The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the largest machine ever built. 27 kilometres in circumference. 10,000 tonnes of superconducting magnets. It operates at -271.3°C. Colder than outer space. The coldest extended region in the known universe. Here's why: The superconducting magnets that steer protons around the ring must reach near absolute zero to lose all electrical resistance. Any warmer and the magnets fail. Any malfunction causes a "quench", a sudden loss of superconductivity, which releases enough energy to melt the magnets. A single quench event in 2008 caused $40 million in damage and shut the LHC down for 14 months. When the LHC is running: • Protons travel at 99.9999991% the speed of light • They complete 11,245 laps per second • 600 million collisions happen per second • 15 petabytes of data are generated per year The engineering to maintain a 27km machine at -271°C, continuously, for years, while 600 million collisions happen inside it per second, is arguably more remarkable than what the physics discovers.

RT @levelsio: Helicopters are a fundamentally flawed design The moment you even slightly hit or lose the tail rotor the whole thing spins…

For every start, taxi, takeoff, approach, and landing that we do in the aircraft, we make use of a checklist. Even when we do more tens of those in a day, we make use of a checklist. A simple checklist before throwing someone off the bridge would have prevented this. Sad…

The first thing you should buy with money is a lifestyle that allows you to think more clearly.

This is why pilots/surgeons that have been flying/operating for decades still have to use checklists. Complacency. May she rest in peace. Such a tragedy.

Why are Dollar and Euro pluralized but Naira isn't? "I have 5 dollars." ✅ "I have 5 euros." ✅ "I have 5 nairas." ❌

My frontal lobe fully developed, and I realized that working a 9 to 5 job five days a week until I am 60 just so I can “enjoy” a few years when I am close to death is the worst idea I have ever seriously considered.

Nigerians are very creative when punishing criminals until it comes to thieving politicians.

This same mindset is the reason Nigerians love Ponzi schemes, they hate to question how things work.

If you hear me call you millionaire that means you have atleast 1 million dollar All this people calling themselves millionaire because they have 2 million Naira are just two months away from abject poverty. Same for billionaire, to called a billionaire you should have $1Billion

Technically, tackling corruption solves everything. It's a major root cause of basically all the problems.

Soludo is not bothered about roads, health care, youth employment, agriculture, security, or the economy of Anambra. His full time occupations are burials, herbalists, miracles, mortuary and every other nonsense in the book. A useless professor!

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money. Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

Nigerians have this terrible habit of pocket watching and sizing people. It has become such a habit that they don't even realize when they're doing it. The average Nigerian will size you up before according you any level of respect. From customer service staff at the bank to receptionists, waiters, waitresses, business owners, people at the gym, parties, clubs—you name it. You could be talking to a Nigerian for the first time, and they'd be stylishly looking at the kind of phone you're using, the watch you're wearing, the car you drive, the wig you're wearing, your bag, and so on. The moment they perceive you to be rich, you can immediately notice the difference in how they talk to you and treat you. And this is exactly why so many Nigerians live fake lives. They call it packaging. People have realized that looking rich often gets you more respect than actually being respectable. So everybody is trying to look like they're doing better than they really are. This sizing culture is also why Nigerians pocket watch so much. People are constantly calculating how much you make in a month, what you do for a living, how you can afford to travel all the time, where you got the money to buy your car, how you're able to live in a particular neighborhood, and so on. They don't do this because they want to be inspired to go harder. Most times, it is simply pocket watching. Someone said a few days ago that, "So a helicopter flight in Monaco is $150, and Sophia Egbueje made it look like $100,000." Mind you, she didn't imply it. She didn't say anything about the cost. But because Nigerians are professional pocket watchers, they filled in the gaps themselves and ran with it. They do this all the time. And the craziest part about pocket watching is that once people have sized you up, mentally calculated how much you make, and concluded that you're rich, they automatically start thinking they're entitled to some of the money you make. Such a ridiculous way to live life.

Some share acquisitions done in recent years....

A pattern I've noticed in successful men: they disappear from the world for months at a time to force pure focus on themselves and their vision. They laser in on one meaningful goal and make it a reality.

In the next 4 months, Be the man who has zero desire to be seen. Just busy, paid, hard to reach, and out of sight. You'll go far in life.
