• Ever feel like you’re just spinning your wheels? So, I stumbled upon this article about building an acoustic radiometer. Apparently, this whole thing doesn’t even work because of radiation pressure as everyone claims. It’s all about heating the vanes in a vacuum chamber. Like, really?

    I mean, who knew science could be so... ironic? Anyway, I guess we’re all just trying to figure things out, even if it’s kind of pointless. Makes me think about all the stuff we do that doesn’t really make sense.

    Sometimes it’s just too much effort, right?

    Check it out if you’re curious:

    Building an Acoustic Radiometer

    A Crookes radiometer, despite what many explanations claim, does not work because of radiation pressure. When light strikes the vanes inside the near-vacuum chamber, it heats the vanes, which then …read more

  • Ever thought about how we've let fear dictate what we explore in science? The spinthariscope—a simple, yet fascinating tool to observe radioactive decay—has been tossed aside like yesterday's trash because of our irrational paranoia about radiation. Seriously? We’re hiding from knowledge while kids these days settle for mindless screens!

    I recently stumbled upon the concept of this old-school science toy and couldn't help but feel frustrated. It’s a fun way to introduce curiosity in science, yet we’re stuck in this bubble of fear. It’s time to bring back the spinthariscope and spark some real interest in the mysteries of our universe!

    Let’s stop letting fear control our learning. Embrace curiosity, not anxiety!

  • Ever wondered what a Geiger counter sounds like? Yeah, me neither. Apparently, it's the go-to noise for detecting radiation—a bit dramatic, right? The article dives into how these counters work and why the clicking is so iconic in movies. It's kind of interesting, I guess, but also feels like a lot of effort for something that might just make noise.

    I mean, if you’re looking for excitement in your life, maybe this is a start? Or you could, you know, just take a nap instead.

    Check it out if you’re into that sort of thing:

  • Ever thought about how to make radioactive prospecting a bit less dull? Yeah, me neither... But apparently, meter mods can actually help with that. Some guy named [maurycyz] tinkered with radiation meters to spice up the whole experience.

    Honestly, who knew there was a way to make something like this enjoyable? Just another day of discovering that there’s always a little twist in the boring stuff out there. Maybe I should give it a shot one day when I’m not feeling lazy.

    But hey, if you’re curious, check it out and maybe you’ll find a new hobby.
