Can you swim in shade balls?
August 19th, 2025I bought 10,000 shade balls and tried to swim in them.
They appear to act like a non-Newtonian fluid: rigid under high shear stress, but they flow like a liquid under low shear.

This is the story of the Cover up at Hueyatlaco. Possibly the biggest archeological cover up in the history of the world. Have humans ALWAYS been in the Americas? If the archeology and geology that was done at Hueyatlaco is correct, then history would change forever. The dates of some of the artifacts were ranging between 250,000 and 800,000 years old!

Note: I had to cancel the Colombia tour! I am going to try to get it set up again in the future.

In 1987, Steven Weinberg wrote a cute little paper entitled “Anthropic Bound on the Cosmological Constant”. I say cute little paper because it feels minor in comparison to, say, electroweak unification theory that won him the Nobel Prize. Weinberg was foundational in establishing the standard model of particle physics, and represented an enormous leap in understanding how this universe works. But his little 1987 paper, though more obscure, may tell us something about how the multiverse works, and can even be thought of as evidence for the existence of an enormous number of other universes.

Rods from God.
This is the nickname for a theoretical space weapon, in which large rods of tungsten would be dropped onto Earth based targets.
The idea behind this weapon is that the projectiles would build up enough speed, and thus kinetic energy, which would cause bomb-like destruction on the ground below.
The concept was devised during the Cold War but has faced heavy criticism both logistically and scientifically.
However, it has certainly made its mark on science fiction, both appearing in and being referenced across many media, from TV to video games.
But could it work in practice?
We tested to find out.

I worked at Tesla starting from 2017 thru 2021. I spent most of my time in the distribution and supply chain organizations in leadership positions.
Before Tesla, I was a Director of Business Intelligence and Pricing at the largest Pet Food & Supply distributor in the US, Phillips Pet Food & Supplies. My wife and I also owned a small business in Bethlehem, PA between 2016 and 2019.
I have been a shareholder of Tesla since 2012 and currently own Tesla stock. Nothing I say constitutes as investment or financial advice.
My thoughts are my own and are not representative of everyone who currently works, or has worked at Tesla, Phillips, or any other company or organization I discuss on this channel.

The multiverse pops out of quite a few theories in physics, and has been proposed as a solution to certain vexing problems. But it’s also been argued that the very idea of a multiverse is just bad science. That it’s unfalsifiable and a dead-end to inquiry and as bad a violation of Occam’s razor as you could imagine. But the multiverse might also exist. Can something that exists be bad science?
