1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind from how Stuff 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind. 3 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: This is Robert Lamb and I'm Julie Douglas. And you know, Julie, 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: we have some pretty sharp dressers here at How Stuff Works, 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: but nobody really, nobody here is accessorizing today, like like 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: we are like, can you explain this, um, this blue 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: uh dolphiny outfit that you're wearing today? Well, it's a 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of shimmery first of all, and it's got um, 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: all sorts of zippers on it. It's like very eighties, 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a throwback to a motorcycle jacket. 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: And then I've got this fabulous fin at the bottom 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: and um, in fact, it's this fin that can propel 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: me through the water like twice as fast as Michael Phelps. Wow, 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: how did you drive to work in that? Um? You know, 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: just carefully. I've got a stitch shift, so it was 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: just kind of a kind of stop and go and 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: lots of looking, but you know, it's completely worth it. Wow. 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: Well it looks pretty sharp, almost as sharp as what 19 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: I'm wearing, which is a wingsuit. I did not fly 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: to work because you you actually have to have a 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: really significant skydiving experience to jump out of a plane 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: in one of these. But it looks pretty sharp. But 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: we have this awesome webbing underneath each of my arms. Um. 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: The webbing between my that goes down between my legs 25 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: is a little less awesome because it makes me kind 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: of have to walk like a penguin, which can be 27 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: a little awkward on Martha. Um. But you know, so 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: I think a few people may miss the train this 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: morning because of me. If you're listening, I apologize. But 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: if I was to fall off a cliff and this 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: thing I would, I would stand a really good chance 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: of not dying quite as fast. Yeah, and you would 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of look like, you know, Bobby Brown. Yeah, with 34 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: a sort of Bobby Brown wingsuit is what I'm looking 35 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: at right now. The Bobby I like the idea of 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: the Bobby Brown wingsuit. He's not doing anything right now. 37 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: He can he can get behind this product. Oh yeah, absolutely, 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: this is prerogative. So we are talking about accessorizing the 39 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: not just the human wardrobe, but the human form. That's right, 40 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: not content just to be human, right, And we've been 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: doing this for a while. I mean clothing itself is 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: basically an accessory to the human form. Like hair is 43 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: not cutting it. Throw some clothing on there. If you 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: get some hair from another animal to augment what we've 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: got going on, and suddenly you can sustain. You can 46 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: go a little farther north or a little farther south 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: to forge for food. Right, that's right exactly. I mean 48 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: it's crazy the amount of accessorising we do. Well. Our 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: kitchen is kind of an accessory. I've heard this argument 50 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: that it's basically an external stomach that we've created to 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: to cook food, and or even just a camp fire 52 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: is kind of an external stomach in a certain sense. Well, 53 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: until like how's our food? Yeah? Yeah, and it makes 54 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: it more digestible and does does the work that our 55 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: stomach cannot or you know, will not. Yeah, yeah, I 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: think it's it's it's pretty fascinating the ways that we've 57 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: tried to manipulate our form. And I even think about 58 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: the Right brothers, which you know, of course we're land lovers. 59 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: We we can't fly, but that didn't stop them, yeah, 60 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: or the just count as people just for centuries beforehand 61 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: that that tried and generally died or were horribly injured 62 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: when they fell off of something with wings strapped to them. 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Yeah I could fly. Yeah yeah. We actually we have 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: a couple of really good articles on that. We have 65 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: a like a top ten early attempts at flight article 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: on the house stuff works dot com. We're checking out 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: that details some of these more disastrous attempts, and I 68 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: wrote a short one like what was the first attempt 69 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: to fly? That also goes into some of these just 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: comic but also horrible accidents um of early attempts at 71 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: human flight. That's right, But I like the way that 72 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: you you put what we're talking about today. It was 73 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: basically like humans trying to Mr potato head themselves. Yeah. Yeah, 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: it's like the potato in itself. It's not you know, 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: doing much, but you know, so some eyes and there's 76 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: so some teeth on there. You know, the human form. 77 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: It's not gonna excel in the water, um, like a dolphin. 78 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: It's not gonna sail like a bird. So we end 79 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: up it's not going to sting like a bee. Yeah yeah, 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: it's not gonna sting like a bee. So we kind 81 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: of I I couldn't help but think of like like 82 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: a classroom containing all the varied forms that natural selection 83 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: is generated over over millions of years. And uh and 84 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: imagine like the human setting there and kind of like 85 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: looking over to cheat off of somebody else's sheet, because 86 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: we're we're cheating off of the work that in many 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: of these, in some of these more bio mimetic, you know, 88 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: mimicking mimick, mimicking biology forms, We're we're basically kind of 89 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: cheating off of their work. You know, their natural selection 90 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: has has been pushing this, uh, this design and fine 91 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: tuning this design for ages, and we're just kind of like, 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: you know, looking over seeing what they're doing and copying 93 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: it to our own, our own purposes. Yeah, and I'm 94 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: thinking about the dolphin fins. Um, well, let's get into 95 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: the dolphin fins. Yeah, where is this coming from? Like 96 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: where symbolically or who came up with this great idea? Yeah, yeah, 97 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: let's go with that one. Okay. Ted C. Millo, whom 98 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: is an inventor, basically studied the dolphin form and said, Okay, 99 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: that is really cool that dolphins use something like of 100 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: their energy and convert it into thrust, whereas us humans 101 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: are pretty lousy in the water and we can only 102 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: convert four percent of our energy into forward motions. So 103 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: basically when we get into the water, it's just it's 104 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of an awkward experience if you think about it, Like, 105 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: even if we put on swim fins, right, we're you know, flippers, 106 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: we're only just getting like what ten to fift more efficient, 107 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: right exactly, and we're still kind of just trudging through 108 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: the water. Even if even if we look really elegant 109 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: like Michael Phelps, which I know that when I swim my, 110 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: like really elegant like him, it's still not the best, 111 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: uh way to make our way through that sort of 112 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: uh discuss material, I guess you could say. So this 113 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: guy Semlo, great, totally interesting guy. He decides that he's 114 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: going to create a two and a half pound fin 115 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: um and this is made by his company called Luna Set, 116 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: and uh it's basically like a piece of foam and 117 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: it's got a really big span so it allows you 118 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: to now go twice as fast as Michael Phelps in 119 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: the water. It's kind of like a mermaid uh flipper, right, yes, yeah, 120 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: And so the really cool thing about this too is 121 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: that he envisions that eventually and they've been messing around 122 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: with us that that you can breach completely out of 123 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: the water like a dolphin, you need to actually jump 124 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: up into the air, yes, like like SeaWorld style, which 125 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: then I start to think, of course, well, are they 126 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: going to replace the dolphins with the human humans breaching 127 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: the water? Oh? Man? And then you'll like, you'll be 128 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: able to go, You'll be out in California, be able 129 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: to take tour boats out to watch like the crazy 130 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: um dolphin people. Yes, coming up to the side of 131 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: the boat and like, you know, following following the boat 132 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: like they do and jumping out of the water exactly. 133 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Although I still think the humans might be fired. I 134 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: feel like they won't be able to do the tricks 135 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah yeah, I don't know. But what they 136 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: can was they can have those guys like the dolphin 137 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: people hanging out in the back of the boat and 138 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: if they're they start freaking out. It's like, oh my goodness, 139 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: we're not singing any whales, we're not singing any dolphins. 140 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: They're like, call those guys in, We're not sending these 141 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: people back disappointed. I like that. I want to ride 142 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: the humans me um. Well. CML also is envisioning this 143 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: hydro touring aspect of it too, which is basically that 144 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: you get a group of people who have these fins 145 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: on and they can go really long distances throughout the day. 146 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: They've got waterproof gear, backpacks, and they can basically just 147 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: go and hang out in the oceans as long as 148 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: they want and tour around. And of course that makes 149 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: me think of like these marauding gangs. Oh we'll see, 150 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: I was. I had a much more optimistic view that 151 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking like sort of wandering hippies of the sea, 152 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, especially since this guy that comes from Athens, Georgia, 153 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: which I mean, granted has the whole like football side 154 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: of it, but then there's also kind of like a 155 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: hit thee, you know, music incompatible with the world outside 156 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: of Athens quality too. I Mean, I love Athens, but 157 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: I can't help but think of the patent Oswalt quote 158 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: that it's one of those places where people like leave 159 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: Athens and then they're they're like, what you can't you 160 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: can't pay for a meal with a song in this 161 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: in this town, you know. So it's true, it does 162 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: have its own little special bubble of reality to it, 163 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: and so it makes sense that it produced this guy. 164 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: Yeah totally so. But but yeah, indeed, Weather we're talking 165 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, your vision of of you know, marauding, um, 166 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: you know Hell's Angels with flippers. Yeah yeah. Can't you 167 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: just see them going up to the snorre flowers, like 168 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: the tourists who are all snorkeling, and just start jabbing 169 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: them and you know, running away really quickly or swimming away. Yeah, 170 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: what with like the bottle knows that they wear over 171 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: their mouth exactly. Yeah yeah, yeah, that along with like 172 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: a Nixon mask. Yeah. Well, okay, all right, I can 173 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: I feel like the hippie idea a little better. But but 174 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: but I mean, either way, they would be heading out 175 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: to like a local little island with their sack full 176 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: of like with their cell phone and their GPS system 177 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: and some peanut butter sandwich. Yeah, unless they're really into it. 178 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: Maybe they only they start only eating like you know, 179 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: like raw fish. Oh, like they just really embrace it. 180 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and they start spearing their fish. Yeah. You 181 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: could create an entire community out of this. This doesn't 182 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: have to be like a day trip. It could be 183 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: a way of life. Yeah. But this guy Semial He 184 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: also created a human powered submarine and I don't know 185 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: if he's actually used it to cross the Atlantic, but 186 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: I know that he's planning to. And it too has 187 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: a bio mimicry and it it's it's got a a 188 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: foil like a dolphin's tail. Okay, now, how many humans 189 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: does he have to enslave to power it? For him? 190 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: You know what? This is the good news? Just one, 191 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: just just himself. Oh okay, that's actually that's a lot 192 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: more optimistic. Yeah yeah, And I mean I can't quite 193 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: get my head around it because it's fifty pounds, But 194 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: it's been explained like a StairMaster crossed with a cross 195 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: country ski machine in the arm and leg drive system 196 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: is linked to the flapping tail through a system of pulleys. 197 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: And that seems really exhausting to me. I really hope that, um, 198 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: the the inventor is not out there right now on 199 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean in this thing. Now. I 200 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: know that would be awful. But I knew that he 201 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: was planning it for like his forty birthday or to 202 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: celebrate his his forty year. And here's a quote on 203 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: his website. He said, I want to spend time out 204 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: on the open ocean, and something I built with my 205 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: own hands, pondering my own existence. So obviously the only 206 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: way to really achieve that is to build a personal submarine. Yeah, 207 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: don't run a boat, yeah, starting evil gazing. You just 208 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: have to create your own power petaled submarine. Well, we're 209 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: making fun of it a little, but it is kind 210 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: of now it's really I'm making fun of it because 211 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: it's so cool. I want one of my own, and 212 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: I wish I had the own that sort of initiative 213 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: to be like, you know, I want to ponder in 214 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: the best way I can ponder in the middle of 215 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: the ocean, and I'm going to make that happen for me. Cool. 216 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: It also make it reminds me that we do have 217 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: an article on the site about whether a um giant 218 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: squid could take down a submarine or not. Well, I 219 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: mean that we haven't even discussed rogue waves. Yeah, rogue waves. Yeah, 220 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean that could take animal or um you know, 221 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 1: side stitches. I think that can really thank you in 222 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: this particular advice. Oh yeah, I didn't even thought about that. Yikes. Yeah. Yeah, See, 223 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: you can't eat your peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then 224 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: you definitely would have to take breaks. So that's one 225 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: way that we're trying to look over at our classmate 226 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: the dolphin and say, what's what's going on with you 227 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 1: and your design, which I think is pretty cool that 228 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: we're trying to co op cool as long as we 229 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: don't do any you know, crazy damage in our marauding gangs. Yeah. Well, 230 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: while while our marauding um um Luna set that wears 231 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: are busy in the ocean um in the air, we 232 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: have people wearing wingsuits like and uh and and these 233 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: are these are pretty awesome. Recently, there's been a couple 234 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: of I mean they by they kind of pop up 235 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: in the news. I guess like wingsuits one of those 236 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: things that the economy doesn't really hurt because they're always 237 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: going to be crazy people who want to jump out 238 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: of an airplane and sort of fly for a little bit. 239 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they fly, But if you've got that kind 240 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: of discretionary income, you're probably not too badly hurt by 241 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: the the economy. Because recently in the news and both 242 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: of these relate to the Red Bull Skydiving team, which 243 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: is basically a wingsuit with a bunch of Red Bull 244 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: logos on it. And uh, they're not like wearing a 245 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: red bull can mascot outfit or anything. They don't have 246 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: what it touched their head with a straw coming down. 247 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: But there's a guy named Valerie rose Off and he's 248 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: a Russian and he recently glided uh forty seconds when 249 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: he jumped off of Vatana Mountain in uh Antarctica. And 250 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: that's a nine thousand, six d sixteen foot peak. Yeah, 251 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: so there's video that online. It's worth checking out. It's 252 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: extremely terrifying because even though you kind of well on YouTube, 253 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: I guess all all you know, bets are off, but 254 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: I figured he probably wasn't going to crash into the 255 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: side of the mountain and die horribly. But you kind 256 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: don't know when you watch this, uh this film, because 257 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: he's pretty close to the side well, And I think 258 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: it's fascinating that it's not enough just to fly through there. 259 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: It's to try to get as close to the mountain 260 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: and the cliff as possible. I mean, isn't that that's 261 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: sort of part of the whole wingsuit thing. If if 262 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: you're an enthusiast, well with the base jumpers, I think 263 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: it just kind of comes with the territory because you 264 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: know you're jumping off of a mountain. You know it's 265 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: gonna be you're not gonna necessarily get that much distance, 266 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: but plenty of these guys do it also just you know, 267 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: out of planes and it's all about that seems to 268 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: be just all about soaring as far as possible. Uh, 269 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: you know over when watching the mountains and stuff just 270 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: pass underneath you. So I think there are different schools 271 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: of thought on it. But the other news item related 272 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: to the Red Bull sky Diving Team. Um, but I 273 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: think it's like the last month or so in the 274 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: Santa Monica area, they had UFO sidings and it turned 275 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: out to be I was strange lights in the sky. Oh, 276 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: it's just the Red Bull Skydiving Team. So so if 277 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: you see a UFO, you know, don't freak out. It 278 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: could just be these guys. Um. And if something comes 279 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: into your house and you have like an abduction, abduction 280 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: experience like we've experienced, like we discussed that previously, Uh, 281 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: try to look at their legs and see if there's webbing, right. 282 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: And it's not Bobby Brown by the way, But I 283 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: do think that's kind of funny when you think about it, Like, 284 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, an octogenarian when such good eyesight looking up 285 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: in the in the air and seeing what looks to 286 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: be like these flying squirrels coming at them. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, 287 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: if you think of a flying squirrel, you're imagining the 288 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: suit pretty spot on, because it's all about creating an 289 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: air foil, uh, you know. And uh and so it's 290 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: like webbing under the arm and between the legs, and 291 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: so you like, you spread your arms, you tuck your head. 292 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: I better not tuck my head away from the mic. 293 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: You tuck your head right now, yeah, and uh, and 294 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: you spread your legs and and you create this air 295 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: foil so you can generate some lift. Now, you can't 296 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: get enough. It's not enough to you're still fall you're 297 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: still gonna, you're still kind of falling. I mean, you're 298 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: just sending anyway. You can't really ascend in this in 299 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: this kind of suit, but you can. You can steer, 300 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: you can glide around just by moving your your legs. 301 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: The the airfoil itself. It's pretty brilliant because if you 302 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: look back in uh, in parachuting history, like the first 303 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: parachute jump from an airplane was nineteen twelve, which was 304 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: just uh nine years after the right brothers. So you know, 305 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: we we were on this pretty quick. It's like, woh, 306 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: this is great, we can fly, but can we jump 307 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: out of so? Um. You had a lot of people 308 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: back then they were trying to incorporate wings into their 309 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: design because you know, they're trying to come up with 310 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: ways to steer and and you know, the dream of 311 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: human flight without the aid of this airplane is just 312 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's older than the idea of the airplane. 313 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: Really you look back to you know, the myths of 314 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: Vicarius and Dadalus and all that, or even looking at 315 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: da Vinci's drawings right exactly. Yeah, so it really predates 316 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: the idea of creating a flying machine. Um. But of 317 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: the seventy five original pioneering birdmen, uh seventy two testing 318 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: their new designs and techniques between just between nineteen thirty 319 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: and nine sixty one. Because you throw these uh these 320 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: these different wings on and suddenly you have just just 321 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: like extra limbs that can become entangled in the shoot 322 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: um or like you know, I like to think, you know, 323 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: you jump out and then you go to check your 324 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: pocket watch and uh and then bam, you go into 325 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: a spin because you have a wing out here on 326 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: the side of your arm. So the the wingsuits, though, 327 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: they solve a lot of this really in a really 328 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: neat way, because you don't have like the wings are you. 329 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: They're not wings tacked onto you, and and they the 330 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: membranes inflate when you jump out because the air rushing 331 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: up towards you like goes into these chambers and it 332 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: kind of inflates you to a certain degree. I mean, 333 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: you can still moving on, but it gives it kind 334 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: of gives it more of a structure. And so it's 335 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: not just like you know, some loose webbing underneath the army. 336 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: That's pretty nuts. So I have to say, I think 337 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a speed freak thing. Yeah, And if you're 338 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: interested in doing it, um, just keep in mind that 339 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: you're going to I mean, you can wear one to 340 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: work like I'm doing. It's no problems. You know. Just 341 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: to be careful when the train comes when you're on 342 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: the platform exactly because that that that train breeze will 343 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: catch you, believe me, but you you recommended, it's recommended 344 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: you have a five hundred jump traditional skydiving jumps under 345 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: your belt before you even strap on a beginner wingsuit, 346 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: and those will cost your own six D dollars less 347 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: less estimate I looked at and if you get an 348 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: advance model you're looking at at well, you know, well 349 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: over twice that. Yeah. So um, some experience probably and 350 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: as well as an understanding of basic physics probably helps 351 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: a lot in terms of, yeah, surviving your fun experience exactly. Um. Yeah, 352 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: it is an advanced skydiving technique, so that that really 353 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: has to be stressed. It's it's it's an it's it's 354 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: an advanced technique. So don't just don't try and build 355 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: one on your own. No, no, kids, don't do that 356 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: in your backyard there. Yeah. Well, there's another really cool 357 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: way that we're using accessories I suppose you could call them, 358 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: which is neural prosthetic devices. Okay, So the cool thing 359 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: about this is that these devices use neural implants consisting 360 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: of an array of electrodes that are implanted in the 361 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: brain to monitor a small set of neurons. Okay, and 362 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: now this is related to our nervous system exactly. And 363 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: so if you think about the brain is an electrical device, 364 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: an electricity. Electricity is a common language. So that's what 365 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: allows us to interface the brain to these electronic devices, 366 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: so it detects an individual's intentions to maneuver an object, 367 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: such as a prophetic limb. And I'm thinking about the 368 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: bionic arm, which allows you to basically say, you know, 369 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: a quick command like move fingers here or go there, 370 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: and then it basically takes that signal and allows your 371 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: hand to move, which is incredible if you think about, 372 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: especially if you've lost a limb. Um, you know, it 373 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: can be used in so many different ways. Yeah, yeah, 374 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: it's it's really incredible. Um, it'sens So it seems seems 375 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: like the ones I've seen, you know, schematics of it's 376 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: kind of like a little legs so it's like a 377 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: little metal plate in the interior of the device, like 378 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: this kind of a sensor. Yeah. And in fact they 379 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: tested it a monkey, of course. Oh yes, yeah, so 380 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: of course they present a monkey with a bionic arm. 381 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna assume that the monkey lost that arm naturally. 382 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm not even to tarnish my brain with with any 383 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: other possibility. You know, I can't remember right off hand, 384 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: but maybe this is my brain creating a cover memory 385 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: because I was trymatised by that myself. But I want 386 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: to say that they actually just strapped it on top 387 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: of the arm. Oh well that's good, which does it 388 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: means doesn't make it any freakier looking, right, Um, but 389 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: again that might be a cover memory that just created. 390 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: Still the end result, monkey with a mechanical arm. There 391 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: you go, That's that's progress right there. Um. But it 392 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: actually is progress because ultimately it can help out a 393 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: lot of people. Yeah, even if they did, even if 394 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: they did have to saw off a monkey's arm. It's like, 395 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, the fact that you can help all these 396 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: people with that have that have lost a limb is 397 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Yeah. Yeah, And then I was reading too that. 398 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's so fascinating that you can take 399 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: the neural code and break it down like that. And 400 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: now that we have figured out that genome, you know, 401 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: what can we do how can we apply that to 402 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: the way that we're operating with prosthetics? You know? Is 403 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: there is there a deeper way I guess to embed 404 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: the information so that it's it's coming. Um. Two is 405 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: a much more complex fashion. So are you are you 406 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: getting into the area who we're talking about not just 407 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: simply having a machine replacement to to feed off of 408 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: existing Uh, neural points, but too potentially create new neural 409 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: points exactly or yeah, exactly, and and enhance not just replaced, 410 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: but enhance what we can already do. So I guess 411 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: it's sort of like moving toward the bionic man, yeah, 412 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: or like creating so like something I'm like, if you 413 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: see people that run with their like their iPod or 414 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: the MP three player like strapped their shoulder, like, so 415 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: what if they had a neural uh connection on their 416 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: old docking station? Yeah? So if they don't yea, if 417 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: they don't like the song that's playing, they can just 418 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: skip to the next track by like you know, just 419 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: thinking about apples or something. Man, I have to say 420 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: that that is something that I would probably get under 421 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: the ninth four. That's pretty cool. I know. That's seriously though, 422 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: have you ever sat and I thought, oh God, I 423 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: don't want to get up and change the iPod or 424 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm so lazy that I can't even pick up this remote. 425 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: Now you haven't, well yeah, sometimes just admit it. Um, 426 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. And then uh, there's along that same 427 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: sport of idea of improving upon what we already have, 428 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: or is something called the carbon nanotube muscles UM, this 429 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: is really cool. It's basically a next generation muscle made 430 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: out of carbon nanotubes and UM. So you know, carbon 431 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: nanotubes are about a hundred thousand times thinner than human hair. 432 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: It's they're super light and they're stronger than steel and 433 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: carbon nanotubes when they contract at three per second. That 434 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: you think about the human muscle, which contracts at around 435 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: per second. So all of a sudden, you have this 436 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: ability for super crazy strength. If you can apply this 437 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 1: to artificial loombs. Yeah, and there's a guy named Ray 438 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: Bowman who UM has produced a formulation that's stronger than 439 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: steel actually, and it's light as air, and it's more 440 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: flexible than rubber. And in addition to being used in 441 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: artificial limbs, that can be used to make smart skins, 442 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: which are the shape changing structures which shape shifting. It's 443 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: like my favorite thing. That's pretty cool and ultra strong robots. 444 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: But in the media in the immediate future, it's just 445 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: gonna be good for highly efficient solar cells. Yeah. But 446 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: I mean nanotubes are one of those things where it's like, 447 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: if you you look at any kind of contemplation of 448 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: advanced structural UM technology, nanotubes tend to show up. Yeah, 449 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: almost everything is predicated on that. Yeah, everything from you know, uh, 450 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: space elevators to know to solder say les. They're frequently 451 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: sided right, and they're being used. I mean that That's 452 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: the amazing thing is that, Okay, there, maybe this one 453 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: guy is playing around with him right now, but that 454 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: translates to them being used pretty in a word spread 455 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: way in like twenty years. And the whole thing about 456 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: the limbs you're you're talking about is I'm of course 457 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: you instantly think of like superpower grip where you're just 458 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: like crushing everything inside. But the key here, uh seems 459 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: to me is also speed. I mean you see some 460 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: of the you know, in many cases outdated examples of 461 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: mechanized prosthetic limbs, and you see kind of like a 462 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: slow robotic kind of thing going on, right because there 463 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: it has to depend on hydraulics, um or or even 464 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of just sort of puppetry type devices. You know. 465 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: But but if you have these nanotives, but we would 466 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: have this the speed of of reaction and uh and 467 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 1: and you know, you'd be able to downplay it wouldn't 468 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: be a situation of like like please don't touch anything, 469 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: because you will crush everything that you love. Would be 470 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: more like, you know, there would be a controlled system 471 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: where it's like, yes's ahead and touch the apple. It's 472 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: going to be more of more of a lifelike maneuver 473 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 1: and uh and uh and you know grasp ability right, 474 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: But I mean, would it also, um, Santa reason that 475 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: you could also accelerate yourself? Yeah, there was a reason 476 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: to um, but it's not like you know, I was 477 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: thinking like, okay, you can make legs east, you can 478 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: do like super jumping abilities. But then that seems extraordinarily dangerous, 479 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know how useful that is. It could be. Yeah, 480 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: you're right that there's there's a lot of contemplation that 481 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: needs to go on here before it starts to be 482 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: released to mass audience. I believe this presentation is brought 483 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: to you by Intel sponsors of tomorrow. I don't know 484 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: if you knew this. Um. The carbon nanotube infused steel 485 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: was thought to be used to me to make Damascus blades, 486 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: which is history's sharpest sword. Really yeah, yeah, and the 487 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: the technique has been lost. But when they actually looked 488 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: at the swords, they found that carbon nano tubes and 489 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: nano wires were used in the sample of a seventeenth 490 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: century sword forged from damask of steel. Wow, I did 491 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: not know that. That's pretty incredible, but I mean so 492 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: that I think that was sort of an accident of science, 493 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, back in the day. But it's really interesting 494 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: to find out that that was used in this material. Yeah, 495 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: and especially interests when you look at the Damascan space 496 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: elevators of the of the day. Those were pretty those 497 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: were yeah, I mean they are an elegant interpretation of 498 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: that absolutely. So what the accessory item do we have 499 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: next year on the list? Exoskeletons, which again you can 500 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: carbon ano tubes eventually could be used with us. Yeah. 501 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: And of course, the great thing about i mean exo 502 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: skeletons if you're at all, if you're like a guy 503 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: and you're into sci fi at all, then you're just 504 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: probably in love with the idea of exo skeletons because 505 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: they're everywhere. I mean, it's back to like uh, you know, 506 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: Starship Troopers, you know, the novel to you know, stuff 507 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: like the whole Warhammer forty thousand world with all these 508 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: you know power uh, you know, mechanized power armor that 509 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: these guys are wearing to you know, do all sorts 510 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: of amazing things, or even like aliens where you have 511 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: really fighting. It just was thinking about her stepping into 512 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: her excess skeleton. Yeah yeah, so it's like it's it's 513 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: it's another one of these things that it's just, you know, 514 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: we just can't get enough of the idea that you 515 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: could strap on this this armor that would just make 516 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: you a superhuman, right, and it's here in existence. Luckheed 517 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: Martin has actually developed it, and it's been dubbed the Hulk, 518 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: which is human Universal Load Carrier. I love how they 519 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: claim that any that the Hulk thing is just accidental. 520 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: They're like, oh you mean, oh wait, are you trying 521 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: to tell me that there's a comic book character that 522 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: has that's green and has super We had no idea, 523 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: what a weird coin? No, no, you know that they 524 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: put like together, thank Tank for that, and do buy 525 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: somewhere in. Twenty hours later they came out with Hulk. Yeah. 526 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: Um oh. The suit weighs eighty two pounds. Purportedly, when 527 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: a soldier is strapped in, they don't feel that weight. 528 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: They feel virtually nothing when it comes to that, and 529 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: then it allows the wear to effortlessly lift two pounds. 530 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: But this is pretty cool too because it can also 531 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: be accessorized with missile launchers or even steel shield capable 532 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: of yeah, capable stuffing munitions dead in their tracks. See 533 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: this is this is just straight up space marine stuff, 534 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: I know. And it's here again. I'm I'm pretty excited 535 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: about it. Most of the models use a hydraulic system 536 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: which is controlled by an onboard computer. And just in 537 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: case you're wonderingly, well, you know what, what's the power source. 538 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: It's an eighteen pound battery and it's a lithium uh 539 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: you know battery I believe, excuse me, a lithium one 540 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: and it lasts for three to four days and it 541 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: can be recharged using a hum vy just in case 542 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: you're worried about that. Yeah, and uh, right now, they're 543 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: testing them. Uh actually, they'll be testing them in the 544 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: spring on real soldiers in the military, and then they'll 545 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 1: be using them in Afghanistan. So they should complete their 546 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: tests by about and then introduced them to the market 547 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: and their mass market commercial market. And just in case 548 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: you're interested, that's it's around. You probably want to get 549 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: a backup one, okay and make sure you have homebies 550 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: parked everywhere you can, consumably exactly because when one of 551 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: these suits powers down, that's the thing. It's like you're 552 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: kind of in this big tomb. I guess, I don't know. Yeah, 553 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: And I'm just thinking too, is that one of those 554 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: things that you buy and then it powers down and 555 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: you get it never really get around to putting it 556 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: back up. Having an iPhone, Yeah, I also thinking you'd 557 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: just sit in your closet. There goes that Exo suit again. 558 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: You shouldn't really power it up. Another really interesting one 559 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: out there because a number of different people are working 560 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: on different variations of the Exo skeleton. Um, there's a 561 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: there's a one that comes out from that. The Honda 562 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: has been working on the Hondo Exo Skeleton lay and 563 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: these are pretty awesome because it looks basically like a 564 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: bicycle seat with a belt, uh and like robotic robotic 565 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: leg braces that go down to shoes and so you 566 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: kind of end up looking like you have to look 567 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: at a picture this because you kind of end up 568 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: looking like you have mecha legs and like Meca groin 569 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: in this because the bicycle seat thing kind of like 570 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, comes up in both sides. It kind of like, 571 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: what's the did you say it cuts you on both sides. Yeah, 572 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: so you know, it kind of looks like a weird 573 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: cod piece in the front. So you see these, you know, 574 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: wonderful demonstrations by you know, these very very nice, polite 575 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: looking Japanese scientists and uh, massive cod piece and robotic legs. 576 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty awesome. But they they this would come 577 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: in like different sizes and would weigh about fourteen point 578 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: three pounds and again lithium ion battery and in this 579 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: particular exo skeleton, you'd be able to walk like two 580 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: point eight miles for that per hour for about two 581 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: hours when I'm having to worry about charging it. That's 582 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: not that if you want to take a stroll. Yeah. 583 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: And then there's the m t Exo Scout Alton and 584 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: uh again this is this is another one's very similar 585 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: to some of the other things we're looking at, um 586 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: the prototypes um I was I was researching. They have 587 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: It's one of these things where we have legs that 588 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: are braced and then kind of a back area and 589 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: so the idea is not as much to like you're 590 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: not providing like, oh I can walk forever because my 591 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: legs are robots or you know, I have super you 592 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: know strength for kicking the enemy. It's about supporting a 593 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: massive payload on your back without feeling it. It's like 594 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: transferring the weight through these robotic exoskeleton legs to the ground. Okay, 595 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: so every time I move into a new house, this 596 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: is the thing that I want to buy. Yeah, but 597 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: it's it's really cool. And then it's because it's the 598 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: when we were talking earlier about like shield attachments and 599 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: missile attachments. It's like that's just like just straight up 600 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: like kind of a sci fi vision and it's easy 601 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: to get caught up in that. But this is more 602 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: like sort of practical area. It's like, if you need 603 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: a guy to carry a whole lot of stuff, um, 604 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, this is a way to do it. That 605 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: was this the one that you were saying that they 606 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: might end up renting or it's not necessarily something that 607 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: you have to buy, But um I think um, I 608 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: think that the Japanese models are the ones that they're 609 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: talking about making available to the public for rental. Okay, 610 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: so I could go to home depo and rent this, 611 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: um well, whatever home depot is Okay, yeah, whatever that is. Um. 612 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,479 Speaker 1: Then there's another one also in Japan, though, who are 613 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: on the subject from Japan's Cyberdyne, which this whole okay, 614 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: Cyberdyne for those of you who are film buffs. Um, 615 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: this was the name of the company that built the 616 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: sky net system in the Terminator films. So you know, 617 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: the Japanese have such a more optimistic view of a 618 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: robotic future than it seems like everybody else. So they 619 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: just happily named their company Cyberdyne, and they named their 620 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: their exo skeleton system the how ex exoskeleton, as in 621 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: the robot that goes berserk in two thousand one. So 622 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: it's yet robots suit hybrid assistive limb or how exoskeleton. Yeah, 623 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: that doesn't inspire confidence to me. Yeah, though they have 624 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot of that. They do have a lot of 625 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: like cooler ideas in mind for hovice would be used. 626 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: They think it would be used up for to train doctors, uh, 627 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: to help in physical therapy as people you know, re 628 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: you regain use of their their limbs, uh, you know, 629 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: asist disabled people. Uh. And that this is an idea 630 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: you also see in uh New Zealand's Rex exoskeleton, which again, 631 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: Rex it's I I just refuse to believe that they're 632 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: not coming up with the these first. But but the 633 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: idea is, like, you know, instead of somebody being confined 634 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: to a wheelchair, uh, an exo skeleton system would give 635 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: them the liberty to walk around like uh, you know, 636 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: as if they still have the use of their legs, 637 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: which is which is pretty cool, but they have been 638 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: Also Cyberdyne is looking at ways it would allow laborers 639 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: to carry heavier loads and to aid in emergency rescues. 640 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: So pretty cool. Yeah, I have to tell you, um, 641 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: I have something to do at once. I need to 642 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: actually run over to the Yeah how many? How many 643 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: laps do you have to do to get a decent 644 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: workout when you're superpowered? Though? Oh? Just like thousand? Yeah. 645 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna dominate the lane for a couple 646 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: of hours. If anybody gets in there, just Bottle knows them, 647 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: they'll they'll get out. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna let the 648 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: staff know there. So, hey, we have a couple of 649 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: listener male items here. Shall I look at them? Please? Do? Okay, 650 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: let me see if I can reach them in this 651 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: You just get hooked on all right, I got it. Okay, 652 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: this one comes to us from a listener by the 653 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: name of Gin and Uh she addresses you. Actually, she says, 654 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: I recently found it found U interesting U to the 655 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: episodes that Duly mentions a vomitorium and says that Romans 656 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: would eat until they've vomited and then eat more. I'm 657 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: not sure if that was ever a cultural Roman thing 658 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: or not, but the vomitarium was actually something completely different. 659 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: Vomitarium was an archway of Roman theater, such as the colosseum, 660 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: where the people would enter or leave. It's called a 661 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: vomitarium because of the way it looked when crowds of 662 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: people would swarm out of the door, like the building 663 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: of vomiting people. I guess she's right, and I was 664 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: actually referring to sharks. I think we're talking That was 665 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: the inside Out podcast, and we were talking about sharks 666 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: emptying their stomachs, and I think I likened it to 667 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: a vomitorium. And later on we were doing some reading 668 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: for Pyrocross Plastic Flow and actually came on the um. 669 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: So thank you Jen for pointing that out. It's absolutely right. 670 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: Do I wish that there was a vomitorium. I'm not 671 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: gonna lie, you know. Yes, I've always thought it was 672 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: really cool, um that you could stuff yourself so horribly 673 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: and then go vomit, and then there would be a 674 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: loot player there to cover up the sound of the 675 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: vomiting um or me vomitings. I should say, um, but no, 676 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: you're you're right, And I guess this is another thing 677 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: we're hanging on the Romans, right, yeah, yeah, I don't see. 678 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't understand whly you have to be put down 679 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: on the Roman Empire. A lot of great things, I know, 680 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: but like to think of them as hedonist, you know, yeah, 681 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: free wheeling. Well we have we have one more bit 682 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: of a listener mail here from Hope speaking of Romans. 683 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: This one is apparently from a listening by the name 684 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: of buddhica Um, who was, of course the the the 685 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: warrior Queen was, or belief for people were crushed by 686 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: the Romans at one point. We'd have to ask the 687 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: history gals about this because it was also an on 688 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: your track as I recall, so there back back from 689 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: my on your listening days. But anyway, Buddha my little 690 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: on yeah, budicas rights, I believe you mistitled the podcast. 691 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: You titled the podcast quote if a tree falls in 692 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: a forest doesn't make a sound. However, the way I've 693 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: always heard it is if a tree falls and no 694 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 1: one is able to hear it doesn't make it sound. 695 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: And she's correct. This is the full version of it, 696 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: because otherwise it loses its philosophical punch if you admit 697 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: those words. But I believe we had to some of 698 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: the words to fit it into the podcast title. Yeah, 699 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: because we were going to call one of our episodes 700 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: you're so vain, you probably think this universe is about you. 701 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: But then Ben Bowlen told us we had to short 702 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: that's right and such. Yeah, but it's good that we 703 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: got the email because that we knew that our tree 704 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: had fallen in the forest via your emails.
