Exploring Large Scientific Experiments

The video discusses large scientific experiments, including NEPTUNE, the National Ignition Facility (NIF), and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). NEPTUNE is an undersea network for ocean research, while NIF aims to achieve nuclear fusion. LISA is a proposed space-based observatory for detecting gravitational waves. The video also mentions SciShow's website update using Squarespace.
