Tesla has been hard at work in the past few years. While they had great initial success with their Model S and Model X, both were geared towards the luxury segment. This approach worked really well to get the marque into the minds of the American and global public. Tesla's next step was to lower the barrier of entry for their vehicles. In mid-2017, Tesla's entry model, the Model 3 was released. This was the first all-electric vehicle to have a range of over 300 miles and starting...

Imagine ships and boats being made out of a metal that could never be sunk. A material which even with holes all around it had buoyancy, and as such, would always floated back to the surface. First, let's talk about what makes a boat float. In order for a boat, or ship to float above water it has to displace more water than its weight. Meaning that if a boat weighs x, it has to displace water equaling x + 1. Certain vessels use this approach, plus something...

There are some things that happen in life for which we do not have an explanation. Like, what is in fact gravity? Or where is the matter in the Universe? Find out why soda explodes when shaken and if salt makes ice colder. As a bonus, you can also figure out how a circle and sometimes get entangled with a chain.

A lot of us take a lot of things for granted. From the simple things in life like being able to breath clean air and depending on safe drinking water. We simply assume these things just happen. That's what the government is there to do. We often forget that while this is true, it is the government's job to make sure there are safety measures in place to avoid a catastrophe, it is us, the people, that put that government in place. Therefore, if we do not vote...

Call me late to the party, but I've just finished watching the debate between Harris and Peterson and the great moderation by Bret Weinstein. While this is only part 1 and over 2 hours long, I recommend you watch it for yourself and reach your own conclusion. Otherwise, here is my opinion on the debate. Both debaters are very well educated, and read. Peterson is of the belief that religion and God are necessary for humans to be able to distinguish right from wrong. While Harris believes those...

Like all questions in life, the answer is "it depends". It depends at which point in their respective orbits you measure. Furthermore, as CGP Grey points out, the diameter of a planet's orbit has a huge impact on its relative distance to other planets. And for this reason one should ask not which plant is closest to Earth, rather which planet is on average most closest to Earth.

Time travel is the stuff of fiction, of dreams. We all want to be able to either travel into the past to fix a wrong, or into the future to see what things would be. It comes as no surprise that scientists have also wondered if traveling through time is indeed possible according to our current understanding of the laws of physics. In this video from PBS spacetime, host Matt O'Dowd, explains the various ways in which theory allows us to travel through time. The most intuitive is...

Not long ago, I wrote about the changes that have taken place since Edward Snowden revealed the extremes the US government had reached in order to "keep us safe". Today, on the Joe Rogan podcast, Snowden gave one of the best interviews I've heard from him. During the interview, he was able to talk about his childhood, his enthusiasm for technology since a young age, his various jobs in the intelligence community and finally, the catalysts that led him to share the bulk of documents confirming the US...

When I was younger, I knew my family and I were different. I didn't exactly know what was it was that was different, but I could feel it. As I have gotten older I have gotten to know myself better and thus have also come to realize how I am different. I grew up in middle-class neighborhood and I was the only Asian in my block. My friends were Caucasian and we got along great. I can honestly say I never felt any type of racism. I was...

Yesterday I posted about how amazing of a feat it was for Mr. Kipchoge to have ran a full marathon in less than 2 hours. Today I wanted to post a video that gives you a much better understanding of what I wrote about. I hope you enjoy it and like me, agree that his feat is inspirational.
