The Assassin's Water Bottle

This water bottle allows you to carry two different liquids and dispense them from the same nozzle separately or together at your command. It's a collaboration between myself and Steve Mold that you can pre-order now.

It all started when Steve and I were talking about the physics behind the Assassin's teapot, and I said something like, "Wouldn't it be amazing if there was a water bottle that worked in the same way?" Then he probably said something like, "You have such good ideas, Michael, and you're so handsome." I think that's exactly how the project began.

Over the next few months, we designed a portable version of the Assassin's teapot: a double barrel water bottle with no moving parts that uses just surface tension and air pressure. We even designed mathematical koozies that can hide the secret or be removed to reveal and teach.

We call it the Assassin's water bottle. We are only going to make a limited number of these, so pre-order today. The future of drinking starts now. The future of poisoning people stops now. Do not use this for that.

World's Lightest Solid!

This is aerogel. The world’s lightest, that is least dense, solid. This piece has a mass of just 1.22 grams. That is only a few times the mass of the same volume of air, which kind of makes sense because it is 99.8% air. In fact, some aerogels are so ligh…

Life's Biggest Questions

Use the other day, one bitter, but then I took a step back—not literally, of course—but I really thought about it. I came to the conclusion that nothing in life really matters. Here’s why: The Earth has been around for four and a half billion years. One …

I think the interesting thing, one of the most interesting things of the book was when you talked about going from, what was it, a four-person company? Well, it started with me and another guy, and yeah, three people. Three, okay. And how many? 1500? 1500…

What happened with Sillicon Valley Bank and what it means for the economy
