I didn't think my memory would be something
I would have to worry about at my age,
but then things changed.
I started a new stressful job, moved across town,
and suddenly I was forgetting names,
missing meetings, losing track of emails.
It was quite embarrassing. Then I found forgetting names, missing meetings, losing track of emails. It was quite embarrassing.
Then I found Better Memory, a natural formula based on a five-year study at UCLA.
I ordered a few bottles and was not expecting much at first.
But soon I noticed the differences.
I woke up with no brain fog, and I can focus much longer during the day and
recall my schedules without relying
on my notes. I feel like my old self again. I was quite impressed, so I had my daughter
try better memory as well. A few months later, she feels less anxiety,
sleeps better, and is more focused. She's embracing and enjoying life much more now. Better memory has changed our lives.
It could change yours, too.
Give it a try.

That's better memory at BeBetterNow.com. Hello my little children of hearts, and welcome to Miniso204.
We're here?
Yeah.
You're here?
Oh yeah.
Take my hand.
Feel its supple baby skin.
All right, you know what?
Don't use my words against me.
It really is moist.
It is moist.
I have never worked hard in my entire life and that's thank to you. Thanks to you patrons my
That's what I'm going for as I'm going for
Nice hard sell. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to the mini-sode everybody. Welcome to the mini-sode boys
What do you got for us this week? Who wants to start?
First today, please do I always patiently wait,
but today is important because I may have read the stupidest thing I've ever
read in my entire life.
And I want to share it with the world immediately. Um,
as you know, on this show,
I try to stick to the science. I try to, you know,
stick to things that are like, you know, like in space, like really cool, like, quantum mechanical things.
But I do my research for this show, and every so often I come across an article, and I'm like, interesting.
Well, this one isn't just interesting. It may be the stupidest thing I've ever read.
Okay. Not the direction I thought you were going to be going with this.
No, no, this is very stupid and it's about
Since we're in this space, it's about ghosts
I'm not going I'm not going to read the title of this article
I'm just gonna read you the content so you can understand where I was. I was like what?
Do ghosts live forever?
Well, it seems strange suggest that something thought of as the disembodied spirit of a dead person can itself
Die after a certain amount of time such a possibility has been gaining traction in recent years among some paranormal researchers
Okay, I gotta say I've ruined you Jesse
I've come across this article the fact that you are now coming across these articles tells me I've ruined your algorithm.
One of these is Brian Sterling Veet, or Vette, a veteran enthusiast of all things supernatural
who has spent a considerable amount of time analyzing data collected from various paranormal
investigations.
According to his findings, sightings of famous ghosts
in allegedly haunted locations around the world are occurring less and less frequently.
Interesting. Especially those that have been around for hundreds of years or more. When
all the data is considered, it was quite a shock to think that many of our once famous
ghosts might literally be dying," he said.
Oh my god.
It was apparent that famous ghosts once notably haunted locations were now increasingly less
frequently haunted and some had not been seen in years. Our research suggests that sentient
ghosts seem to have a limited lifespan just like humans.
That's where the research led them? That's the deduction this man made?
The second law of thermodynamics tells us that energy tends to disperse and degrade over time.
I would argue that our findings show ghosts do conform to the second law of thermodynamics
as they appear to run out of energy.
Given that science does not even recognize the existence of ghosts in the first place,
any research of this nature is clearly not definitive, but it does raise some interesting questions.
If ghosts do exist-
All I'm thinking about is fucking Coco, dude.
Is that crazy?
If ghosts do exist, could they really have a limited lifespan?
And if so, what happens when they die a second time?
Could the mere possibility of something like they suggest that ghosts are, in fact, not necessarily dead but alive?
Or something else? The search for answers continues.
I must stress the leap of logic to go, alright, so we are seeing less and less ghosts
out in the wild, and with more and more equipment,
we pick up less and less.
It's not that the ghosts were never there to begin with,
it's that the ghosts have died.
Somehow the hypothesis hyper-supposes that ghosts are real?
Yes.
So ghosts, one, are real,
but two, all incidents of ghosts,
especially famous ghosts that aren't showing up anymore
Isn't cuz they were never real and just told stories told to get people to go places
But were in fact
dead ghosts now
What does that even look like is there just like a guy like?
Like who's invisible and he's like laying on the ground. I mean, I guess they're saying that if they're made of energy, that energy over time dissipates.
So what about the new?
And I'm going to take a guess.
There must be a correlation between phones and cameras too.
I mean, that's literally what he's saying. He's like,
in the last couple of years we've seen less and less ghosts and it's getting a
little upsetting. Like what happened on the ghost?
The implication, though, is people die every single day.
Surely they would restock the ghost population.
What if cameras really do suck up the ghosts?
I think we have some really cool shit on camera now from
like the hauntings of like the security guard that was clearly like talking to somebody.
That shit's cool.
But the folklore obviously is likely to be the least likely to be real because
it's folklore my theory is that when you die if you become a ghost you get the option to
put on the old ghost clothes of all the miners and my Victorian widows and he gets a cosplay
in the afterlife yeah dude after life is just LARing. It's just LARPing
Yeah, because you could either be a poltergeist which is you know a little scary kind of boring
but if you want to like a little scary kind of yeah, you want to like
Freak people out you show up and you're like could borrow that dress
She's like I'm fading away to oblivion anyway
Take it dear and you put it on and you go like I'll take over your space granny you've created an entire Pixar movie another one
That's not yeah, granny. You've created an entire Pixar movie. Another one that's not even Coco. Yeah.
Yep.
I hate that guy.
That's one of the dumbest articles I've ever read.
I hate that.
It opens with you saying like,
he studied a bunch of investigations that already happened.
He didn't even go out looking himself.
He just looked at other people.
The idea is that it's like most research,
you take the research of other people,
but the idea that your answer
isn't that there's more people searching than ever before and finding less and less.
Thus, I can't say everything, obviously everything, but 90 X percent of them are just like, you
know, fun things people did to get people to show up and like visit the area.
Like that's, it's like like bro, what do you mean?
They're dying?
It's like if you wanna, if you wanna lose Ghostopia
and go back to the human world, you have to dress like
fucking Revolutionary War guys.
It's wild.
And I, that's rough, what an idiot.
Oh God.
Alex, take us next, what do you have?
I got one for you. Okay, so a
Man 63 year old man in South London was taken to the police station
recently and questioned
in connection with a heist of over
950 wheels of cheddar cheese weighing 22 tons
This happened a couple weeks ago in October of cheddar cheese weighing 22 tons.
This happened a couple weeks ago in October.
They said they were the quote, victim of a sophisticated fraud.
There was even a social media post of them posting the like 10 ton order of cheese on
their fucking, you know, social media getting excited.
And then this guy showed up pretending to be a French wholesaler
and he took all the cheese before they realized that he wasn't real. And they got all this
cheese and they like Jamie Oliver got involved. He was like posting, he was like, look out
for like posh cheese. He says it's a shame because there's only a handful of real cheddar
cheese makers in the world.
And that's some of the cheese that got stolen.
But apparently what I've learned from the CBC is that it's actually not that uncommon for cheese to be stolen.
And that in the early 2000s, cheese was the most stolen product in Europe, in the UK. Absolutely. This year in July, a court ruled that a German police officer who was
fired for stealing cheddar cheese from an overturned truck while attending a
traffic accident could not get his job back.
In 2022, thieves stole 161 wheels of cheese worth 32 K.
Good Lord. That's amazing.
32 K CDN from a Dutch cheese farmer.
Um, same thing happens a lot on net in Dutch dairy farms.
Um, in 2016, 8,500 kilograms of cheese was stolen.
Um, like about $135,000 worth.
Italy is also a place that gets a lot of cheese theft in 2016, $ point seven million dollars worth of cheese were reported to have been stolen
the past two years. Even in the United States, where places you think of like
Wisconsin lost 20 K pounds of fresh cheese, which is worth 64 K dollars.
In Canada, 187 K cheese from Saputo Dario dairy in Ontario
In 2019 there's been so many high-profile cheese heists because it's a really high-value food. That's easy to transport
Interesting right I have so many questions about like yeah the underground cheese market cheese network. Yeah
Right like it's like feels like the the the book
Like underground book traders and the underground cheese mongers like hanging out the same great vampire bars. I
Love that if you can get me into the underground cheese network and listener She'll mean to put human on a pot of email comm get me in there. I want to know what about you
All right, boys
I'm gonna I'm gonna let us out here with some science from just
over two weeks ago, actually.
October 19, 2024.
This is a quantum science experiment
that goes back to reproduce and re-prove the double slit
experiment with modern technology
to ensure, like, hey, that it worked.
And they kind of discovered something along the way.
So a groundbreaking achievement by physicists from Imperial College Lungin has brought
new insights into quantum physics by recreating the famous double slit
experiment in the dimension of time. Led by professor Ricardo Sepienza from the
Department of Physics, this research team explored how light
interacts with a material whose optical properties can change within a
within a few femtooseconds, revealing more
about the fundamental nature of light.
The original double slit experiment,
which was performed in 1801 by Thomas Young,
showed that light behaves as a wave.
Later experiments demonstrated that light also
behaves as particles, revealing its quantum nature
of being both.
In this classic experiment, light
was passed through two physical slits,
creating an interference pattern that displayed light's wave properties. This experiment became
crucial in understanding not just light but also the quantum behavior of particles like
electron and atoms. This new experiment alters the classic version by focusing on changes in
the frequency of light rather than its direction. The researchers used lasers to manipulate
the optical properties of a thin film of indium tin oxide,
the material commonly found in mobile phone screens.
By changing its reflectivity with a femto-second precision,
which is a very, very short amount of time,
the team was able to alter the light's color
and produce an interference-like pattern
from different
colors of light interacting with each other.
Published in Nature Physics, this experiment, as Sepienza notes, quote, reveals more about
the fundamental nature of light while serving as a stepping stone to creating the ultimate
materials that can minutely control light in both space and time.
These materials could significantly advance technologies in fields ranging from telecommunications
to medicine.
One of the major breakthroughs from this experiment is the potential for creating new spectros, uh, spectro,
spectroscopies, spectro, spectro, spectroscopies, whatever, spectroscopies.
Yeah, you know I'm talking about. That can resolve in temporal, that can resolve the temporal structure of light pulses.
So the co-author, Professor Sir John Pendry said,
the double time slips experiment opens the door to a whole new spectroscopy capable of resolving
the temporal structure of light pulse
on the scale of one period of the radiation.
I don't know what the fuck that means.
These findings are not just a step forward
in quantum physics, but could lead to the transformative applications in various
industries. By controlling the timing and frequency of light with greater precision,
this technology might one day enable faster internet speeds and more efficient communications
network. Basically using quantum science to make the transformation, transfer of information
instant, nearly instant.
To give some additional information, because I just looked up a femto second,
because I was like, I've never heard this before.
Um, so there's also Pico seconds.
Like there's all sorts of crazy things.
But a femto second is basically 15 zeros after the number.
And it's like either one quadrillionth of a second or one millionth
of a billionth of a second.
So instantaneous.
The best way I figured out how to describe this and I shout out to someone who clearly
wrote this in for people like me on Wikipedia.
Yeah.
A femto second is to a second what a second is to three to thirty one point six nine million years
Holy shit. That's how fast that is. That's crazy
And it varies within that time frame. Yeah, that's crazy. Another one of those like
Time what is time? Yeah, but that's what we're operating in this study, which is interesting, because that's
very fast.
Yeah, it's super quick, which is why it's impressive, but it's cool that they also did
the double time slit experiment with more modern technology and trying to approach from
a different angle.
It's cool.
And that wraps us for our mini-sode, ladies and gentlemen.
