If you ever meet someone who turns the TV all the way down before they they hit OFF, congratulations! You've met someone who used to wake up at 3am to play PS2 before school 😉🤫🧠

@mcuban.bsky.social I've created this chart that I believe accurately describes and predicts the phenomenon we are seeing...

"This report shows that NIH funding contributed to published research associated with every one of the 210 new drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration from 2010–2016."

Some things are worth funding.

I can't help but wonder how NASA will look in 10 years. Will it even exist?

JWST has captured images of 4 exoplanets over 130 light years away. This should be plastered on every news station. What are they talking about today instead?

At a wedding right now considering the following: without a microscope and a degree, it's very hard to tell if a diamond was created through natural processes or in a lab. Lab-grown diamonds are just significantly cheaper and don't rely on exploited labor (as of now). Which makes more sense?

Evolution appears to give way to more complex and organized systems. Doesn't this violate the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics?

No! Entropy must trend towards greater disorganization and "chaos" in closed systems. On Earth, we have constant energy exchanges between celestial objects and from the planet.

This is one of the most widely misunderstood and misrepresented bits of science. Your consciousness is irrelevant; a robot would get the same results. As we come into the quantum age, this will become more and more relevant.

Biologists studying the skin of sharks found that microscopic ridges reduced drag in water. This discovery led to advanced aircraft designs (and better swimsuits). Expanding our knowledge is never a bad thing, no matter how ridiculous the research may seem at first.

Still waiting for a flat Earth model that can explain a 24-hr sun in Antarctica.

Due to the relativity of time, a stable wormhole between two distant points in our galaxy would effectively create a time machine. The moment the connection is made, time between the two points falls out of sync.
