Imagine that you don’t have to spend hours in traffic jams on your way to the office. No need to be squeezed in a crowd of commuters at rush hour. To get to the supermarket, you don’t even have to go out. Just press a button in the elevator or walk down the stairs if you’re in an athletic mood. Sound like a miracle? In fact, there’s a town in Alaska whose citizens have everything they need under one roof. It’s Whittier, maybe the strangest town you’ve ever seen. Whittier is situated on the coast of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. All of Whittier’s 220 citizens live in one building; a tower of condominiums. Citizens don’t only live in the same building, but go to work, school, and do their shopping by just pressing different buttons in the elevator. Well, actually there’s one guy, Paul, who thinks he’s special and lives in a camper nearby. TIMESTAMPS:

– Whittier is situated on the coast of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. It was named after the glacier nearby.
– All of Whittier’s 220 citizens live in one building; a tower of condominiums.
– The 14-story building is called Begich towers, and it has pretty much everything you need in life: a police station, 2 supermarkets, town offices, a covered playground, laundry, post office, and a clinic. – Whittier is isolated from the rest of the world, and lives mostly off natural resources. Fishing is the main activity of the locals, and one of their main income generators. – Although the climate is more moderate here than deeper in Alaska, thanks to the ocean, winters are very snowy, and summers are rainy.
– You might think that it’s a paradise for introverts, where you can get lost forever. But you’ll hardly find a more interactive and social town than Whittier.
– The town was founded in 1943, and the location was chosen not for its magnificent beauty, but for the natural isolation. The town was built as a defense facility for the US military. – Several standard houses were built for the staff working in the harbor there, with very simple architecture.

More The Only City Where All People Live in One Building Videos

It seems like almost every country in the world has at least one law that baffles foreigners to no end, and Canada is no exception! Did you just say I can't fill my bathtub with more than 3-and-a-half inches of water when taking a bath? Yep, that's Canada! Do you want to have more than 4 pet rats at a time? Then, unfortunately, Canada isn’t the country for you. There are places in Canada where you can't attach sirens to your bike, build a snowman that’s taller than 30 inches, paint a wooden ladder, or leave home while "wearing" your pet snake on your neck or holding your pet lizard in your hands. If you want to take your snake (or any other reptile) for a walk, be so kind as to put it in a glass container. But wait, there's more to come. TIMESTAMPS:
A cow can't be your pet 0:27
No tall snowmen 0:59
You can't paint a wooden ladder 1:28
Animals made of balloons? Nope. 1:49
Don't "wear" your pet snake on your neck 2:00
Too many coins 2:16
Are you a teen? Don't untie your shoes! 3:32
Take good care of your lawn 4:04
The rule for Santa Claus 5:01
No public displays of affection on Sundays 5:48
Avoid scaring the Queen in Canada 6:21
Margarine should be white, not yellow 7:02
Don't enter the plane during the flight 8:31
Clotheslines… Yuck! 9:22
Never set someone's wooden leg on fire 9:50 #Canada #strangelaws #brightside SUMMARY:
– On the Canadian island Newfoundland, a cow can't be your pet, even if you've been dreaming of it your whole life.
– In Sudbury, Ontario, you can't attach sirens to your bike; otherwise, you'll have to pay a fine of a whopping $5,000!
– In the town of Souris, on Prince Edward Island, there’s a law that prohibits you from building a snowman that’s taller than 30 inches.
– In Etobicoke, Ontario, people seem to be a little too worried about bathtub safety. Thus, according to the local law, you can't enjoy more than 3.5 inches of water in your bathtub.
– If you ever visit the Canadian province of Alberta, do NOT paint a wooden ladder – it's against the law. – And in the town of Oshawa, in Ontario, you can’t climb a tree; otherwise, you'll have big problems with the authorities. – Victoria, British Columbia, has an inexplicable rule of its own: here, street entertainers aren't allowed to give children animals made of balloons.
– If you decide to work as a cab driver in Halifax, never – do you hear me? – never wear a T-shirt and a pair of shorts when inside the car. – If you decide to paint a garage door in Kanata, which is one of the largest suburbs of Ottawa, use any color but purple.
– Be careful if you're a teenager wearing lace-up shoes on Main Street in Fort Qu'Appelle in Saskatchewan. There, teens can’t have untied shoes.
– If you live in the town of London, Ontario, make sure that you take good care of your lawn. Once the grass grows 8 inches tall, immediately mow the lawn.
– Ok, how about this one: in Ottawa, it's illegal to eat ice cream on Bank Street on Sundays.
– In Vancouver, from 1947 to 1986, you weren't allowed to sell stoves within city limits on Wednesdays. – In Ontario, you can’t drive your sleigh along the highway without a minimum of 2 bells attached to the harness of the horse. – In Charlottetown, on Prince Edward Island, you can’t ring anyone's doorbell or knock at other people's doors as a joke – it's prohibited by law. – In Uxbridge, Ontario, you probably won’t be able to watch your favorite movie on Netflix. The problem is the Internet speed: according to the local law, it can’t be faster than 56k.
– According to Canadian laws, not less than 35% of all the content broadcasted on the radio must be of Canadian origin. – Don't pretend to be a person you aren't in Quebec. In particular, avoid impersonating a foreigner – it's illegal and is punished with a fine. – If you buy a house in Beaconsfield, Quebec, don't even try to paint it more than two colors.
– In Montreal, you can't drive a car with a "For Sale" sign on it. If you want to inform the world about your intentions, stop first, put the sign in the window next. – If you visit Oak Bay, British Columbia, with your talking parrot, make sure that it doesn't talk too loudly! Otherwise, you'll have to pay a $100 fine.
– In Alberta, try to resist the temptation to set someone's wooden leg on fire. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More 30+ Bizarre Old Canadian Laws Even Locals Never Knew Videos

The theory of multiple or parallel universes is one that blurs the line between scientific reality and science fiction. It’s a pretty huge topic of debate in the scientific community, with big names on both sides. If you believe that multiple universes exist, then maybe you can feel a little better about having the great genius physicist Stephen Hawking in your camp! He had a pretty spectacular theory on multiple universes. This is the idea that everything you thought you ever knew – our planet, the solar system, our galaxy, all the other stars and galaxies out there as far as our fancy telescopes can see – it’s just one itsy bitsy piece of a really giant puzzle! TIMESTAMPS:
What a “multiverse” really is 1:26
There are infinite me’s and you’s each in their own universe 😱 2:25
What these universes look like 3:17
What would a parallel version of our world look like? 4:45
How to prove that? 5:32
How could you possibly travel to a different universe? 8:24 #sciense #universe #brightside SUMMARY:
– Up until recent years, scientists were sure there was only one universe that contained everything known to humankind – hence the whole “uni” thing.
– This is now known as the Multiple Worlds theory. So how does it work? You can mostly visualize it like a flow chart that keeps branching off continuously. – Some believe these universes are like bubbles, totally unseen by each other because, well, we just don’t have that kind of technology! There’s also the model that shows universes looking kinda like sheets of paper stacked on top of each other.
– So, what would a parallel version of our world look like? Well, some attributes of our universe may be different, while some are the same! For example, perhaps this parallel version of our planet has grass and trees and birds flying in the sky and whatnot. – Anyway, before we travel to these worlds, we have to know they’re actually real. Proving or disproving their existence is no easy task.
– The idea is to blast a handful of subatomic particles through a 50-foot tunnel, past a really strong magnet, and into a wall at the end. If some of those particles come out as a mirror image of themselves on the other side, that means science has made a breakthrough of galactic proportions.
– In theory, some scientists believe the Big Bang that started it all could’ve been two universes colliding and forming a new one! – How could you possibly travel to a different universe? Of course, we’re talking theoretical physics here, so there are plenty of theories! First off, there’s always wormholes!
– And, well, there’s always Stephen Hawking’s theory of how you can travel to another universe: all you have to do is jump into a black hole! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Scientists Think a Parallel Universe Does Exist Videos

Planet Earth lives by the laws of gravity discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. Gravity is constant. It's something entirely unshakeable that we can always rely on in this ever-changing world, right? Umm, not really. In fact, it’s not as honest and clear as you think. There are gravitational anomalies in some places where gravity behaves like it’s gone crazy. In such places this law can’t be applied: there, a car can go uphill with its engine off, a waterfall doesn’t fall, and a very heavy boulder can sit on top of a rock at a very strange angle without tumbling down. TIMESTAMPS:
Where cars crawl upwards 0:40
Where trees twist to the north at the roots 1:41
Where a waterfall moves upwards 2:30
Where water flows up instead of spilling down 3:14
Where different objects roll uphill 3:59
Where a boulder sits upon the edge of a cliff 4:43
One more boulder defying gravity 5:41
Devils Tower 6:54
Where you can’t stand straight 7:58
The Hudson Bay anomaly 8:54 #gravity #anomaly #brightside SUMMARY:
– There’s a stretch of road in India that’s been attracting tourists from all over the world. If you stop your car on the Magnetic Hill going up the slope and put it on neutral, it’ll start crawling upwards, eventually reaching the speed of up to 12 mph.
– Near the village of Nowe Czarnowo, there’s a forest, in the depth of which you can find a strangely looking pine grove. Planted in 1930s, there are 400 trees that sharply twist to the north almost at the roots and then grow upwards in a semicircle. – Ever seen an upward moving waterfall? You can have a look at one on the Faroe Islands halfway from Iceland to Scotland.
– If you ever get up to the top of the dam, which is about 726 ft high, you can try a little trick: take a bottle of water and pour it over the edge. You’ll see the water flow up instead of spilling down. – Another gravitational anomaly located on a road. Locals once found out that, if you put an empty can or a bottle on the ground, it will immediately start rolling uphill.
– If you happen to be in Burma, make sure to visit this well-known site. A gold-leaf covered boulder sits upon the edge of a cliff, and a small pagoda is built on top of it. The impressive thing about the rock is that it only lightly touches the cliff for support.
– If there ever was a thing that said “I defy gravity” out loud, it’s the Stone of Davasco. The huge 300-ton boulder stands precariously on the edge of a cliff and rocks a little bit from side to side in the wind. – The true mind-blowing feature of Devils Tower is that scientists can’t explain how it came to existence in the first place. You see, it’s an 867-foot rock formation with walls so steep they’re basically vertical. This piece of stone just rose amid rolling plains of Wyoming with nothing like it for miles and miles around.-
– The House of Mystery in Gold Hill, Oregon, amazes its visitors with gravity-defying effects: you can’t stand straight there, always leaning to the side and having to hold on to something for balance.
– Hudson Bay, Canada, is probably the only place in the world where gravity is indeed lower than anywhere else on the planet! Even skeptics can’t smirk at it because the difference has been measured with precision equipment.

More 10 Places on Earth Where Gravity Is Zero Videos

Do you enjoy being tickled? In truth, there are few people who would firmly answer “yes” to this question. And while it seems not too much of a problem, you can have trust issues because of childhood tickling. Sounds crazy, but there’s plenty of reasons for that. We’ve all been tickled from time to time as children, so we assume it to be normal. But remember that back in those days, not wearing a seat belt also used to be normal! Tickling kids can be more harmful than good. So here's why you should skip it and find another way to have fun — perhaps sharing a joke or playing together is a better idea. TIMESTAMPS:
❗️ Tickling is dominant 0:20
Kids might not be able to say “stop” 1:18
Ticklish laughter isn’t real laughter 2:04
Tickling was a method of extracting information once 2:52
Tickling can cause trust issues in adulthood 4:10 ❓ Why a child can ask to be tickled 5:04
How tickling can be made into a real game 6:37 #parentingtips #kids #brightside SUMMARY:
– When you’re the tickler, you get full control of the situation, especially with little kids. The child, on the other hand, is in the submissive position since they’re not able to get away from you even if they want to.
– The child can’t stop laughing if you go on tickling them, and at some point, they simply become unable to say anything, getting red in the face and struggling even to breathe.
– A study was conducted at the University of California in 1997 that proved there is no connection between ticklish laughter and genuine laughter. When you’re being tickled, you laugh because you can’t help it; it’s more of a reflex, like a knee-jerk reaction.
– Picture this: in different countries and at different times, tickling was used to force information from people. It only sounds stupid for the first few minutes. When you’re constantly tickled for hours on end without any means to escape, that’s no joke.
– Tickling depended in part on the same nerve fibers as pain sensation. That means if you tickle someone, you might easily bring it to the point where it becomes unpleasant and even painful. – Parenting expert Patty Wipfler says that, when recalling traumatic experience from their childhood, adults talk about tickling often. Some were tickled by their parents in a form of a game; others by their siblings, sometimes with not such a good intent.
– Some children ask their parents to tickle them not because they like it but because it’s the only way to make the parents play with them.
– Still, even tickling can be made into a real game for the two of you. It’s quite simple: just pretend that you’re about to tickle your kid but don’t do it. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Science Proves Tickling Kids Isn’t Okay Videos

Have you ever gazed out at the night sky and been fascinated by a bright band of stars? That’s the Milky Way – the galaxy where our sun hangs out. And the sun is not the only star in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is not the only galaxy in the universe. Astronomers have long since been in the quest to find out exactly how many galaxies there are in the universe, and you won’t believe the numbers they’ve come up with! Today we have telescopes both on the ground, and in outer space, that regularly stare into the vast universe to detect the faintest and most distant galaxies. In 2016, a study conducted by a team of astronomers used 3D modeling of images collected over 20 years by the Hubble Space Telescope to determine the number of galaxies. What they found was amazing… TIMESTAMPS:
The variable stars 🌟 0:54
125 billion galaxies? Well, it's not much 2:28
What the observable universe is 3:19
The farthest galaxy (it's really far, far away) 4:09
The star we're seeing 4 years in the past 4:44
How old is the universe? 5:52
The farthest individual star we’ve seen to date 7:13
So what about 300,000 new galaxies? 7:53 #space #planets #brightside SUMMARY:
– With time, as humans progressed, the scope of what we considered the universe also advanced. – For a large part of human history, we considered the Milky Way to be the only universe. We thought that all the stars that we see belong to it.
– This belief didn’t change until the 1900s, when scientists identified stars whose brightness seemed to change when observed from the earth. – Then came Hubble, who, using the Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, California, identified several of these variable stars. – Today we have telescopes both on the ground, and in outer space, that regularly stare into the vast universe to detect the faintest and most distant galaxies. – Scientists determined that there are about 125 billion galaxies. But that large number appears faint compared to what scientists would discover a few years later.
– In 2016, a team of astronomers said there are over 2 trillion galaxies. These galaxies lie in what is known as the observable universe.
– The light from our Sun, which is just about 93 million miles away from the Earth, takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to get here. And so, if the light from the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, takes more than 4 years to reach us, it means we're seeing that star 4 years in the past. – It’s now generally accepted that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old.
– A very fascinating, and yet sometimes confusing, aspect of the universe is that its size is not permanent. Instead, it’s been growing ever since it was created by the Big Bang. – The enormous blue star nicknamed Icarus is the farthest individual star we’ve seen to date.

More Scientists Discovered 300,000 New Hidden Galaxies Videos

Have you ever gazed out at the night sky and been fascinated by a bright band of stars? That’s the Milky Way – the galaxy where our sun hangs out. And the sun is not the only star in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is not the only galaxy in the universe. Astronomers have long since been in the quest to find out exactly how many galaxies there are in the universe, and you won’t believe the numbers they’ve come up with! Today we have telescopes both on the ground, and in outer space, that regularly stare into the vast universe to detect the faintest and most distant galaxies. In 2016, a study conducted by a team of astronomers used 3D modeling of images collected over 20 years by the Hubble Space Telescope to determine the number of galaxies. What they found was amazing… TIMESTAMPS:
The variable stars 🌟 0:54
125 billion galaxies? Well, it's not much 2:28
What the observable universe is 3:19
The farthest galaxy (it's really far, far away) 4:09
The star we're seeing 4 years in the past 4:44
How old is the universe? 5:52
The farthest individual star we’ve seen to date 7:13
So what about 300,000 new galaxies? 7:53 #space #planets #brightside SUMMARY:
– With time, as humans progressed, the scope of what we considered the universe also advanced. – For a large part of human history, we considered the Milky Way to be the only universe. We thought that all the stars that we see belong to it.
– This belief didn’t change until the 1900s, when scientists identified stars whose brightness seemed to change when observed from the earth. – Then came Hubble, who, using the Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, California, identified several of these variable stars. – Today we have telescopes both on the ground, and in outer space, that regularly stare into the vast universe to detect the faintest and most distant galaxies. – Scientists determined that there are about 125 billion galaxies. But that large number appears faint compared to what scientists would discover a few years later.
– In 2016, a team of astronomers said there are over 2 trillion galaxies. These galaxies lie in what is known as the observable universe.
– The light from our Sun, which is just about 93 million miles away from the Earth, takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to get here. And so, if the light from the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, takes more than 4 years to reach us, it means we're seeing that star 4 years in the past. – It’s now generally accepted that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old.
– A very fascinating, and yet sometimes confusing, aspect of the universe is that its size is not permanent. Instead, it’s been growing ever since it was created by the Big Bang. – The enormous blue star nicknamed Icarus is the farthest individual star we’ve seen to date.
– But even with such advanced systems, scientists say that they’ve only been able to chart 2 percent of the sky so far. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
