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.

In this video, we’re going to try to figure out what 0.6, or 6 tenths, divided by 2 is. I’ll give you a little bit of a hint; we have 6 tenths plotted on the number line right over here. One way to think about it is if I wanted to go from zero to six ten…

The Desire to Not Exist

Sleep is good; death is better. Yet surely never to have been born is best. These lines close a 17th-century poem by German writer Hinrich Hine. The piece is titled “Death and His Brother’s Sleep.” It compares these two states, suggesting that we experien…
