Antennas Expose the Secrets of Light - Dr. Hans Schantz, DemystifySci #355

From the copper spines of antennas to the invisible dance of light, our conversation with Dr. Hans Schantz traces the story of physics most students never hear about. Dr. Schantz, a theoretical physicist turned engineer who studied under John Wheeler, unpacks the forgotten role of physical mediators in electromagnetism and what modern antenna design can reveal about light itself. Along the way, we wander through the epic moments of the 20th century quest for understanding light, from aether theory to pilot waves, connecting lost ideas to cutting-edge engineering.

YOU - The Master Entrepreneur - A Guide to True Greatness with Stan Hustad

... In the media and in the marketplace today. First of all let me tell you about my burning bush birthday and maybe you can figure out what it was and what it means. If you still can't figure it out let me know and I'll tell you the whole story personally because it's important for you too!  But since everybody in America listens to the radio or watches television or is involved in someway with the movies... Now everything you thought you knew about that has changed and will change a lot more in the right now future, so let me take a few minutes to help you begin to sort it out and do something smart! And now it is time for STOSH the robot to report on the radio show! If You're Not Streaming, You're Just Dreaming A message from the Impact Zone on the burning bush birthday of transformation By Stan Hustad   It's my burning bush birthday. That's right. You can guess what that means—or let it remain one of life's good mysteries. But here's what matters: I'm still standing, still stirring things up, and still trying to help good people like you thrive in a fast-changing world. And today, I've got a message that's as urgent as it is liberating. If you're not streaming, you're just dreaming. There it is. I said it. And I'm saying it again because this is the week it became official. According to the latest Nielsen ratings, for the first time ever, streaming has overtaken the combined total of broadcast and cable TV viewing in the United States. Read that again. Streaming is no longer the future. It's the present. Broadcast and cable TV? They're down to 44.2%. Streaming now commands 44.8%—and the gap is only growing. And guess what? That shift changes everything. Not just for entertainment, but for communication, for business, for marketing, and for how we share our ideas, tell our stories, and build trust. From Airwaves to Antennas to Algorithms I'm old enough to remember when AM radio was king. When you needed a 30-foot TV antenna with guy wires just to catch a blurry black-and-white signal from Chicago. I delivered newspapers when every home had one. Today, in my apartment complex? Only one unit gets a daily paper. The rest of us are living digital—whether we know it or not. I've been broadcasting for over 45 years. I've seen the rise of FM stereo, the fall of print, and the digitization of almost everything. But nothing compares to the transformation happening right now. Streaming is more than a new channel. It's a new world—a new medium demanding a new mindset. The Opportunity and the Challenge This isn't just trivia for media nerds. This is your wake-up call. If you want to grow a business, start a movement, sell a product, or make a difference—you must learn how to show up on camera, behind a mic, and on demand. Podcasting, YouTube, livestreams, Zoom, LinkedIn video, TikTok, digital radio… these aren't fads. They're foundational. And now AI is accelerating the change. What used to take teams of experts can now be done by one creative entrepreneur with a laptop and a message. But here's the catch: if you don't get in front of this wave, it's going to crash right over you. “Radio” used to mean transmitting sound across wires and waves. Today, radio means “radiated communication”—amplifying your voice, your vision, your value. And now everyone can have their own radio and TV network. You can too. What You Can Do—Right Now 1. Stop waiting. Start streaming. 2. Invest in your presence. 3. Repurpose everything. 4. Use AI wisely. 5. Build your own network. Final Words from the Burning Bush Birthday Boy This week, I released my second book for the Christian Entrepreneur Network: How to Be a World-Class Jesus Entrepreneur. It's a project born out of this new era—a book written, designed, and published using the tools of streaming and AI. It's proof of what's possible. I'm not done. In fact, I'm just getting started. If you want help, I'm here: speaking, coaching, teaching, producing, broadcasting. Helping you get your voice out to the world—wisely, powerfully, purposefully. So here's my birthday challenge to you: Don't just dream about a better future. Stream it into existence. Reach out to me at stan@wittradio.net Let's create something meaningful. All the best and blessings, Stan the Radio Man Key Takeaways from the Impact Zone - Streaming has officially overtaken traditional broadcast and cable. - Digital media is now the dominant force in communication and commerce. - The tools are in your hands—use them or lose out. - AI is not a threat if you learn to partner with it. - Every person, brand, and business needs a streaming strategy—now.

Astronomers Detect Mysterious Explosion That Defies All Patterns

Something really weird happened out in space, and astronomers are totally baffled. A strange cosmic explosion lit up the sky, and it might be a super-rare event where everything lined up perfectly — or it could be something completely new that no one's ever seen before! It's called EP240408a, and it was first spotted by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on April 8, 2024. At first, it looked like your typical gamma-ray burst, which usually blasts out insanely bright X-rays. But the more scientists looked, the more things didn't add up. Now everyone's wondering if we just witnessed something brand new in the universe! Credit: CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

PODCAST: This Week in Amateur Radio SPECIAL BONUS AUDIO - AJ8B Interview with ARRL CEO NA2AA With permission from the "DX Mentor" Bill Salyers, AJ8B, we are proud to present his interview with ARRL CEO David Minster. This is from Episode 63 of "The DX Mentor". You can visit Bill's Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@thedxmentor and be sure to like/subscribe to his channel to get notified of future episodes. You can watch the video on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/yxWD-qI2DJM?si=TRK4mHSFsQt7ZpuP Send Bill an email at "thedxmentor" at gmail Facebook: facebook.com/thedxmentor About the DX Mentor: The purpose of The DX Mentor channel is to provide a way to recruit, educate, and retain amateurs who have some level of interest in DX. Whether it is a passing interest in chasing DX, someone who is fully invested in chasing DX but needs the “next level” of information to continue their journey, or those amateurs that are interested in DX and want to learn more on a broad array of topics, we want to help them all along the journey. The format of these videos is a little different than other amateur radio channels for several reasons. First, it is not a host waxing philosophically about their personal experiences. The host will play the role of mediator ensuring that the topic is addressed while allowing flexibility for the guests to share experiences and knowledge. The host is the DX Mentor, not the DX Guru!
