Introducing Applied Electrodynamics.
What would the world look like if we could see beyond visible light, across the entire electromagnetic spectrum?
The way waves interact with matter, at every wavelength, encodes far more than just shape and color. It reveals internal structure, temperature, chemical composition, and more: a whole layer of the physical world that's invisible to us today.
That's what we're building at Applied Electrodynamics: the infrastructure to fully perceive the physical world.
WaveSight is the first piece of the puzzle. It brings radio frequencies into human perception, revealing the internal structure of objects behind opaque layers. Designed for construction crews, industrial inspectors, and security personnel.

@zoomer_cape Nihilism infests the zeitgeist.
Many people seem uncomfortable with sincere admiration, beauty, greatness, or excellence, and instinctively reduce everything to its failures.
One of the most powerful chess photographs I have ever seen is this portrait of Alexander Alekhine, taken in Paris in 1925.
You can’t see the chessboard in the picture. Neither could he: Alekhine was giving a 28-board simultaneous exhibition, playing entirely “by memory.” He won 22, drew 3, and lost 3.
Chess gives you this kind of superpowers.
The number of pushups won’t matter until you change how you see yourself.
If you see yourself as a lazy person, you’ll always quit. If you start to change who you are, and become someone who trains and doesn’t give up, that’s what matters.
Identity change requires action. It’s the proof for your mind that you are someone different than it thinks right now.
So start small. Prove to yourself that you’re someone who does 10 pushups and 10 squats right when you wake up every day.
You can grow from there, but first we have to change who you think you are.
Researchers at Max Planck created a space-time crystal of magnons at room temp — and filmed it. It repeats in space and time, pulsing forever with no energy input. Just nature, at “rest”. 4 years old
@KeshanNaidoo3@Paratus2014 You would need to throw a pillow at 112 to 160 KM/h to match the kinetic energy. Not really sure how'd you'd launch a pillow to be that velocity at the point of impact anyway, a cannon perhaps?
I'm not sure you'd want to put your money where your mouth is in that situation.
The most essential stabilizing feature of a society is a status hierarchy that young people—especially young men—can reliably climb by following a clear and pro-social set of rules.

The first time I came back to Earth, I remember quite well the scent of grass as soon as the Shuttle hatch opened. It was like the Earth was welcoming us back. In that moment, the pleasure of inhaling the air increased my appreciation and affection for our planet. It was an interesting first response because I wasn't really expecting it. I didn't realize I would miss the daily things we usually don't notice.
She CT scanned seashells by the seashore
We put six seashells in our industrial X-ray CT scanner. They’re beautiful on the outside, but they’re even better on the inside. Let’s take a look… 🐚🧵
