Imagine sailing for months and having NO IDEA where you are East or West! We break down the Longitude problem and the mystery of the phantom island found all over old maps.

These Islands DON'T EXIST
Did you know maps—even Google Maps!—used to be filled with landmasses that don't exist? They're called Phantom Islands, and they reveal one of the biggest problems early explorers faced: Longitude. In this video, we dive into the incredible reason explorers like Captain Cook couldn't tell where they were East or West, why maps were so inaccurate for centuries, and how one tiny invention (the chronometer) changed everything. We break down the curious case of Sandy Island, charted in 1774 and appearing on maps for over 200 years... until scientists sailed right over its supposed location in 2012 and found nothing but deep ocean!

Pence: "State ownership of business is very common in China & Russia. Taking a percentage of sales of Nvidia, taking a percentage of stock of Intel is inconsistent w/ free market principles, and I think it's taken our country to a very perilous place and I think we need to resist that very strongly"

The ancient Greeks repeatedly called the sea "winedark." It's not just a poetic choice, it's because the they may not have had a word for blue. Fascinating study of language and how we perceive the world.

The ancient Greeks didn't have a word for blue. So, they described the sea as “winedark.” This isn't just poetic; it reveals a fascinating quirk of language and perception. Dive into this mind-bending concept with me!

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions.

Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

In the meantime here's a fun explainer I threw together about a story that's been in my head ever since I first heard about it years ago.
