There is definitely an argument to be made for increased negative (reputational) effects. However, many unreproducable results are only discovered years, if not decades, after initial publication. This makes the discovery less impactfull fo

Sorry but you are simply wrong. Tony Heller (your first video) has been debunked so many times it's a wonder he still makes videos. If you want to say GISS data is manipulated, please come up with solid evidence from peer reviewed sour

It's cool to see how the game took the world by storm in such a short time. The "out-group" - including military personnel - was left completely in the dark as to what all kids seemed to know about: Pokemon, Gyms and Stops. &

What's up with so many YouTube video's (including this one) having ALL CAPS titles?! It makes me not want to watch them, although it may be different for the general public for some reason ... ??

Google's paper came out in October, before the fuss about the term supremacy. This post by Aaronson is from today (19th of Dec.). The Nature letter referenced in the post was from the 10th of Dec.

Lovely introduction to pulsed radar systems. Would love a similar piece on continuous wave systems (fmcw, for example). Thanks for this!

As a minor nitpick, I dislike the term "Holland" when referring to the Netherlands. Additionally, you're based in Den Bosch, which is not even in Holland. (you say "made in Holland" in your logo)

Very well written and balanced article. Thanks for sharing these insights. Looking forward to another "tiny corner" of your explorations of these technologies!

Please cite the scientific articles (not newspapers) making such claims. I don't think there is any credible report of these allegations.

There's a difference between scientific predictions and popular-press predictions. Your example (“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is”) is not a scientific one, but one spread by popular press with no scientific research to

The major drivers of climate change are known. Pretending the "science isn't settled" is sticking your head in the sand. Solar irradiance, CO2 and water vapor are important, but some are more important than others. Educate yo

That book can claim what it wants. I am waiting for the science to back up those claims. Physical evidence of CO2 causing global warming has been presented for over 120 years. Arrhenius was the first to propose that such a mechanism can cau

There has been a correlation over the past ~10k years between solar activity and global temperatures. This non peer-reviewed book seems to spread the (false) message that this correlation still holds. However, it thereby neglects the role o
