How can a superconductor have 0 resistance? Is it really 0 or just very small?
How does my oven work?
How does my microwave work?
Why don't solar electric panels trump gasoline and coal?
Why does the earth have a magnetic field?
(Trick question. No one knows. We think there are currents of molten iron inside the earth that carry charges in knotted loops... Why there is any rotation that is out of sync with the surface rotation is a mystery. Viscous drag should have dampened irregularities in the flow so that the entire globe would be spinning at a constant rotation rate by any known model.)
Is it true that everything is radioactive? (yes)
If it's true that everything's radioactive... then what's the big deal with radiation?
Does the fact that the position wave function of every particle that is "me" or "you" or anything occupies the entire universe with a non-zero value mean that we're all connected in a mystical kind of way?

Just throwing you guys a few softballs.. seems like you've lost the spark of curiosity.
2 cameras on tripods. All you need is 1 camera, but it takes a lot longer to shoot it all. The tripod is mandatory.
For setup, each camera outputs to a single screen which blends the images 50/50 so that the cameras can be aligned to view identical images, but on different floors of the stairwell.
Then it's just finding willing participants for the prank, and a clever editor.
There's some other hand-cam work being done there, but the basic premise is the same.
It's MIT, man... too many nerds with access to cool technological shizzle wizzle... and a historical reputation for epic pranks.

Kinda disappointed about the stairs thought they were real.
