The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Because, you know, I'm not an enthusiast like Bob is.

So this is like completely based off of nothing other than what's in my head right now without any like empirical understanding.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

or nothing, right?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

I'm just guessing here.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

So this is what my skeptic, you know, my critical thinking guess is going to be on this.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

That gravity functions the exact same way, no matter how small or far the distance is, everywhere in the universe at the same time.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

So that one, apparently I'm agreeing and saying that this is, that one is science as well.

So the obvious one here that seems crazy is the one that's making this milliseconds claim about strengthening titanium, both in its overall strength, because there's different types of strength, as we know, which you didn't specify, and its dulcetility.

Ductility.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Ductility, right there.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

It's very ductile.

The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

You know, the thing that bothers me in this position, particularly because I'm going first, is that, you know, I could clearly see that Steve would be playing with this one, meaning it sounds like it's claiming too much.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

It's a perfect one to put in there as the trick, and it's true.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

But the problem is that the other two items to me seem perfectly reasonable.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

So I'm just going to go with my gut and say the one about ductility is fake.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

It's not true.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Don't believe it.
