In a dimly lit laboratory in 1887, German physicist Heinrich Hertz observed a tiny spark jumping across a gap, unaware that this flicker would ignite the era of wireless communication.

Hertz wasn't trying to invent the radio. He was simply trying to prove a scientific theory from another physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, about the existence of unseen electromagnetic waves. 🔬

Using a device called a spark-gap transmitter, he successfully produced and detected these waves in his lab at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

He showed that these waves behaved just like light. They could be reflected, refracted, and polarized, proving they were part of the same electromagnetic spectrum.

Interestingly, Hertz himself saw no practical future for his discovery. He famously said, "It's of no use whatsoever... this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right."

He couldn't have imagined that his work was laying the foundation for everything from radio broadcasts to cell phones and Wi-Fi. 📡

Though his father's family had been Jewish, Hertz himself was raised and confirmed as a Lutheran, and his work stands as a testament to dedicated scientific inquiry.

He died tragically young at age 36, never seeing the wireless world he made possible. But his breakthrough discovery completely changed the course of human history.

SpaceX is accelerating toward Starship v3, with Ship 39 now over halfway finished! We’ve also seen loads of testing at Pad 2, where it’ll launch from. The SpaceX Florida teams are inching closer to installing their launch mount at historic launch complex 39A. And SpaceX has finally given us some juicy updates on their lunar lander design for NASA’s Artemis program.

For all that and more, check out the full video of your Starbase Update, hosted by Ryan Caton! Link in the comments below. 👇

Discovered from space, thousands of stone tombs line mysterious “funerary avenues” stretching across Saudi Arabia’s desert — built more than 4,500 years ago.

These ancient pathways extend for hundreds of kilometers, marked by ring cairns and pendant-shaped burials that have survived thousands of years of wind and sand.

Dating between 2600 and 2000 BC, their true purpose remains unknown. Some archaeologists think they linked ancient communities or ritual sites, while others see them as pathways for the dead — guiding souls through the desert.

Tesla shareholders approved a record-setting pay package for CEO Elon Musk, a plan designed to motivate the world’s richest man with as much as $1 trillion in additional stock.

At the company’s annual shareholder meeting, Musk thanked those who had supported the pay package with more than 75% of the vote. He had threatened on social media to leave Tesla if the measure had been rejected. Musk is already Tesla’s biggest shareholder with a roughly 15% stake. The new package could give him control over as much as 25% of Tesla if he hits a series of milestones and expands the company’s market capitalization to $8.5 trillion over the next 10 years. Its market cap is now around $1.5 trillion.
