to your office building. You reach for your card without even thinking. But guess what! That doesn’t work either. – Right from the get-go, you’re already not that surprised to hear the talk of the day, “Internet’s down.” – You can’t send any emails or reports, and you can’t download anything.
– With the office becoming more of a circus with every passing minute, the boss decides to let everyone just take the day off.
– You can’t remember how much money you have in the bank, and there’s no way to check. – That’s when it hits you: what about all your pictures, videos, and data? You had your whole graduation video on the cloud. All those pictures of your backpacking trip across Europe? Are all the memories lost? – You take 400 bucks out of your account to keep yourself afloat. Who knows if it’ll be enough – there’s no way of knowing how long this nightmare will last! – Airports are at a standstill, along with ships, trains, and commercial trucking. Panic has broken out in major cities.
– You ask a passerby if there are any little family-owned stores in the area. They don’t have a lot, but you grab whatever you can carry in two hands and head home. – As you walk, you start thinking about how everything you do revolves around the Internet.
– Since you can’t stream anything, you decide to watch good old-fashioned TV channels filled with old movies and shows. – At about 10pm, you fall asleep to the thought that you’ll face the same chaos tomorrow, and you’re already stressed about work. – You wake up to multiple notification sounds on your phone, and as you turn over, your screen is flashing with pop-up boxes left and right. – Phones all across the city – across the globe! – are lighting up as if on command.

More What If There’s No Internet for 24 Hours Videos

If you collect everything there is in the universe, but what color would it be? It isn’t possible to answer that, but we can at least go back in time far enough to see how it looked when it all began to exist. Yes, this is apparently possible. We all know about this mysterious and fascinating moment called the Big Bang, which gave birth to all that we can see around us right now. But originally, the Universe had just one color. As it expanded and cooled down, it formed more and more tangible matter and started to morph into all the colors we’re used to seeing today. Other videos you might like:

The Dark Age 2:49
Blackbody radiation 4:17
When the Universe looked like fire 5:08
… and what happened next 5:37 #universe #bigbang #brightside SUMMARY:
– During the first seconds, the universe is expanding so fast and with such power that the temperature drops by trillions and trillions of degrees before it reaches the end of the first minute of its life. – To see something, you’ll have to wait; and not another minute, but another 380,000 years, when the universe cools down. Until then, this epoch in the history of everything is what scientists refer to as “The Dark Age”. – Finally, photons were given the green light to move wherever they want and that means that we can see something here. And that something is a colossal blob of blindingly bright light.
– This is how the whole universe looked back then, 380,000 years after the moment it was born. It looked like fire because the temperature made it look that way. – With the loss of temperature, the glow of the universe's thermal radiation has gone through several metamorphose. From blindingly bright yellow, it went to fiery orange and then became red, which was replaced by black. – Then the stars were exploding into supernovas with every color imaginable; or collapsing into black holes, where no color is possible at all. – The first and only visible thing that ever appeared in the universe was so heated that it looked like an orange glow and nothing more. – It’s well known that our galaxy isn’t that dense, and its appearance to us is only what we’re limited to from our planet’s perspective.

More The First Color That Appeared in the Universe Videos

If you’re on an overnight flight, you might have been looking forward to a gorgeous, clear view of the stars! That’s the whole reason you booked that window seat, right? But when night falls, you look out your window, and…no stars! They’re obviously still there…so what’s going on here?? Well, there are a few reasons! Do you know, for example, what light pollution is? When you’re flying over a huge city like New York, London, or Tokyo, the stars have to compete with all of those artificial lights from the cities. It might seem crazy to think that man-made lights will block out the light of millions of stars, but the stars are much further away than those glowing city lights below! Other videos you might like:

Your Retinas 3:35
We Don’t Have Night Vision 4:09
Your Windows 4:44
🌟 How to see the stars from your flight 🌟 5:54 #planes #stars #brightside SUMMARY:
– No matter how dim the lights might get as they’re turned down around bedtime, there are enough of them to make it difficult to see the stars – which, keep in mind, are still quite a few miles away!
– A lot of light pollution, like the kind you’ll get flying over a big city, can cause skyglow. Even if you aren’t flying directly over it, you can still see a big city to the left or right of you from a plane.
– The moon still blocks the light of some stars when you’re stargazing from Earth. – It might feel like you’re much closer to the stars while up in your airplane, but in terms of miles and light-years, you aren’t really that much closer.
– Atmospheric turbulence is irregular air currents that are mixed around by the wind. – Turbulence may bring in clouds, even on a clear night, which will block your view of the stars.
– The retina is the part of your eye that processes light. If you have any pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes, or have had any head trauma, your retinas may not work properly, and you may not be able to see the stars.
– It takes us 10-20 minutes for our eyes to acclimate to the dark. So if you’re trying to see the stars from your plane and can’t, don’t give up too quickly!
– The windows of an airplane are oddly shaped and on the small side, only reaching from about shoulder to elbow; not ideal for stargazing. – Assuming that it’s a clear night, one option is to cover your head and sides of your face with your travel blanket. The goal here is to block out all the unnatural light from inside the cabin. – You could also try asking the flight attendants if they could shut off the cabin lights for a minute or two.
– If you’re flying over an area with no skyglow or light pollution, and the lights are off in the cabin, you should be able to see some stars once your eyes adjust.
– If you’re doing some nighttime flying over Idaho, Utah, Colorado, or British Columbia, you just might be in for the sight of a lifetime! These parts of the U.S. are homes to many protected national parks and nature reserves, so there’s no danger of light pollution or skyglow.

More Why We Don’t See Stars from a Plane Videos

Smartphones are one of the greatest things to happen to humanity. You’ve got a palm-sized computer with you at all times! …Also making them one of the most annoying things ever! You know, that computer requires power, so you constantly have to charge the thing. So, why don't we just make smartphones solar-powered? It seems like a great idea in the making! The limited time you can use your phone without plugging it into a socket can cause a whole slew of problems. As for the sun, it's always there, it's an endless source of energy, AND people already use it to charge batteries! But with smartphones, it’s not as simple as it may seem… Other videos you might like:

What about solar-powered calculators? 2:52
The weather matters too 3:39
But there used to be phones powered by the sun! 4:12
Wonder-film 6:05 #smartphones #brightside #technologies SUMMARY:
– Modern phones are vulnerable to extreme temperatures, especially when they're scorching.
– Smartphones start to strain as soon as the temperature reaches 95°F. They get warmer and warmer, and all the electronics they're packed with eventually become overheated. – The heat from the sun can lead to battery leakage, which can cause a fire! – Another problem with solar panels is deciding where to install them.
– Calculators don't need nearly as much power as your cell phone does. They don't transmit tons of data, take pictures and videos, or make calls.
– The ideal conditions for charging your solar-powered phone would be a clear sky and bright sun shining directly on the panel.
– Still, lots of manufacturers are looking for ways to make solar batteries work for cell phones.
– In short, any company that’s tried to come up with a functioning solar-powered phone encountered the same problems.
– And even if the whole phone was covered in solar panels, this would still fail to make your device work for as long as electrical charging does. – Still, producers haven’t lost hope, and they keep upgrading solar-powered phones.
– They’ve now invented a special film that changes light into electricity. This see-through film could be installed in smartphones between the display and touch screen.
– Light could pass through it, and it would collect energy from the sun's ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
– You wouldn't even notice that your phone is charging, AND you could carry it anywhere while it does! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Phones Don’t Have Solar Panels Yet Videos

Most people don’t even think about being in danger. But anyone can find themselves in a position when a lot is at stake. And it might happen when no one’s around. How to save yourself in a critical situation? Knowing some useful pieces of advice for different life situations can be really helpful! Do you know, for example, what to do if you find yourself with frostbite? Or how to find a source of water in a desert? Or why it's really dangerous to build a fire inside a cave? (And no, the main problem isn't the smoke from the fire.) Interested? So here's a list of facts that can help you act rationally in a critical situation. Other videos you might like:

Can you drink saltwater in small amounts 6:59
Extra stuff for unpredicted situations 7:25 #survivaltips #survivalhacks #brightside SUMMARY:
– If your wrists are bound with zip ties, rotate and move them back and forth against each other. It's likely to loosen the cords a bit, and you'll be able to remove the ties.
– If you find yourself with frostbite, take care of it as soon as you can. Despite the popular misconception, do NOT pour hot water on the damaged skin – it’ll make things much worse!
– If you run out of water in the wilderness, your top priority is to find a source of it. Keep in mind that water always runs downhill.
– If you get lost in the wilderness and have no idea what direction to choose, find a stream or a small creek. Follow it until it merges with a larger river.
– Dip the matches into hot wax and let them dry. It’ll make them waterproof, and to use one, you'll just have to scrape the wax off the match head.
– The heat coming from your fire will cause the rocks to expand. Eventually, they’ll give in, and you may get trapped in a rockfall or a landslide.
– If you find yourself surrounded by snow and with no drinking water on hand, eating snow is NOT the best way to rehydrate. In fact, it’ll most likely lead to further dehydration!
– If you’re restrained and lying in a puddle of mud or muddy water, arch your back. This posture will help the air get to your lungs faster and more easily. – As soon as you realize you're lost in the woods during a hike, immediately stop. It may sound counterintuitive, but the best solution isn't to keep walking. – There’s an "Urban Survival Myth" that it's safe to drink saltwater in small amounts. But in reality, such a delusion can have very dramatic consequences.
– When you go on a hike or decide to spend several days camping, pack your bag with some extra stuff for unpredicted situations. – Opt for products that don't weigh a lot, like dried fruit and peanut butter or beef jerky.

More 13 Easy Tips That May Save Your Life One Day Videos

We’ve explored a fraction of the ocean, most of the Earth, and parts of our Solar System. But, do you ever wonder what everything around us is made up of? You might be surprised that the most abundant elements in the universe are limited on Earth. What happens below the Earth’s crust is inaccessible to us, but not for our lack of trying. In 1970, we tried to dig a hole that would go below the crust. The hole was just 9 inches in diameter, and it’s considered to be the deepest hole in the world – in terms of true vertical depth.

Why can’t we find Helium on Earth? 6:46
Neon 7:05
Platinum 7:39
Gold 7:59
The rarest element on Earth! 8:21 #chemistry #strangethings #brightside SUMMARY:
– Oxygen would be #1 on that list. Apart from its presence in the atmosphere as a gas, it’s also present in rocks.
– The 10th most abundant element in our list is Hydrogen. It’s the simplest element in the Universe and it goes all the way back to the Big Bang.
– The 17th most abundant element is carbon, which is also the second most common element in our bodies, holding 18% of its mass.
– Iodine is the 61st element on the list. It’s the heaviest of the stable halogens and it has a dark purply color. It was first discovered in 1811, but was given a name 2 years later.
– Which is why helium balloons rush to reach the sky when you let go of them. Helium is also the first noble gas, which means that it doesn’t react with other elements to form compounds.
– At #74, we have platinum. It’s mostly found in copper and nickel ores in South Africa.
– And now it’s time for the rarest element on Earth: Astatine, with the most stable isotope, has an 8-hour half-life.
– Chemists were on the hunt for this missing element for decades. They believe that it has a shiny black metallic color.
– Until they found it, they gave it the name Eka-iodine, since it belonged to the same family with Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine.

More What’s the Rarest Element on Earth Videos

If you think about it, what could be more frightful than whizzing through the air at over 500 miles per hour in a big pressurized aluminum tube, 6 miles up, where the air outside is too thin to breathe, and the temperature is lower than -40 F? Any one of these things is dangerous by itself, and commercial flights include them all at the same time. No wonder thousands of people are afraid of flying. They’re only protected by a thin metal skin! But are planes really that dangerous? The good news is that statistics are on the side of aviation. They prove that airplanes are the safest means of travel. Other videos you might like:

What the International Civil Aviation Organization does 7:27 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY:
– Only one airplane crash happens per about every 16 million flights on average, and about 500 people don’t survive in all the crashes that happen in a year. – In comparison, about 1.5 million people will be in a car crash and not walk away from it each year. – There's a myth that there're no chances of surviving a plane crash, but it has little to do with reality. – There’ve been 568 airplane accidents in the US between 1983 and 2000. The number of people who didn’t survive was only 5% of all the passengers who were on board.
– Statistics reveal that the number of train crashes is much more frequent than in aviation. It's just that they don't cause as many casualties and don’t get as much media coverage.
– If a passenger boards a random flight every day, statistically, it'd take them 21,000 years to get into an aircrash. – The 2 most common fears that passenger have on board the plane are engine failure and turbulence. – The truth is that the engines aren’t exactly what keeps the plane going. – f both engines break down in the air, which almost never happens, inertia won’t allow it to drop straight down.
– When the plane goes through layers of air of different density, it can start vibrating. This is what we know as turbulence.
– Sometimes turbulence can happen when the sky is clear, or there are few high-level clouds. It’s called clear air turbulence. – Though it can cause discomfort, or even jostle passengers in the most extreme cases, it does no harm to the plane itself. – The only time strong wind can pose a real danger is during take-off and landing, but in that case, the pilot will just go to a reserve airfield. The system of aviation is built like an ideal pyramid. The head of this pyramid is the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
– ICAO controls the number of hours all the pilot’s fly in the whole world. Specialists make mathematical calculations to handle the landings of the planes, where the difference could be just 40 seconds between them.
– The ICAO has a strict rule about food for pilots: all the meals for the crew are prepared separately.
– This is done so that the second pilot can replace the first one if he gets food poisoning. – Pilots can often speak several languages, have excellent computers skills, have great reflexes, and excellent sight. – They’re constantly in touch with the flight control center, adjusting the autopilot if necessary, and keeping everything under control.
