"The surface area of human lungs is equivalent to a tennis court."

"As you can imagine, this was done by a dude bringing a jar out, holding their breath, opening the jar, waving it around, putting back on the lid, then resuming their breathing. Every day, twice a day.  

The technology for testing these samples for the different isotopes and exact measurements that are actually useful was invented and brought to the island in 1978. Let that sink in. They collected jars of air for 20 years before they actually had a way to test them properly, and did it every day, twice a day. All good scientists are mad scientists, the crazier, the better."

"The isotope emits positrons (literal antimatter) as it decays. The positrons interact with electrons in your body and annihilate, creating gamma-ray bursts, and we are able to track that light/energy to create a detailed 3D map of your body. We use antimatter every day to help save lives."

"Even me just writing this, the primary motivation would be to gain attention and demonstrate my knowledge. Sure, I just want to share, but even that is rooted in attention-seeking behaviour. At first, it’s a little disturbing realising that none of us can escape it. But it’s part of being human. We are wired to be this social, and it has helped us to survive."
