Static on polystyrene cups. Polystyrene is a really good insulator, meaning it quickly builds up an electrical charge!

"Supersonic baseball"

This ball became the projectile of a homemade cannon, thanks to which it was able to develop tremendous speed. As a result, it crashed into a metal plate and was torn into small fibers ⚾️

The Dzhanibekov Effect

On June 25, 1985, Vladimir Dzhanibekov was at the Salyut-7 station. He dropped a nut and bolt. Vladimir started watching it. The nut was hanging in zero gravity and slowly rotated around its axis. And suddenly it flipped 180 degrees - abruptly, with a jolt. The astronaut could not believe his eyes. But a few minutes later the nut jerked its orientation again. That's how the Dzhanibekov effect was discovered.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his husband are funding the creation of genetically engineered babies

By merging AI with CRISPR, they aim to “fix” humans while offshoring early embryo testing to evade oversight.

Would y’all agree to edit your child using Sam's tool? 🤔

Adelson's illusion

Demonstrates the subjectivity of our perception quite vividly. We can understand with our minds that the squares are the same, we can measure their sameness with an instrument, but we perceive them, nevertheless, as different. That is, we "clearly" see something that does not really exist.

Elon Musk:

I see poverty as more of an engineering problem than an unsolvable social issue. With Grok and Optimus, we could solve the labor shortage, drive costs to near zero, and create a future where poverty is statistically irrelevant.

The scale of whats coming over the next decade is really easy to underestimate.

Agility has announced a major milestone: Digit robot has moved over 100k totes in live operations at GXO Logistics’ facility.

This comes just days after Figure's CEO predicted Agility's bankruptcy within 12 months, and one day after Figure announced 90k parts loaded at BMW.

Elon Musk: In the future, there won't be operating systems or apps.

“In the future, there won't be operating systems or apps. It'll just be a device that is there for the screen and audio and to put as much AI on the device as possible to minimize the amount of bandwidth that's needed between your edge node device, formerly known as a phone, and the servers.

You'll get everything through AI. Whatever you can think of, or really whatever the AI can anticipate you might want, it'll show you. That's my prediction for where things end up, in probably five or six years.”
