The average person spends about 4 hours a day on their phone. That means in a single week, our eyes are glued to the screen for over an entire day! While there’s nothing wrong with a little screen time every now and then, there are some places where your phone should stay in your pocket… Have you ever been texting your friends as you got in the car and forgot you left your coffee on the roof? Imagine something like that, and you might have an idea why so many gas stations have signs up warning customers to stay off their phones as they’re pumping gas. Also, some people believe the device can shoot out radio waves or sparks and catch the gas on fire? Let's find out if that's true! Other videos you might like:

Can your phone shoot out sparks? 😮 0:32
What if you damaged a nozzle? 1:01
Mobile phones on aircraft 2:52
Why it was a major concern in the 1990s 4:02
Smartphone use in hospitals 6:53 #smartphones #staysafe #brightside SUMMARY:
– They put these signs up to keep distracted drivers from pulling away from the pump with the nozzle still attached! When that happens, you risk gas leaking out all over the place, and then there’s the chance of it lighting up.
– Fortunately, this isn’t as much of a threat as it perhaps used to be. Most modern gas pumps feature breakaway nozzles that will seal the pump if they’re pulled on too hard. ]
– Either way, the driver, or at least their insurance company, is still responsible for any equipment they break. If the driver’s lucky, they’ll only need to pay for the breakaway mechanism to be replaced. – Most airlines require you to switch your phone to airplane mode. The signals produced by wireless devices can interfere with the plane’s electronics.
– This phone interference isn’t too much of a problem anymore thanks to modern technology, but it was a major concern in the 1990s. – Devices from that era were notorious for their ability to interfere with nearby electronics, and that was a risk airlines weren’t willing to take.
– There’s also the issue of radio waves interfering with a plane’s communications. Again, it’s nothing too dramatic.
– The third reason why you’re asked to turn off your phone on the plane has to do with your wireless carrier.
– Cell towers were designed around some basic assumption about where their users are going to be located. Thousands of feet in the air close to the speed of sound was not one of them. – The good news is, these risks are all fairly remote, and there’s never been a major accident caused by someone using their phone on a plane.
– Studies have shown that electronic devices can tamper with some of the more sensitive hospital equipment. – The scientists concluded that 3 ft was far enough away to be safe. Although, they do recommend keeping mobile phones out of the room entirely just to be on the super safe side!

More Never Use Your Phone When Pumping Gas Videos

A hundred years ago an opportunity to literally look through a person would seem crazy to scientists and doctors. In fact, the father of X-rays, German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen, discovered them by accident. But when he was offered to patent his invention, he burst out laughing. He was skeptical about X-rays as he saw no sphere where they could be used. Despite his own attitude towards his discovery, it made a sensation in the scientific community, and the units to measure the amount of X-rays were named after him — Roentgen.

How safe are X-rays? 5:36
The greatest source of radiation 6:22
The most unusual area where X-rays are used 7:23 #howitworks #xray #brightside SUMMARY:
– Negatively charged electrons that come off the cathode gain speed and bump into the positively charged anode, where they have to pull up sharp. As a result of this, there appears an X-ray.
– The harder the material is, the slower they will move. That’s why human bones slow down X-rays much more than soft tissues that are 70% water.
– In fact, X-ray pictures are photo negatives, that’s why lighter spots are called “shadows”.
– On November 8, 1895, Roentgen stayed in his laboratory till late at night. When he was going to leave and turned off the light and all the devices he noticed that a bottle with transparent liquid in one of the corners of the laboratory started shining with a green light. – He got interested in an unusual effect and started researching his casual discovery. – His hand also got under the strange ray. What Roentgen saw shocked him – he saw the shade of his hand’s bones! He literally was looking through his hand.
– When he was offered to patent his invention, he burst out laughing. He was skeptical about X-rays as he saw no sphere where they could be used. – He was the first scientist in history to receive a Nobel prize in physics but he never patented his invention and granted it to people. – More than a hundred years have passed since X-rays were discovered in 1895, but it is still considered one of the most serious breakthroughs in medicine.
– It was not until the second half of the 20th century that X-ray technology was considered not totally safe as it exposes you to radiation. Its effect is different in different body parts.
– The dose of stomach and intestine X-rays is equal to what you can get in 3 years of your common life.
– The Sun is the greatest source of radiation that tries to get to us from space. – The most unusual area where X-rays are used now is expert evaluation of the authenticity of art pieces. This method was used for the first time 70 years ago and is still the most reliable one.
– X-rays are now widely used in archeology too. When they found scrolls in Pompeii, they were so fragile that any attempt to unfold them would ruin them forever.
– But X-rays helped to read the text written inside the scrolls without unfolding them! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What a wonderful feeling when you know that tomorrow is your day off and you don’t have to go anywhere. But stop and think — what if all the people on the planet quit working and everyone took a day off at the same time? Sounds cool, but it sure wouldn't lead to anything good. Okay, so you wake up in the morning after a good night’s sleep. The alarm didn't go off because you don’t have to go anywhere. You're ready to take a shower, so you turn the handle and… dirty water comes flowing out. The water stops with a 'clunk', and then bursts out with such intense pressure that your faucet breaks. The fact is that there's no one to regulate the filtration and pressure of the water. And this is just the beginning. Other videos you might like:

More What If All People Stopped Working for a Day Videos

Ever ridden on a school bus? The most prominent thing about them (at least in the U.S.) is that they’re yellow. But their roofs are usually a different color – white. So why is that? Let's figure out! By the way, while the iconic yellow school buses are common around the world there are school buses that are anything but ordinary. And today, we will talk about them too! For example, almost 50% of the Netherlands’ population rides a bike every day to go to work. So the government came up with the idea of a bus for kids ages 4 to 12 that will carry them to school the same way. This bus can fit a driver, 8 students who must pedal, and 3 other students who can sit on a bench in the back. Other videos you might like:

– The white roof of a bus makes the temperature inside drop an average of 10 degrees during warm seasons and only 3 to 4 degrees in wintertime.
– Besides, in the case of an emergency, a bus will be noticed faster by a rescue helicopter. – Finally, not painting the roof the same yellow color as the rest of a bus is just cheaper, since the material most bus manufacturers use is already white. – An Osaka kindergarten bus design was inspired by one of the most famous anime characters ever – Pikachu. Actually, using anime characters for modifying school buses is pretty common for Japan.
– Imagine a metal box secured to a bike and you’ll get an idea of what a rickshaw is. This mode of transportation is still used for school children in different parts of India. – Topsy-turvy runs on vegetable oil, it tours the whole country to educate kids about eco-friendly alternatives and explain to them how important it is to look for renewable energy sources. – The bike can go as fast as 10 miles per hour, and there’s also a motor installed that helps it get uphill, or when kids feel too tired to pedal. – The suspension monorail is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars. It started operating in 1901. – If you’re ever in Hong Kong, you’ll appreciate the world’s longest outdoor escalator that connects the city's central district with the higher-lying residential neighborhoods.
– Shanghai boasts one of the fastest trains in the world. The Maglev – short for “magnetic levitation” – runs at a speed of 267 miles per hour and covers 21 miles in only 8 minutes.
– A toboggan is a wicker basket attached to two wooden runners that glide on greased up rags. It’s one of Madeira, Portugal’s most famous attractions, and takes tourists for a 1-mile journey down a curvy road.

More Why School Buses Always Have White Roofs Videos

If you’re not a morning person, then you’d probably love living on the moon or out in space! The whole “lack of oxygen” thing aside, a ‘round-the-clock night sky sounds pretty tempting! But why is there so much light on Earth, but almost none once you leave our planet? You might think that it’s light during the day and dark at night because the Earth spins on its axis, and the Sun illuminates either hemisphere. That’s part of the reason, but it’s more complicated than that. Our star shines on the Moon too, but the sky above it is always black! Other videos you might like:

– If you find yourself on the Moon, where there’s no atmosphere, the sky will be black. You’ll be able to see the stars even when the sun is blazing on the surface during the lunar day.
– In the early 19th century, German astronomer Wilhelm Olbers suggested that the reason the sky is dark at night was a dusty veil that hid most of the stars from us.
– Thanks to our fancy powerful telescopes, we now know that it takes light billions of years to get to us from the farthest stars. – Modern telescopes can show us that the light started its journey to the Earth about 10 billion years ago. The more powerful telescopes get, the further back in time we can see.
– But don’t all those distant stars give at least some noticeable light on this planet? It’d be like switching on a ton of tiny halogen light bulbs. They’re not as bright as one big LED bulb, but they do give off part of its light.
– Space might be empty compared to the Earth’s atmosphere, but there are a lot of gases out there.

More Why Is It So Dark in Outer Space? Videos

They say video games aren’t good for you. They say they’re bad for your eyes, your spine, and your social life. But hey, just show those head shakers this video and prove to them that there are a lot of reasons why they’d be better off playing video games!

– A player is changing missions constantly; they get used to switching from one assignment to another.

In these games, one has to notice the slightest changes in the game field – moving shadows, dark shapes, and silhouettes. – There are a lot of bright spots on the screen, which train their sight to react to bright colors, and their visual acuity gets stronger.
– Researchers have proved that people who have to go through a painful treatment feel much better if they play video games during the process.
