A scientist plays STARFIELD

We're going all in. If it's Fallout in space, I'll be happy. And I know  you'll be happy with the raw amount of SCIENCE TIME we'll be able to get  out of this game.

Our next [HALF-LIFE HISTORY] will be...

[EXPEDITION FUKUSHIMA]

In our first footage from my 10-day trip to Fukushima last April, we will discuss the recently approved plan to release contaminated water into the ocean in detail. We didn't plan on having the timing for the video and the news line up so well. Hopefully you will learn something new, and get excited for the rest of the series.

Nerds, as usual, I need your help before we deliver to the masses.

This Knot Has Never Failed. Why?

Hand in your recording devices to one of the Kevins. The video will be disseminated to the public soon, and I expect to see you nerds there! Discussion of the episode will commence in #the-facility-episodes on the Discord after the screening.

NEW [MERCH] IS HERE!

https://shop.kylehill.net/

How do you write warnings about stored nuclear waste for people 10,000 years from now? A one-of-a-kind study in 1993 tried to figure that out. We've now taken some of those classic images and turned them into hardcore millennial-style t-shirts, sweaters, mugs, and holo-stickers!

Show your love for all things nerdy, nuclear, and s...

New episode for all [STAFF] tomorrow

Ever been rock climbing? Wonder how even first time climbers can learn a single knot and be totally safe the same day? Tomorrow's video is about the physics of the knot...that has never failed.

New [MERCH] next Tuesday!

Riffs on 30-year-old nuclear waste warning messages. Depressed Millennial designs.

On the next episode of Kyle Ball Z!

We get back on the wall with more climbing physics, with help from the incredible Xyla Foxlin! (https://www.youtube.com/@xylafoxlin)

Oppenheimer’s “Terrible Possibility”

In the next [HALF-LIFE HISTORY]

Hopefully you're not too sick of all the Oppenheimer media because our next nuclear story is the specifics of almost* setting the world on fire.

There are many videos on this out there, and there's even a line in the movie about it, but this will be our take on it -- a script adapted from my days at Because Science.

Inside a Working Nuclear Power Plant

Had an awesome visit at my first non-destroyed nuclear power plant! Super eager to help me, very kind, very cool.

Well, it wasn’t very cool because it was 100F and 60% humidity, but that CANNOT STOP THE SCIENCE.

Nuclear waste video in the next few weeks.

New [MERCH] Incoming!

THIS MAY BE MY FAVORITE MERCH DESIGN EVER. 

Decades ago, a report trying to address the problem of long-term nuclear waste storage came up with some designs and warnings that were meant to be understandable -- and ominous on purpose -- for at least 10,000 years.

I decided to take those old designs (like enormous spikes protruding out of the ground where waste is buried) and warnings and turn them into incredibly meta...

How Hiroshima Survived the Bomb

[THE FACILITY] is Everywhere.

It's like a TARDIS with more production value and less spiked hair and trench coats.

Changing my perspective

I know we talk about nuclear disasters and weapons a lot on this channel, but none of it really feels "real" until you see horrible aftermaths in person.

The bombing memorial in Hiroshima was harrowing, to say the least.

These are two more stills from our upcoming [HLH] about the city, releasing later this week.

While in Hiroshima...

I was actually interviewed by the local news. They were asking foreigners what they thought about the (then) upcoming G20 in their city.

It was a broadcast segment, so no video of the interview exists (I think), but it was definitely an experience to speak about what I was doing to a reporter from the city.

From our next [HALF-LIFE HISTORY]

After visiting Fukushima, I traveled to Hiroshima, to see the site of the world's first offensive atomic bomb blast. It's an amazing city.

Before going there, many asked me why, if the city was nuked, was it still there? Why isn't Hiroshima radioactive, and therefore, abandoned? 

That's the question we will answer in this next episode. Using everything from history to nuclear physics, we will explain how Hiroshima su...
