When we published a video from Hiroshima, a new kind of conspiracy theorist crawled out of the woodwork. Dozens of comments that claim that nuclear weapons donโt actually exist. Noted Science Zaddy Kyle Hill explains the evidence for nuclear weapons, and why this โtheoryโ might be worse than the idea of a flat Earth.

The latest reason to oppose A.I. isnโt artistic or economic; itโs physical. The robots are coming for our water, billions of liters of it, and that number is only going to increase. But are data centers really poisonous water guzzlers, on track to drink up both jobs and H2O? Or is their water usage a distraction from what we should really worry about? Itโs complicated. Dr.*Kyle Hill explains.

In 1985, a state-of-the-art radiation therapy device called the THERAC-25 started blasting holes through patients bodies, leading to the worldโs first death by radiation treatment overdose. It killed two more people before anyone knew what was going wrong. Why?

Nuclear fusion is potentially the last energy technology humanity will ever need. So why donโt we have it yet? Despite major breakthroughs, fusion reactors still face enormous engineering challenges. From extreme temperatures to neutron radiation and material limitations, building a working fusion power plant may be the single hardest problem humans have ever tackled. So is fusion really just โ10 years awayโ? Noted Dude-terium Kyle Hill explains.

If you want to get to know them better first, check out one of their videos about the restoration of barren land under power lines https://planetwild.com/r/kylehill/m15
It is generally accepted that we are now at the beginning of a sixth mass extinction. Its caused by humans, and it might be the first that affects the six-legged arthropods among us. Noted Bug Zaddy Kyle Hill explains whatโs happening to the insects, and what will happen to us if we let them disappear forever.
