I’m Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment! Imagine you’re upstairs, you press the TV remote, and the TV downstairs turns on. Sounds impossible, right? But what if you could build an invisible path of light through a house full of walls and floors and send your signal right to the TV? A […]

The smooth curves that water traces through the air are physics in action. On my last trip to DisneySea, I spotted some beautiful parabolas in […]
