And then you're saying it's 3D printed.

These cold plates.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

That's really cool.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah, that one is actually kind of complicated too.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

All right, let me go on to the third one.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

In a recent extensive survey of Arctic fish, researchers found the first example of a fish, the snailfish, that is able to use its tail fin for backward propulsion.

Okay, well at least this one is straightforward.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

So the first one about the volcano, I would need a lot more information to be able to really suss this one out.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

So I just got to say I don't know about that one.

The second one about the copper plating, I mean, I could see that they could come up with some type of enhanced cooling system that's a lot more energy efficient, you know, using these 3D printed copper plates.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

That doesn't sound crazy at all.

Now, Kara did not like the fish swimming backwards with its rear fin, right?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah, I mean, and that just seems to go against everything that that's designed to do.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Kara did not like this one.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I don't like this one either.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

I wonder, Jay, do they do what they did in Apollo 13?

The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Like, okay, we have this important problem.

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

Here's all the things that they have at their disposal.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

Let's figure out how to fix this.
