The following hour of programming is not going to sell you a product.
There is no supplement we recommend you buy.
No wonder beverage, broth, or pill.
No glowing reviews of new gadgets, gizmos or apps
Nothing to put on your skin, in your hair or under your armpits.
The style you have now is better than anything we could recommend for you.
You will not save time, get more done,
grow a bigger brain, feel better, live longer,
or have a more satisfying love life by buying anything from us…
Just spending time
thinking and learning along with us
will do all of that and more
for free!
Because nothing improves the human condition more dramatically
then thinking and learning new things
And the only thing guaranteed to deliver out-of-this-world results
with nearly zero adverse side effects
Is This Week In Science!
Some quick science news!
Milky Way Flares
If you thought the solar storm this past week was exciting, consider something on the scale of the galaxy!
How old are those stars?
12 to 13 billion years old
Martian Dirt
An argument against evidence of past biology.
Hotter than Jesus
Oh my
Weaponized Beetles
Why would beetles have weaponized ultrasound?
Shark Food
Apparently, people are eating the wrong sharks in Australia.
