Wren Weichman, Corridor Crew YouTube channel member, explains the actual size of atoms by comparing it to the size of a tennis ball. If an atom was the size of a tennis ball, he says, our blood cells would be the size of a small town. A penny would have the same diameter as the Earth! It’s pretty wild to even think about it.

Rober is an engineer and inventor from Sunnyvale, California, who’s dedicated his life to science. After receiving a BA and Master’s degrees in engineering, he joined NASA and worked there for 9 years. In his free time, he also worked on his own ideas, and even founded and sold his own company.

While science and engineering have always fascinated Mark, he knows STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) isn’t as accessible for others. That’s why he also started his own YouTube channel, where he makes pranks, builds machines and explores scientific ideas in fun, approachable ways.

So far, he’s invented a prank to make your friends think you can pull a watermelon whole out of its shell, powered up an electric car with melons, created a glow wall, and invented a glitter trap for package thieves.

Mark’s approach to science is relaxed and fun. He proves that science isn’t just for serious grown-ups in lab coats. In fact, with a little bit of creativity, science can be for everybody.

In the video, we learn that the term ‘fractal’ was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 in order to help introduce the concept to the public. Mandelbrot had early access to IMB’s computers and used them to create fractal geometric images, which lead to his discovery of the Mandelbrot set.

“What is a fractal, and how can fractals help us understand the universe? Classic examples of fractals in nature are broccoli and snowflakes,” the video description reads. “They can offer a fascinating explanation for how the world works!” Watch it below.
