Yup, another hyperloop company is building a prototype barely bigger than the actual pod. But the thing thats stunning here is the media circus that went with the big pod reveal.

So its always bugged the hell out of me why a kettle makes most noise before it boils, then becomes almost silent when it actually boils. However when you get a high speed camera on it, it becomes very obvious very quickly! The noise is actually made by the collapse of steam bubbles in colder water. At about 70 C you have the most number of these bubbles collapsing. As the temperature of the water gets higher, the steam in the bubbles doesnt condense as well, meaning the bubbles have a longer lifetime.

The Doolittle raid is a remarkable event of WW2. Its widely seen as a victory for the US, even though every plane that took place in the raid was lost. The cost of the raid was obscene. 2 aircraft carriers, 4 cruisers, 8 destroyers, sailed across the Pacific for 2 weeks, all to deliver 16 bombers (all lost) and drop 16 tons of bombs on Japan. Its like shooting people with gold bullets! However, fundamentally, it was the Doolittle raid that set into motion the cogs that would change the entire course of WW2! support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t or visit my amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thunderf00t

There arnt many fossils of eyes, for the simple reason eyes are soft tissue, and that rarely fossilises. Interestingly though the trilobites eyes were made of stone, calcite to be exact, so there are many examples of fossilised trilobite eyes. You can get a trilobite fossil with amazing eye detail on ebay for about 50USD. From looking around, the trilobites from Morocco seemed the best to me. It was long thought that the calcite eye disappeared with the trilobites until it was recently discovered that brittle stars have many calcite 'eyes' all over their exoskeleton. Although it should be said theses 'eyes' are tiny! You can support this channel directly at: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Its gotta be a bitter pill to swallow when you claim defiantly your solar roadway panels will melt snow, which is better than plowing, when the snow plows cleared the road by the time the storm had passed, and almost a week later, your heated solar panels are so covered in snow that you have to go and shovel the snow off them. Kudos to Steve here: https://twitter.com/BookSwapSteve/status/949369240435470336 And in a strange double whammy, the Chinese solar roadway was firstly stolen, and then closed due to damage, all within 5 days of opening.

Solar roadways promised almost everything... they would stay up for you when you got home late at night, they would take out the trash and cry when you got split ends. However in the end, after about 2mn dollars of government money, and 2mn dollars from an indiegogo campaign, they delivered on basically nothing. Their installation current generates no energy because its covered in snow, but even if it wasnt it would be generating about 1 cent of electricity per day! Even when it was at its prime, in the middle of summer it generated about 1/10th the power it would have if those solar panels had been put in a normal rooftop installation. Even professionally done versions of this concept are simply non-starters, like the Colas wattway. The Chinese also recently announced they had built something similar.

Elon Musk has a GREAT idea.... why not use a space craft designed for going to mars for transporting people around Earth! Actually, its a profoundly stupid idea on almost every level. Firstly even the best rockets have a lousy track record compared to planes. If only one rocket in a hundred blows up its considered VERY good. Meanwhile if one plane in a million crashes, its considered a poor safety record. Secondly rockets are mind blowingly expensive. You can get an estimate of a ticket on a rocket like this as somewhere between 100 000- 500 000 USD. Its difficult to see that ever being competitive with plane flight which will cost ~1000 USD. Elon Musk however doesnt seem to have a problem saying it will only cost about the same as a plane ticket. -support independent, scientifically literate media like this: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t or visit my amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thunderf00t

Its often depressing to read 'science' news coverage of things like the hyperloop. If you did you would get an almost universal impression that a pod going 200mph in the hyperloop was a great advance, and had made the reality of the hyperloop MUCH closer. In reality of course, its no such thing. It was a VERY small electric car designed for a speed run, that would have gone almost exactly the same speed with or without the hyperloop tube. It had NOTHING to do with a building a pod. Not really what you would get from the wall to wall press coverage. In the meanwhile, the two entries that MIGHT be classed as useful to the hyperloop (one running on air skies, and one on magnets) managed to go ~60mph while being pushed, and 30 mph under its own power respectively. Again neither of these gained anything from being in a 'hyperloop'. In this sense... the hyperloop is looking more and more like solar roadways. Its promises, promises, promises... meanwhile whats delivered is a farce compared to what was promised. -support independent, scientifically literate media like this: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

If your gonna shell out 12 million dollars for a tube..... check whether it will RUST first! The hyperloop is less than a year old, and its rusting everywhere on the outside. On the inside its completely covered with rust. There arent many ways you can actually screw up a vacuum tube, but not only is the inside of the hyperloop completely rusted up, they also managed to paint over the o-rings in the viewing port. I actually also had a chat with one of the hyperloop engineers. To be fair he only worked on the pusher, but he had never really thought about the viability of the project as a whole. He was a nice guy and let me have quite a poke around on the pusher and tube. Nonetheless he hadnt even considered the expansion issue. For me when I got the thermal camera inside the tube... I took one look and 'QED' when I saw the temperature differential between the top and bottom of the tube. He just had a blank expression of 'so what?' What they did get right is the thickness of the tube. The walls are about 2-3cm thick (~1inch). It would make a convincing gun barrel, and feels like it would contain anything that went wrong in the tube. The exception in the end of the tube. There Im not so sure.

Yes a 'go to dr dino dot com' creationist did turn up and start preaching at people during the eclipse. Other than that, I chose the site about Casper WY about 3 weeks ago just to see if you could see the moons shadow moving. Eclipses are a difficult subject to record. There is a huge range of contrasts meaning leaving the camera on auto expose is going to go wrong. Similarly you have to turn auto focus off. I did that with mine, but nudged the focus during totality.... which is why its out of focus :-( In the end, I had one fixed wide angle running, One whole sky timelapse one distant angle timelapse one videoing the sun in the H-alpha and a handheld camera to point at stuff...

I got LOTS of infrared footage in Yellowstone.... a lot of it is incredible. Sadly... more sophisticated editing on a laptop... living out of the back of a car is all but impossible. Yup I've been to solar roadways....thats such a LULZ-fest... I've included some teasers on this.

Honestly to me Casper looks pretty good. The dinosaur museum there (the Tate museum) is small, but pretty fun! Anywhere across the plains to Riverton is also great. Pine mountain also looked pretty good, but the access roads are hard unless you are familiar with the terrain. Its also incredibly remote. Too remote for my tastes as one guy with a rental vehicle! The Tetons has a lot of potential, but honestly its going to be CRAZY busy. Its busy enough today, and thats a nothing special day. They are expecting 100 000 plus extra visitors for the eclipse. Even though Signal Mountain and Black Tail butte offer excellent sites for watching the moons shadow cross some spectacular places, it looks like it will be nightmarishly busy. Also... weather might be more flakey in the Tetons. They tend to have clear mornings, and cloudy afternoons. Early clouds would spell doom for eclipse watcher! :-( That being said, there is always risk with watching an eclipse.... one stray cloud is all it takes! Gonna check out Idaho and Oregon next, but I think Im pretty much settled on Casper. Its actually been a pretty brutal few days. These places are hundreds of miles apart.... plus having to do all this just after getting off the plane... ouch! ..... given the circumstances under which this video was made... .please forgive me if the editing not as smooth as other videos :-)

Whenever I do a video on the hyperloop, I get the wailing of a thousand nerds who just dont want to accept that the whole idea is bullshit. Thats even after its been explained to them that Elon Musk did not invent the hyperloop, but the idea is over 100 years old. ... its also amazing how the same pointless criticisms come up again and again. Most notably 'its only a reduced pressure'. No, if you were exposed to the 'reduced pressure' of the hyperloop, and that of space, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference... because the hyperloop is 99.9% of a total vacuum!

The first model hyperloop (vacuum train) was built about the same time as the first powered flight. However there is a very good reason why the hyperloop as never been built..... The problems with building a 600 mile/km long tube havent changed that much in the last 100 years!!! Its just really REALLY difficult and expensive to do. This is why no one yet has built a sensible test track, let alone moved on to practical problems like how do you get capsules in and out of the hyperloop! I wont be adding this to the patreon supported stream, however if you want to support this channel directly: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t one slight correction....calculating the energy of the capsule. The velocity should be ~300, not 1000m/s. This makes about an order of magnitude difference in the energy of the capsule. It would have about the same energy as 200kg of TNT, not 2 tons. Not that it affects the conclusions in any way, but its still a mistake.

Just randomly started thinking about this this morning.... how much oxygen is there in the entire human body.... as O2? Turns out, NOT MUCH! You have about 5L of blood. This is about 30 % by weight of hemoglobin. A hemoglobin monomer weights about 16000 and binds a single oxygen weighing 32. This means 1L of blood contains about 300g hemoglobin, binding about 0.6g of oxygen! In your entire blood supply there is probably no more than 3.5g of oxygen. Thats a fine delicate wire to hang your entire life by!.... remember... the trick is to keep breathing! Just a fun little calculation this morning so I wont be adding to the patreon feed.

Theres a simple mass balance to losing weight. You have to expend more energy than you consume. If you do that, you will lose weight. After that your options become: 1) more exercise 2) consume less. Some back of the envelope calculations show that you have to do quite a lot of exercise to burn off 30 % extra calories (while eating the same amount). Great for keeping you fit of course, but a hard way to lose weight. Eating less is less time consuming but of course means you have to deal with the hunger. After the first week however your body adapts to the new norm and things get a lot easier. I thought I would share my experiences here. Yes its hard, but in many ways its like climbing a mountain.

Mystical BS like this drives me crazy! Living without eating? Really? Looks its this simple, you breathe in oxygen, and breathe out carbon dioxide.

Im not paid by these folks in any way. Quick summary is pricey, but gets the job done! The device is called a 'labquest2' https://www.vernier.com/products/interfaces/labq2/ its kinda a stand alone version of the pi but but is a lot more user friendly. It will datalog up to 4 detectors at the time. it can also be used with a good range of detectors (which was the main selling point for me) https://www.vernier.com/products/sensors/ They are all pricey, but the functionality is pretty good. I looked at a whole range of gas detectors before settling on this one. Most were related to flue gas or exhaust testing. Most dont 'measure' everything, they will detect oxygen, and calculated CO2 from the O2 drop. For me I wanted direct measures of CO2 and O2, so the vernier worked out okay. The response time on the CO2 detector is lousy (minutes). Accurate calibration was also not straight forward. It just assumes background is 400ppm for air. If however its not (bear in mind the meter takes 15 mins to equilibrate), thats essentially the % error on the other measurements. I found the best way for accurate measurements was simply to create your own CO2 standards and do your own calibration. The O2 meter is fast responding, but requires its own care (needs to be kept upright). I had some dealings with their customer support about the functionality of their detectors. They responded quickly and in detail. I wanted to know if I could use their ethanol meter to measure my blood alcohol by exhaled breath. They gave me the honest answer which was 'kinda' but they were fuzzy on the details about the response of the meter to different humidities and temperatures. That still shows they are aware of the limits of their machines and are not simply BS 'ours is the best' salesmen.

Amazingly, Fontus, the 'self-filling water bottle' just wants to keep going. Initially I demonstrated that what they were promising simply wasnt possible.... thermodynamically. Now they seem to have taken that on board, increased the solar panel size by 10, and reduced the promised water collection by 10. Their promises are now realistic, but are now basically exactly those of a cheap pelitier dehumidifier. Read about it in their update: http://www.fontus.at/fontus-update.pdf Off the mains it can under IDEAL hot and humid conditions, maybe get a couple of liters per day. Running off a 100 watt solar panel they can maybe get 1 liter of water per day. Thats 1/3rd of your daily requirement. Ontop of that water from the air tends to pick up all sorts of nasty volatile organic crap from the air, and the trap just tends to be a place to cultivate bacteria.

I didnt even realize it was Earth day till this morning.... after that I made a REAL effort to get the video finished today!

Yup, you can see their power generation directly here: https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/pv/public_systems/V3vh1173801 I took a lot of grief when I first put up the solar roadways video, how I just wasnt being open minded enough. Well now the numbers are in on their first installation, and guess what... its pathetic. On a good day it generates about 1kw hr of electricity. Thats about 10cents worth. On a bad day its about 1/3rd of that. Now in my original busted video, I hit on 3 key points. 1) flat solar is dumb 2) led cant be seen and will use too much power 3) glass is a fundamentally unsuitable material for building roads from. Dave from EEVblogs came to similar conclusions. https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog Each one of those on its own is fatal to this project. So far its clear I was right on 1 and 2. 3 hasnt even been put to the test yet! but when it is, you can rest assured they will find, GLASS IS A FUNDAMENTALLY UNSUITABLE MATERIAL FOR BUILDING ROADS FROM!... grrrr If you like this channel and want to support it directly: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Only a couple of times in my life have I had such a profound experience. I've been wandering around today in a daze because of this. It just completely blew my mind. This was the telescope that did it! https://amzn.to/2WOlW30 (amazon affiliates link). The baby telescope is the one I took to see the transit of Venus: https://amzn.to/2WW846W

Youtube vs The Mains Stream Media. So many people suggesting a conspiracy is afoot. Im not so sure you need one though. The mains stream media has been becoming more and more click-baitey over the last few years. Honestly the stories from the Daily Mail are run of the mill click bait. Its pretty hard to see this as some great attack on youtube. Similarly so with the Wall Street Journal. Their pewdiepie stuff was just comically bad reporting, and the same with their youtube ads piece. But is that a conspiracy or just some guy who works out that provoking youtubers is a great way to get clicks? I dont put soft commentary like this in the Patreon supported feed, but if you want to support me directly... thats the way to do it! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

An article by the Wall Street Journal caused almost a billion dollars of advertising to be withdrawn from youtube. Apparently they found ads for things like coke along side offensive material! However the article doesnt so much show youtube advertises coke along side offensive material, but the WSJ doesnt understand how targeted ads work. The thing that makes even less sense is the stampede of companies who withdrew almost a billion dollars in advertising from youtube. Youtubes response has also been wierd! Honestly I've been left very baffled by all of this. It seems like a cascade of people with ill-informed, knee-jerk responses all doing stupid things at the same time. Coherent patterns are very hard to find here. You can support this channel directly though Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

It was all over the news this week. Architect wants to hang skyscraper from asteroid. I could have just gone on and on and on on this one theres so much wrong with it! It was wall to wall... report now, think later out there! http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/29/living/analemma-tower-orbiting-skyscraper-trnd/index.html this went all the way from the main stream media to complete cranks. Seriously, some guy I came across was touting this as 'end times stuff' as it would finally prove the earth wasnt round! Videos judged by youtube as not eligible for monetization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HOgkzZc4Co https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie2-12sSyKI These just had me completely scratching my head as to how these could cross any of youtubes lines!

I'd really forgotten how cool the sun looks in the H-alpha wavelength. I was going to be finishing the video on floating skyscrapers which loads of people sent me today. But its tough to debunk such a stupid idea on aprils fools day.... so I got out the solar telescope. In this case I was using a 40mm coronado telescope. However I've ordered a semi-professional instrument for the eclipse this year in the america. Here I was just pointing a camera into the eyepiece. Theres plenty of room for improvement there too.

A LOTTA people said in the last video they found the glass blowing fascinating. In many ways more fascinating than the burning diamond.

My diamond is now in the air, contributing to global warming! On the bright side, I had grave doubts that what I bought off ebay for ~15 bux was nothing more than cubic zirconia. However the fact the diamond burned so beautifully shows VERY definitively that this was indeed a real diamond. I've now ordered some more of these diamonds, cos theres quite a lot of fun stuff you can do with diamond :-) If you like this video, and would like to see more like it, you can support this channel directly through Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t and for those who notices the titles seemed to have gotten a LOT better recently. Yup, just blew $600 on Boris Continuum pluggins for Sony Vegas. Expensive.... hard learning curve, but even with my currently entry level skills it looks a damn sight better than what I could do previously!

Kinda what it says in the title! A little guide for the eye.... density diamond ~3.5g/cm3 density mercury ~14g/ cm3 How high it floats is actually partially a combination of surface tension and density.

YYEEEEAWWWW!!!! IT WORKS!!!!! Even though Im not adding this video to the Patreon supported stream, if you want to help this channel, it'd be great to have you among my supporters! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t A little more on the details: to cool down 1 liter of water by 1 degree takes ~4kJ to boil 1 liter takes ~ 2000kJ It takes ~ 500x as much energy to heat water up by 1 degree as boil it. Same is true in reverse! So it took my self cooling water bottle ~ 0.5hrs to cool down by ~ 1 degree, meaning it would take 500 times that long to condense a similar amount of water. 250 hrs.... or about 10 days!... for half a liter of water... or 2 weeks for 1 liter. That assumes FULL sunlight, 24hrs a day and 100% humidity. 1 liter in 2 weeks! daily water requirements for and adult are ~3 liters per day.

YES its actually works! Sadly its not -quite- yet self-cooling.... but for that I need a sunny day.... and we've not had one for a while :-( I'll update when we get one!

If I wanted to be rich (instead of being a scientist) it would be SOOOO much easier, especially if I didnt care about predating on people ignorance. It does however get depressing sometimes seing someone trot out a clearly stupid idea (like fontus), get $300 000 of crowd funder money, and design awards. They then proceeded to work out that I was right all along, and eventually reinvent a very VERY poor ripoff of a commercial peltier dehumidifier. .... and now... after all that..... they've just won a 'top 4 Austrian startup' award. Words just kinda fail me at this point. This video supported by donations on patreon, which for me is honestly a silver lining for this cloud. At least there are people out there who will support this kind of work! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Just some fun with the high speed camera and a few liquids. In this case acetone has the lowest surface tension (~25mN/m), water is up at about 70, and mercury is over 400!

One of the saddest things to come out of this is just how many people were willing to defend such indefensible comments because 'he was on our side'. The whole thing really did have flashbacks of people who had done some messed up stuff sheltered in the SJW community. Why everyone turned on Milo did seem like they had all been looking for a reason to distance themselves from him for a while. Took Breitbart only a couple of days of considering whether to fire him before he quit. The press conference was weird though. People who insist they've been quote mined dont usually apologise, then quit. FYI the TLDR Harmful Opinions stream that sums up a lot of my feelings of late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt41OxkAq7s

It staggers me that a man can talk this much crap, and still have a 40% approval rating. A lot of it, as the fox reporter here mentions, is just factually wrong, made up bullshit. Some of this stuff it harmless enough. But the man is obsessed with crowd sizes, and claiming he has the biggest, even when his OWN PICTURES show this is not the case. My personal guess is that those who deal with national security on a professional basis have worked out that Trump is just not up to the job and an utter liability. Few have an interest in trying to defend the indefensible. It genuinely painful going through Trump videos because of the sheer density with which he spouts out bullshit.

So they are going to make roads out of plastic.... they will last 3 times longer.... will handle cables and water... AND be made out of recycled material!! Kinda like solar roadways, just without the solar panels!.. and now it has some 60 million hits on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/GIGadgets.Fans/videos/1297009613711658/ Their FAQ page is far more realistic where they basically say they dont even know if its possible or not. Makes you wonder why they described it as 'a revolution in road construction'! https://www.plasticroad.eu/en/ So the IMPLICATION is they are going to use polyethylene terephthalate, which is a great polymer. It's used to make soda bottles. However its just WAY too soft to make a road out of. Could they make a composite material? Well maybe. Naturally it will cost more. If its fiber reinforced, you sensibly lose the ability the recycle the material. If its going to use rock to make a composite, then its basically indistinguishable from regular blacktop, with the exception it uses polymeric crap as the binder rather than bitumen. Hardly a revolution. People have been adding all sorts of extras to roadsurfaces for years. Most notably ground up waste tires worked quite well. Shoulda put that in the video really..... Anyways, then you go and read their FAQ, and you realize that this is more things that they hope will be true, rather than the things they claim ARE true in their video, like 'this will be a revolution in road construction'. That BS has now been seen by over 60 million people! -great! Many thanks to all those who support this channel through patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Watching this on the high speed camera, I really have to remind myself that this is not special effects... but REALITY!!! Its a hell of a fireworks show! Its a single french fry in an oxygen tank (~40L). I also added an oxygen pipe to help with the gas flow. Ignition was done with the guts of a stripped plasma ball. I used an oxygen generator for the atmosphere. High speed filming was done with a phantom v611 at 5000fps. EVERYTHING LOOKS SO COOL WITH THIS CAMERA :-D Many thanks to all those who support this channel through patreon..... although I wont be adding this videos.... cos yknow its just burning a french fry! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t thx to youtube for the CC music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEq0yYL4UHc end music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN6bpTOIMFc

Its difficult to get exact numbers, but it looks like the winning team for Elon Musks Hyperloop competition managed to go maybe 50 meters. The top speed was about 60mph (90ish kph)... just a little short of the 600mph promised! And this is the SECOND LARGEST vacuum chamber in the world! Further rather than the promised Los Angles to San Francisco in 30 minutes, it takes that long just to get into the HYPERloop. Its kind of obvious in many ways, if you really wanted to take such an idea to the hoop, you wouldnt be leaving this in the hands of college students. I hear a lot of promises from hyperloop, but the results fall just a little short of what was promised!

Sometimes science can be expensive!!! I frequent deal with stable isotopes which can happily reach tens of thousands of dollars per gram. In this case ~$70 000 per gram for 41K. In this case I only had about 1/3rd of a gram. Now it might seem like a lot, but bear in mind this is not really something you can sell. The market for 41K in the entire world is almost nothing. Indeed the only thing that gives it value is it costs so much to make it. Thankfully, this stuff did good work! We got some of the best measurements on the hydration of potassium in the world!! Indeed they were good enough to highlight some of the previous knowledge about 41K, to the point where I had to bring this sample out of retirement and send it back to the reactor to check the properties of the nucleus.

Plus a whole new revolutionary technique revealed!!! Sockomotherapy! Sockomotherapy is here scientifically proven to be just as effective as energy healing in 'curing' neck inflammation. What blows my mind is a thermal camera like the one they have in this video costs ~$10k. Can they really have blown that much on a camera and not worked out that if you take your clothes off you cool down? Either way, props to Psy-techs 'subtle energy laboratory' for providing the rigorous pseudoscientific analysis that enable me to show sockomotherapy is at least as effective as energy healing.

So I've been putting the new high speed camera through its paces.... For a long time I've enjoyed tormenting students with water in a vacuum tube. It makes a chinking sound... but why? Now for me.... you gotta bear in mind Ive been working with vacuums for over 20 years..... to me this is like watching the sun rise and seeing the earth spinning. But its always fascinating to see people reaction to this. Maybe I should do a react video on it! :-) Many thanks to all those who support this channel through Patreon and made this video possible. https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Honestly... I would have let this one go had there not been soooo many folks who came out with the 'but its technically correct' excuse for Lauren Southern calling a bunch of anarchists representative of 'anti trump' So here Im just wondering if a little role reversal will help these folks see the light. What if I took the 2013 anarchist protest of the Obama inauguration.... where they smash windows, atm machines.... let off fireworks in the street etc... and say 'this is representative of anti obama? Would these munchkins be okay with that?

We live in a weird world where folks are so disenchanted with the 'main stream media' that they turn to 'alternative media'.... because thats gotta be trust worthy right? Well this is maybe one of the most annoying examples of that ever. This is alt-right 'journalist' Lauren Southern, who follows around an anarchist protest, complete with anarchist flags, and black block.... only to report this as 'this is what the anti-trump movement looks like'. Really? this is journalism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO2H_yT9A0U

I gotta be honest.... I've been making videos on youtube for over 10 years now, and this still was one of the most fun videos to make! Can you melt Pure Gold using only a gummy bear and oxygen? Well for certain the energy is there. My back of an evelope calculations confirmed one of the previous commenters that a single 2g gummy bear released enough energy on burning to melt ~100g of gold! However, just because the energy is there in practice, doesnt mean that energy is going to go where you want it to! I really cant thank enough the people who have supported me on Patreon as they really do make stuff like this possible! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

..... I know there will be those who poopoo the idea of using some pretty high spec cameras to film a gummy bear burning in oxygen.... but those people just have no sense of fun! :-) It burns INCREDIBLY brightly.... I was using the arc welding mask on this, cos otherwise it was giving me sun spots! So I wont be adding this one to the patreon feed, cos it was just some fun.... however Im about to try to melt gold using a gummy bear!!... if that one works out I will be adding it to the patreon supported videos!

Gotta be honest.... part of me is tempted to FULLY hoist Professor Moriarty on his own petard! The rest of me says..... I've to some top range science kit that SCREAMING to have some cool stuff with it! The Philip Moriarty- Bearing stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6wNW9AkRmQ

Professor Philip Moriarty (as he reminds us constantly) is a professor of physics! He's also.... and this is the bit thats hard to believe, a hardcore social justice warrior. Me and the Professor go way back to when he was defending the feminists lynching the Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt. Turns out it was all based on feminist lies. In that conversation I tried to get the Professor to understand that men and women are different parts of a sexually dimorphic species. I tried to explain this in simple examples he might be able to grasp, like the fact that no woman has ever run less than 10 seconds in the 100m, and that this was not because women didnt want to run faster, or because theyd been conditioned to run slower than men, but they simply couldnt run that fast. He would at times simply agree to simple demonstrations that we are a sexually dimorphic species, then ask me what the evidence was for that which he had just accepted. So some time later he started emailing me for a debate. I told him I was just crazy busy (I was.... 5 international trips in 6 months, as well as producing videos.....thats almost impossibly busy). Phil just ignored all that and kept writing me jerky emails.... so I did what I would do to anyone who'd been given more than a fair chance, I trolled him. It was remarkably easy to do too! Indeed, even when I just took pity on him, cos it was clear he wasnt getting it, he still went around calling this 'a debate'. Anyways, I let him have his fun, cos at the time, I had bigger fish to fry. I was however surprised when in the new year I thought Id see what he'd been up too, and found he had deleted everything. The last video I could find of his, merely days before he deleted his account, in that vid he said his new years resolution was to spend less time online. There were also rumours abound that his family had been threatened following the Bearing doxxing. IF true, thats royally jerky. That being said, he may just have been looking for an excuse to get out, and for it to not look bad. Further, it would be ironic if true, because he was the one who advocated so hard to strip anonymity from others. I wonder how he feels about that now?!

So fascinated by how hot the bees were in winter, I went back and took a closer look! Turns out their thorax is a hot summer temperature of ~30C, their head is about 25 C, and their abdomen is a relatively chilly 15 C. This was all while it was ~0C outside! I'd heard that bees huddle together for warmth in winter, but didnt really have an idea of what it would look like. The nearest I had was an anecdote my dad told me about how a beehive he had froze to death in winter even though there was plenty of honey in the hive. Seemed the bees were not willing to leave the ball of bees with the queen to go and get some honey.....!!

got so much fun stuff to do with this new kit! Really quite excited about it!!! and yeah its true, apparently Anita Sarkeesian was badmouthing me at some talk in sweden. Fine..... she wants back on the radar.... who an I to stop the lolzcow? lastly... whatdya reckon. was 2016 the Peak Year for SJWs?

no.... no spoilers.... but...... YEEEEHHHAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

So back in the UK, and back to the bees! So being a sporting chap I thought I would take a look in the hive with the thermal camerea. I'd always heard they kept the hive warm during winter, but I never expected what I saw when I looked inside!

Last time I asked you to upvote a video, just to see what the effect would be. Early on it was very dramatic with the video increasing the subscription rate by almost 5 fold. The views in the first hour were also very high. After the first day however the effects were far less pronounced. The video had a higher number of views than I would have expected, but nothing like a 5x increase in views that there were on the last video for the first hour or so. This time I want to see if there if having a massive splurge of upvotes in the middle of the video does anything ;-) n yeah, Anita Sarkeesian was indeed on the trending list with a video that had picked up about 12000 hits in 10 hours. https://twitter.com/thunderf00t/status/812613774003892224 FYI, this video picked up that many hits in the first hour!

youtube pissed a lot of people off lately! Firstly they changed the algorithm. Now you may thing 'so what... their website... they can do what they want'. Then you realize that thousands of people have put thousands of hours of work into their channels, and at a single change to the algorithm their channels traffic can halve or worse! Likewise, all this year people of been saying that they're being unsubscribed for no reason. Well youtube finally responded! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRAFWF3LJnw The video currently has a 2 % approval rating. I dont think folks found it terribly convincing!

So a new camera like this is ~$50k You can get them refurbished for ~$25-30k This one was on ebay for $15k! Sold as seen no returns. :-\ okay.... so lets take a look at this.... 1) half the price 2) the seller has been reselling scientific stuff for ~10yrs. 100% rating on ebay. 3) the seller said the last time it was used it worked. 4) it was being sold on from a satellite manufacturer. 5) camera manufacturer confirmed service history of camera. 6) could not show camera working. Thats not that surprising. Upper end high speed cameras are not really point and push.

It all really is this simple. Charity donations ARE tax deductable Political donations ARE NOT. If you want 501c3 tax status...... you have agreed that you will not be a political organization. FeministFrequency, and its executive director hasnt just crossed that line, it took a giant dump on it too! If she wanted to be a political activist, she should never have applied for 501c3 tax exempt status. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju9nJDpFDBA Hes a typical debunking from Princeasbel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju9nJDpFDBA

Someone sent me this after it went viral on facebook. It currently has over 7mn hits there! https://www.facebook.com/DavidAvocadoWolfe/videos/10153685785536512/ Whoever came up with idea of putting solar panels on a cone was an idiot. In fact on further looking it seems the company that came out with this idea vanished years ago.... and someone has only just rediscovered their 'brilliant' idea. Sure its true you generate more or less constant power throughout the day, but that power is about 1/3rd of what a tracking solar panel would get, and less even than a static solar panel would generate. They then say spinning them will keep them cool. Not really that big of a deal. Solar panels are fantastic in they contain NO MOVING PARTS!. That makes them very low maintenance. If you start having to spin those with motors, you now have to have a more expensive construction involving moving parts. Lastly they suggest putting it all inside a glass cone... a greenhouse. -just the thing to do if you want to keep your solar panels cool!

Using an exact copy of the Total Drama Island bear wasnt the smartest of moves. His options are basically fight, or deal. Honestly, having been involved in MANY copyright battles, I wouldnt fight this one. To make a deal, he's going to have to contact the copyright holders, and be nice enough to them to get them to drop their DMCA claims. Thats not impossible. There are many things he might offer them. Royalties, deleting the offending videos (if thats enough), an apology? In any event, the conspiracy/ histrionics brigade pissing off the copyright holders in unlikely to help Bearing out here.

.... not a paid promotion or anything... THEYRE JUST REALLY COOL! Just search ebay for 'Luminous Quartz Crystal Sphere' and you will get them as cheap as $2 with free shipping.

The hype of the EM drive has been truly remarkable. The creator claims they it will give us flying cars, cheap access to space, and solve global warming. The come the ground breaking news its passed peer review!!! Then you look at the details. Turns out the peer review paper claims the thrust is something like 100 millionths of a Newton per 100 watts. If that doesnt send alarm bells ringing immediately, it should. To keep a human alive in regular life takes about 100 watts. Just standing up requires a force of 1000 Newtons. Turns out just my breath alone can provide about 100 times the thrust of the EM drive. Indeed the value is so pathetically small, it could easily be an experimental error. Now it turns out the people doing the measurement were at used NASA kit (they had the very sensitive force balance needed). Then comes the next problem. The device... IF the results are real, would rewrite FUNDAMENTAL laws of the universe, like conservation of momentum. So basically, IF a measurement right on the limit of what can be measured is correct, and shows an idea from a crank.... who thinks a non-sensical drive will give cheap access to space (impossible even if it worked as claimed).... was actually right! The mere fact that NASA wants nothing to do with publicising this should tell you how much faith they have that this is actually an epoch making discovery.... and not say for instance just an experimental error on a 'thrust' that can barely be measured.

Ball park numbers, people are about 2 meters tall. Dimes, 5 pence pieces, or eurocents are all about 1 millimeter thick. The ratio of 1m to 1 mm is 1000. If you drop a further factor of 1000 down on mms you get to microns (one millionth of a meter). The entire visible spectrum have wavlengths of about 0.4 to 0.8 microns. Turns out thermal cameras are essentially black and white cameras. They just measure intensity. However thanks to a neat trick, you can actually estimate the temperature of an object by how much infrared radiation its giving off. The infrared region in which thermal cameras see is about 1 to 14 microns. In actuality, thermal cameras break this up into the near, mid and far IR. So my camera see in the 7-14 micron region.

Supermoon hype is mostly BS. The moon varies in its distance from earth by ~10 as it orbits. Practically at some point in its orbit, its always 10 % closer than other times. This time that just happened when the moon was full. The moon appeared ~ 10 % bigger, and the press lost their minds!

Its not here yet... but its in the post..... but what exactly is in the post? Well thanks to the nature of the US government, probably not that much will change. The wall.... will never be completed as stated..... Obama care has gone from a disaster which he will repeal on his first day, to something he quite likes aspects of. And hes gone from 'appointing a special prosecutor' against Hillary to thanking her for her long years of service to the United States. and of course... hes going to appoint the best and the brightest..... yknow like Sarah Palin. Im also not particularly swayed by this is some huge change in the demographics of america. 2012, it was 65mn to Obama, to 60mn to Romney. 2016 was 61 mn to Clinton to 60 mn to Trump. ..... bottom line, of ~200mn voters in US, the entire swing was ~5mn votes.

The Trump/ Pence ticket is the most anti-science ticket ever to win the presidency. But is there really anything to celebrate about an anti-science president governing your country. Some way well argue that in a first world country, science denial is simply the path back to the dark ages, and having an antievolution ticket winning the White House is simply the first step down that path!

u gotta wail in despair at this sort of thing. Yup, apparently they've been featured in TIme Magazine! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/waterseer-water-women#/updates It did actually however prompt me to look at their 'research'... in particular their 'proof of concept'. Its a joke of almost surreal proportions. They create a 1m2 leaf to collect condensation. http://www.waterseer.org/assets/waterseer_prototype-proof-of-concept_field_test_results%E2%80%93v2-1.pdf Well if they'd actually just used that to collect water, it would have been about 10 times more effective.

So the waterseer folks wrote a facebook page reply to my video. Cool I hear you say... surely they will show that my thermodynamic/ conservation of energy calculations are wrong, and that the waterseer is actually possible! -well... not quite. They complain about the tone of the video.... they claim its Berkeley so they must be right... they complain that I showed students in the video... despite the fact that that video comes from their very own wepage. That is they were perfectly happy to use UC Berkeley students to promote their product, then to use them as a human shield when someone points out that they were in fact spouting BS. https://www.facebook.com/WaterSeer/posts/1730237293968256 Maybe the most damning thing is that UC Berkeley added a disclaimer to their page the day after I put up my video. http://scet.berkeley.edu/vici-labs-collider-project/ you can check out the waybackmachine to find the version with no disclaimer... or the earlier video I made. I can tell you why too. ANY physical scientist would have looked at the thermodynamics I showed and said 'WOOOAH... u REALLY screwed the pooch on this one Berkeley!'

So the Waterseer claims that its going to bring free clean drinking water to the desert, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. Up to 37 liters of free water per day, and all they want off you is $77 000! Of which they have already raised over $180 000. Nothing wrong with the aspirations, problem is the whole thing is complete BS from start to finish. The device claims its going to condense water out of the air using the cool deeper ground. First problem is that 'cool deeper ground' more reflects average annual temperatures.... which practically means for about half the year the device would not work. Then you take a look at some typical desert figures and realise that the device would only work if the dew point is at the temperature of the ground a couple of meters down. This maybe happens for a few days a year in desert areas like New Mexico. Then of course, you just run the numbers on their claim. They claim they can get ~ 40 liters per day. To condense water you need to get rid of ~ 2 000 kJ of energy for each liter. https://www.thermexcel.com/english/tables/vap_eau.htm So they have to get rid of 80 000 kJ of energy PER DAY! Thats enough energy to heat up the surrounding soil four tons of soil from 10 degrees C to 30 degrees C. At that point the device would stop working. So it really doesnt matter which way you cut it.... this is utter BS! Still not sure if this is a scam or not. The indiegogo people certainly have a lot of scammy looking projects on their Vici labs page. Many of these dont seem to exist ANYWHERE ELSE on the web other than on their Vici labs page. They certainly got University of California Berkeley involved with this. Indeed its utterly cringey to see a 'chief scientist' of an ENGINEERING center promote something that its utterly trivial to show is complete BS thermodynamically. Even worse they had a competition, with 12000 bucks prize money, for a concept you can trivially show is a non-starter! Some of the designs need to be seen to be believed! http://scet.berkeley.edu/vici-labs-collider-project/ http://scet.berkeley.edu/waterseer-collider-winners-announced/ UC Berkeley is meant to be one of the top US universities! Even worse.... even IFFFFF they manage to make this (they cant.... the thermodynamics just dont work).....they would just get sued by someone else who had the same completely no viable idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRteOtKqLOw Yup, university of San Diego this time!

The words failure of epic proportion are thrown around a lot these days..... however Solar Roadways grand unveiling may have just raised the bar on what that actually means. We were promised roads that would generate power, be computer controlled, modular, replaceable, with programmable lights that would function as road markings that would be visible during the day. What was delivered was a 'road' that couldnt be driven DIDNT GENERATE ANY POWER had LED lights on that just cycled LED that were not visible even when the STREET LIGHTS WERE STILL ON, let alone in full daylight! and of course 75% of them died within a week of instillation. You too can now watch the brilliance of the REALITY of solar freakin roadways live! http://www.cityofsandpoint.com/visiting-sandpoint/solar-roadways#ad-image-2 You would have thought such a failure to achieve anything would have dampened their bold claims.... but not at all, they are now claiming the road will recharge your electric car while you are actually driving......sigh.... and they STILL get wall to wall favorable media coverage!

So laci green just won a Streamy Award for 'best science and education'. Seems like all that Social Justice Warrior stuff might be paying off for her! However the internet seems pretty quick on delivering karma these days. Turns out she was also reporting smaller youtubers for dmca violations over fair use in thumbnails. (Incidentally, this thumbnail mostly bought to you by @TheCartoonLoon.) Philip Defranco decided to cover this.... and of course Laci Green responded. However I remember WAYYYYY back... before anyone ever made any money on youtube..... when Philip Defranco was a big name and laci was a nobody.... till he kinda promoted her... cos honestly before that, laci was going nowhere. Sure she worked hard to get her breasts into the camera shot, but if people wanted to see that sort of thing, it aint hard to find. Back in the day someone called her on it, and she got all 'legally' on them, threatening to DMCA their video, then to flag it as harassment. Then years later, SargonofAkkad was DMCAed by Laci Greens 'Braless'. Now years later... the slow learner is submitting DMCA complaints about her face being used in thumbnails......just the person you want winning your 'science and education award!'

Perceptions of color can be weird! Yes red led can clearly be seen to contain green light! Also... this cheap plastic diffraction grating stuff is AWESOME!!! Personally I would recommend the 500 lines /cm stuff. The colors are truely amazing... looking at white light was never so beautiful! Just do a search for 'Diffraction Grating sheet 500 lines/mm' and you will find the stuff. It comes in the form of slides (which are useful... you just hold them up to your eye) or film. The film is nice, but tends to be a finger print magnet. Nice thing is you can see a wider field with the film though. I always carry a load of the slides in my wallet (500, 1000, 13500 lines per cm). Never had I shown them to folks at scientific meetings and not had people amazed!

I dunno who game up with the great idea at youtube of 'yknow what we really want, is to be able to give people the ability to mass flag videos on youtube... and call them HEROES!'.... but.... slow clap! In other news, looks like spacex agree with my analysis of the falcon 9 explosion: "At this stage of the investigation, preliminary review of the data and debris suggests that a large breach in the cryogenic helium system of the second stage liquid oxygen tank took place. " http://www.spacex.com/news/2016/09/01/anomaly-updates Not that it was exactly rocket science... the more worrying thing is why did they have a failure in their helium system at all? That should be one of the simplest and most reliable things on the rocket. Its basically a high pressure coke can and some plumbing. Why... HOW could such a thing fail?

Stunningly, Anita Sarkeesian continues her moral crusade against anything a man might consider sexy. Sad thing there is she seems to be laboring under the delusion that what men find sexy is simply some 'cultural norm'. Actually its pretty much biological in origin, and a lot of what men find sexy is about half the reason we're actually stood here today listening to a dumbass woman say the opposite. I mean god forbid a sexy woman ever appear in a computer game pitched at men! FYI... been sick as a dog making this.... if my voice sounds funny. https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

A more detailed analysis of the spacex falcon 9 rocket explosion. Several interesting details. Firstly the main explosion is actually from the fuel from the second stage and the liquid oxygen from the first stage. In order to save weight on the rocket the second stage of the falcon 9 uses a common wall for the liquid oxygen and fuel tank (rp1). Any rupture in this tank wall would doom the rocket. The quiet 'pop' may well be a failure of a helium tank. They are usually used to keep a pressure in the tanks while they are emptying due to the rocket burning the fuel. If one of these had ruptured while the oxygen tank was full, it could have overpressurized the tank causing it to also fail.

Amazing the wall to wall coverage of the SpaceX UFO! Maybe I can make it a little easier for some of these folks....... these are small... but those are far away! Believe it or not, belief in UFOs is actually real... and really REALLY big on youtube! These folks aint just poe-ing it... they're real! The mere fact that if this was a UFO at the distance of the Falcon 9, it would only been about 1m in diameter and travelling ~ 4x the speed of sound without a sonic boom doesnt seem to have bothered them. Nor does the fact that there were several similar 'UFO' buzzing around the launch pad that day seemed to have phased them in their unshakeable belief that.... ALIENS!

Believe it or not, nasa currently cannot put a man into space. After the shuttle was decommissioned, NASA decided it was going to put their human launch capability in the hands of the private sector. In principal not such a bad thing..... in practice.... its highly debatable. The explosion of the spaceX falcon 9 rocket on the pad in Aug. 2016 was a hell of a wakeup call. Nasa hasnt had an explosion while fuelling for ~40 years. This was all pretty well sorted out a LONG time ago. Further how can you actually get an explosion while fuelling unless you have a structural failure of either the oxidant or fuel? This looks to be a flaw with the actual rocket design... and further a rather expensive flaw. Turns out the rocket that blew up cost about 60 million dollars per launch. Further the satellite it was carrying cost about 200 million dollars. Now to be fair, NASA blew up a LOT of rockets before they worked out more or less how to do it right. All that knowledge is basically locked up in NASA engineers minds. It seems remarkably optimistic to hope that Spacex will be able to do as good a job. Sure spacex has done some good stuff. Recovery of the first stage looked impressive, but its so ridden with problems, that in practice its doubtful if it will ever be cost effective. Reusable space vehicles has been a dream for DECADES, however in practice it cost almost as much to maintain as build new ones.

In a disturbing development, Youtube removed the 'ad friendly' rating from a recent Philip defranco video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbph5or0NuM Now it turns out I'd been hit by a rash of these several months ago. I contested most of them, and youtube reinstated the 'ad friendly' rating. Nonetheless it was clear someone was going through and flagging as many of my vids as possible. That sucks, because its basicly giving carte blanche to anyone who doesnt like what you're saying, that all they have to do is flay you enough, and eventually they will win. What seems to have followed the recent rash of this sort of thing is a new set of youtube 'guidelines'. Naturally the guidelines as ever are so vaguely written that anything could be either permitted, or excluded. So in practice the guidelines are defined by their enforcement. Defrancos video was honestly pretty vanilla stuff for youtube. However conspicuously it had a title critical of social justice warriors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbph5or0NuM Further Im not so sure what youtubes playing at here. One of the reasons youtube was so successful was the liberty it gave its users. Not that that was entirely virtuous, after all, the more people who make videos, the more people watch them on youtube, the more money they make. However, this development could be a 'tip of the iceberg' thing which shows that youtube is going the way of twitter and facebook in applying their beliefs to what the terms of service mean. Well we all saw how that worked out with twitter, when they banned Milo at the behest of Leslie Jones. Meanwhile she had been openly boasting about how she engaged in exactly the sort of 'bullying' she was accusing Milo of.

FYI polyethylene is just a simple thermal window for the camera, that also keeps the camera dry and out of the way of humidity. The camera (optris pi640) is actually (on the grand scale of things) a midrange camera. Indeed when FLIR came and showed me their cameras, their top camera cost over $100 000! The FLIR cameras were about twice the price of the Optris cameras (spec for spec). They are clearly nice, better produced cameras. However the software to drive them was extortionate. It was almost half the cost of the cameras for the range I was looking at! The Optris cameras have comparable specs, but the focus is strictly manual (IIRC, the FLIR cameras had autofocus and quick change lenses... you dont get any of that with Optris). However the bottom line was. Optris 640*480.... comparable price flir 320*240 frame rates comparable for both temperature sensitivity comparable for both ~0.05 K temperature range, both ~-20 to ~1000C In reality you could get an extra filter for the FLIR, which took it up to ~2000C which would have been useful. Sadly you have to make your compromises :-(

its ironic in many ways that so many people wanted to defend the hyperloop by claiming it was Elon Musks invention, and that hes a genius who invented rockets and electric cars.

All the problems of deep space travel, bought down to the surface of the planet, such that you can travel about the speed of a bullet within a couple of cm of a gun barrel. Sadly almost no one in the main stream media assessed this stuff critically from a scientific/ engineering point of view. They just took them at their word when they said they could construct the completely untested large scale hyperloop for 1/10th the cost of a regular high speed rail connection. They took them at their word when they said it would only cost 20 bux, and take on 25 minutes. In reality the engineering problems are probably insurmountable. It would be like proposing a floating roadway across the Mediterranean or something. This video was supported though Patreon.

The hyperloop has all the hall marks of wishful thinking of dewey eyed dreamers sold by PR bullshit men who simply dont want to hear engineering reality. Im currently making a longer video debunking it, but this was just some fun I had this evening simulating the effects of a tube failure on someone in the hyperloop. A tube failure would likely kill everyone in the hyperloop. Getting hit by a 1 bar pressure wave travelling at nearly the speed of sound is fatal.

So, I figure this is my last brexit video (for the foreseeable future). FYI, the brexit bodycount was so high, it was actually quite hard making this video. Every other day there would be a new fatality. Most recently (the day before putting this up) Andrea Leadsom pulled out of the race for PM, meaning that Therissa May will be the new PM. Just take that in for a moment, the UK has just had one pro-remain PM step down, only to be replaced by another pro-remain candidate. You would have thought the conservatives would at least have been able to get in a PM who actually voted for Brexit! Bottom line is I called this from the beginning and got a SHITLOAD of grief for it. First few minutes of my discussion with Sargon, I explained it was all just a very expensive change without a difference. Now all the promises of the brexiters have evaporated. No one is promising more border security, no one is promising more money to the NHS. No one has any idea what will happen next. Freethinking means you dont always go with the herd!

So I got the camera from the indiegogo campaign about a a day or two ago. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who contributed and made this happen! This thing is AMAZING. It should be too, it cost about $10k. (the remaining 4 k from the crowd funder I will probably use to buy an extra lens (~$3k) once I have a better understanding of the camera capability and what is likely to be most useful. So many cool things lined up for this, from graphic demonstrations of how global warming works, to melting things at 1000C! I wont be adding this to the patreon supported feed. I've got one more video to do on brexit, then I will be getting back to more normal stuff :-) Nonetheless, many thanks to all those who do support this channel by Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Just some unplugged action as I've been out of the loop for over a week!

So brexit won a 17:16 victory. Probably one of the greatest Pyrrhic victories in history! Oddly however, the PM didnt decide to invoke article 50, that will START the process of withdrawal from the EU. Curiously he decided to wait to get a new PM (which will take ~ 3 months) and then there is 'no hurry'. Oddly, none of the brexiters thought this a little weird. Why if you intend to respect the result should you wait 3 months.... maybe years, for invoke the process of leaving the EU? The period of uncertainty will just screw anyone over trying to make long term plans for investing in the UK. To make things even funnier, the EU has come straight out said the referendum should be respected and the UK should invoke article 50. It looks to me like everyone is just hoping that if they leave it for a month or two, something will come out of the woodwork to save them, or it will become so clear to the British ppl that this was a profoundly stupid thing to do that they will want another referendum. In short, Brexiter, its not even begun until someone invokes article 50. Honestly, I think the UK should sleep in the bed its made, so to that end Ive set up a government petition for you. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/144375/sponsors/S7zGfE0UyM2UBq2CM4T

.....10 mins after waking up.... and before I'd even smelled the coffee! full stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc669PDOaeg

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? If the UK decides to stay, it will be dull, BORING and safe. If it decides to leave.... then its all down to the brexit camp to show they were not full of hot air! Time for them to show how Britain can be great again, and it wasnt all empty promises! How hard they fail and how expensive the cost, who knows, but just like an episode of top gear..... it sure as hell aint gonna be dull! Sadly, stay or leave, Britain will be a deeply divided country tomorrow! Thanks Brexit referendum!

The battle you've all been waiting for....... say what you want.... but I aint chicken! Enjoy! :-)

Why did the the UK ever join the EU? It applied THREE TIMES to join! Again, Im no fan of the EU, but I know the lesser of two evils when I see it. I also know mindless nationalism when I see it.

The EU might be a typical government body. Inefficient and bureaucratic. However, that doesnt necessarily mean that Great Britain is best off dumping it! ~70 yrs ago, we bombed the living crap out of Stuttgart. Next week Im going to give a talk there. Theres been a LOT of forgiveness in europe about what happened back then..... lets just hope that forgiveness hasnt given way to forgetfulness.

The trolling of the reason rally stream really was far far FAR funnier and more entertaining than the Reason Rally. Their goal was to show how great the non-religious were.... and Steve Shives approves of what they achieved. Thats an official gravestone for the movement if ever there was one.

The last 'Reason Rally' in 2012 was arguable a success. Sadly, I think the 'Reason Rally 2016' will only testify to just how dumb it is to try to build an non-religious movement where the lead item on the agenda is 'LGBITZQ' equality. Its kinda quantifiable too. Ray Comfort was planning to turn up to 'feed the 5000 atheists' at the 2016 Reason Rally. I have doubts if they will even get 5000 ppl to turn up. Ray Comfort came with a 'gift' in pocket of $25 000. About a week before the Reason Rally, a link appeared on their website saying that they needed $100 000 to make the event happen. Two days before the event they have raised ~20k. Anita Sarkeesians speaking fee is about 30k. Really, at this point, after they have been infested with SJWs, is there anything worth salvaging from the wreckage of the atheism and humanism movements? Im moving onto debunking some more pseudoscience after this, but this video really got to me making it, as I was there when this was a vibrant and exciting movement, and it disgust me to thing that now its been reduced to the level that Banana man can turn up to the 'largest gathering of the non-religious in history' and GIVE AWAY more than the 'Reason Rally' can raise.

For those who want to see the train wreck first hand... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AFwZl5JC94&t=1h59m55s To say he drinks the feminist coolaide is an understatement. Just editing it down for the reason rally video and its already more than 10 minutes long.... so I decided to put this out on its own. Naturally I wont be adding this to the patreon supported feed, there was just so much work that went into cutting this down, that it made sense to put it out on its own.

sorry.... away from home.... best I can do on the fly! Back in civilization next week... hope to put something together worthy of the patreon supported stream then!.

I simply wouldnt believe that someone with a board of 100% female editors would STILL have the balls to say that they are discriminated against!

Remember 'Atheism Plus'..... well in the SJW universe... history repeats itself bloody quickly. Now only a few years later, they bring us 'Humanism PLUS' http://americanhumanist.org/news/details/2016-05-humanist-group-launches-initiatives-for-racial-justi The Reason Rally, likewise.... its goals..... 1) LGBTQ equality 2) climate change 3) womens reproductive rights Just what you want to see at the 'largest gathering of the non religious in history'! Ironically.....I would normally be a naturally 'ally' to something like the Reason Rally. Sadly however, when the code of conduct tells me I must listen to trans stories and respect peoples pronouns......sorry but thats a deal breaker. I just wish 'the largest gathering of the non-religious in history' had chosen better targets to focus on.

Oh boy! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fontus-the-self-filling-water-bottles/x/13352960#/comments The irony is, this got me reading their indiegogo page.

The fact that its thermodynamically impossible seem to stop 'science communicators' from promoting this.

Water bottle claims to make water out of thin air. Its bullshit on so many levels, but I had all the kit to do this, so I thought I'd get an estimate of what sort of thing might be possible. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fontus-the-self-filling-water-bottles#/ I got about 60 mg of water in 10 mins running at 40 watts. So 40 watt hours would give 0.36 g of water. 10 hours gives about 3.6 grams, 20 hrs will give about 7 grams. My power supply is producing about 3x the power they want to use to run their device. Water from air.... sure.... practical.... not even remotely!

I hate people trying to micromanage risks in my life.... and the worst of them all are those claiming to be doing it for pious reasons. Utah recently declared pornography to be hazardous. A moral panic not dissimilar to that of 'games cause violence' of about a decade ago, or Anita Sarkeesians recent crusade about 'video games cause sexism'. Great video on the rather erratic youtube guidelines! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF2tCY281Rk I really dont want the government micromanaging risk, or society like this. If nothing else, its bad for the research in that many scientific discoveries require risk. Its also an interesting suggestion as to why there are so few great women in history compared to men. To become great at anything you need to take risks, and boy are men better at taking risks than women. This is one of the reasons why they make up 90% of the darwin awards, and 90 % of the people in the 'people are awesome' videos.

So when I first made a video showing that CrazyRussianHackers idea about using dry ice for an air conditioner was basically suicidal, I really didnt think anything would come of it. Then recently he filed a DMCA takedown of my video. This resulted in a strike against my account and me losing access to certain features. Now thats a special brand of idiot who makes a video about a suicidal way to chill the air, then files a baseless copyright takedown of the only warning about how dumb that idea is. Especially against a guy like me who has a history of fighting DMCA abuse! So.... I fought.....then, while thinking about making a reply to his DMCA abuse... guess what I come across, but a virtually identical video to the CrazyRussianHackers, but released about 2 months earlier! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NZ-2KcAF_0 the LOL-compare to CrazyRussianHackers video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9Td5uMB_vQ HOLY CRAP!

Just some fun stuff left on the cutting board.... seemed a shame to waste it ;-) I wont be adding this to the patreon supported feed.... cos its just clearing off the cutting board. However MANY thanks to all those who helped get my crowdfunder for a IR camera to the 5k goal within 24 hrs! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/solar-freakin-thorium-roadways--4#/ OSU lays down the law to the SJWs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__iQGa0OkIs anita and the male gaze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPOla9SEdXQ and sitting in a way that degrades women and lacks confidence at sydney opera house! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHDbZ2hHtlg&nohtml5=False

Yup, Anita Sarkeesians feminist research has led her to the conclusion that sitting like a woman is inferior to sitting like a man. In reality, it would be far more comfortable and simple if women were to simple sit like a man, yknow with their legs open! From her video on 'the male gaze' in video games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPOla... Also, crowdfunder link... The crowd funder was successful.

Outrageous sexism does not suddenly -not- become sexism simply because you have a vagina! Feminists have thus given Anita Sarkeesian another ~$160 k dollars (meaning her 200k crowdfunder has reached its 80% minimum funding). This would not have been possible if it were not for 3 large donations of a total of ~$65k! Nonetheless.... I applaud the stupidity of these feminists who are so intent to end sexism that they happily back a project that is openly and unapologetically sexist! GO FEMINISM! Theamazingatheist fundraiser https://www.crowdrise.com/extraordinary-people-daring-to-actually-help-women-/fundraiser/thomaskirk1 While I am very grateful for those who support this channel through Patreon.... I will not be adding this video to the patreon supported feed, cos it was just something that really annoyed me thrown together in less than a day. I figure the next patreon supported video will be on the Triton. Ahhh... but didnt you just do a video debunking that.... i hear you say. Well yes I did. They then said they made it all up in a crowdfunder update, and reinvented the entire project...... WITH EVEN MORE BULLSHIT! Again.... MANY thanks to all those who do support this channel! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

So over the last couple of weeks I got so many requests to do a video on the Triton 'artificial gill' system. Its bull$hit on sooo many levels. The amazing thing is it seems to have been 'released' about 2 years ago and made a big splash, although many were sceptical. Now 2 years on they have an indiegogo campaign and within days pull in almost a million dollars for a project that is bullshit from the start! Many thanks to all those who supported this video, and this channel through patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Recent roadtrip through the bible belt led to some interesting billboards! Also why I was really busy for last week or so and got no videos up :-( I wont be adding this one to the patreon supported feed, but next video on the 'Triton lung' will be! Hope to have it up over the weekend :-)

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian planned to spend $40 000 JUST asking people to give her money! Even crazier, with her new project, it looks like shes done virtually everything for less than $20k she says she put in. So why is she now asking for $200 000 for a project that has essentially been complete for $20 000? Just for fun, so I wont be adding this to the patreon supported stream.

EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE: DARING TO ACTUALLY HELP WOMEN https://www.crowdrise.com/extraordinary-people-daring-to-actually-help-women-/fundraiser/thomaskirk1 in the meanwhile, Anita Sarkeesian wants another $200 000 in essentially a rerun of her kickstarter project of 2012, which asked for $6000 to make 6 videos in about 6 months. It actually delivered only 2 of those videos in about 3 years (so far) out of $150 000 dollars she raised! In the meanwhile her organization (which according to her tax return still doesnt have employees) has raised almost a million dollars.... and this STILL wasnt enough for her! And even more surprising is that there are still feminists willing to throw money at her despite this track record!

GAH.... just had to vent about this! Dear feminists.... IF YOU DELIVERED THE GOODS.... no one would care. Reality is, you complain about everything and deliver nothing. You are parasites on other people creativity!

The trailer for Bridesmaids 2: The Ghost catchers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ugHP-yZXw This is what happens when you make your films around who is in them, rather than just trying to make a good film!

TOTD: How stupid does feminism have to be before it fails? You take a look historically.... bad ideas can be very VERY successful. How dumb does feminism have to be before it cashes in on that sort of success? Anita Sarkeesian is certainly giving it her best shot!

Naturally, if these 'concernedstudents1950' had any grievance with any real basis is reality, I would be all with them.

often fun how research can lead you to do some weird things. In this case taking apart a high pressure sodium bulb. The cesium thing was a genuine surprise. I knew it was often used as a 'getter' in high vacuum applications, but didnt really even know for certain if these bulbs worked on vacuum or argon atmosphere. Im guessing it must be vacuum, else it would explode with the central element at ~ 600C. Sad note... the alumina tube cracked shortly after making this.... but no big deal.... I think I know what I have to do to get a real nice spectra of this gas! Just some random fun, so I wont be adding it to the Patreon supported feed.

so people intermittently ask me questions about science on TV shows. One in particular was the scene in Breaking Bad about if you can really make thermite from an etch-a-sketch (or a generic version of one). Honestly, this was in the maybe pile for me, because if indeed it was fine aluminium in the etch-a-sketch, then yeah, it would be relatively straightforwards to make thermite from it. It would also be possible to see if you could indeed melt through a lock with it. So with that I ordered myself an etch-a-sketch...... and went experimenting :-) Many thanks to all those who support this channel through Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Yeah, I've been sick all week, so my voice is kinda rough.

Yeah, I may well do a longer video on this at some point, cos there is some very high profile BS about 'spontaneous human combustion'. In a pure oxygen atmosphere, I think people would burn very well. The only real reason my chicken went out was because most of the oxygen was vented by the rising hot gases. I tried it with a gummy bear in a flowing oxygen atmosphere.... damn that was impressive! FYI... this week I was meant to be making a video on the thermite reaction in Breaking Bad.

Sadly, it looks like islamic state have worked out that shooting people is more effective than trying to blow them up. Making bombs and nerve gases is actually a highly skilled job, which has been the key stumbling block, and the factor that has twarted many of their terrorist attacks.

Running along walls? Its remarkable easy with quicksilver! So just a little more playing with the new high speed cameras. This is filming 1000fps on mercury on a Sony rx10 mkII.

A quick summary. Laughingwitch engages in letter writing campaign to my employers, local news papers and the police to try to get me fired and my career ruined. I let it slide. Laughingwitch claims I've been fired and makes fun of me for losing my job, and that her letter writing campaign was the cause. I call her out on her BS. Laughingwitch claims shes proud of what shed done and that there is nothing people can do in return. I point out the fallacy of her position, and soon afterwards people demonstrate exactly this weakness. I suggest laughingwitch do a sincere apology. Her apology is little more than a launching pad for a 'fund anything' campaign. In the promo video her husband calls me an 'evil evil man'. They then go onto the local TV news network claiming 'they have apologized' and that I am guilty of cyberterrorism. AgentofDoubt thinks the fund anything campaign stinks! He finds the local courts have a ruling against the Keller and Burns for exactly the same amount ($25 000). The court ruling is months before my dealings with laughingwitch! They later make an update saying $25 000 really won't help them any as they are preparing to file for bankruptcy (something they had been planning to do before I got involved with them) and they are at least $100 000 in the hole! Theres part of me that thinks it would have just been so much cleaner to simply crowd source suing them for defamation. Then they would have maybe made the apology that the community needs to discourage this sort of douchy behaviour in the future. Kinda like a VFX apologizes to the internets mk II. Agent of doubts excellent video where he drops the bombshell about Laughingwitches company having a ruling against them for 25k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qY689h8Tos For those who would like to add their support via Patreon, I'd be very grateful! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

It takes a special brand of idiot to make a video proudly trying to get someone fired...in a public letter writing campaign... MAKING IT CLEAR ITS USING YOUR REAL NAME! then trying to get someones video taken down merely for using that name. I got the first 'privacy complaint' yesterday. I got the first message back from youtube saying the video was exempt. 'We have reviewed the complaint and have determined that the content is excepted from removal based on our privacy guidelines, which can be found at http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_guidelines. The content does not violate our policies and will remain on the site. ' Shortly afterwards I received two more privacy complaints using exactly the same time reference. Thus far Laughingwitch has yet to express one iota of remorse for trying to destroy my career, or celebrating when she thought she had. Karma, ONLY A BITCH, if you are one!

So it turns out theres nothing actually wrong with someone writing to someone elses employer. Telling them that they are a nazi who commands a hate army is pretty much the thing that defamation lawsuits are made from. Many would also find it difficult to feel sorry if someone like this, who so unrepentantly tried to mess up someones life, got hoisted on their own petard. Its got a whole Bahar Mustava thing going for it! If I were laughingwitch right now.... after she openly made a video showing her sending this email calling me a nazi to the local police, news papers, and of course my employer... when that same email with a google search shows who she is and the company she works for.... I would be making a MOST since apology to the internets!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICgi0WGVEwU&t=7m50s and the comments here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPwkvUfMWS0 Not only are their celebrations premature... even if they had succeeded, what would they have achieved? The sad thing is they foster a more hostile environment to 'get' a target, where in reality all they are doing is creating an environment that will screw over pretty much everyone. While I dont add videos like this to the Patreon supported feed, Im very grateful to those who do help. https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

The Thors Hammer experiment! Getting alkali metals to explode reproducibly is hard.... and dangerous. This is a relatively safe way of getting an explosion out of potassium and ice. You get a smallish piece of potassium (~0.1-0.3g) and mount it on a needled (or wire) taped to a hammer. It will work better if you cut it in a flat plate geometry and with the fresh cut face pointing downwards. You then hit a block of ice with that hammer. The results are impressive! Naturally, you will need all the safety kit for handling alkali metals.... notably a face shield, body covering and a decent glove.

I utterly disapprove of the whole thing.... I really do. Nonetheless I cannot help but savour the irony of those who most strongly advocate the oppression of others free speech rights are the first to get stomped on by that same legislation. In this case, the UK laws are messed up... but a LOT of UK law is. Yes, tweeting #KillAllWhiteMen is a pretty offensive thing to do, but in this case its clear hyperbole, little different from a father saying to his kid 'Ill kill you if you do that again'. That said, a lot of the 'hate' that people like Anita Sarkeesian get is clear hyperbole too. I won't be adding this to the patreon supported feed...... wanna do the new alkali metal experiment for the next video there :-) https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

So Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn were both at the United Nations and at Google Ideas this week. Apparently they think that saying 'you suck' to someone online is cyber violence that is comparable to physical violence (seriously... read the report!). http://time.com/4049106/un-cyber-violence-physical-violence/

A mixture of footage I've gotten with the new high speed camera. The stuff with NaK reacting under argon is particularly pretty. There is also some explosions of NaK when being dropped on water and some regular potassium tied to a shot glass and dropped into water. The water hammer effect is fantastic. Yeah, this is how depth charges sink ships! Part of a prelude to a new experiment which is a safe, extremely reliable way of making potassium explode. It so easy to do, and so dramatic that its difficult to believe that this is not going to become a staple demonstration in the class room! :-D

Drives me up the wall how far feminists will bend things to make sure that they are the victim. Their first trick is to claim that they are being treated as objects. In reality of course you could view everything as objects (and in object orientated programming.. YOU DO... damn should have put that in there too, how OO is really just a tool of the patriarchy!). I mean the second you have said you like someone over another... you can trace that value judgement to a list of factors that were used to make that assessment. Hell I guess they were just assessed like an object.... and after someone has been reduced to the level of objects, violence against that object becomes intrinsically permissible ... right? right feminists? It contributes to a culture where violence against objects is not taken seriously... RIGHT? Seriously I gave some thought to making up this crazy shit.... but Ive got to admit, that compared to Anita Sarkeesians 'its not sexy that sells, its sexism'....Im but a pale imitation of that level of crazy!. I wont be adding this video to the Patreon supported feed, but for those who wish to support future work.. many thanks! https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

If you are wondering what I was doing running a butane torch over aluminium in the first place, its simple, I just wanted a blackbody radiator to calibrate my new spectrometer. It failed.... but it did reveal some rather interesting behavior!

So 'The Sarkeesian Effect' is out. I cant tell you much about it as you have to pay to see it! However this was my interview for it. The interview was done early in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG5PZzcq0F4 Just putting this up for completeness.... and yeah... not putting this in the patreon supported feed.... but theres more quality stuff to come for that soon :-) https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Kent Hovind incriminates his son, Eric Hovind in the interstate selling of the drug amygdalin. http://creationtoday.org/product/b17-package-2/ Interstate selling of amygdalin is illegal at a federal level: http://www.cancertreatmentwatch.org/q/laetrile/commissioner.pdf Even though selling of amygdalin is legal in about 1/3rd of states, the federal ban on its interstate sale (due to the fact that theres no evidence it actually works) means that you can only sell amygdalin made in your own state, in your own state. Eric Hovinds site will quite happily ship amygdalin to any state in the US. http://www.cochrane.org/CD005476/GYNAECA_laetrile-treatment-for-cancer 'The claims that laetrile or amygdalin have beneficial effects for cancer patients are not currently supported by sound clinical data. There is a considerable risk of serious adverse effects from cyanide poisoning after laetrile or amygdalin, especially after oral ingestion. The risk–benefit balance of laetrile or amygdalin as a treatment for cancer is therefore unambiguously negative.'

Yes Kent Hovind has challenged me to a debate..... well kinda. Actually someone said I wanted to debate him(?) and he said he would do it with his brain tied behind his back.

Ive been playing with the high speed features of the Sony rx100 mk4 today.... and honestly this thing is VERY impressive! I really don't know that much about the camera yet.... but the high speed features are worth it! You can get the ultrasonic mist makers off amazon for ~ 10-20 bux :-)

so I saw some reviews on the sony rx100 mk4 that looked promising. Honestly, I only got it for the high speed features. Its pretty damn good! These were only a few of my first attempts. Its almost an order of magnitude better than the casio exilim cameras I used to use (and destroy) in the sodium/water explosion experiments. Its also a LOT more expensive! This one came in at ~ $1000, almost 5x the cost of the casio cameras. I've really only had the camera a couple of days, so I cant tell you that much about it. Some features look really good, others really annoying. The bottom line is though, the 'point and push' high speed feature produces VERY good video! I have experiments planned though! this thing is gonna do some sterling work! Just for fun, so I wont be adding this to the Patreon supported stream. https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Anita says that games make people more sexist leading to the interesting question, why after shes played all these games hasnt she become a misogynist. Especially seeing as she made it clear that she thinks that the less you think these games affect you, the more they affect you! An even more interesting question is why, if Anita really thinks this is true, did she propose a game concept that encourages the player to physically assault men, treating their bodies as nothing more than objects, in order to be rewarded by the game? Up next..... putting a 'prosumer' grade high speed camera through its paces :-) I wont be adding this to the patreon supported feed, but for those who would like to support videos like this: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Anita Sarkeesian..... COS ITS FUNNY! Up next, WDPLAC! :-D

doing the ground work for the next WDPLAC..... it still stuns me that people can say stuff that is so EVIDENTLY wrong with a straight face. Baud2bits video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrAbZ53VWiI

yeah... its just a load of stuff that was left on the cutting board.... now moving on....cos yeah.... there are better things to be doing..... just for some cheap laugh. :-)

Davis Aurini CATEGORICALLY accepts the holocaust happened, thats why he always calls it a myth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcPtJFC_YuQ

When two people with no real experience of making a documentary say they want to create a documentary that will change the world..... you've gotta be realistic. I gave them an interview cos I knew almost nothing about Davis Aurini and I felt even if their aspirations outstripped their ability, they were at least trying. After all, its MUCH easier to be a critic rather than a creator. However what unravelled beggars belief.

Okays.....after a tough 6 months..... Im back! Soon back to Patreon supported videos :-) https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Ball park numbers: 1 mole of TNT ~ 250g 1mole of TNT exploding gives ~ 7 moles of gas. 1 mole of gas ~ 22.4 liters so 250 g of TNT detonating gives ~ 150 liters of gas. However the gas is not at room temperature (~300 k) but 2000K. Gas expands ~ 7x when heated from 300 K to 2000 K. So when 250g (1/4kg) of TNT is detonated, it creates a fireball ~ 1000 liters in size, or 1 cubic meter. The fireball in the video is ~300m in diameter, or 150m radius. This means the volume of the fireball is ~14 million cubic meters. This means ~3000 tons of TNT would be required to make this fireball. If the estimated diamter of the fireball is reduced to 150m, the volume of course goes down by a factor of 8. This would still mean an estimated 300 tons would be required. It certainly seems the chinese estimate of 20 tons of TNT seems on the light side!

Just something I had to get off my chest.

Gallium is fun stuff! It melts at 31 C, which means its solid at most room temperatures, but can be melted at body temperatures :-) So theres been a heatwave in Europe at the moment. That sucks without AC, but on the upside, my gallium is now a liquid!

ALMOST..... back to normal...... however this experiment had been booked for ~6 months, and had to be done. Might add some more fun stuff to this.

It was fun to do a bit of bee husbandry again :-) Bought back a LOT of memories of my childhood!

My thoughts on the New Horizons probe and the pictures its just sent back from Pluto! I will be getting back into the Patreon supported videos in a month or so.

The last talk my Dad gave.

Sadly my Dad died earlier this week. His close family were all with him when it happened. I wish I'd known more about cancer earlier, as this would have REALLY helped out. Its also the reason why over the next few months I will be making some videos about these sorts of issues. It would have also been good to have known just how little effort the NHS put into making their decisions on cancer. A report recently came out that said the UK lagged behind the rest of Europe on cancer survival, and we very much saw first hand why this was. Not only is this something I want to share, it was also something that I discussed at length with my dad, and he wanted share to share it too.

Yup, if you are a homosexual man, then your sexuality is a choice! If you are a heterosexual man, then your sexuality is just a social construct of the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy! Welcome..... to #FeministLogic Yup, hate to break it to feminists, but your sexuality really isnt influenced that much by 'social constructs'. No one ever taught me what was sexy, but damn, do I know it when I see it!

Just really cool to watch the solar system move like this!

Look for the brightest thing in the western sky at sunset (june-july 2015), thats venus, and the bright guy next to him, thats Jupiter. 30th June...O M G!!!! They were stunningly close..... less than half a degree (angular size of the moon). Almost any telescope will show jupiter and venus as disc..... but its VERY rare to be able to see two planets within the same field of view! This one was a scorcher!

This stuff really does drive me up the wall! The sheer scientific illiteracy of the media! So a week or so ago, we had all these stories about how 'solar cycleways in the Netherlands had generated more energy than expected'. Turns out it was still only 50 % of what would have been generated if those same solar panels had been put on the roof of a building. But hey 'solar cycleway generates half power of roof installation' really isn't as eyegrabbing a headline as 'solar cycleway generates more energy than expected'. Grrrrr EEVblog did a pretty comprehensive analysis of this- recommended! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-ZSXB3KDF0 Then we had the buzzfeedblue team add another million or so hits to the 'hendo hoverboard', with their aspirations to levitate buildings in earthquakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilao8ExArEE The cost of the motors, and more importantly a power supply that can supply about 2 megaWatts of power during an earthquake is kinda a killer there! Which brings me onto Cara Santa Maria, who while she has her moments.... telling a scientist that 'yeah, you just did your own calculations' is hardly a persuasive argument! Thing is with 'aircarbon' is it really is mis-selling stuff. What they really are describing is plastic made from bio-generated methane. They are not talking about 'making it from the air'. Sure is an easy way to milk scientifically illiterate eco-warriors though! https://www.facebook.com/ScienceCara/posts/866949466663744?comment_id=867054583319899&offset=0&total_comments=14 And yeah Cara, thats the great thing about understand the subject you are covering, you dont have to understand the process if you are dealing with state functions. Thermodynamics is not dependant on the process! Oh and yeah, as I said in at least one of my solar roadways videos.... arguably a plausible way of doing this is simply by putting a roof over the road with solar panels on... like the cycleway in S. Korea https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=63&v=LuYsYLqjUtU Many thanks to all of you who support this channel through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Turns out, if you are in a perfectly fair fight, the side that understands a simple piece of mathematics will annihilate the other. Also, it turns out in a war where the ability of fighting machines determines who has the stronger side, that depriving those enemy fighting machines of their supplies is a far better way of neutralizing the enemy force than actually trying to fight their war machines!

20th March 2015, Partial Solar Eclipse in Europe... just a cool timelapse of it. Just a little bit of fun, so I wont be putting this into the Patreon supported feed.

Quality of life vs Quantity of life.... a tough choice.

Tumor ablation is basically killing off all the cancer cells by either freezing, cooking or poisoning. The 'poisoning' is normally done with ethanol (alcohol), although the reckoning is, the cell killing activity here is by dehydration. Well all you need to dehydrate stuff is something thats good at absorbing water, and preferably very non-toxic to life. While visiting my parents, I learned about laculose (a laxative sugar), and intrigued by its action, I looked into how it functioned. Turns out its an 'artificial sugar' which the body cannot metabolize. However its also extremely non-toxic. Could laculose (as a very viscous solution) be used for tumor ablation. My money says yes. The sheer non-toxicity of the substance makes it an ideal candidate. However injected into a tumor, it will very effectively pull out the water from the surrounding material (eg the cancer) killing it. My Dad probably has terminal liver cancer at this point. At an earlier stage ablative techniques could have offered a better prognosis, but we are probably past that now. Cancer typically kills you by obstructing stuff, and so Im currently looking at physical ways of preventing that. From someone who always was squeemish around organs, Ive gone to someone who daily does experiments on pigs liver. This video will not be put into the Patreon supported feed.

my lifes been scrambled since I found out my dad has cancer. Prognosis on HCC is grim. The more complex videos I make take a lot of work, both in planning and production, and realistically theres just no way I can do that at the moment. Im not throwing in the towel on either my dad, or youtube.... but for the moment Im spending most my time reading up about various ablation therapies. Best wishes to you all, Thunderf00t PS, the last video on the magnetic mine was done with my dad (he's the one who owns the triggering mechanism). Might be a couple more videos on other tech. aspects of ww2 on which both me and my dad are big fans.

World war 2 is fascinating in that its the first war, when time and time again, technological developments that occurred during the war were critical in determining the outcome of the war. The first one of these was the german magnetic mine. To say that it rattled the british is kind of an understatement. Churchill said that it 'I fear it may encompass our ruin'. The story of how it was beaten, in part by luck, and in part by skill, is one of the early and frequently untold stories of ww2.

'Cos its FUNNY! this video wont be appearing in the Patreon stream.

Well according to a recent boingboing article..... http://boingboing.net/2015/01/14/how-crowdfunding-helps-haters.html The MERE fact that someone wrote a trolling email to Anita and mentioned my name means that I am a for profit hater. I guess that means that... using the same feminist logic, that Anita Sarkeesian is directly responsible for the crazy guy threatening to 'f*ck me up if its the last thing he does'. After all he directly cite her as one of the people he thinks I've wronged before going all 'captn STABBY'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtHQtfwEEaU&t=19m15s Oh and BTW, if I didnt link to this video, hannibal would bitch that 'you're trying to hide things', and if I do link it he will claim 'you are trying to set your flying monkies on me'. What I do isnt actually important, as long as he gets to complain about it. Its a weird video. He spends the first 1/3rd agreeing with me. He spends the second 1/3rd telling me I dont understand ethics, by agreeing with me. The last 1/3rd is some bitter diatribe about all the imagined crimes that I've committed. Including (apparently) wronging Anita Sarkeesian. Sure I'd actually worked out how to report him to the police. But honestly, that seems SENSIBLE given the threats he was making. I later found some video where it turns out that on top of being a staunch feminist.....he's also an angry drunk who wanders the frozen tundra of Ohio challenging corn stalks to fight him in single combat with a samurai sword. ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- The bottom line is.... CAN YOU IMAGINE... if someone had made threats like this against Anita Sarkeesian? ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- and to all those white knights with their 'its only women who REALLY get harassed!' battle cry.... For me this video form Boogie says it all... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvSXgBmu2Pc Women get it worse than men? MY ARSE!

5 million cartoons of Muhammad exist this week, that didn't exist last week. I cannot think of a more fitting way that people should express solidarity for Western ideals such as free speech, over a religious belief that things it operates above the laws of any country. Its sad though that while many showed solidarity with those massacred in the Charlie Hedbo massacre, that there are still liberals who think that people shouldn't be allowed to offend others. Of those who show contempt for the 'Je Suis Charlie' protests was Jonathan McIntosh of Feminist Frequency. Ironically, also in the news this week was Anita Sarkeesian, who is apparently now living in terror from 'Gamer Terrorism'- even though the last place she talked at, the police (both local and federal) determined she, and everyone else was in no real danger. The ABC report is one of the largest travesties of journalism I've ever seen.

Fun little last minute video. Ended up making this for the kids.... All it takes is some garden wire, a couple of plastic cups, and a couple of metal pots, and maybe some neat little metal door handles. They are actually really quite easy to put together, and are very forgiving! They almost always work!! Happy xmas, and New Year to you all :-)

Justice is blind and carries scales and a sword. Blind to show her lack of prejudice. Scales for weighing the evidence and a sword to mete out justice. Extrajudicial justice is messed up. A lynching is a lynching no matter who is doing it. Its almost always done on prejudice, rarely bothers with hearing all the facts, and frequently will lynch completely innocent people. The justice system, may have many failings, but compared to trial by feminist, its a white gowned angel. I have to admit that making this video made me extraordinarily angry. Going through example after example of where the most egregious accusations had been made, where feminists 'listened and believed' and the proceeded to make a presumption of guilt and lynch by public opinion those accused.

~3000 tons, about 90 % of which was fuel. Thats enough energy to lay waste to a city!

Personally, I would go for 'be excellent to each other' rather than 'dont be a dumbass'.... However for those undermining the aggregate knowledge of mankind... for them Im willing to make an exception! https://richarddawkins.net/2014/11/10000-rethink-prize-announced-to-crowdsource-secular-alternatives-to-the-ten-commandments/ oh yeah... and GRRRRRR!

Ive been playing a lot recently with Kelvin droppers. I have gotten them to do some absolutely incredible things... more than once I've been just been left with by jaw hanging loose with saucer eyes shouting at my equipment that what it was doing was not possible.... and that it should start obeying at least some of the laws of physics. There is something going on here that aint been seen before! I've been thinking about getting a high speed camera... however they are very expensive... and the truth is... for research purposes... the experiment I can do NOW is often worth more than a better experiment I MIGHT be able to do later. So I decided to try some stuff with honey as a cheap, readily available viscous liquid. The idea was that I might be able to get some visual insight into what was going on. The result is stunning. Honey in a strong electric field reacts... once it gets going almost as quickly as water!

Is it a scam? well kinda. For certain when they claim to be the first 'real' hoverboard, this is BS. Others have made 'hoverboards' previously using either magnetic or aerodynamic levitation. Looks like their hoverboard works on magnets rotating over a conducting, but non-ferromatnetic surface. Its basically the same technology as a maglev train. The only difference is they've kinda hybridized it with quadcopter technology. That I've gotta admit is a clever idea. In practice however its almost worthless as it just cannot supply the power to lift ratio to do anything useful. Further the engines only seem to be able to lift their own weight plus 50 % extra. Thats just impractical for any sensible application. They then go on to suggest they will levitate houses with this, to save them from earthquakes, floods and rising sea levels. This is just so stupid its amazing that noone in the mainstream press seems to have picked up on how crazy an idea this is.

#Gamergate: The fight for the radical notion that gaming should be about GAMES!! -and NOT about pushing the social justice political agenda of hipsters by means of a corrupt and ideologically driven gaming media. It takes a degree of 'media studies' degree skill to declare your readership 'dead' as a large section of the gaming media did with #Gamergate. In this ritual act of financial suicide a large section of the 'gaming media' sided with a group of feminists. These feminists could charitably be described as professional whiners in that the thing that they primarily do for attention is whine. At worst they could be assessed on the quality of their arguments. Even more damning, they could be assessed on the financial success of their feminist gaming concepts. Over a year after Anita Sarkeesian pitched her gaming concept..... no one has touched it. Not even feminist indie game developers.

An amazing contrast between how Stephen Colbert handled Suey Park vs Anita Sarkeesian. Whats even more amazing, is just how quickly Sarkeesian was to jetison her opinions about the Colbert Reports audience consisting of 'virtual embodiment of patriarchy’s crowdsourced police' http://femfreq.tumblr.com/post/81708125092/the-cyber-mob-that-is-still-attacking-sarkeesian Anita Sarkeesian BUSTED! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuRSaLZidWI

I was planning to do a full video on this.... and may still do if enough people want to hear about it. This is just a quick video, so I will not be putting it in the Patreon stream. Gamergate video should be up by friday, and that juice vid. is definitely going in the Patreon stream :-) http://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Okay, I had wanted to get a video on gamergate out today... which I gotta say is lookin like a beauty..... but I've been kinda under the weather, and I just couldnt get it done today. However Anita Sarkeesian has been putting some jaw droppingly callous tweets out, blaming 'toxic male culture' (whatever that is) for school shootings, less than 24 hrs after a school shooting. https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/525781140943011841 https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/525834975942164482 Then after this callous act, she blames the backlash on, you guessed it 'toxic male culture'. https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/525850299487883264 In other news, it looks like Stefan Molyneux is going to get his ass sued. http://www.fdrliberated.com/exclusive-stefan-molyneux-sued-for-misrepresentation-defamation/ Not quite sure on all the details, but to be honest, the case against him for abuse of the DMCA is a slam dunk seeing as he's on the record saying he filed copyright takedown notices on a video that 'had nothing to do with copyright'.

Veritasiums explanation for the deflection of water bugged me. A week or so of experimenting later, I had a simple, reproducible experiment that demonstrated that their explanation was wrong. The concept is simple. According to Veritasium, positive ions come out in the water, while negative ones are withheld. This means that in an electrically isolated system, the first water out should be positive, while the reservoir at the top becomes increasingly negatively charged. However ultimately that water must come out too, and when it does, it should be strongly repelled by the charged object. In reality, that doesnt happen, indeed if anything its more strongly attracted, although this is probably due to the last water out moving more slowly. Either way its a pretty clear experiment for showing that the ions do not move back up into the tap as Veritasium suggests. Stunningly there is actually some quite recent stuff on this in the literature (last 10 yrs or so), although Im not so sure I believe any of it. Y'see showing something to be wrong is usually just the first stage in science.... you then gotta show you know whats going on by proposing a model that works. In the week or two of experimenting I did, I got enough clear results to show everything is wrong! I have no coherent explanation that merely explains the obtained results, let alone one that can be used to predict unknowns. FYI, the cones at the end are called Taylor cones and are the core of electrospray which got someone a Nobel Prize in chemistry! Kinda makes it even more weird that its so hard to come up with a fully coherent explanation of why a stream of water is deflected by a charged object. -Simple things don't always have simple explanations!

So the number of people who covered her 'massacre threats' is almost embarrassing. BBC, Time, New York Times, and so the list goes on. Sadly, none of them seem to have bothered to check Sarkeesians history on this sort of thing, or check with the police to see if the threat against her was even remotely credible, or if she was just pulling the damsel in distress act for attention.

10 000 volts.... not so bad! So, in order to get a nice stable field to show the error in veritasiums video, I got a Van der Graaf generator. That was all great.... and I got all the video I needed to show that ion movement wasnt necessary (as veritasium claimed).... and then to show I really knew what was going on.... I did one experiment too many.... then another and another.... until it became very clear I really didnt know what was going on. I had a set of experiments that seemed consistent with veritasium, and another set that were not. Well.... anyways... you can always have fun with a VDG generator! :-) I had intended the original video to go in the Patreon feed.... and IF i do manage to work out what is actually going on, I will put that in the Patreon feed... but not this video!

According to twitter, it looks like Anita Sarkeesian was directly responsible for me being banned from twitter.

However back to Patreon supported material next :-)

for those who think if you ignore the SJW they will just go away, I present this. This is at least as bad as any of the actions creationists would go through to shut people up. The best reckoning seems to be that the SJW have gone through some mass flagging which triggered an automatic ban from twitter. This gels with with the fact that I got no warning from twitter, and not even an email saying the account was suspended. I've tried to contact twitter, but no response so far. Many thanks to all those who supported me here.

Yeah, Im moving on. But you gotta admit is crazy! Anita Sarkeesian and Jack Thompson basically have the same argument.... that video games cause sexism/ violence. However people roundly reject Jack Thompsons arguments, while Anitas wiki page frames those that disagree with her as 'harassers'!

Is it sexist to call someone who is being a dick, a dick? Is it sexist to call someone who is being a bitch, a bitch?

When Jack Thompson got 'death threats' for claiming that video games caused violence.... NOTHING HAPPENED. There was no social justice warrior outrage, There was no outcry that 'death threats to show that video games dont cause violence, thank you for proving my point' There was just complete indifference for his dumbass arguments. Anita Sarkeesian makes EXACTLY the same argument, apart from for her, video games cause sexism, and the 'gaming press' and even several in the main stream media lose their minds.

Always depressing to see the level of scientific illiteracy in the mainstream media and in many cooperation. So Fox News, CBS, The Weather Channel and USA today all had articles on 'aircarbon' which purports to pull carbon out of the air through a hose. They generally try to be as vague as possible, but claim they are making carbon out of the air, and that this will be cheaper than regular plastic. Thats Bullshit on every level. Firstly if they are making a polymer out of carbon dioxide, you need to put a load of energy into it. More than you would have gotten from burning the oil and creating that carbon dioxide in the first place. If they are talking about pulling methane out of the air, they are so full of bull it beggars belief. Methane in the air runs at about one part per million. Just pumping enough air to do this would cost more energy than just making a polymer out of oil. Thirdly, if they are talking about making this polymer from biogas/ biomethane.. then all their claims about making it out of the air are outrageously misleading! Some ball park figures. 1kg of oil makes ~ 1kg of plastic. Methane is about 1 part in a million in air. So to make 1kg of plastic requires 1 million kg of air (1000 tons). Air is about 1kg per cubic meter so to extract 1kg of 'air plastic' from the air would take about 1million cubic meters of air. About the volume of the empire state building!!

After the solar roadways project made all these claims that they were basically ready to start manufacturing their solar roadway panels... turns out, that merely 4 years ago, the thought it would take ~50 million USD. This is ignoring all the other issues they had: -no functional road surface -no plan for road manufacture -no cost realistic plans for implementation of power transport systems.

I simply wouldnt have believed that she was this dishonest. The game "Hitman Absolute" has 20 missions. Of which one includes a strip club. Only 2 parts out of 7 in the mission involve dancers. So about 1 % of this game has strippers in. However if you watch the playthroughs, you will find NO ONE actually attacks or kills the strippers. This is because you are penalized for killing innocent people. I did eventually, after about 60 play throughs find someone who killed the guard and strippers, but they just shot them and moved on. NO ONE viewed the game as Anita Sarkeesian represented it. That is no one got their kicks out of killing the strippers and dragging their bodies around. This does raise the question of where Anita got the footage for this. It seems reasonable that she was directly responsible (in one form or another) for killing the strippers and dragging their bodies around so she could be outraged at what she had just manufactured. (I could find NO footage of where anyone did this... and I went through about 60 playthrus) This really is like saying there is a problem with crime in Utopia. Then when people point out that there is no crime in Utopia, you go around on a vandalism spree simply so you can go back to your feminist funders and say 'JUST LOOK AT ALL THIS OUTRAGEOUS VANDALISM IN UTOPIA!'

The basic word game feminist play to tell you everything is sexist, is they say everything is objects or subjects. They then ignore, that by this method, you can class everyone in society as objects, and just claim that they have shown that women are objects. They then proceed to claim that women are treated like objects (something which is obviously not true) and is therefore sexist. This is particularly evident in Anita Sarkeesians new video where she actually thinks that if you classify someone as an object, then its permissible for you to physically attack them. WHAT PLANET ARE THESE MUNCHKINS ON? She also seems to have a problem with sexy women being used to sell things without realizing that the reason that sexy women are called sexy is primarily because of evolution.

It's been really gutting to see just how much UNCRITICAL attention solar roadways has gotten. In news article after news article, no one did the most superficial fact checking. They have gotten award after award from organizations that should have been able to smell the half baked pseudo-science a mile off.

So the solar roadways has a page up to 'answer' its critics. http://solarroadways.com/clearingthefreakinair.shtml Previously I had suspected that they have no technical expertise, now Im sure. They claim that asphalt is softer than glass. They claim LEDs will be fine for roads because of powerhungry LED billboards or LED traffic lights that work in the shade. People gave them over 2 million dollars for this. You really have to laugh or cry at this. This video was supported by donations of viewers through Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Apparently, they think their solar freakin road panels can be dropping into Afghanistan, because they will have retractable parachutes, satellite dishes, spy cameras, infrared arrays, solar panels, LEDs, roadways. Lets just hope someone doesnt give them, legs guns, AI and a intense desire to kill genetically inferior non-solar based lifeforms!

Ball park numbers: to 25 000 sq miles = 90 bn square meters. At about 4 tiles per m2, thats 240 billion tiles. At 50 LEDs each, thats 12 trillion LEDS. These need to be light up ALL the time you want road markings! 300 LEDs takes about 60 Watts. Cheap electricity is about 0.06 dollars per kW Hr So to run 300 LEDs for 1 hr coast about half a cent. To run 12 trillion LEDs for 1hr costs about 150 million dollars! 4 billion dollars per day, 1.4 trillion dollars per year. They will take more power just to run the LEDs than will be generated by the road!!! And thats not including the cost of building the infrastructure, or the fact that the LED probably will need to be replaced about every 5 years.

Solar FREAKIN roadways is a nice idea, but then again is a pogostick that can hop to the moon as a cheap, reusable trans-orbital vehicle. Is it plausible though. Well it basically proposes the union of 3 or 4 technologies. LED lights, solar panels, and glass roads. Glass really isn't a feasible material to make roads out of. 1) its too expensive. Just coating the US road system with roads would cost many times the federal budget. 2) Its too soft. Even with a textured surface for traction, it will wear away too quickly. Dirt on roads is basically small rocks, which are generally much harder than glass. Imagine taking a handful of dirt and rubbing it a window. Now imagine doing that with the wheels of a 20 ton tractor/trailer. 3) I have doubts about the physical properties of the glass to take the load and mechanical heat stress required of a road making material. Solar panels under the road is a bad idea from the start. If they are under the roads, they are hard to maintain. They will have reduced light from parked cars etc. They are fragile. Not really congenial to the conditions you are likely to get on a road. In many ways building a shed over the road, or just having solar panels by the side of the road is a far better idea. However the power transport really isnt practical. One of the most efficient ways to transport electricity around is as high voltage AC. However to build those lines would probably double the cost of any construction. To bury the cables is even more expensive. LEDs for variable road marking have been partially implemented. They are usually only cost effective in dynamic traffic management systems. For most roads its utterly pointless as the road markings almost never need to be altered. These LED are usually not easy to see (especially in full daylight when the solar panels are meant to be generating power). However solar powered roadways has generated well over a million dollars for Julie and Scott Brusaw (a therapist and an engineer). I'm still on the fence as to if they are just delusional dreamers or (now millionaire) con artists. A lot of this looks like just direct 'what if' daydreaming, but then you get the part of the promotional video where they are shoveling ground up coloured glass into a wheelbarrow, while narrating that they use as many recycled materials as possible in this project.

The majority of the reporting on powdered alcohol seemed to report this as alchemy. That is there was some magic that could be performed on alcohol that would transform it into 'powdered alcohol' rather than what was actually going on here, which is basically absorbing alcohol on a powdered matrix.

Yeah, we are writing a paper on it, which is the prime reason why no one will let me put any of the really good video in here. Scientists can be funny like that.... I personally didnt care that much. We've basically got the best footage of this stuff in the world, and plenty of it. What started with some shitty high speed cameras on the cistern of my toilet a several years ago has escalated into an international and interdisciplinary collaboration. The sad irony is I actually told periodictablevideos pretty much exactly why they were wrong, and what they should look for over a year ago, and they basically told me to get lost. Admittedly at the time I didn't tell them that I'm pretty much an expert on the aqueous properties of alkali metals, having published papers on all but rubidium. But thats the thing with science. Good ideas stand on their merits, not on who's proposing them.

Frankly, when I come across 'criticism' such as that from the youtube channel 'Christian Science and Reason' (a serious channel promoting 'christian science and reason')... I just laugh. I don't get PTSD, I don't cry harassment, I just laugh. The reason is simple, because its just such an epicly bad argument. The internet... where religions come to die!

Weird, weird shit happens when alkali metals such as sodium, potassium and so on react with water. The bottom line is that noone has looked at this sort of thing in detail for about 100 years. It is therefore not unsurprising that no one was crazy enough to try to get close enough to these explosions to see if anything interesting was happening. .....oh boy does interesting stuff happen.

I'm used to professional victim feminists being vapid and narcissistic, but to be honest this one sickened me. I actually know a LOT about the history of war, and the men who fought in them. It is clear to me that no one escapes the horrors of combat without scars.

Ban Bossy was such a stupid idea that it's hard to accept it was the brainchild of a successful billionaire business woman. Then again, on the very day I put this up, Donald Trump, an even more successful billionaire business man tweeted this: "Healthy young child goes to the doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM" Sad really that it came in the same week it was found that autism began long before birth. Sheryl Sandbergs Ted talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18uDutylDa4 Actually worth watching, in that she basically accepts that the different levels of men and women in leadership roles is in large part due to the sexual dimorphic changes taken by those in leadership.

So for a while now I've been examining why the alkali metals explode when they come into contact with water. Turns out that cesium is quite an interesting element to study like this, however it's also almost prohibitively expensive. Cesium Chloride however is a fraction of the cost. If only there was a 'simple' way of converting that cesium chloride into metallic cesium! Many thanks to those who supported this video through Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Rebecca Watson just goes from strength to strength when it comes to saying stupid stuff. Not only does she think that atheists who dont want to hear about feminism would be better people if they started threatening to rape people, she has also backed the 23 and me genetic tests which were widely slammed by the food and drug administration (FDA) for making claims that simply werent supported by the science.

'Ban Bossy' has to be one of the mostly poorly thought out campaigns ever. The basic premise is that women lose interest in leadership because they get called bossy when they are children. However if your ambitions of leadership can be destroyed simply by being called bossy, where you ever leadership material in the first place? Secondly, for some reason, they think that women are weaker than men as it being called bossy only destroys the ambitions of women???? If I said something like that, you can imagine the flak I would get!

Science can frequently take you by surprise, even with the really simple questions, like which will survive liquid nitrogen for longer, a digital clock, or a clockwork one? In each case there are many things that stop the clock from working. The clockwork is of course dependent on moving parts, and if they are stopped from moving, the clock stops. If their properties change enough it will stop working etc. With the digital clock, all sorts of things can stop it from working, the changing voltage of the batteries, the changing properties of the semiconductors, or simply the liquid crystal display freezing. SPOILERS, it was the batterys that froze first (I tested it afterwards by freezing the batteries). That really surprised me, because the batteries are a lot of the mass of the digital clock, and you would therefore expect them to cool down the slowest, while the other components are lighter and would cool down quicker.

So how long would it take for you to freeze your hand in liquid nitrogen? Its probably quite a long time. The principal reason for this is you get lousy thermal contact between yourself and liquid nitrogen. What tends to happen is the liquid nitrogen boils and you get an 'insulating' layer of gas between you and the cold liquid. This is the principal reason why you can dip your tongue briefly in liquid nitrogen, but licking a piece of metal at the same temperature will basically be the end of your tongue!

Ken Ham said enough in his recent debate with Bill Nye to keep me going for a year! This was just one of the more hilarious things he said, where he holds up a diagram from a science paper and claims its like the biblical model. Apart from when you look at the details, the diagram goes back in time ~400 million years, thats 394 000 years before Ken Ham thinks the universe was created. Sure the genetic bottle neck was ~10 000, and not the 2 suggested by Ken Ham, and for some bizarre reason the golden jackals were not killed by noahs flood. But oddly enough if you ignore all of the facts that show the scientific version of events is utterly inconsistent with the creationist perspective, then what you are left with 'confirms the bible'. Just like when you ignore all the evidence that shows the earth is not flat, what remains, by definition is an argument for the earth being flat. Not a very good way to do science!

It stuns me that a man can stand up in a debate seen by millions and claim that conformational bias proves that his god exists.

The Dumbest thing ever said about Nuclear Power? Well it was when I had only watched one or two of his videos, or some of the other videos about fukushima.

Yes, Fukushima really did this to my cat! It also straightened the Leaning Tower of Pisa, assassinated president Kennedy from behind the grassy knoll and painted a comical moustache on the Statue of Liberty. And even at that these claims are more accurate than the conspiracy nut jobs who discuss Fukushima online. Seriously I just bury my head in my hands at seeing and endless stream of category 5 morons who have never so much as picked up a geiger counter, let alone had to deal with ionizing radiation as an occupational hazard spout of an endless stream of fearmongering drivel. Yes according to www.youtube.com/user/BeautifulGirlByDana "Philippines Carnage Direct Result of Fukushima Radiation" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sabVRft-Q4Y The rest of his videos are largely the same too.

Its wall to wall crazies in a panic out there! Original video suggesting that Fukushima is responsible for the high levels of radioactive 'contamination' on the beaches in the Bay Area of California. Personally I dont believe a word of it. Firstly because there's quite a lot of naturally occurring uranium, thorium and radium in california, secondly because beaches are one of the places where geological reworking can happen (eg filtering by density), thirdly because black magnetic sand on those beaches killed one of my remote controlled FPV planes, and magnetic black sand is well known for containing elements like thorium, and lastly, some folks with a energy sensitive radiation meter have claimed to visit this beach and showed that the actual radiation in this instant was coming from thorium. Seeing as there is essentially no fission decay products in nature, you can detect incredibly small quantities of them. No fission decay products were found.

When you can call blugeoning a man to death for picking up sticks on the wrong day of the week good, is there anything left to call evil?

I've always heard you get ~10 - 30 times the background radiation when you are on a cruising jet as you do on the ground. That about 15 times as much radiation as I get when Im doing experiments at a nuclear reactor about 10 m from the core! So I got myself a radiation meter and measured it. The results were fascinating! Some useful numbers for assessing risk: http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/risk.htm Astronaughts get a pretty heavy whack o radiation: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/spacenews/factsheets/pdfs/radiation.pdf even when compared to the Fukushima death map from Greenpeace! http://www.greenpeace.org/international/Global/international/code/2012/Fukushima/img/map-tsushima.jpg Many thanks to those who supported this video through Pateron. http://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Recently it has been widely covered in the media that ~70 members of the US 7th fleet are suing TEPCO (the company responsible for the Fukushima for THREE BILLION DOLLARS. On paper they claim all sorts of cancer, however I can find no interview of anyone with cancer. Further the lawsuit doesnt say what the claims are for. What I do find is interview after interview of people describing non-quantifiable symptoms that are wholly inconsistent with radiation poisoning. The thing that bugs me the most here is radiation is being sold as the 'invisible boogey man' that causes all the ills that you cannot otherwise explain. Sure radiation can cause some serious problems, but then again so can asbestos. But this does not mean you can blame any unaccounted for maladies on asbestos or radiation! In Africa when anything goes wrong (crop failures etc), there are those only too happy to blame witches. The only thing different here is the boogey man is radiation.

Bill O'Reilly has several issues regarding the Bible. The most obvious one is how he thinks that somehow it becomes moral for someone to be killed for picking up sticks on the wrong day of the week, as long as its 'God' doing the killings. Firstly he accepts that there are a lot of laws about slavery in the old testiment (Judeo-Christian), but then goes on to say that this Judeo-Christian philosophy is what the US constitution and declaration of independance was built around.

So this is just a quick off the cuff response to onceforgivennowfree. He had his 'atheists nightmare' video My reply was Why do people laugh at creationist part 40 Now he's gotten up a new video 'thunderf00t is a slavethinker' (or similar) His video is mostly an exercise in shifting goal posts (eg okay, well you answered my first 'atheists nightmare' question, so lets ignore that and just keeps asking questions), and pretty much follows the lines of previous VFX exchanges. That is after being fully routed on anything that can be tested, he now wants to hide behind unanswerable questions, mainly 'is the universe deterministic' which actually has nothing to do with if there is a god or not. That is, even though god has never been shown to be the answer to any previous unanswered questions, he still clings to the hope that the answer to one of the diminishing pool of unanswered questions might be 'god!'

So I recently had to head north of the Arctic circle for a science conference. For me this was my first time north of the Arctic circle and I was REALLY excited about it because even though I've been an astronomer almost all my life, I've never seen the aurora borealis.

Battles can be won on resources alone, and to be honest, even with the better arguments, being outresourced by a factor of 10 looks like a difficult battle to win.

However in reality, I want to do far more than just allow me to make videos full time on youtube, I want to grow this and take it on the offence!

Thorium is an interesting nuclear fuel, but its not magic. It still has many of the inherent problems of all other nuclear power. The very thing that makes nuclear power attractive (a million times more energy than conventional fuel) also carries inherent problems. Nuclear power, suitably tapped is very safe, and a very clear source of power. However the idea of using nuclear power to fuel cars is just bloody stupid. To run a car you need about 200 kW, and the idea of putting a nuclear powerplant in a car that could supply this amount of energy is just bloody stupid on almost every level. original mashable story http://mashable.com/2013/11/07/thorium-power-everything/

Richards Dawkins tweet about his honey being confiscated by the TSA drew a lot of attention this week. Now I've been on the internet a while and have come to the conclusion there are people out there who will ALWAYS hate you. Indeed I have my own little dedicated band of haters. No sooner have I said something bland and uncontroversial like 'the sky is blue' than they will come out saying how I dont know what Im talking about as the sky is black at night. It seems to me that Richard Dawkins has a similar band of folks who are just looking to put the most unfavorable spin on whatever he says, even if what he says has a very valid point at its core. In this case it was about honey confiscated by the TSA. However Dawkins is not the first to raise an eyebrow at the questionable nature of the TSA and NSA. Indeed if I was looking at trivializing their efforts, I could quite happily spin this as 'wow, the US government spent ~7 billion dollars to ensure that the airplanes were not subjected to the horror of Dawkins honey! Thank God we can all sleep safe in our beds now'. For those who have an interest, and because people keep asking, the people at the beginning of the video are a v. popular channel called sourcefed (over 1mn subscribers) Some folks say they were being sarcastic, although if they were, I sure cant detect it, but judge for yourselves! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPC2qwSg4QE

In the second book of the bible, exodus, shortly after 'god' has given the 10 commandments to Moses, god suddenly needs money! Seriously, shortly after creating the universe and everything in it, 'God' needs money. Apparently he couldnt create it, or take it, so he had to get his main man on one tiny region, on one tiny planet in one tiny solar system, in one tiny galaxy etc etc to give him money. This book has been available for thousands of years, and yet people fail to see the obvious that THAT MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!

I recently put up a video which suggested that rape, as with any other risk in life, can be modulated in part by the potential victim. To many this would be a bit of a no-brainer, in that who could possible say 'taking self defense classes has no effect whatsoever on your chances of being raped.' I had figured this would be an uncontroversial and sensible appraisal of the situations. However I reckoned without 'feminist' reasoning. Here, merely suggesting that women can through their choices, modulate their chances of being raped, means that I am a 'rape apologist'! Here is PZ blog on the subject. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/10/02/bringing-back-bad-memories/ and Taslima http://freethoughtblogs.com/taslima/2013/10/03/video-and-tweets-of-a-rapeapologist-misogynist-atheist/ Yup these articles are pretty much what I remember from 'freethoughtblogs' in that they just drip with pointlessly vitriolic invective. PZ Myers deliberately instructs people not to watch the actual video, (the exact quote is "Typical blunderthud, then. So don't watch it.") while simultaneously telling his readers what to thing "It's horrifyingly ignorant, condescending, and oblivious to his own arrogant attitude." -Like I say its amazingly pointlessly hostile invective. Personally Im stunned anyone turns up to watch him spit poison at people he doesnt like. Do they really think this OTT name calling is a 'game winner'? Taslima apparently can't tell the difference between me and a muslim extremist "I felt I was listening to a Muslim fanatic, not an atheist or a humanist. " The sad thing, is do they really think they are going to change minds by just spitting poison at people? They apparently ranted over 'some grey bloke' who wrote some blog which started out with "Yes, I'm biased. There are not harsh enough words in the English language to sum up what I think of Phil Mason." Hmmm, saying within the first 2 paragraphs that you 'hate someone'. Hardly the place to go for a fair and objective appraisal. The bizarre thing is these folks dont seem to have realized that if you have a 'winning argument', you dont need to say how biased, or how much you hate things, the arguments alone will stand on their merits. Like this video.

Many people, when confronted with the fact that -their choice of behavior modulates their chances of being raped- take the very simplistic, and unhelpful line that 'its solely the criminals fault'. While in the eyes of the law this is true, it glosses over the fact that your choice of behavior modulates your chances of becoming a victim. For instance, putting locks on your door reduces your chances of being burgled. Not being alone reduces your chances of being mugged and so on. However frequently when you suggest that peoples actions can reduce their chances of being raped, many people, (notably feminists) view this very differently. They accuse you of supporting rape culture and blaming the victim. Curiously though these people do not suggest that putting locks on your doors is supporting thief culture and blaming the victim. The bottom line there are almost always things you can do to minimize your chances of ending up in a dangerous situation. Advising women that this is not true simply increases their chances of being raped.

To contribute to seeing PZ Myers get sued. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/michael-shermer-legal-fund Other than that, it was very sad to see Dave Silvermans actions this week. It is however not a new trend. Dave Silverman was almost the first in line to voice his support for Amy Roth after her famous 'being reduced to tears by a tshirt' incident at TAM a year or two back. http://thunderf00tdotorg.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/feminist-reduced-to-tears-by-t-shirt/ At the time I figured Dave was doing the politically astute thing (and I have little objection to a little such horsetrading), and wrote some very banal piece that really didnt fit under the title of 'speaking out against hate directed against women'. However since then, again and again, I've heard him sounding more and more like a 'social justice warrior', and less and less like a man whose primary goal is promoting atheism. This has now culminated in the latest American Atheist convention both inviting PZ Myers (the man who has recently published anonymous third hand accounts that Michael Shermer is a serial rapist), and instituting a code of conduct at their convention that prohibits 'harassment based on religion'. The crazy thing being is that if I were to attend the AA conference, I would be expected to display a code of conduct that the institute itself doesnt uphold when it creates its religiously offensive billboards.

So amazingly Conservapedia describes a 'volcano' theory, which suggests that small creatures could have been dispersed great distances after Noahs flood, due to volcanoes.

The BBC recently carried a story about how women are particularly harassed online. This was mostly justified by an interview with a woman who stated that 'men are trained to hate women'. This is just off the wall batshit crazy. You simply cannot sustain such an opinion and still be on planet Earth, and this was the jumping off point for the rest of the story which was about how some guy has written a 'blockbot' to systematically flag peoples twitter accounts. The story contradicts itself on several important facts. Firstly Paul Mason (the reporter here) states he has never been seriously griefed when talking to a troll, even though only 40 seconds earlier in the story he states that he has many abusers on his twitter feed. Not the best evidence for this being a problem specific to women. Secondly he chooses Rebecca Watson (of Skepchick) as his example of women being harassed online. Rebecca Watson, just so we are clear is one of the biggest professional victims around. Indeed if you look at her list of whats shes actually done, making a fuss about being politely asked out for coffee dominates her list of achievements. so here is one of the BBC articles impartially titled 'Is there a tech solution for hatred of women?' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23510635

Conc. sulfuric acid is about 98% sulfuric acid by weight and 2 % water. This is the reaction of potassium with concentrated sulfuric acid.

Is cesium really as reactive as people say it is? Does it catch fire on contact with air? Does it explode on contact with water? etc. Well yes, it is pretty reactive stuff. It reacts with air almost immediately. However if its a lump of cesium, it takes a time to heat up. You get a little film, or drop of cesium in air and it will catch fire pretty quick. And yes, it explodes pretty quick on contact with water. However it really isnt that different in reactivity from sodium potassium alloy, which casts doubt on many of the hand waving arguments about cesium being the most reactive of the alkali metals.

You have lived your entire life on the rock beneath your feet, but have you ever wondered how big it is? Well mid summer this year (2013) you have the opportunity to join in an experiment to measure the size of the earth! The minimum requirements are that you have the ratio of a vertical rods height to its shadow (when its shadow is at its shortest). We will also need your longitude so we can calculate how far north and south we are on this Earth. However even better would be if you could video the hour or two before and after midday, as then we can put the video of shadow lengths together from all over the world such that people can see the geometry of the earth from a different perspective! Either send the details to [email protected] www.youtube.com/user/TheGentlemanPhysicis or post them as a response to this video. Many thanks and I look forward to doing an experiment in laboratory Earth with you :-)

Its actually quite difficult to convince someone that when you are using a toy remote controlled car to trigger a nerf gun to fire explosive metal into water.... that this is actually both a safety feature, and real science!

One of the key features of Anitas most recent 'Tropes vs women' series is that sexist stereotypes in games like Mario are important in determining out attitudes to women in society. The bottom line is this is bullcrap, and the Mario games have no more impact on the promotion of sexist stereotypes than they do on the promotion of cruelty and demonization of turtles. Anita also makes the bold statement that these games promote sexism. Well I've heard many make claims like this about violence and video games. The problem is though, that given the amount of violent video games played, the effect on violence on society must be small to negligible. This is a far FAR stronger case than Anita has for claiming that Mario like games promote sexism.

Darkmatter2525 recently exposed Thecartesiantheist as doing some of the most reprehensible stuff you can imagine. Impersonating someone to mess up their real life. Shortly after this, a twitter account that had been impersonating me started posting photoshopped pictures of me naked and masturbating. The account has been retweeted again and again by coughlan616 aka coughlan000. Coughlan has previous form for being involved in setting up accounts impersonating me and photoshopping pictures of me masturbating to them. This is the thing. These folks can be as spiteful as they want, I just don't care. But you cannot impersonate people with the intent of ruining their reputation. Thats ****messed up, whether its being done by a christian to mess up an atheist, or by the likes of coughlan and his buddies to mess up my life.

Some thoughts on the sad events that took place in Boston this week.

Yup, the intellectual artillery of atheism plus now thinks Im an amoral sociopath incapable of feeling any human emotion. Odd I thought this was simply lashing out because his talk at the American Atheist convention got shitty ratings. Now you might think thats jumping to conclusions, but virtually every time Carrier mentions his talk, he begs people to upvote it if they support him. Its not really even my doing either, his talk had v. poor ratings before I even mentioned it. Lets be real Atheism Plus is just something that has poisoned its own well by its antisocial behavior. Richard Carriers blog by the way is an absolute scream. I've not laughed so much at such over the top drama queen antics for years! The whole things is crazy long (~ 8000 words), but I would recommend the conclusions! http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/3364 Richard Carrier speech at the American Atheists convention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au2i3xxgv7U&t=10m30s While I've got a few more videos to make on feminism (cos lets be real, a lot of this feminism is as batshit crazy as any creationism), I dont intend to stick with this long term. However for the meanwhile, its just sickening to see all these PC liberals fritter away the communities reputation of having 'big hitters' at its core to having professional victims and whiners at its core.

So Richard Carrier got up at the American Atheists Convention 2013 in Austin, TX and gave a speech about how we should all adopt atheism plus. I really have a problem with someone saying 'I have the best moral values, and you will be disowned by our clique if you dont adhere to them'. Who appointed him sole moral arbiter for atheism? Secondly, his retelling of the story of how he merely advocated for reasonableness, integrity and compassion and got compared to Hitler is outragously dishonest when one compares it to his original post (one he has since re-edited to amend history). He talks about disowning people as cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers, and then describes this as merely advocating reasonableness, integrity and compassion. This is about as honest as watson and co getting all the shit they do for the really stupid shit they say, and portraying the backlash that anyone who says something dumb online gets as SEXISM! Richard Carriers speech can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au2i3xxgv7U You can also find his blog where he begs people to undo the work of the 'haters' who are downvoting his video. A curious behavior since in his talk he asks people to downvote stuff they dont approve of as a 'social punishment'. http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/3351 Carriers original blog on Atheism plus can be found here: http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/2207 Oddly enough, he has since toned down some of the language. Something he fails to mention in his talk.

This channel is supported through Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t In this video I take to task Feminist Frequencys latest video on 'Tropes vs women: the damsel in distress' I have two main problems with her video, the first is the way she takes a very, VERY natural response, like wanting to protect your loved ones, as for instance a damsel in distress, and turns this into objectifying the damsel in distress. This is simply bollox. Most people are perfectly capable of wanting to protect a loved one without thinking of them as an object. Secondly is turning the games industry into some patriarchal conspiracy out to subjugate and objectify women. This is simply delusional, the games industry only cares about turning a profit, which it does by turning out fun games that people like to play. I also find it rather weak that she holds up the 'pity shield' and adopts professional victimhood as seen in her ted talk. The conspiracy she paints is pretty paranoid. The reality is, pretty much everyone who wildly expresses an controversial opinion forcefully on the internet gets hatemail. In Anitas case, I think the majority of hatemail she got was simply because she was talking bollox. Thats always kinda a button issue on the internet!

If you take sodium (a soft, but solid metal) and potassium (a somewhat softer but still solid metal) and mix them together you get a beautiful liquid. However this liquid really is beauty and the beast in that when it reacts with water it releases about 6kJ per gram of energy. Thats about one and a half times more energy then that released by TNT exploding! I had always assumed the reaction between the alkali metals to be fairly well understood, however the more I've looked into these reaction, the more complicated and fascinating they become. I mean REALLY fascinating. You may have also seen a recent video by periodicvideos where they claim this is all very well understood. Thats simply bollox, and you dont have to scratch very deep in the literature to realize this is the case. Indeed you only have to look at the paper they dig out to show how 'well understood' this is. This paper, is closer to a hypothesis on thermal explosions. Difficult to see how thats relevant to a heterogeneous chemical explosion where the reaction generates hydrogen that keeps the reagents separate.

It takes about 300 milliseconds (0.3 seconds) to blink your eye. Fire can quite happily start in about the same time I recently found myself in a lab with some ultra high speed cameras (filming alkali metal explosions) and this was one of the few cool things I filmed on the side!

Video contest is now over.

I think I've finally come up with a reasonable explanation as to why alkali metals explode. In the rare event of a good contact between the metal and the water (usually hydrogen generated on the interface keeps the reagents separate), the electron transfer happens rapidly, leading to this situation: Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ OH- OH- OH- OH- OH- H H H H H Now the sodium and the hydroxide being next to each other isnt a problem as they attract, but having the cations next to the cations, and the negatively charged hydroxides next to each other will create a force moving these ions apart. This will cause new sodium atoms and water molecules to come to the surface. This is the sort of positive feedback mechanism that you need in order to get and explosion. Now I have to tip my hat here periodicvideos here as it was their new footage that got me thinking about this problem again. Sure I had loads of high speed studies of this, but had ultimately come to the conclusions that whatever was happening was beyond the capability of my camera. However the periodicvideos camera looks to run at ~1000 frames per second, and they are still probably an order of magnitude outside of the regime they need to be looking at. Sodium is also a poor choice as it tends to explode less, and just stably fizz on the surface. Probably the best target for getting the required results is 300mg (1/3g) of potassium in a good quality wine glass filmed from underneath. Potassium almost always explodes in relatively short order, and I never got these sorts of quantities to destroy the glass. There are also a LOAD of other smaller things that make me grind my teeth in these videos as you really dont have to think long or hard to work out that these are either urban myths or bullshit. Like saying the guy in the middle of the explosion is more likely to survive because the explosion goes out from where he is. If he is in the middle of the explosion, the gas will have permeated his clothes. Any exposed skin will suffer burns from the ~2000 degree fireball. Further the pressure wave will also mess you up pretty badly. Its far more likely that someone sets off the explosion will actually set off a limited burn, that can lead to a explosion elsewhere. Let me put it another way, these is all demonstrated by the example of a hydrogen oxygen explosion. They guy standing a few meters away very sensibly has ear protectors on. Had he been in the middle of that when he set it off it would have messed him up royally! At the simplest level he would be stood in the middle of a 3000 degree fireball!

So how do you fly on nothing, nothing at all? The answer is kind of tied to the cliffhanger from my last video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgGghuA2r78 ). Turns out the most buoyant thing you can put in a container is nothing, absolutely nothing. A vacuum! So a vacuum balloon would be more buoyant than either a hydrogen or a helium balloon! So why haven't we made one yet? Well it turns out that making large light vacuum containers is technically very challenging. It certainly hasn't been possible to date, but its my reckoning that with modern materials, it should be possible to create a vacuum balloon. Further I just think it would be sooooo cool to actually have a balloon that floats on nothing... quite literally nothing!

So one of the thing that amazed me about the periodic table videos slow motion hydrogen burns was the strange flame patterns (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOTgeeTB_kA). Initially its all well behaved as the flame propogates around the hydrogen air boundary, then this great flame shoots through the middle of the hydrogen cloud. Now that for me was fascinating as there shouldnt be any oxygen there. Closer inspection of the nature of the burn suggests that what is going on here is a conservation of momentum type problem. Initially there is zero momentum. Then the balloon is burst and flies off to the left meaning that in order to conserve momentum, the gases must move to the right. This is what provides the tongue of fire. Now this can be fairly easily tested by looking at a heavy gas, like butane. Ysee in a hydrogen balloon, most of the mass is actually in the balloon, where as with a butane balloon the opposite is true. This leads to some interesting observations.

From sea to shinning sea! Yup, they quite litereally go from NY state, to the pacific ocean! So I was actually looking for all my old slow motion footage of hydrogen burns and explosions and came across a LOAD of really quite fun footage that had been left on the cutting room floor.... and so before you can say 'clip show'. However in this case, virtually all of the clips have never been seen before. This is all a prelude to a video from periodic table videos where they pose the question, when hydrogen burns in a flame, it does so with an almost colorless flame (see space shuttle engines). However when its burned from a balloon it has a reddish tinge to it... why? Now I thought that was a very straightforward problem with a very simple answer. However simple answers are not always right.... this is where experiments come in :-)

Do good looks actually work for or against you on youtube? Well if it was a straight attention economy, then obviously yes. However much of what goes on here on youtube is about communication, and there a lot of this 'free attention' really does get in the way. For me its a tricky question. I've long suspected that if I was a pretty young girl, it would be a LOT easier to get peoples attention. However the flip side is not all of that attentions where you want it to be. Now I've got a lot of respect for Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks, primarily for the stellar example she gives of how to deal with online criticism. This factor should be stressed as Ana is kinda pretty, and as expected, gets a lot attention for it, and not all of it is pretty or where she wants it to be. However her ability to ignore the simplistic chatter and stay on target has to be admired. If only we had more women like this in the secular community. Yknow the simple stuff, lead from the front, lead by example etc etc. TYT https://www.youtube.com/user/theyoungturks Ana Kasparian https://www.youtube.com/user/AnaKasparian

I agree completely with Dave Silverman on this, that the organizer of The Reason Rally, and President of American Atheist that above all conferences should be fun! Thing is its difficult to do that with professional victims always trying to make the whole bloody conference about them. This is a distraction we can do without! Further having people like the girl in this video (President of some University Secular society (or similar) going around suggesting that rape threats are currently acceptable at conferences is a prime example of why this sort of feminism is poisoning atheism. Of course if you go around MISINFORMING people that credible rape threats are not considered harassment at such conferences, you are going to put women off attending such conferences. Finally, I am really interested on you how you think, given a few thousand dollars we could inject some new life into the youtube video producing community. http://thunderf00tdotorg.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/10-000-dollars-to-encourage-rational-video-makers-your-help-needed/ Already got a preliminary thumbs up from 3 judges: Eugenie Scott, Elizabeth Cornwell and ZOMGitscriss.

Yeah, 'Feminism' is in quotes there for good reason. Equality is great, but thats not really what this is about. Its about a small bunch of PC whiners who suggest such outrageous things as 'there is an active debate online at the moment as to if women in the secular community should be either eye candy and f*ck toys for the privileged white men, or equal colleagues' (PZ Myers). Well they to create this boogie man as a scare tactic to get 'harassment' policies in place. Now if you had sane, stable and rational people in charge of such things, I wouldn't have a problem, but the thing is the PC whiners who want to be in charge of this basically want policies that echo their fringe feminist beliefs (yknow, things like there being a discussion if women are f*ck toys for privileged white men). They also seem to want this policy to protect them from criticism. That is you shouldnt have the right to say things that might offend people at a conference, because thats almost as bad as physical assault. PZ Myers talks on AtheismTV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jszbryanTeU

Xmas day, 2012, and the Moon passes REALLY close to Jupiter (a conjunction). The cute thing is that with a camcorder (and not anything too high end either) you can get both a reasonable view of the moon and zoom in and see the moons of Jupiter. Indeed this is probably within the reach of most video cameras made over the last few years. All this was specifically done with a canon HD video camera (Vixia HF S20) which was over a year old.

William Lane Craig has now said that the school massacre in the Newtown school massacre, were actually part of 'God' reminding us about the original slaughter of children by Herod in the bible. Of course, when you look at the Herod story, the thing that really strikes you is just how pointless the whole thing was. God sends a star to guide the wise men, but its not a very good guide, so they end up going to see Herod. Herod then is told about 'the King of the Jews' and tries to trick the wise men into finding Jesus for him. However ONLY then does god seem to pay any attention and sends a dream (SMS of the bible) to the wise men telling them not to see Herod again. After that Herod goes and kills all the children in Bethlehem. Now firstly if God had told the wise men in a dream in the first place to not go see Herod, no one would have died. Secondly, if 'God' was willing to send a dream for the wise men, why not for the parents of the children about to be killed? And this is Craigs justification for why the school shooting was actually a reminder of how God needed some more friends. One can't but help think if Craig would have been quite so keen to describe this as a message from god if it had been his children who had been killed. Original video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYHd2F3vnL4

This is why religion poisons everything. After such a tragedy, all eyes should be focused on what the actual causes were and ways of preventing it from happening again. Instead you have religious sorts like the ex-presidential candidate Mike Huckerbee going around speculating that not telepathically telling a magic man (that no one has ever seen) that they loved him meant the magic man felt spurned and rejected and so decided not to help while a real man with a bushmaster assault weapon gunned down 30 or so children and teachers. For my part, I think that banning assault weapons is an obvious, and practically efficient place to start.

So in this video I put an ipod to look down the beam of one of the most intense neutron sources on the planet, and the light show you see is not that far off a spectacular version of what the Apollo astronauts saw when they were on the Moon! So why didnt the ipod need to be burried in the ground for 20 000 years as radioactive waste? Well, turns out how radioactive stuff gets when its hit by neutrons depends on what elements are present. In this case we knew that none of the stuff in the ipod was likely to get very active. This was confirmed by subsequent radiation screening.

Its a crazy thing that an awful lot of superheros are born from an radioactive disaster of some sort. Dr Manhattan and the intrinsic field generator, Spiderman being bitten by a radioactive spider, and of course the Incredible Hulk and his gamma ray overdose. In reality of course places where you can get exposed to such radiation have a LOT of safety features. Take for instance the reactor in this video, its got something like 5 failsafes. 5 rods can be dropped into the reactor, each of which will kill the criticality in milliseconds. They are held up by electromagnets, so if the power fails, they drop under gravity into the reactor. If somehow they don't drop under gravity, they can be pushed by compressed air. Anyways, this is a little taster of what its like to work inside a nuclear reactor! :-)

So I got a little time in a fairly nicely equipped lab. Just decided it would look better if it was on fire!

12th Nov 2012 and I've arrived at the reactor! Indeed I can even see it from my bedroom window in the guesthouse.

In couple of days I will be at the reactor, and hopefully within about a week I will be doing neutron beam live. The idea is to start a google hangout from the ipod, then.... from a very safe distance lower the ipod into a neutron beam. Even I'm not entirely sure what this will look like, or if the ipod will survive the ordeal. Even if it does, that might not be the end. On site is also one of the most powerful x-ray sources in the world. If it survives the neturons, it may well get a healthy dose of 'white beam' which would probably just cut the ipod in half! I will also be doing a fairly rough and ready video blog while at the reactor, as there is so much frickin cool stuff there!

Mitt Romneys has some pretty crazy beliefs about the end of the world. My mommy always told me to keep religious nutters away from nuclear weapons, and that his was a policy you should start at home!

Neutronium was the material used in the hull of the doomsday machine in Star Trek. Now I'm not terribly sure what the mechanical properties of neutronium would be like. It certainly is very dense (about a billion tons per cm3, about the volume of the end of your little finger), but it interacts with matter only weakly. I would expect both it to be pretty inefficient at stopping both electromagnetic radiation (neutrons only have a magnetic moment), and matter. However in reality there's a somewhat bigger problem. When neutrons are outside of the nucleus of atoms, or are outside the huge pressure that exists in neutron stars, they have a half life of about 10 minutes. To make it even more awkward, when a neutron decays, it releases about a MeV of energy. So put a few extra numbers into this, like a mole of neutrons (6e23 neutrons) weighs about a gram, and a ton of TNT is 4e9 Joules and you can work out that just the neutrons in your typical human (about half your body weight), will release about the same energy as a megaton (one million tons of TNT). A little more scratching around on half life calculations and you can work out that if you have a half life of 10 minutes, then you will release about 1 part in 1000 of its total energy in the very first second. This means that if you could extra merely a ml of neutronium, and free it from that immense pressure, then it would release the same energy as 15 million Czar bombs (the largest man-made bomb ever) in the very first second.

Here we take a look at protein folding. Not a subject that blows a lot of people skirts up I know, but it's actually a great way of showing how calculating the odds of things happening at random really is kind of pointless if THEY DON'T HAPPEN AT RANDOM! Sure with protein folding, as with evolution, random chance does play a factor. But in both cases, random chance isn't the only thing that determines a trajectory! In the case of protein folding, it's the free energy of the protein configuration, with evolution it's environmental selection. Incidentally, doing these HD rendering is really taxing my hardware, so I've started a chipin site for those who would like to help me get some hardware more suitable for making these sorts of videos.

In some Amazing facts about life we took a very general overview of pretty much everything! How nuclei and electrons form atoms, how some atoms stick together to form molecules, and how one subsection of those is the bio-molecules which make up life. In this part we take a look in a little more detail at one of those sets of biomolecules, specifically the proteins. How the amino acids are actually really simple mixes of some of the most abundant nuclei in the universe, and how they have even been found in space. How the amino acids stick together to form proteins, and how these can do things, like transport oxygen. Its also briefly touched on how mutations can lead to proteins with somewhat different functions and how this can lead to evolutionary change. In the next part I will finish up with the proteins and get onto the nuclear physics we need to study this system :-D

Life can be pretty amazing, but what exactly is it at its core? Life at its simplest is basically a series of chemical reactions that can replicate themselves. Now all life we have yet come across is tied up with water. Waters a really common, and really polar molecule: theres nothing else really like it. Its strong polar interactions make it an excellent solvent for pretty much anything polar, and also a terrible solvent for non-polar molecules like oil. Life is interesting in that its a subtle interplay of things that are soluble, and not soluble in water. This leads to the changes in the structures of biomolecules that in the end play a key role in life. Sorry about the reupload btw. Original video had a couple of mistakes in it.

However, the Department, it being a Saturday, will be locked. In order to attend you will have to be outside the building at 3.30pm. If you are there at that time you will be let in by Professor Moriarty. If you are not there at that time we will not be able to let you in. Yup, the reactor is all booked up for November 2012. That gives me about a month on and off to explain all the important stuff such that when I do get into this reactor you will have a good idea of whats going on! Its really quite fun when you do though, you will never look at the universe in the same way again.... kinda like that bit at the end of the Matrix when Neo see the agents as they really are. The naked universe is kinda like that..... and very, VERY awesome!

The last Venus transit till 2117 and who knows what the world will look like when that happens! This is footage both in the visible and H-alpha wavelength of the Venus transit of 5th June 2012. I watched it from near the power substation for the Keck Observatory, about one vertical mile below the summit (although I was still at an altitude of ~ 10 000 ft, ~ 2miles). This whole trip was put together at incredibly short notice. Indeed this was my first attempt at solar timelapse and my first attempt to use the H-Alpha telescope to do it. Knowing nothing about such things, it's usually my reckoning that it takes about 3 attempts to get good at this sort of thing. If I had know more about H-alpha telescopes, I would have certainly spent more on one. The solar scope I got cost about 1000 bux (in europe where i was at the time), but if I had really known what I was doing I should have probably spent 2-3x that amount. However even if I had known that, it was not clear I would be able to buy such a telescope in time, and even if I could, when I travelled to Hawaii, virtually ALL of my weight allowance was tied up in equipment (plus a change of underwear). Even at that, I borrowed a tracking mount from a local and very well equipped astronomer friend (MANY thanks Chris) without which this simply wouldnt have been possible. I've got to say that given the constraints that I had (inexperience, lack of proper kit, lack of transport ability lack of time etc etc) I'm actually very happy with the way this turned out. I know of people who had far more (and much better) kit than me there who came away with very disappointing results, mostly due to the dust and wind! I've had a blog mostly finished on this for some time now. Hopefully will get it finished in fairly short order after this. Oddly enough though, for me one of the most golden moments of the transit required only a piece of baader film and a naked eye. So using the film to safely look at the sun, you could easily see Venus as a black spot on the Sun, and in that moment, it became very easy to perceive (the movement was so slow you could not directly see it) the dynamic movmement of the solar system. The rotation of the Earth as the sun dipped towards the horizon, and Venus orbiting the Sun, as it slowly drifted across the solar face. I should also add a big thanks T and D for helping out with this trip, and particularly in taking me snorkling (first time in my life... and with good reason, Im a bad swimmer). It was there that we came across the turtles which was a moment that really stuck with me. Also a big wave to L and A for shitz n giggles in the near equatorial sun! -Wearing a bikini has never been so much fun :-) Programs used Celestia (Free and brilliant, if only a little fiddly to use, DL it now!) http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ and of course googleearth (also v. powerful and mostly free)

http://twitter.com/thunderf00t blog at http://thunderf00t.org The software used to make this video is free! It's called celestia, and while it can be a little awkward to use, when you know what you are doing it's very powerful. www.shatters.net/celestia/ (their website is currently down ) :-( Just some rough conversions. 1 year is ~ 30 mn seconds (30 000 000s) 1 light year (distance) is ~ 30 mn light seconds (30 000 000s) 1 light year per second (velocity) is ~ 30 mn x speed of light. ~5 minutes, length of this video ~5 years ago, the iphone ~40 years ago, man walks on the moon ~150 years ago, first electric lightbulb ~400 years ago, enlightenment ~4 000 years ago, pyramids ~50 000 years ago, first human art ~5 000 000 years ago, first human use of fire

Looks like this description is too long, so I will post it on my blog @ http://thunderf00tdotorg.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/freethoughtblogs-and-pc-lyers/ So PZ Myers is the man who gave me his personal assurances that Freethougthblogs really didn't have any interest in controlling the content. This was evidently a verbal assurance made in bad faith. The rough time-line is one week before I was banned, PZ sent this to some mailing list Freethoughtblogs has: 'There is no policy requiring that you ignore fellow FtBers. If you see something you don't like, rip into it. That goes for everyone here. Except me. I'm perfect, don't you dare say otherwise' Well that's basically what I did, and what's more I even told them on their mailing list. Then I week later, PZ kicks me. Maybe he wasn't joking about that ' Except me. I'm perfect, don't you dare say otherwise' bit! This was done without any consulting the other members of the network giving this a very totalitarian 'execution' type feel. Everyone else on the groups was told of my 'expulsion' AFTER it happened, I mean hell, they wouldn't have wanted an actual discussion or to give anyone the possibility to dissent about what is permissible 'freethought' on freethoughtblogs now would they! Now I really didn't care about offending these people at this point as on their mailing list I had already been accused of being a 'rape culture apologist' (FFS, I don't think I've even touched on the subject), guilty of ablism, devaluing addicts, an not being careful between challenging islam and outright racism. All of this based on NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER (well that's unless you are happy to count rumors as evidence). To be honest, I was hoping that there would be a higher standard of conduct that that, but the chatter made it clear that FTB really was somewhere between a bitching slimepit, and Strawman City. It was also plain to me from just watching the chatter on this mailing list that there was a significant amount of bullying of weaker members/ opposing viewpoint. If this was an academic environment I would have called bullshit on them in an instant, however by this time it was clear the standard of people that I was dealing and that as a group they were essentially a lost cause. I was happy to write a blog there (which on inspection looks like it was pulling in ~10 % of the FTB site traffic (FTB claims to get some 150k views a day, my blog was pulling in some 10-15k hits per day)), but I certainly wasn't going to waste my time ingratiating myself with such people. As an entirely peripheral note, FTB never paid me a penny, (again something that PZ said they would), but to be honest I have no interest in such things. Integrity IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN money. So I blogged about something which, and I quote, 'I thought they were way off base on', in the disproportionate amount of time they gave sexism compared to other subjects, and the way they attacked an demonized people who bought up sensible concerns. I had expected that PZ (an university lecturer) would at least keep his word on the academic integrity thing, but to be honest, after about the 3rd day after posting my first article, it was clear that wasn't worth spit. When a man is willing to jettison the value of his word so readily, I was under no illusions ' If you see something you don't like, rip into it. ' in reality meant that you should only rip into it as long as PZ thought it was okay. However, I was not going to be bullied into submission by a bunch of second raters, and so despite a series of threats, and Ed Brayton making it clear that if I felt PZ hadn't kept his word I was free to leave 'and not let the door hit your ass on the way out', and that 'no one would miss me'. That's right, the fact that PZ way lying to people faces to get people into the blog really didn't phase anyone at freethoughtblogs at all! Nor did such explicit threats on the mailing list seem to phase anyone else (no one stepped forward to question such action), which I think shows that bullying is just so widespread on FTB that it is the socially accepted norm (that's unless like me, any of the competent people there simply regarded FTB as a lost cause, or at least a cause not worth fighting for). Anyways, it turns out the 'cover story' for PC Lyers banning me was that I made an argument that existed nowhere outside of his head. PZs saying he banned me for being a troll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsiXRYUQ7yA For PZ doing his stuff at strawman city http://freethoughtblogs.com/thunderf00t/2012/06/26/ffs-pz-myers-enough-with-the-strawmen/ For his exact quote see: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/06/25/misogynists-can-think-women-are-tasty-while-not-recognizing-that-they-are-human-beings/

The short version, PZ Myers gave me his personal assurances that I would have the freedom to talk about whatever I wanted on freethoughtblogs. I did talk about an issue that I thought FTB was way off base on (addressing sexism at conferences), and PZ Myers kicked me because of it. Further a friend has now informed me that freethoughtblogs is changing its policy, and they do not intend to repeat the 'mistake' of giving people the freedom to talk about whatever they want again. *SLOW HAND CLAP FOR FTBs* You can send a tweet to PZ Myers by using @PZmyers The longer version: Yup, PZ Myers wrote to me giving me an ultimatum, 'please resign' with the childishly obvious subtext, else we will ban you from freethoughtblogs. I was actually stunned by this as this was the same man who less than six months earlier when we first discussed this in DC had given me his personal assurances that freethoughtblogs (yes there are witnesses willing to corroborate this) didn't try to control content, and we were free to talk about whatever we wanted. You have to remember that the origin of freethoughtblogs was because PZ Myers wanted somewhere where he could post free of the controls of Nat. Geo. The betrayal of academic integrity over something as transient as a disagreement with the opinion of the plurality on freethoughblog on their political stance on feminism seemed to me, well I've got to be honest, unbelievable. I really expected the man to act with some sense of academic integrity, and not to jettison it completely at the first opportunity. There is also a litany of other reason why I do not hold freethoughtblogs in high regard. Chief among these was their pressure on me to yield to someone WHO STATED THAT THEY WERE USING COPYRIGHT LAW (not for protection of copyright) BUT TO STIFFLE DEBATE. Yes, ftb were quite happy to enable the tactics used by the likes of VFX, kent hovind, answers in genesis and a horde of others to stifle debate. But thats a story for another day.

The article: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/06/25/misogynists-can-think-women-are-tasty-while-not-recognizing-that-they-are-human-beings/ So who is closer to the mark here?

So me, Crissy, and Aronra have all joined freethoughtblogs: http://freethoughtblogs.com/thunderf00t/2012/06/25/misogynist/ http://freethoughtblogs.com/aronra http://freethoughtblogs.com/cristinarad http://freethoughtblogs.com/zinniajones The rest of this vid is a brief excursion into ground I usually don't tread for strategic reasons. I'm just tired of those presenting sexism as some horrible injustice at atheist conferences (by reporting troll comments as symptomatic of a problem (other than not feeding the trolls)) when in reality its a very minor issue. This takes focus away from more useful ventures, and also makes the community look like a bunch of incompetents, incapable of focusing on more important issues.

Yup it was a bloody long way to go to see this, but it is the last transit of Venus for over a hundred years, and seeing it with the naked eye as it moved across the Sun from the upperside (evening sky) to the lower (morning sky). Amazing to watch the dance of the solar system in real time! This is more just a video summary, I still have to process a lot of this video to make the 'top shelf' stuff. Might take a week or so. In the meanwhile enjoy the compilation :-) The music is Creative Commons attribution: zero-project - 02 - Still breathing Album Earth by artist zero-project http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/373268/zero-project-02-still-breathing

When to see it: http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/venus-transit.html Where to see it: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1f/Visibility_of_2012_Transit_of_Venus.jpg.png/650px-Visibility_of_2012_Transit_of_Venus.jpg.png So looks like Im almost ready to go. Im going to have at least 3 timelapses running of this. One in visual light (90mm mak. Cassigrain), one in H-alpha (Colorado 'personal solar telescope'), and one of everything else that's going on (180 degree fisheye). I've dry tested the kit as much as I can, but it experience says that something always goes wrong with projects this complicated. Once again, many thanks to all those who have supported this channel over the years. Indeed if you think projects like this are worthy of support, there is a donations link on the front page.

So this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NMqPT6oKJ8 asks the question, 'what would happen if you put your hand in the beam of the large hadron collider. However the answers were more speculation that varied from burning a hole in your hand to blowing it off. This is my attempt to more accurately answer the question, what would happen if you put your hand in the beam of the large hadron collider.

Pakistan Blocks Twitter of Draw Mohammad Day 3, then reinstates it ~ 12 hrs later. Covered by almost 1000 news articles. Its difficult to imagine that without the previous Draw Mohammad days that with this level of public impact that there wouldnt have been some reaction akin to the burning down of half a dozen embassies that followed the first dozen or so drawings of Mohammad. Indeed after well over 10 000 drawings of mohammad, how can anyone get upset about just one more? Every action counts, and the thousands of people who have drawn Mohammad, or tweeted Mohammad, have all had an effect.

Yup apparently Pakistan has already blocked twitter over Draw Mohammad Day! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/21/world/asia/pakistan-blocks-twitter-over-cartoon-contest.html 0-|-= Mohammad, Yup that's him, Get over it! #DrawMohammadDay #DMD #DMD3 #DMD2012 #HamzaKashgari #DeathFor3Tweets (Remember to include hashtags when you tweet Mohammad!) (Youtube wont allow Greater than signs in the comments so I had to improvise!)

1) expect the LHC video up this friday! 2) MSS show tonight at http://www.blogtv.com/people/magicsandwich Time http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Magic+Sandwich+Show+-+13+May&iso=20120513T20&p1=1319 Dr William Lane Craig has been invited, but as of yet has yet to extend us the professional courtesy of a reply. 3) Draw Mohammad Day III. This time its on Twitter! May 20th 2012. o-\-- (Mo legs are cut off cos the description prohibits LT signs) Mohammad, Yup, thats him! 4) European Atheist Convention, 25-27th May 2012 http://www.ibka.org/en/convention2012 5) The transit of Venus. The last one you will have to see in your lifetime happens on June 6th. To have a good chance of seeing all of it you basically need to go to Darwin Australia or Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Ideally I would have liked to have done a lot with this, but as you can see, its kinda a busy month! If you want me to go and cover it though, Ill see what I can do about getting it all done from Hawaii!

Love thy neighbor as thy self, unless hes a Moabite or some thing, in which case feel free to slaughter them man, woman child and ox. Yup the bible at times reads like the end of The Unforgiven. ' Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.' Now compare to Joshua 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. The really obscene thing though is religion can make a sane man stand up in the front of an auditorium at Oxford University and justify the slaughter of children. I am still stunned that they just sat there while he calmly went through and explained why killing children as 'spoils of war' was actually a supremely moral act, and a joyous occasion for all involved in that this was the day that these children were to be blessed with the ultimate gift of having their earthly phase of life being terminated. Just to put this into a modern context, if any of these slaughters for 'God' had been performed using gas chambers, would there still be lines of christian queuing up to justify this by the infinite blessing the children received?

So I'm going over this video and I'm accused of deliberately omitting the dates to mislead people on Craigs publication record. Not only did that seem peculiar, the video had clearly been edited. Yup, the William lane Craig supporter (thecartesiantheist) actually edited the dates out of the video then accused me of dishonestly omitting this. The original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emZlovxLZUM&t=4m42s The 'lying for jesus edit' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NbnDYhpHkE&t=2m12s This is so dishonest it beggar belief! Really REALLY beggar belief. The original video shows that I was completely honest. So he had to edit the video to take out all the honest information such that he could accuse me of omitting it. Indeed I really wouldn't have noticed had I not interacted with him recently where he showed a comparable level on integrity. He made a video addressing DPR criticism of William Lane Craig. I suggested he turn up on the MSS to address those points. He messed me around, he wanted a one on one 'formal debate' (yeah this guy uses the word formal as much as nephilimfree), he wanted me to debate him now in the comments. I just gave up and left the comment 'meh, the offer was made to give you the forum you have been repeatedly requesting. You elected to decline. That is all.' It turns out that despite this CLEAR message, he turns up to the show anyways, vocally claiming we had agreed to have him on. Even more ironically, because he was so late to the show (about an hour late), he spent all of his time in waiting room 3 and no one was even aware that he was there. He has since been going around spinning this story in a not dissimilar way to the above video, that we had agreed to have him on (not true), that we knew he was there (not true) and that we were cowards etc etc. The moral of the story is clear, if you are going to eat tuna, expect bones, and if you are going to deal with a apologist, expect dishonest!

Presuppositional apologetics laid bare! The core of the argument is, 'my proof that god exists is that I assume that god exists'. Yup, I believe we have reached the apex of lazy arguments for god. Eric Hovind looks to be trying to make a name for himself with the 'great argument' for god. Now having seen Erics track record, I don't think I'm far from the mark when I say Eric, with his years of home-schooling from his daddy, the convicted tax-fraudster Kent Hovind, has be scouring the place for an argument so simply that he can make it, and he's found it in Presuppositional apologetics. Now, according to him, he doesn't need to know anything, all he needs to do is assume that god exists, and therefore god exists. He also needs to assume the bibles contents are true. Now of course to 'prove' something exists by assuming it exists is worthy of a wold class stupidity award. Eric is aware of this too, in that he wouldn't accept the presupposition that the ghost that never lies exists as proof for the ghost that never lies. I also managed to dig up Ray Comforts original video about bananas prove the existence of god (the one which he subsequently claimed was a joke..... a bold faced lie if ever there was one). In this video he also claims that apples prove the existence of god! Funny stuff! :-)

If you find the work of this channel worthy of support: paypal link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=364PBQ6DFTUT4 An outline of the targets for the upcoming year: http://thunderf00tdotorg.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/thunderf00t-2012-the-aspirations/ Eric Hovind and his sidekick will be on the Magicsandwich show this weekened: Sunday April 15th 2012 (oooh, so close to the deadline for submitting taxes!) http://www.blogtv.com/people/magicsandwich

For those who don't get the title, Eric Hovind put up his copy of the video under the title of 'OFFICIAL'. What makes it official? Nothing, its simply Eric trying to score a little attention, and yeah, sure under the circumstances I have nothing against a little honest reciprocation. FYI Eric will get the attention he craves. Just as did Venomfangx, Nephillmfree, Kent Hovind, Ray Comfort and many others who have prominently featured in the 'Why do People Laugh at Creationists' series. He's going to have to wait his turn to become infamous though, as 38 and 39 are already works in progress. Eric Hovind, the Atheist, also does that 'ladies and gentlemen'- addressing the crowd- shockofgod type thing. Yup, when someone acts in that bad a faith, you really shouldn't be surprised to find out you are dealing with a Hovind.

The thing that really got me about the Reason Rally, other than the sheer army of people who turned up in the rain, was just how young they all are! Really gave me a sense of optimism about the future! Further this came back to back with this new Gallup poll that suggest over 30 % of Americans are now non-religious! http://www.gallup.com/poll/153479/mississippi-religious-state.aspx Many thanks for the guy who gave me an SD card to record WBC, and to all the other great people I met at the Reason Rally. Also many thanks to Thethinkingatheist, who actually spent some of his time at the Rally getting footage rather than trying to talks some sense into folks like Hovind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d11tcjO--70 The future is bright, the future is rational!

Finally I get to tell people what I do.

A popular moderate muslim argues for the destruction of the core 'Human rights'. http://asadullahali.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/the-inhumanity-of-human-rights/ This channels been at the front in so many conflicts, I've got to be honest. I'm stunned its still here. When Creation Science Ministries went DMCA happy.... first in line. When Anonymous went for Scientology... right in the front line there too! Two conflicts with Youtube, both, surprisingly resolved by everything getting reinstated (well to be fair, what was being asked for was little more than what was reasonable, but still) Two DMCAs against Viacom, One DMCA battle with the chronic DMCA abuser Venomfangx (resolved by him reading an apology) One DMCA battle with the DMCA abuser Drcraigvideos (DMCA won, after serious attempts to take him to court, he 'quit' youtube) Having my docs dropped by the 'moderate muslim' Dawahfilms. Having Dawahfilms try to get me fired by contacting my workplace. The guy is now claiming that human rights are inhuman as they do not tolerate absolute religious views (you know, human sacrifcie by the Aztecs and so forth). This is the same 'moderate muslim' who MANY youtubers vigorously supported on the basis that I was being a irrational, islamophobic bigot etc etc. Anyway, now that I really don't have anything to stop me from revealing what work I do, a few keywords would have been enough. Also, several of my subscribers had worked this out completely independently. Some excellent and astute observations to which they need to be credited with. It also speaks to their integrity that they did not choose to reveal it to anyone.

MANY THANKS to all those who supported this channel recently. After a tense moment, youtube reappraised the situation and reinstated the videos they had 'impartially reviewed' as inappropriate. Personally I think this would have gone nowhere without the overwhelming support of those who supported the message. A dangerous game to play though for sure, playing hardball with the forum that can delete you channel and everything on it in a few key strokes. Anyway, youtube reinstated the videos, showing what is tolerable as free speech on this forum. Risks were taken to make that line visible. Use the free speech that so many fought for! Which brings us on to Hamza Kashgari, the man who is currently facing a death sentence over 3 tweets saying something particularly bland about Mohammad and religion. I still find it sickening that a culture exists on this world today that has iphones and will still happily sentence people to death for tweets or behead them for being a witch. Anyway, over this last week we had a choice of either to concede ground on the open market place of ideas or fight to preserve them. We fought, and we attained everything that could have possibly been hoped for. Thank you!

The videos: The BEST emotional PORN http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bzkjmpksdquap6p Draw Mohammad Day 2... NEEDS YOU! http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ucf5q2ma5bft7lf Amenakin, Censorin' For Islam http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?elrvckohtgvt9hx Osama bin Laden- Shot in Head! http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ghrh800h6ahmbgc This video: http://www.mediafire.com/?1sbjv51nwj6d23p I just can't believe youtube's really changing its policy this badly. Sure the terms of service have long essentially defined everything as hate speech while encouraging people to voice controversial opinions (yes very mixed messages!). In practice this means the policy is defined by how its enforced. Up till recently I thought youtube did an excellent job of allowing vibrant discussion of controversial topics:- a mature and responsible policy that would make anyone who espoused the virtues of the Enlightenment happy! Then I got four videos taken down in half an hour, and a 'privacy notifications' against a further two. Believe it or not, the privacy notifications were against videos where I documented a muslim guy hunting for and dropping my docs. WTF, seriously W-T-F. He drops my docs, YT scarcely bats an eyelid, now he says the video calling him on it is violating his privacy? The following videos were taken down, according to YT after review by their dedicated members who determined these videos violated terms of use. This can only make sense if its 'Youtube-Malaysia: Theocratic Chapter'. Malaysia is the place that recently sent a guy back to Saudi where he may face death for merely making three vanilla tweets about Islam. For me it doesnt seem impossible that there is an element of disconnect between what 'Youtube Malaysia' and the rest of the world regard as religiously offensive. I can only hope that it really is this simple, that it's just an error by an overzealous censor. If its a change in policy, its an ill wind that doesn't blow anyone any good.

Most people will look at communal animals, and their need to be in groups will be outstandingly obvious. However people are that taken up by the first person perspective of life, that they don't immediately recognize their own biological need to be in groups. Its not just a preference, its biologically hardwired into your brain. Being with friends is good, and being with powerful friends is even better. It is therefore unsurprising that if you are going to fantasise about a friendship, that as the rewards are better for having a powerful invisible friend, than a weak one, that most people end up having a 'relationships' with an ultrapowerful god. It is hard to contest that there are real emotional rewards yielded from such fantasies, and I have no problem with that. However when these fantasies have destructive effects on the society around those who hold them it becomes an issue. Indeed the extent to which such fantasies can pervert and corrupt a member of society are aptly summed up in William Lane Craig. Arguably the strongest interpersonal behavior is that of protecting infants. William Lane Craigs religion perverts his behavior to such an extent that he will happily justify putting a sword through a babies skull with a smile on his face and a tune in his heart knowing that, according to his fantasy, that the infant received an infinite good as a consequence of him killing it.

This video: http://www.mediafire.com/?60r3wd12h6xd63m So I sent this video to YT. Their reply was swift, and apathetically indifferent. Paraphrasing, 'if you think the dmca is false, file a counter notice'. And sure they are under no obligation to do anything, although they have just demonstrated by their actions that 10 dmcas evidently filed in bad faith with no consideration for fair use (see Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 572 F.Supp.2d 1150, 1154-55 (N.D. Cal. 2008)) is not considered a pattern of abuse worthy of the sanctions youtube states that it would implement in the case of abuse. In essence youtube has just demonstrated that they are unwilling to take action against even flagrant abuse of the DMCA and the sanction they threaten, of termination of the account, is one that youtube is either too apathetic or too unwilling to enact.

William Lane Craig has indeed shown his true colors. He was given ample opportunity to act in a clear form. I sent him 5 emails I left him a voicemail I even contacted the moderator on his forum, filling him in on the issue concerning allowing drcraigvideos to open claim on William Lane Craigs forum that he was legally acting as his agent in this copyright issue. The moderators reaction was to ban me within about an hour, and to delete every mention of the DMCA from the Reasonable Faith 'Open Forum' For a man who parades himself as being both an academic and a scholar, such activity is pathetic.

If you find the abuse of the DMCA by drcraigvideos, who is purportedly acting on behalf of William Lane Craig, you may contact him through his website at http://www.reasonablefaith.org/site/PageServer?pagename=contact_us Drcraigvideos claims multiple times that he owns the copyright and is acting on the behalf of both William Lane Craig and Reasonable Faith in the comments section here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtVf79DJg4Q drcraigvideos has now filed a baseless DMCA against this video.

SOPA is powered by the capital of 'old media'. These are folk who want to maintain an old, outmoded and redundant status quo to the detriment of all of us. Napoleonic justice (guilty till proven innocent) was flawed in its day, and there can be no reason to bring it back today for the pipedream of the 'old media' tycoons that the genie can be put back in the bottle. This TED talk about SOPA is creative commons, unaltered non-profit media. You are free to copy and mirror it as much as you want, as long as its non profit and unaltered.

William Lane Craig, DIRECTLY AFTER chastising a fellow mythology merchant like himself for the ineptitude of merely name dropping philosophers then proceeds to 'refute' this man by name dropping over half a dozen philosophers names.

William Lane Craig likes to think of himself as an academic, an intellectual and if you believe his fans, 'is regarded by many as one of the worlds leading in Christian Apologetics'. Well that's all fine and dandy until you actually check out William Lane Craigs track record in the peer review literature. See it turns out that William Lane Craig is a champion in academic circles only in the category of publishing 'uncitable junk'. In academia 'the size of your balls' is largely determined how many papers you've written, and how many citations they pick up: basically how many interesting papers you've written. Turns out William Lane Craigs papers pull in on average about 2 citations, with his top citated work pulling something like a dozen citations. That's an absolutely farcical track record. Personally I find it difficult to see how the man can have such a high opinion of himself when his citations record is so poor. Indeed, by this metric, I've know people who have surpassed the entire contribution of WLCs academic career merely a couple of years after getting a PhD. Normally I would let this sort of thing slide, apart from the man is such a professional slimeball in his dealings with the likes of Richard Dawkins that I figure his dirty little secret needs a little exposure. I mean with an ego like Craigs, you know the one thing that will cut his ego deeper than any insult is rubbing his nose in his utterly lack-luster citations record. Personally I think he should hereafter be referred to as William Lane 'Two Citations' Craig, or he gets antsy about his credentials, Dr 'Two Citations' Craig.

Lunar Eclipse Rising, 10th Dec 2011.

Sorry to put this out with such short notice. I had wanted to get this done about a month ago but just been too busy. So youtube, and the ISS are looking for good ideas for outreach projects to do on the ISS. Well I've got a good idea. The idea is that from an orbital platform, there are certain portions of the sky to which you get 24/7 views. If a planet's in that window, then you can record a very long time lapse of it. A stripped down 12 in telescope would provide perfectly adequate resolution for a project like this. After that you can database the data and recompile it into any timescale you want. This would provide the first long term views on the seasonal changing of the Jovian atmosphere (the bands appearing and disappearing), dust storms on Mars, the idling clouds of Venus and so-on. The changes in the timescale will not just give people a far more intimate feel with their celestial back yard, it will bring the solar system into dynamic life in a way that Hubble never did. Unfortunately I'm too old to enter the contest, so I'm putting the idea out there s 'up for grabs'. You can find details of the SpaceLab here: www.youtube.com/user/spacelab Footage of ISS and Voyager 1 coutesy of NASA and collaborators.

William Lane Craig is a master of crowing over the essentially irrelevant robust nature of certain methodologies while simultaneously misapplying such methods to draw his desired and erroneous conclusions. In academic circles, anyone who spends a disproportionate amount of their time exhausting the praises of the reliability of logical methods (as Craig does), reeks of being a bullshit merchant as its well known the whole methodology is subject to GIGO... Garbage in, Garbage out. Craig has 'five pillars' by which he 'proves' Christianity. Here, in Why Do People Laugh at Creationists Part 37, William Lane Craig, I address merely the first of these 'pillars'. He claims that everything that begins to exist has a cause. Well if we didn't have a few hundred years of scientific discovery under our belt showing the universe does not mold itself around human intuitions, he might have a point: however that's just not the case! The smaller and higher in energy you get, the less intuition serves you satisfactorily. And whats the problem Craig wants to apply his 'intuition' and 'inductive reasoning' to? Oh yeah, the beginning of the universe, where all of the energy/ matter of the universe was in pretty much the smallest volume we can conceive. He seems to expect that even though we have no way of currently defining such a state (it's an unknown, a gap in knowledge), that his intuitive reasoning will serve him well. You don't need to know much about science to realize that's almost a pointless exercise. Apply intuition to quantum mechanics, and you will fail. Similarly with relativity. These are of course the scientific objections to Craigs arguments. Craig is of course merely a layman when it comes to science. A point I only bring up as Craig persistently brings up such appeals to authority when suggesting his critics are not serious because they do not possess a degree in Philosophy. Ozmoroid has some of the best vids out there for those who really want to get to grips with relativity! http://www.youtube.com/user/ozmoroid

This is a sort of teaser for WDPLAC pt 37, William Lane Craig. The contrast between the metered maturity of Carl Sagan and the sneering school child of William Lane Craig is stark. Craig, all but gleeful to dismiss those who merely ask for consistency between his treatments of unknowns. Where did the universe come from? (begging the question to begin with), but Craig handwaves and uses his 'god' to explain this unknown. However rejects the idea that this god needs a cause. Sagan of course hits the nail on the head straight away. Why not just be honest and say its an unknown. Why all the posturing to replace an unknown with 'god'. What is wrong with the humility of merely saying 'we do not have a good explanation yet. It is an unknown.

VMD is distributed free and developed by the NIH and is one of the most widely used pieces of molecular visualisation software in the world. It can be downloaded for free at: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/ The protein data band is run by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics: http://www.pdb.org/ Start vmd and Goto extentions, data, pdb database query type in the accession code 1hho and click on load into new molecule in vmd go to graphics - represenations delete the 'all', and type 'proteins' then hit return (all case sensitive) There you go there's the amino acids of your hemoglobin protein! Now lets find the magic heme that gives it that excellent ability to carry oxygen and click on create rep (representation), now type in 'resname HEM' and change the draw method to VDW, thats van der waals (all case sensitive). The green guy in the middle is the iron. That's where the oxygen binds. and when it does that's what gives your blood its red color. Change the protein representation from lines to new ribbon, and change the color method from name to chain. Now we can see that in this protein structure there are actually two molecules! each one with a heme group. Now lets find our oxygen. Click on the hem representation and click and add 'OXY' to it, then hit return! There you go... oxygen... without this protein, your blood would only be able to carry about 1 hundredth of the oxygen it does. You have about a million million red blood cells pumping around your body, each one of which contains a third of a billion tetrameric hemoglobin molecules. Each hemoglobin molecules is about a billion times smaller than you (~1nm to 1m). Just to put that into perspective, the ratio of size of a hemoglobin molecule to you is about the same ratio as your height (1m), to the distance to the moon! (1Gm)

http://www.youtube.com/user/religiousantagonist So me and Religiousantagonist were looking around for some interesting stuff to do as Jesus, and 'what would Jesus do?' APPLY FOR A JOB IN A CHRISTIAN BOOK STORE OF COURSE! Make not my house an house of mechantise indeed! Christianity is a booming business! Oh and yeah, I know, I suck at this sort of thing. Oddly enough acting as Jesus and applying to a xian bookstore for the lulz was one of the skills I failed to hone at school :-p
