In 1887, Heinrich Hertz conducted a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves, laying the foundation for the study of radio waves and later the development of radio and television technology.

Hertz's experiments were the first to demonstrate that electromagnetic waves could be transmitted and received through the air, and his work was a crucial step in the development of wireless communication technology.

After Niels Bohr won the Nobel Prize in 1922, the Carlsberg brewery gave him a gift – a house located next to the brewery which had a direct pipeline to the brewery so that Bohr could have free beer on tap whenever he wanted to.

Did you know that anti-particles, which have the same mass as particles but opposite charge, were predicted by Paul Dirac in 1928 and later discovered by Carl Anderson at Caltech in 1932? These mysterious particles are crucial to our understanding of the universe.

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the philosopher and physicist Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. It argues that if machine brains surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently intelligent machines could improve their own capabilities faster than human computer scientists, and the outcome could be an existential catastrophe for humans.

If this doesn’t motivate you, I don’t know what does.

33 boosters have been successfully tested and now it’s time to launch Starship to orbit!
