nts out. Over 99 percent of all Alzheimer drug attempts failed. He was one of them and it was in a subsidiary of his company and they never sold any stock in the subsidiary. So the stock you know was worth a zillion dollars and then it was worth zero but he rode it all the way. He rode it to the top. He rode it at the bottom which was the ethical thing to do because there was a point where he could have sold the stock at the top before he knew if the drug worked. He could have done that. Decided not to. Decided to let his investment follow the actual result of the trial. The trial said it didn't work and then that was the end of it right.

So that's his version. Let me say that the only thing I know for sure is that that was his explanation. I wasn't there but it sounded right to me.

There's a study out of CU Boulder that says that opposites don't really attract. So aren't you glad you studied that? You know I've been wondering why Lizzo wasn't returning my calls but science has now answered this. Apparently opposites don't attract. So no call coming for me.

Was there anybody who needed science to tell them that people like to have something in common? You know the important stuff in common with their mates. You know they like to have the same religion usually. They like to have same at least political leaning. They like to be somewhere in the same age usually unless one of them is rich. And yeah I feel like they didn't need to study this so much huh? Do you think they wasted a little money studying this? Feels like it. Feels like it. Yeah.

Well let's talk about Ukraine and I'm going to talk about the double slit experiment if you haven't had enough science.

All right. Ukraine allegedly, don't believe anything coming out of Ukraine. Don't believe anything coming out of Ukraine. This is just the story we're told that Ukraine has made a small puncture in the Russian lines. But I have to admit I was trying to visualize what difference that makes because it seems to me if you punch through a line then you're right in the middle of the strongest part of the Russian military which is their side of the line. So it feels like it could be a trap. You know bring in all the good assets. Oh we finally got through. Put our best assets through the hole and then you know they get destroyed.

So I was trying to sort of visualize you know how that works. But then I saw an explanation that I liked a lot which is that the Russian forces, this is according to Dave DeMaro a retired US Army non-commissioned officer who was a front line military intelligence person during the Cold War and in Iraq so he knows what he's talking about.

And he says that the Russians don't know how to fight in all directions. In other words you've got a lot of let's say artillery batteries that are designed to shoot bullets, they're not bullets you know shoot artillery in one direction. Now obviously they could turn it around but it's not meant for up close fighting right. So if you can get a small heavy machine gun kind of truck you can just pull up behind the artillery battery and wipe them out because they're not really designed for defending from behind.

So the idea is that if you get a few assets through the line you can get behind some of their stuff. Totally mess up their coordination because they don't know what's going on because you're shooting them from both sides and then there's chaos and then somehow you can take advantage of that. So that's the idea.

So that's not my prediction or anything just so you wondered how that works. It's the deal is to get behind people who are not good at defending you from behind. So there's more to it but that's one thing. I wasn't obvious to me so I like that explanation.

How many of you are aware of the physics experiment called the double slit experiment? I'll tell you what it is but how many of you are familiar with it already? A lot of you right. It's a famous experiment in which it gets to the question of whether light is a particle or a wave. Have you ever heard that? If you're like a science nerd you've heard oh sometimes light is a particle like a photon and sometimes it's a wave. What the hell does that mean? What's a wave?

I never understood that until finally somebody explained the wave is just probability. Why don't they just say that? A wave and then they say the wave has collapsed so the probability has colla
