Is @MLB rigging "America's pastime" with tampered baseballs?
@isqiisi first reported Dr. Meredith Wills @Bbl_Astrophyscs, astrophysicist & knitting enthusiast dissected 200+ balls & found deliberate changes: thicker laces for more drag, lighter inner yarn for "juiced" flight. HR surges (2017 record) & deadened postseason balls (2019) point to manipulation. @SI_PHnews
MLB owns @RawlingsSports, since 2018—perfect for "tweaks." Add gambling partnerships (@DKSportsbook @FDSportsbook ) & @Athletics Vegas move under Commish Manfred. Blisters on pitchers, Tommy John spikes—coincidence? Wills' report found "Goldilock" balls mixed in 2022 for unpredictable outcomes.
@MLB 's 2019 committee report (83 pages "suspiciously" not available...) admitted drag changes but claimed no intentional alterations, blaming "manufacturing variability." They dismissed lace thickness as a factor, despite Wills' data showing otherwise, and didn't replicate her methods. Wills countered that variability alone doesn't explain consistent surges/deadening across seasons
She disassembled acquired official @MLB @RawlingsSports balls layer by layer—core (pill), inner/middle/outer yarn, cotton thread, and leather cover stitched with red laces—measuring weights, circumferences, and seam heights. Her analyses revealed:
Lace Thickness and Seams: Using the "wraps per centimeter" method (a clever fiber arts technique), she found 2014 laces wrapped ~40 times over 3 cm (thickness ~0.78 mm), while 2016-2017 laces wrapped ~36 times (thickness ~0.85 mm, a 9% increase). Thicker laces create prouder (raised) seams, reducing drag by ~4% (per aerodynamic models), allowing balls to fly farther—explaining ~25% of the 2017 HR surge (from 1.16 HR/game in 2014 to 1.26 in 2017). This also correlated with blisters: Raised seams increase grip friction, blistering pitchers' fingers (e.g., 2016-2018 "epidemic").
In 2020 "live" balls (juiced), inner yarn was lighter (~50.88 g vs. ~54.30 g in "dead" balls). 2019 regular season balls had lower seam heights and smoother leather, boosting HRs by 11% over 2017 records. Postseason balls reverted to higher-drag designs, deadening offense suddenly.
Collaborating with researchers from Utah State, Wills linked seam changes to altered aerodynamics. Raised/lowered seams shift the wake (airflow behind the ball & drag), affecting pitches' movement.
@TheCUTCH22 @Ben_Yoel this may explain your previous concerns...

Everyone talks #Rockets . Few talk logistics.
A #Mars colony needs megaton throughput, not just launches.
We already have materials like #graphene that could scale elevators, armor, and storage. Add self-healing systems and megastructures stop being fragile — they become adaptive.
Exploration used to mean gambling on the unknown. Now the industry plays it safe with boosters.
The next #space race isn’t rockets vs rockets. It’s rockets vs tethers. 🚀➡️🛰️

Why hasn’t @elonmusk @SpaceX @NASA pivoted to elevators/tethers?
#Starship moves ~100–250 tons/launch.
A #Mars colony needs 1,000,000+ tons. Even at daily cadence, that’s decades away.
One mission = 10,000 MT → 5 launches → ~50,000 launches.
Elevators w/ #graphene & #CNT could move 170,000+ tons/yr.
The industry is stuck recycling #rockets. Real exploration means betting on new physics and new materials — not just bigger boosters. @ISECdotORG @Erdayastronaut

Graphene just broke a fundamental law of physics.
Its electrons just did something physicists thought was impossible. For nearly 200 years, metals have obeyed the Wiedemann-Franz law – the rule that electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity always rise and fall together.
But in ultra-clean graphene, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science found the opposite. As electrical conductivity increased, thermal conductivity dropped, shattering a principle taught in every physics textbook.
The key lies at the “Dirac point,” a strange electronic tipping point where graphene is neither a metal nor an insulator. Here, electrons stop behaving like individual particles. Instead, they flow collectively as a nearly perfect fluid – a state called a “Dirac fluid.”
This discovery doesn’t just rewrite the rules for graphene. It provides a tabletop window into extreme physics usually reserved for black holes and high-energy colliders. Scientists say this behavior could help probe mysteries of quantum entanglement, black hole thermodynamics, and the very fabric of matter itself.

Biology is full of small components (a cell, an ant, a bird) that, given simple rules, form complex systems (an organism, a colony, a flock). Inspired by nature, “complexity engineering” seeks to design building blocks that can self-assemble into any form. quantamagazine.org/self-asse…

The best founders I know are a little bit delusional.
They believe they can disrupt entire industries.
They know their niche product will scale.
They think they can out-execute $1B+ incumbents.
Everyone else calls them crazy.
“Big Tech already dominates that space.”
“You need 10 years of industry experience.”
“You can’t raise without traction.”
But here’s the thing about “crazy” founders:
They don’t wait for permission.
They ship anyway.
They iterate anyway.
They sell anyway.
While rational people are still polishing their deck, these founders already have early users.
Venture needs more delusional optimists.
People who believe their idea matters.
Who are willing to look silly while pitching.
Who know they can win even when the odds say otherwise.
Every breakout company started with someone “irrational” enough to ignore the experts.
Your “crazy” idea might be exactly what the market needs.
Stop listening to reasonable advice that keeps you safe.
Start building something unreasonable.
Tag your most admired founder! Let’s make them known 👇
🌌 Phase-Shift Intelligence is coming.
Not AGI that just solves our problems —
but AGI that rewrites the questions themselves.
Quantum systems + self-evolving algorithms won’t just answer us.
They’ll show us where we were too primitive to ask.
This isn’t acceleration.
This is a dimensional shift in inquiry itself.

👻 GhostMatter isn’t a concept. It’s a build-in-the-dark, field-ready R&D lab.
Graphene. Energy systems. Smart armor.
We don’t “raise,” we prototype.

Ever wondered what DARPA's hiding in their battery labs? 🤔 Ultra-dense solid-state power for endless drone flights, nuclear-derived cells lasting decades, or graphene magic pulling energy from thin air? Black ops might already be using them for ghost ops. What's next—soldier suits that never die? #DARPA #BatteryTech #FutureWarfare #Graphene #2dmaterials
