It is more like horrors than secrets ... you don't even need to walk around ..you can start with testing the food you buy in the grocery -- you will be amazed. Depending on where you live you'll might find out that the wilderness around you might be high radioactive as well; i.e. Central and Eastern Europe ..because of the radioactive cloud when Chernobyl happened. Because of that even today in Bavaria, Germany wild animals have to be tested for radioactivity whenever they are up for sale. It is not recommended to eat mushrooms either in mentioned regions.

If you want to learn how to built a reactor you can pretty easily especially now that we have interet. It takes time and knowledge to learn by your own but it's not that hard. Hell i probably could make the plans to build step by step a reactor if given enough time, and anyone who as me has studied physics could. If you know the theory, the science behind you understand how it works and what general steps are required, you have a very broad idea of how to do it Finding the knowledge is realitively easiy and will never be impossible nor should it. That knowledge is also a byproduct of many other scientific projects or notions and without banning physicis you're just gonna have to accept that people will always be able to learn how to make deadly thing.

“Sliding door moment.” So that’s what it’s called. I’ve experienced one of those myself and it was incredibly profound, though was more of a sliding door hour. Last February storm Eunice hit Great Britain with fierce winds amongst other things. Cooped up in my home I was casually flicking through UKposts when the algorithm took me to a livestream of planes struggling to land in those strong crosswinds. They flew into the wind and moved diagonally towards the runway at Heathrow Airport. I was absolutely transfixed by it. I had to learn more so the next day I began reading and studying it and found it fascinating. I kept learning until I eventually attended a jobs fair after the pandemic and found a company that provides ground support to airlines and so I approached them, got an interview and got the job. I love this job and I’m happy. But if I didn’t watch that livestream I’d have never known that I like aviation. That sliding door completely changed my life.

That is pretty firmly within the arbitrary definition of genius. The thing is though, genius doesn't exist. The thing that's mistaken for genius is often unintentional preparation. There are far more people that society would otherwise call geniuses just floating around unrecognized in society than most would believe. They may lack motivation, or development, or opportunity. But they are brilliant nonetheless. Often times highly focused in niche fields. They are part of the mechanism that allows society to adapt and thrive in spite of difficulty.

He researched, found help, and applied what he learned when improvising. Yes he is smarter than average but it's not like he is DaVinci, designing solutions to problems that don't exist yet or Tesla, invisioning entire massive machines in his mind. Not to mention the fact that he lacks the common sence not to build a nuclear reactor, unsupervised and without propper precautions. He is smart, resourceful, and highly-motivated - but no genius.

Sadly there are far worse radioactivity items floating around. The worst I've ever seen was a little velvet lined box at a swap meet that had 5x 100mg vials of pure crystalline radium bromide. I had a bunch of CDV 700 Geiger counters and the needle pegged in the first two ranges. It was a guy across the road that had a bunch of old radium aircraft gauges and radios. He had the little box on his table completely oblivious of the extremely dangerous contents. The tiny vials literally bleached the violet felt lining white near the vials. The box was so hot it made the old Geiger counter unresponsive at 12 feet from it. It measured about 45R/Hr on a CDV 715 meter. Warned the guy selling it that it was indeed actually radium and rather dangerous. This was 2014 at the Milwaukee ham fest that year. 😳

Also... To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality'). I recommend researching 'narcissitic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissits'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)! European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!! The are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-rape, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim or damsel in distress, creating 'flying-monkeys', and paying others to attack (or at times kill) someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Elliott Till. ISFP (and ESFP) are the most complicit, narcissitic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependants' (look up the definition). SUMMARY: Evil personality: ESFJ (ALL), ESTJ (cluster-b) [Secretly] Evil and narcissit-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL). ☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict (and at other people's expense, truly evil).

I was doing experiments in a shed made by myself in the backyard. but I was not very good at school, specially in subjects that I still consider a waste of time. My father thought I was failing at school because of all the nonsense I was doing in the backyard, and trashed all my equipment.

Hahn: I quietly wondered if he was related to Dr. Otto Hahn, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1944 for his discovery of the fission of heavy nuclei? .

West Germany issued a commemorative coin for Dr. Otto Hahn in 1979, the first non-Silver commemorative 5-Mark. Maybe they hoped that an aspiring nuclear physicist / coin collector in the future would be able to convert the copper-nickel into Silver using something like proton bombardment. To be accurate, they did issue 18 off-metal strikes in Silver which are quite rare and valuable. Question is, why 18? Wasn't David Hahn 18 when he pulled off his little nuclear Boy Scout stunt?

I remember reading his story, a while ago. That was a well put together video, you didn't demonize him, you pointed out what he had the potential to do but sadly never reached it.

While he didn't demonize David he certainly demonized Nuclear Energy. It's quite safe today and we solved the waste issue decades ago. In reality it's the improper storage of the waste of weapons material refinement and Three Mile + Chernobyl (which was stupidity not an accident) incidents that put the US public off of sticking with Nuclear Energy.

That chemistry book is "normal" in my view. I grew up in the 70s and "modern" chemistry books had pretty much the same content. Dangerous stuff simply means that you have to learn to handle it. I got most of my chemicals through my mom who worked in a chemistry lab... we always had big jugs of halogenated solvents, isocyanate and various acids in our cleaning cupboard, you know, for the usual tasks around the house...

I miss erector sets. I'm in my 40s wishing I had a huge pile of erector set parts. Did have a chemistry set as a kid. Otherwise known as 20 bottles of fluid you shouldn't drink. I guess that's why I don't see them around.

I do have a bottle of hydrochloric acid in the bathroom cabinet. Some idiot gave it to me when I wanted draino, a strong base, but hcl strong acid almost blinded me. Took a while for the burns to heal. Luckily no scar from the black acidic sludge that erupted from pipes that sure shouldn't have hcl due to being steel. Draino, would have not exploded its reaction onto my hands and face, ruining my clothes eating holes... also remember toilet has water. Dilute acid to neutralize. Hands shoved in toilet. Then fushed, for more fresh water. Felt amazing compared to having my flesh melting. Wear your PPE!
