    Science and Futurism

    I've been following the SNC and it seems they are deep into the government / commercial R&D at the moment. Boeing is the largest government contractor in the world though and I can only assume their technology and resources are ahead of SNC. I've worked with SNC on small programs when I was...

    Again, thanks for introducing this. That first video is powerful. I'm glad you provided that article as well, because after seeing that at work with a combat boot I thought to myself (holy shit, if you can fit these in your ruck sack, imagine how much more lethal it would make our ground...

    @Wolfy Watching them now. It's fascinating how this innovation is flamed by a deep passion to better the world in such a profound way. And to think, the first video was recorded back in 2014. This is awesome.

    Before I go on some sort of google spree, any videos you recommend first that might give me a short summary of where were at these days?

    Science and Futurism

    This is the realm of thought for over thinkers. Over think away then let other people bring you back to the empirical world and show you why you're wrong. This way, next time you theorize you have a better understand of what exactly it is you are thinking about. Science is fun.

    Outstanding video. It's good to think about these things and realize the role your mind plays in observing the universe. It's why we try to keep things empirical and objective. Critical Analysis and the Scientific method are paramount in being an observer.

    Science and Futurism

    This is something I am familiar with. When discussing newer technologies and theories I'll post a couple links to the fundamentals behind which I speak so we can postulate the existence of time manipulation devices. Casimir Effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect#Applications...

    Science and Futurism

    My excitement for the James Webb Space Telescope can best be explained by this recent picture from Hubble. It shows what they call an "embryonic galaxy" and it looks like a feint blob of red light. The JWST is a purely Infrared based system due to the nature of light and how it travels through...

    Look at this. Really think about how big you are in comparison to the planet you are on (or disc for you flat earthers) and then look at this picture. This is what that giant bright light in the sky we see during the day (sorry U.K I wish I could explain what the sun feels like but I'm not a...

    Science and Futurism

    Yet. We mold the universe to the human mind, which so far has left us wondering what the hell the other 95% of the universe is made of. I use 95% as an arbitrary number I hear frequently when talking about matter and antimatter so don't focus on the number so much as opposed to the principal...

    Is Kingdom Come Deliverance racist?

    Last video, I promise. I want to present information that's more unbiased than not (pretty hard, go figure). Think of it as Cliff notes to the root subject of the article and the reaction to it.

    Is Kingdom Come Deliverance racist?

    I inadvertently became a racist by playing this game. This game allows for my unchecked white male privilege to run wild. What Kind of monstrous playground have Warhorse Studios created? This is madness. /s (it's sad that I genuinely feel I need to add the /s )

    Calling all Devs > Citizens of the Stars

    Ha! It's funny you say that because although I love it, I actually melted mine. I couldn't quite justify owning one so I figured I'll try to obtain one in game. Even if it ends up as a trophy in my hangar, I'll find a way to get one :)

    Science and Futurism

    I was going to say trillions, because that would be up to date with our current findings. However, I have a hard time trying to comprehend even a billion galaxies. How often to we really use numbers in the billions for our day to day lives? I mean we get some awesome Trump memes out of it and...

    Science and Futurism

    The first video is an excellent representation of our solar system to scale, putting into perspective for those having a hard time really understanding the vast distances involved with traveling in our own neighborhood. Fusion power is absolutely promising, because like you said, a single...
