What happens if a bird flies into a plane engine? The event is called a bird strike. Each year, bird strikes cost US airlines an estimated $1.2 billion. Only part of those costs are from actual damage. The rest comes from flight delays and cancellations.

A bird strike can disable a plane's engine. But engines are designed to withstand at least one bird. Plus, pilots can still fly a plane with just one operating engine.

Ocado Technology has developed a robot that aims to recognise and sort over 50,000 unique items from its storage crates.

The robot pick station consists of a suction cup on the end of an articulated arm. The arm is equipped with a pipe running to an air compressor, which is capable of lifting items regardless of their shape, as long as they are within the weight restriction.

Built-in sensors avoid the risk of crushing or damaging during picking. The same technology is also used when placing the picked item into the customer crate to avoid items already packed being crushed by other incoming items.

The system also ensures that the items are only released if they can be placed without protruding from the delivery crate.

Following is the transcript of the video:

Behold! The shapeshifting Deepstaria jellyfish. But it doesn't have tentacles like most jellyfish. Instead, it has what experts call a "bell." Don't be fooled by its tranquil presence. 

This is a predator on the hunt. Its bell is actually a deadly trap. The jellyfish expands its bell. This traps unsuspecting prey inside. Once inside the bell, there's no escape. The jellyfish digests its meal. The nutrients are carried throughout the body. Through a beautiful network of canals on its skin. Deepstaria jellies are common in Antarctic waters.

This is a remote-controlled snow plow. It's called the ATR-Orbiter. It's less than 3 feet tall.

The plow is 3.5 feet long. It's powered by rechargeable batteries, and it has a pulling capacity of 3500kg so it can clear snow with ease.

The remote works up to 150m away, so you could clear your yard from inside the Orbiter is still in the prototype phase, but it might be available soon.

Following is the transcript of the video:

Mark Manson: I think, if you look at a relationship, I actually think it should be as boring as possible. And that sounds really weird to people but if you think about it, a really happy 80-year-old couple that's been together for 60 years, the reason that they've been together for 60 years, it isn't because they took all these private jets and they had these crazy vacations and "Oh my God, look at their pictures."

It's because that they were able to be boring together. They are able to spend year after year, sitting around the house, talking about the same boring stuff, watching TV, watching movies, cooking dinner, and it went fine. There was nothing exciting, there's nothing blowing up, there's no huge drama, and dishes flying.

It's an important thing for people to understand because I think, especially today, a lot of people — we don't want to be a boring person, like we really want to be interesting people and have interesting lives but the problem is that, that conflicts with what makes a relationship good in a lot of cases. A lot of cases, what makes you an interesting and complex person, makes you a really horrible person to be with romantically. In a strange way, I feel like we need to cultivate more boredom in our lives, like boredom needs to be okay again. It needs to be seen as a good thing and I think it's definitely a good thing for relationships.

Potato chips are pretty salty, right? Turns out, when you compare them to other common foods, chips don't pack nearly as much sodium as you might think.

How much sodium in the average small bag of chips? We looked at the sodium content in a small bag of chips of three leading brands: Lay's (170mg), Ruffles (160mg), and Kettle Brand (210mg).

Following is the transcript of the video:

Andy Cunningham: I think Steve Jobs fired me about 5 times. I’m Andy Cunningham and I run a marketing consulting company called Cunningham Collective and I've just written a book about positioning, which is a big practice in the marketing field. It's called "Get to Aha!"

The first time Steve fired me was actually probably the most traumatic because I thought it was going to be the last time I would ever work with him and he called me into his office, or into a conference room I should say, and his CFO was sitting there and he looked at me and he said, "I'm going to cut off my contract with you. I think the work you're doing is terrible and we’re just going to stop it right now so that's it, you're fired."

And of course I was taken– you know I was emotional. I was much younger. I didn't cry but I was on the verge of it and I didn't really know what to do so I said, "Okay, well you know you owe me $35,000 and so I’ll arrange you know for you to—" he goes, "I'm not going to pay you that because your work wasn't worth it." And I was just kind of taken aback so I left the room and I called my mentor who is a man named Regis McKenna and Regis said to me, "Well, if you want to get paid by Steve Jobs you’re going to have to have something over him." And I said, "I don't have anything over Steve Jobs, you know that Regis. And he said, "No, you do." And I said, "What is that?" He goes, "In your relationships with the business press." And I said, "Oh I get it."

So I went back and I got in a meeting with Steve because I was friendly with his CFO— she got me a meeting. I walked in there to the meeting, which he took, which was amazing, and I said, "Steve you owe me $35,000. I need that money. I have a start-up company. I need to make payroll and I want you to give me a check for what you owe me." And he said, "I'm not going to do that." And I said, I said, "You have to do that," and he said, "Why?"

And I said, "Well, just so you know Steve I get about 30 or 40 phone calls a week from the business press that we've made relationships over the last couple of years asking me what kind of a guy you are to work with and I currently tell them very nice things." And he wrote me a check immediately and then he hired me back.

Steve got angry with everybody that worked with him. He was very impatient. He had a vision of what it was that you were supposed to be accomplishing and if you didn't do it fast enough or you didn't do it right enough, he definitely got angry. He threw things at people, nothing heavy, but he threw wads of paper at people, swore at people, criticized their clothing. He did all those things. So what it did to certain people is it caused us to push even harder and try to be even better, but for some people it destroyed them. Fortunately for me, I was one of the first types and I am forever grateful to him actually for the experience because now I am so much better at what I do than I would have been without him.

What if the moon and planets were closer to Earth? That's what Nick Holmes decided to find out. 

Holmes, AKA "yeti dynamics" on YouTube, animated these 3D models. He is an amateur astronomer and is interested in cosmology.

He wanted to show a sense of scale. This is what planets would look like if they were at the distance of the moon.

(Second animation): This animation shows the moon orbiting Earth at the same distance as the ISS.

During an interview at Business Insider's IGNITION conference in New York, Snapchat's VP of Content, Nick Bell, walked through all the changes coming up in the app's biggest redesign. Following is a transcript of the video.

Nick Bell: What we’ve really done here is double down on what has made Snapchat great today but simplified it. And I think, you know, you look at it now, there are three screens. As Evan said, you open up the camera, we think that really aids self-expression and it's the kind of blinking cursor of the new mobile age.

On the left-hand side, you have the friend feed and I think what's key here is that the conversation with your best friend was happening on the left-hand side anyway. It’s where you were chatting with your friends but it was slightly awkward because the stories from your friends were appearing on the other side of the camera and therefore you were occasionally missing some of those stories from your best friends. So by creating one page where all of that lives together simplifies it and we think is going to really aid that conversation and the relationship with your friends.

Then on the right-hand side, we now have much more prominent, much more real estate for premium content from our publishers and media partners, which I think is going to be really exciting and is going to aid the discovery of new content for people.

The other thing that it’s done is allowed us to, as Evan said, separate the social from the media because we know the relationship that you have with your friends is very different to the relationship you have with content. And I think what’s happened traditionally with news feeds is those two have been blurred together and the signals that were indicating this content you were seeing was based on your friends.

But what's actually kind of interesting is that although I’ve got great relationships with my friends, my interests are personal to me and not personal to my friend. So just because my friends like skateboarding doesn't mean I like skateboarding. So here, by separating these two aspects out, we think it's a much cleaner solution and we think that actually what's going to happen is we're going to be able to optimize the two experiences. One to focus on relationships and one to focus on interest.

Following is the transcript of the video:

Brian Greene: I’m Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and co-founder of the World Science Festival.

It's critical that you realize that there are two types of time travel, and they are radically different. Time travel to the future? Definitely possible.

We know how to do it because Einstein showed us the way over a hundred years ago. It’s surprising how few people actually really know about this in their bones. He showed that if you go out into space and travel near the speed of light, and you turn around, and you come back, your clock will be ticking off time more slowly. So, when you step off it's going to be the future on planet Earth. You will have time traveled into the future.

He also showed that if you hang out near a nice strong source of gravity — a neutron star, a black hole — and you kind of get right near the edge of that object, time also for you would slow down real slow relative to everybody else. And therefore, when you come back to Earth, for instance, it'll again be far into the future.

This is not controversial stuff. Any physicist who knows what they're talking about agrees with this. But the other kind of time travel — to the past is where the arguments start to happen because many of us don't think that time travel to the past is possible.

The main proposal that people at least consider worthy of attention for traveling to the past does make use of a weird concept called wormholes. A wormhole is something that really … Albert Einstein again discovered. The guy has like got his name written over everything in this field.

It's a bridge, if you will, from one location space to another. It's kind of a tunnel that gives you a shortcut to go from here to here. Now he discovered this in 1935 but it was subsequently realized that if you manipulate the openings of a wormhole — put one near a black hole or take one on a high-speed journey — then time of the two openings of this wormhole tunnel will not take off at the same rate, so that you will no longer just go from one location in space to another, if you go through this tunnel — through this wormhole — you'll go from one moment in time to a different moment in time. Go one way, you'll travel to the past, the other way, travel to the future.

Now again, we don't know if wormholes are real. We don't know if they are real whether you'll be able to go through them. So, there are all sorts of uncertainties here. Most of us think that you're not going to actually go on a whirlwind journey through a wormhole to the past. But it's still not ruled out.
