Want to increase happiness with gems?
Gemstone infused water bottles, also known as crystal water bottles, are marketed as having special hydration benefits due to the gemstones added to the water. Proponents believe that the gems can infuse the water with positive energy and improve physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. It is important to note that the benefits of drinking water come primarily from its hydration properties, not the addition of gemstones.

TIME TRAVEL: The RACE IS ON WITH ELON!
As you can imagine, I was rather surprised to learn that one of the Elon Musk fanboy groups, in this case, Elon Musk Evolution, issued a veiled challenge to me on Youtube. Now, I already have a challenge in the works - that I'll get time travel to the past to work in order to evacuate people from here to the distant past in an operation we call Earth:12KB4 before Elon can get people to the planet Mars. I expect that we'll be able to achieve the required breakthrough next year. Recently, Musk announced he was delaying a SpaceX launch to Mars back to 2029. I have Elon in a strategic "check" because as long as I have a breakthrough before 2029, he loses and he can't deny our competition because that would mean he's not going try to get Mars. This proves that he is not focused on the threats to the future that he claimed to be.

20 Million Miles to Earth
***20 Million Miles to Earth is a science fiction monster movie from the Fifties, made more charming and more exciting by the fact that it dispenses with the typical "guy in a rubber monster suit" in favor of really impressive stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen, the pioneer, and legend in this field. (To slightly misquote Stephen King's seminal nonfiction study of horror, Danse Macabre, Harryhausen use to "pal around with a guy named Ray Bradbury" when he was a kid.")

The new fuel to come from Saudi Arabia
On the edge of the Saudi Arabian desert beside the Red Sea, a futuristic city called Neom is due to be built. The $500bn (£380bn) city – complete with flying taxis and robotic domestic help – is planned to become home to a million people. And what energy product will be used both to power this city and sell to the world? Not oil. Instead, Saudi Arabia is banking on a different fuel – green hydrogen. This carbon-free fuel made is from water by using renewably produced electricity to split hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules.

Metropolis (1926)
There has never been a film like Metropolis, which was lensed nearly one hundred years ago, and which has an enduring power that verges on the supernatural. You may think I exaggerate; I do not. I first saw the film in a dream, as a child, before I EVER SAW A SINGLE FRAME OF IT.
