It’s amazing what you can find on the web if you look hard enough. Today’s find is some kind of podcast of what sounds like a radio show, and as part of this show they play a little game called “Win those tweezers”, styled after the TV game show “Who wants to be a millionaire”. The first question… is about us!!! This segment starts about a minute into the video, and I’ve embedded it below:
Their choices are:
A.) A tractor beam that can move microscopic particles (The right answer)
B.) A phaser that can stun human beings
C.) Transport a cube of sugar a distance of 0.001 cm
D.) Read better on airplanes
No one picked A… can’t blame them though, I wish I could build a phaser for stunning other people. Teleporting would be cool if I could figure out a way to do it for more than 0.001 cm 
I’ll put a post up later about some science that wasn’t done by us, but this was just too cool and funny to pass up posting
