Neil deGrasse Tyson Suggests That Maybe Aliens Have Already Visited Earth… During Comic-Con (Video)
January 3, 2018
Wanna see some aliens? Dr. Tyson says drugs, drugs, drugs… can come through and make that dream come true… for you. Hahahaaa! But this clip though: MIND-BLOWING!
Neil deGrasse Tyson touches our soul in this clip where he talks about aliens and considers the idea of extraterrestrials already living among us in secret.

Should we feel a kind of way about the 2% diss Neil put down in this though?

Science: Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Take on Aliens And Why We Should Become A Multiplanetary Species (Video)
January 2, 2018
Worried about the possibility of aliens enslaving us based on the way WE (humans) have acted throughout history? You would not be alone. Great minds hold that opinion, too. Minds like Dr. Stephen Hawking (like many others) assume that any advanced culture would conquer one it finds inferior. Dr. Tyson respectfully (and optimistically) disagrees.
Neil deGrasse Tyson responds to Stephen Hawkings view on aliens. He also discusses artificial intelligence.

Great heady theoretical talk that we can all follow. Cool.

Science: How Far Have Our Spacecraft Traveled So Far (Video)
January 1, 2018
New Year’s… on these occasions we usually look back and look forward at the same time. How about we do something like that here: As we boldly go into 2018, let’s take a look at how far we have boldly gone, into space as a human race, already.
2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit Earth. In those 60 years, we’ve gone much further, reaching new planets and even the edge of the solar system. Watch as the human race explores the galaxy around us.

How Long Would It Take To Dig To The Center Of The Earth? (Video)
November 24, 2017
Know how when folks in The States would say something referencing ‘digging their way to China?’ Bet cash money this video blows their mind about how long (and improbable) a ‘trip’ like that would be.
If we were to journey to the center of the Earth, it would take a lot longer than you might expect. Here’s how deep humans have dug underground.

Advice: Stranded On An Island? Don’t Panic…
November 24, 2017
After a day of overstuffing my belly with a house full of loved ones, I just thought it interesting to come across this vid about maybe starving and dying alone. Macabre much? Hahahaaa!
Still full (burp) from Turkey Day though. Not starving for a loooong time homie 😉

Science: How Will We Evolve Over The Next 1,000 Years? (Video)
November 23, 2017
Interesting insights and predictions. Maybe we’ll be around to see if the ‘experts’ that put this clip together got it right. Maybe. Unfortunately, we are definitely doing our best to bring the Armageddon… choosing world leaders who are killing us or are gonna get us killed (or letting them stay in power)… eating and drinking poison (by choice, by ‘design’ or by inaction or incompetence of our leaders)…
Okay, okay. Staying positive. And THANKFUL!

Science: Neil deGrasse Tyson Offers An ‘Interstellar’ Explanation Of Reality Beyond Three Dimensions (Video)
November 23, 2017
That “Interstellar” flick was incredible by the way. A real mind trip, especially the way they viewed time and space in outer space. Crazy… until go-to astrophysicist and all-around smart guy Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks it down for us. Then it makes much more sense.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson saw “Interstellar” and then came by Business Insider to explain what the ending means – and if it’s scientifically sound.
Time. Wow!

Future Farm: Growing Food With No Soil And 95% Less Water (Video)
October 19, 2017
Vertical farms use less land, less water, less energy… and seem to be more efficient at producing food. Facts. But don’t take my word. The video says so, and I am sure the claims are verifiable if you want to go looking.
Me? I hope the authorities are looking into vertical farms. We have almost 7 billion people on this rock, and a lot are going malnourished and hungry.

How Star Trek’s Transporter Could Actually Work In Real Life (Video)
September 27, 2017
Well, hello! You had us at ‘Star Trek.’ But a real-life transporter? Amazing! Theoretically at least. And to all the nay-sayers… Shaddup!! This is just a pre-first attempt at it. Just thinking aloud about transporter tech. Where do you think the inspiration for the old mobile flip phones (‘Kirk to Enterprise’) and the iPad technology (thank you for the report, Yeoman Lady-In-The-Tight-Miniskirt) came from? Yeah, STAR TREK!
Of course, the whole make-a-copy-and-destroy-the-original idea that drives this… not really feeling that.

Western History Vs. African History (Video)
September 24, 2017
Hmmm… How deep can deep get? Africans did not even see themselves as Africans, or being tied to the African continent… and even the name “Africa” is derivative of what Westerners / Europeans imposed. Watch Dr. John Henrik Clarke drop serious science and knowledge on that, and more, above.
An analysis of the history of Africa as compared to Western civilization. European scholars asserted that the so-called ‘Egyptians’ were non-African until C. Diop’s melanin pigmentation test on Pharaohs proved otherwise.

Science: What Is A ‘Category 5’ Hurricane Really? (Video)
September 20, 2017
We’ve been hit with hurricanes these past few weeks (Harvey, Irma)… hit badly. And it was reported that the weather events reached Category 5. But what does that mean actually? Anyone?
Hurricanes roll up the Atlantic basin every year, but they weren’t categorized until 1971. The system, called the Saffir-Simpson Scale, tracks wind speed, damage caused, power and water loss expected, and habitability of affected areas. Category 1 storms are usually the least destructive, with the scale topping out at Category 5 storms, which can cause areas to be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

Science/Technology: The Hydrogen-Powered Rasa Car Looks Good On Paper… And On The Road (Video)
September 14, 2017
Okay, let me beat you vroom-vroom car enthusiasts to the punch. Zero to 55mph in 9 seconds is certainly NOT blowing the doors off anything. But c’mon son, 300 miles on one tank AND no emissions at all… Slow ya roll and save the world… literally!
The Rasa car is powered entirely by hydrogen and looks straight out of a James Bond movie. It can reach 55 mph in 9 seconds.

Science: NASA’s Weather Machine (Video)
September 2, 2017
NASA’s playing God! It’s making its own weather!
– Jeremy Clarkson
Wow. Sometimes (read: more often than you think) the byproducts of science and engineering as, or more, fascinating than the intended project. Case in point: NASA’s rocket booster testing in ‘nowhere, in the middle of nowhere’ Mississippi. The intent was to test some very expensive, very large, very VERY loud boosters. The byproducts – big billowing clouds RAIN clouds!
Seeding clouds for rain? Nah. That’s 20th Century maaaaan. NASA is making clouds… on the side… just because!

Neil deGrasse Tyson With Some “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry” And A Word For Climate Science Deniers (Video)
September 1, 2017
Great talk. Plus: Neil deGrasse Tyson with the booooom statement of, like, the decade or something! To all the climate change deniers: How was it that we made all kinds of plans, and reacted with all kinds and fervor and enthusiasm, to the Eclipse [Across America] – a phenomenon predicted by science – but NOT even flinch or flitter at the very real, very scientifically-founded warnings of pending planet-wide doom due to climate change (global warming, whatever you wanna call it)? Is it because beach chairs will become useless for the beachfront after the ocean level rises? Maybe because you’ll need good galoshes to go anywhere downtown in NYC? C’mon son!
Neil deGrasse Tyson weighs in on why climate change is subject to political debate and examines the privilege of wondering about space in “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.”
– Comedy Central
Okay, they are probably not reading this post or watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central… So if you know a denier, please share this.
(Or share with the like-minded. I don’t mind having an ‘amen corner’ on this.)

Dr. Charshee McIntyre Lectures On The History & Science Of Afrikans and Native Americans (Video)
August 29, 2017
Strength, beauty, honor, AND knowledge! Pay attention as Dr. Charshee McIntyre breaks it down in spite of diagnoses that would have many think she is ‘diseased’… Nah, she is in a constant state ‘dis ease’ (as in, “ill at ease”). Through her lineage, Afrikan and Native American (Cherokee-Choctaw in her instance), she speaks truth to her (read: our) existence and how we have diminished our humanity.
Dr. McIntyre gets deeper in depth in her lecture above. Rep. Maxine Waters popularized ‘reclaiming my time’… Dr. McIntyre implores us all to ‘claim our heritage’ and reclaim OUR humanity!
Yes, OUR humanity – Black, Red, White – all coming out of Africa… all intermingled genetically now. Traced back many, many millennia to The Motherland.
(Oh, and several historical myths are getting blown up in here. Sorry, not sorry, Columbus!)

Science/Advice: Lower Your Chances Of A Being Attacked By A Shark (Video)
August 22, 2017
YES! Finally, I get an expert to say what I have been telling folks ‘on the record’… if you want to avoid getting ‘shark bit’… don’t be in the damned water with them!
But some of y’all ocean-lovers, including my SCUBA-diving brother BoneBreaker Jones, just HAVE to do it. So, okay, watch this clip and learn how to minimize the risk of being victimized (e.g. being bit the f*ck out of) via shark attack.

Nature/Science: Billy Barr – Loner, Minimalist And Avid Reader – Has Spent 40 Years In The Wilderness Recording Snowfall Data (Video)
August 22, 2017
Billy Barr just wanted to get out to the wilderness, read and drink tea. Done it for 40 years. Ooookay… but know what else he has been doing for 40 years? He recorded the snowfall amounts the whole time, giving scientists decades of data to study. So what does Billy’s data show? Empirical support that gives cause for concern for climate change. Watch this docu-short and learn more.
Welcome to Gothic, Colorado — one of the coldest places in the United States. This ghost town has been abandoned since the 1920s, but there is at least one person who still calls it home. For more than 40 years, current resident Billy Barr has lived in a small cabin, recording data about the snowpack to pass the time. In this short film, Morgan Heim of Day’s Edge Productions profiles the legendary local who inadvertently provided scientists with a treasure trove of climate change data.
