What wonders has the boy genius created behind the bolted door where impossible things may happen?
I wonder if Neil deGrasse Tyson will ever target his fun-sapping Twitter assessments on Dexter’s Laboratory. Cartoon Network’s boy genius, star of the very first of their Cartoon Cartoons, loved to talk a big game about math and science, but there’s almost none of the real stuff to be found in his show. Dexter’s Lab was pure animation, with all its willingness to leave natural laws behind in the name of cartoon shenanigans.
Its appearance in “Lab of the Lost” showed one of Dexter’s many flaws in the way he goes about his work: he’s barely finished one invention before moving on to his next greatest work, leaving all his past creations to rot. Being a cartoon character in a floating timeline and no serialization, it wasn’t an insight Dexter carried forward, and his first invention never appeared again – but for one seven-minute segment, he saw the error of his ways and grew sentimental over his early work.
7. Dream Machine One of those inventions that carried an entire segment, the Dream Machine even lent its name to the cartoon it featured in. It also gets one of the most dramatic introductions of any of Dexter’s inventions in the series, impressing even Dee Dee. Looking a bit like a giant telescope with a brain-patterned grid instead of a lens, this lunar-powered device monitors the dreams of a sleeping subject and tries to keep them regulated on the pleasant side.
4. Dex-Transformer The Dex-Transformer is one of the most iconic and oft-used inventions of the series. It was originally borne of desperation; with the substitute gym teacher rejecting his excuse slips and subjecting the class to never-ending subjugation by bullies, Dexter needed some way to survive in “Dexter Dodgeball.” The robot suit did its job against its intended targets, but it couldn’t stop Dexter from being tagged out by someone else .

Modeling Earth's magnetosphere in the laboratoryA magnetosphere forms around any magnetized object, such as a planet, that is immersed within a stream of ionized gas, called plasma. Because Earth possesses an intrinsic magnetic field, the planet is surrounded by a large magnetosphere that extends out into space, blocks lethal cosmic rays and particles from the sun and stars, and allows life itself to exist.
