Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson also field listener questions on orbital mechanics, neutrinos, alien communication, and time dilation.The discussion is broad, but the main thread is clear: how real-world physics shapes everything from Venus's history to the future of spaceflight and even the look of space-age uniforms.Key topicsVenus is Earth-like in size, mass, and gravity, but unlike Earth it has no moon, and the episode explores whether it may once have had one.Fred explains a modeling study led by Stephen Kane suggesting a Venus moon could have spiraled inward, crossed the Roche limit, and been torn apart by tidal forces.The team discusses what evidence might remain if Venus once consumed a moon, including possible chemical fingerprints in the atmosphere or surface.Satellite pollution is examined through the lens of reentering spacecraft, especially the growing number of Starlink reentries and their impact on the upper atmosphere.The European Space Agency's jet-based chase of two reentering Cluster spacecraft, Tango and Samba, is described as an effort to measure reentry byproducts directly.The conversation raises concerns about aluminium oxides, atmospheric chemistry, and whether repeated reentries could have broader consequences such as ozone depletion.The final main story looks at proposed United States Space Force uniforms and why the design drew immediate comparisons to World War II-era fascist aesthetics and Starship Troopers.Andrew and Fred note how uniform design can shape perception, and why the new concept feels divisive rather than inspiring.Timestamps00:00 - Intro and setup for the episode00:41 - Venus, satellite pollution, and Space Force uniforms preview04:40 - Venus as Earth's twin and why it has no moon08:21 - Modeling a missing Venusian moon09:20 - Gravitational tug-of-war and moon migration toward Venus11:44 - Conditions for a moon to survive around Venus12:43 - Possible traces of an ancient moon impact16:06 - Satellite pollution from reentering spacecraft17:16 - Starlink reentries and atmospheric contamination18:14 - ESA's jet chase of reentering Cluster spacecraft20:06 - Observing Tango and Samba during controlled reentry21:45 - Why the atmospheric consequences could become controversial23:12 - Wood as a potentially more benign spacecraft material24:16 - Space Force uniforms and the first visual reaction25:34 - Starship Troopers and deliberate fascist design cues27:29 - Why the proposed uniforms feel unsettlingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

230: *6-year anniversary episode* Punch On - Mark's Prostate Cancer Story: Surgery, Salvage Radiation and Getting on With Life in the Bush

Episode Overview:  In this episode of The Penis Project Podcast, Melissa talks with Mark, a 56-year-old rural firefighter from the South West of Western Australia, about a prostate cancer journey that has had just about everything in it: an aggressive cancer, surgery, a rising PSA, salvage radiation, penile rehabilitation, one very memorable trip to the emergency department, and a bloke who simply refused to sit down and feel sorry for himself.  Mark had never been crook in his life. He only asked for a PSA test because a mate who had been through prostate cancer kept nagging him about it. During a routine work medical, his mate's voice popped into his head, and he asked the doctor for the test. The GP asked why. Mark asked for it anyway. The result came back with an elevated PSA, and as Mark puts it, he nearly fell off the chair.  What followed was a biopsy in Bunbury, a two-hour trip from home, a Gleason 8 diagnosis, and a radical prostatectomy in Perth, four hours away. Mark and Melissa talk about the tyranny of distance in Australia: every appointment being a whole day, the cost of staying away from home, and the men Mark met who were driving four hours a day for radiation because they had nowhere to stay.  Mark also talks about the parts nobody warned him about. The catheter that started leaking around the sides and scared the daylights out of him. The pads. The pelvic floor exercises he started before surgery because his mate Grant told him to, and which he credits with getting him dry within a few weeks. And then, months later, a phone call from his surgeon to say the PSA was creeping back up. Which resulted in radiation treatment. He declined the testosterone-lowering therapy that was offered alongside the radiation, because he did not want the fatigue and flatness during fire season. He worked right through his treatment, and three days after his last “nuking session”, as he calls it, he pulled up at work to get the job done.  And yes, we talk about erections. Mark did the work: the daily tablets, the vacuum pump, and eventually injections. The first injection dose was too generous and Mark ended up in a country emergency department with an erection that would not go down and, by his count, six or seven people in the room having a look at his old fella. It is a very funny story and also a serious one. It changed how Melissa practises: every country patient now goes home with an emergency reversal injection so nobody else has to make that drive.  This is a warm, funny, plain-speaking conversation about what it takes to get through prostate cancer treatment especially when you live a long way from anywhere, and about why looking after your penis is not optional extra credit. It is part of your body, and it deserves the same care as everything else.    In This Episode, We Cover  Why rural and remote men face extra barriers to prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, from long travel distances to limited local specialist access    What to expect physically after a radical prostatectomy — catheter care, continence pads, and the importance of starting pelvic floor exercises before surgery   Penile injections as a treatment for erectile dysfunction after surgery, including how dosing is calibrated and what to do if an erection won't go down (priapism)   Why starting penile rehabilitation early — even before erectile function is a priority — supports better long-term outcomes   The decision-making process behind choosing radiation with or without hormone (testosterone-lowering) therapy after a rising PSA   Bowel and bladder side effects of radiotherapy, and that ongoing symptoms don't have to just be tolerated   Why masculinity isn't defined by erectile function — and how partners consistently describe what makes a man "masculine" to them   The value of connecting newly diagnosed men with those who've been through treatment already, so they know what to expect    Key Message from Mark  Mark's strongest advice is to find someone who has been through it and will give you the whole picture, not the polite version. He says it is a bit like going to war: if you have not been there, you do not know. Having a mate who told him warts and all meant he walked into every appointment knowing roughly what was coming and what to ask.  And when things go wrong, his answer is simple. You can sit there and cry, or you can punch on. Mark is a realist. He knows the PSA may go up again. If it does, he will deal with it then. In the meantime, he is back on the dozer, still getting tested, and getting on with life.  Resources & Links  Book a telehealth appointment with our sexual health nurse practitioners at https://rshealth.com.au/book-appointment or email admin@rshealth.com.au  We also have a free Resource Library, sign up for access here: https://rshealth.com.au/resource-library  For more information check out our websites www.rshealth.com.au , www.makehardeasy.com.au and www.melissahadleybarrett.com.au   Click here to shop for medical devices and other products mentioned on the show https://restorative-health-clinic.myshopify.com/   Click here to watch Melissa's YouTube videos: Melissa Hadley Barrett  Need Support?  At Restorative Health Clinic, we support men and their partners with:  Penile rehabilitation after prostate cancer treatment  Erectile dysfunction  Vacuum pump and constriction ring education and prescription  Penile injection therapy  Intimacy and sexual recovery  Partner-inclusive support where appropriate  Practical, evidence-based strategies for rebuilding confidence and function    We offer telehealth consultations Australia-wide and internationally, making it easier for men to access experienced, compassionate support no matter where they live.

The Superhero Show #638Fantastic Four: Daredevil's IntroductionThe Superhero Show — Daredevil's IntroductionThis week, The Superhero Show kicks off the second season of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with “And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them.” The season premiere immediately shakes things up: the Fantastic Four have lost their powers, Doctor Doom is once again coming after them, and a mysterious new ally steps in to help—the Man Without Fear himself, Daredevil.The hosts take a close look at Daredevil's Introduction, the team's surprising new status as powerless superheroes, the ways they attempt to adapt, and the major changes that make Season 2 feel noticeably different from what came before.Daredevil's Introduction: Meet the Man Without FearOne of the biggest highlights of the episode is, of course, Daredevil's Introduction.Matt Murdock first appears as a blind lawyer and friend of Alicia Masters before revealing himself as Daredevil. When Ben initially questions how someone who is blind could possibly help the Fantastic Four, Daredevil quickly proves that his heightened senses and abilities make him more than capable of navigating situations that would leave others helpless.The hosts discuss this version of Daredevil, including his personality, his fighting style, his interactions with the Fantastic Four, and how well he fits into the world of the show. They also talk about the fun of seeing another Marvel superhero dropped into a Fantastic Four story rather than simply appearing for a quick cameo.Daredevil's Introduction: The Fantastic Four Without Their PowersThe episode begins with the Fantastic Four dealing with the consequences of Doctor Doom's previous attack. Radiation from the explosion has disabled their powers, leaving Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben suddenly unable to rely on the abilities that have defined them.The hosts discuss how interesting it is to see the team forced to operate without their usual advantages.Reed has to turn to science to develop artificial ways of recreating their abilities, while Johnny and Sue use technological substitutes for their powers. Ben, meanwhile, is presented with the most complicated decision of all: without his powers, he's no longer The Thing—and he actually enjoys being human again.The hosts explore how each member adapts differently and whether losing their powers makes them more interesting as characters.Daredevil's Introduction: The Fantastic Four Find New Ways to FightWithout their powers, the Fantastic Four have to get creative.Reed develops equipment designed to replicate their abilities, including an exoskeleton for Ben, a flame rig for Johnny, and an invisibility simulator for Sue. The hosts discuss how strange it is to see the Fantastic Four essentially wearing homemade versions of their superhero costumes and powers.There's also an important emotional component to Ben's situation. He finally gets to experience what life might have been like if he had never become The Thing, and the hosts discuss the conflict between wanting his normal life back and recognizing that his powers are part of who he has become.Daredevil's Introduction: A New Doctor DoomThe episode also introduces a noticeably different version of Doctor Doom.The hosts discuss the new voice performance and characterization, particularly how much more theatrical, sophisticated, and commanding Doom feels compared with his Season 1 incarnation. The new portrayal gives Doom a greater sense of gravitas while still allowing him to have some wonderfully ridiculous moments.Doom takes advantage of the Fantastic Four's vulnerability, believing that their loss of powers has finally given him the opportunity to defeat Reed Richards once and for all. He takes control of the Baxter Building and uses the team's own technology and defenses against them, forcing them to rely on their wits and their new ally.The hosts discuss whether this new Doom is a better representation of the character and how the voice performance changes the way he feels as a villain.Daredevil's Introduction: Doctor Doom Takes the Baxter BuildingWith the Fantastic Four powerless, Doom sees his chance to finally conquer their headquarters.The hosts recap Doom's assault on the Baxter Building and the various traps he sets for the team. Without their traditional powers, even basic obstacles become serious threats.This forces Daredevil to step in and help guide the team through situations they would normally handle themselves. His heightened senses allow him to navigate dangers that the others cannot, making him a surprisingly useful addition to the team.The hosts have fun discussing the irony of the Fantastic Four needing help from a blind superhero because they are suddenly unable to use the powers they've depended on for so long.Daredevil's Introduction: A New Season, a New Fantastic FourBeyond the story itself, the hosts spend time talking about the biggest change of all: Season 2 looks and feels different.The animation style has been revamped, the opening has changed, and the overall presentation feels more polished and closer to the comic books. The second season also brought changes behind the scenes, including a new animation production setup and recast voice roles.The hosts discuss whether they prefer the new visual style and how noticeable the transition is after watching the entire first season.For them, Daredevil's Introduction isn't just the introduction of a new character—it's also the beginning of a new era for the series.Daredevil's Introduction: The Fantastic Four Get Their Powers BackThe episode eventually brings the Fantastic Four's struggle to a head as Reed's technology provides a way for the team to regain their powers.Ben faces the biggest choice when he realizes that becoming The Thing again means giving up the normal life he's briefly enjoyed. Ultimately, he chooses his friends and his responsibility as a member of the Fantastic Four, returning to his rocky form and helping the team confront Doom.The confrontation ends with Ben getting the upper hand on Doom, while the Baxter Building itself is destroyed in the chaos—leaving the Fantastic Four homeless heading into the new season.Final Thoughts — Daredevil's IntroductionBy the end of Daredevil's Introduction, The Superhero Show finds plenty to be excited about as the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series enters its second season. The introduction of Daredevil gives the episode a fresh dynamic, while the Fantastic Four's temporary loss of their powers forces the team to rethink how they operate.Add in a revamped animation style, a new overall tone, and a much more commanding Doctor Doom, and “And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them” feels like a genuine reset for the series. The hosts break down what works, what feels different, and why Daredevil's Introduction makes for such a memorable way to begin the next chapter of Fantastic Four.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

The first 30 days after being diagnosed with breast cancer can feel devastating. You're processing a lot of information, dealing with emotions and often trying to figure out what to do next. Joining us on Real Pink's 400th episode today is Jennifer Omholt, a journalist and 24-year cancer survivor who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer when her son was just 16 months old. In the wake of her diagnosis, she desperately searched for something to ease her fear and confusion, but found nothing that offered comfort or clarity. Over the next two decades, she set out to create the resource she wished she'd had, so that no one would need to face the shock of a cancer diagnosis alone. Jennifer is here today to share her story and what helped carry her though her breast cancer experience. Key takeaways: You don't have to solve cancer all at once; focus on the next best step. Finding the right medical team can make a profound difference in your care. Self-advocacy means asking questions, trusting your instincts, and seeking second opinions. Letting others help can ease the emotional and practical burden of cancer. The fear of a diagnosis can fade as you gain knowledge, confidence, and a sense of control.

A new study reveals a critical vulnerability window during pregnancy when cell phone radiation exposure can cause lasting brain damage in developing offspring. Researchers exposed pregnant rats to nine hundred megahertz EMF radiation -- the same frequency range as cell phones -- during different stages of pregnancy. They discovered that exposure timing matters profoundly. Radiation during the final week of pregnancy triggered significant brain cell death in the hippocampus, the region critical for learning and memory. Earlier exposure showed no such damage. This timing coincides with a crucial period when new neurons are forming in the developing brain. In This Episode Why the final trimester represents a critical vulnerability window for EMF exposure The specific molecular pathways that lead to brain cell death in developing offspring What this means for pregnant women using wireless devices Simple, practical steps to reduce prenatal EMF exposure Featured Study Read the full study: An Evaluation of Neuronal PARP-1 and Caspase-3 Levels in the Brain Tissue of Female Rats Exposed to Electromagnetic Fields at Different Gestational Stages See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Have you ever faced a moment where your life was brought to a complete halt, and you realized you needed something deeper than distractions to survive?   This week, my guest is documentary photographer and artist Nathalie Latham, whose life took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with stage-three cancer at age 39. Nathalie joins me to share her extraordinary story of how she used oil pastels and drawings as a literal confirmation of life during eight days of intensive, round-the-clock radiation.   We talk about the magic of growing up in a musical family, the power of having just one adult who understands you as a child, and the silent pressure of the "safe" career path. Nathalie also shares why it took fourteen years before she could bear to look at her radiation drawings again, and how she now infuses her mantra practice into drawings of prayers for peace.   It's an invitation to stop overthinking your creative expression and start treating your creative practice as a vital act of self-connection.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through curiosity and play. In this episode, we discuss: The Power of One Person: Why having just one teacher stand up for your creativity can change the trajectory of your life. The Safety Tangent: Why we often choose the responsible path to please our families, and how we eventually find our way back home. Art Store Radiation: Why Nathalie packed a box of art supplies for her cancer treatment room and how drawing became her proof of life. Befriending the Trauma: The slow, patient process of healing and learning to find wisdom in our most difficult experiences. Prayers for Peace: How to combine spiritual practice with your creative practice to create a landscape of inner calm. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour? We get together once a month for a relaxed, co-working-style session where you can work on whatever you want—without any pressure to do it "right."

"They're really worried that radiation is going to be painful. So they come in for that first day of treatment very anxious. With our patients with brain cancer, we're using the masks on the table, and those masks are very tight and hold their heads very, very still. So they'll be very worried about being claustrophobic. We may start out the first day or two with a little bit of [lorazepam].

Highlights From This Episode "With primary tumors—glioblastomas, astrocytoma, all of those types of cancerous primary CNS tumors, the tumors are not very well-defined. They have little tentacles that kind of go out, so doing something like Gamma Knife, which is very precise, is not as effective as an external beam because the external beam will deliver radiation to all those little tentacles that are out there in the brain. And with Gamma Knife, you really can't effectively do that." TS 2:34 "When we're doing radiation to the brain, fortunately there aren't that many acute toxicities involved. Sometimes they'll have some mild dermatitis. Usually, it's not very significant. They, like everyone else who gets radiation, will have fatigue. Usually once we get to the end of the second week of radiation, into the third week for our patients with primary CNS tumors—the hair loss—they'll start to notice hair loss just in the treatment area. But those are typical, the things that we've seen most. Sometimes we'll have patients who will experience some nausea, maybe a few headaches, but really the acute toxicities are not severe typically with our patients with brain tumors." TS 8:30 "[For] the fatigue, I tell patients to just listen to their bodies. We don't want them to be sedentary, and we want them to go out and continue living their lives. But I do warn them that the fatigue is pretty much common to all patients receiving radiation at various degrees, depending on the patient. I just tell them to do what they feel like doing, and then when they're tired to rest, and if they find themselves having a nap in the afternoon, that's okay." TS 13:51 "What I find with these patients in particular is that a lot of times, their first symptoms related to any type of cancer are CNS symptoms from brain metastasis. Our patients with lung cancer or melanoma—they come in through the emergency room for altered mental status or seizures or something like that. They find a mass in their brain, and then they find a mass on their lung, or they find masses everywhere. Typically, they want to treat the brain masses first before they start them on any kind of systemic treatment. And so, they'll come to us, and they're in shock. Everything's happened very quickly. They haven't had a chance to really catch their breath. They're overwhelmed. And so I try to make sure they understand that everyone that they see here is part of their team and is with them through this journey and they're not alone." TS 25:36 "A couple of years ago, ONS put out an email asking for people to volunteer to do a delineation study about the feasibility of doing a radiation oncology certified nursing exam. And I, just on a whim, responded to that email. It's not something I've ever done before, and thinking that I would not be put on the team. … And I thought, 'I don't have enough experience, I don't know what I'm doing, and they won't choose me.' And lo and behold, they put me on this role delineation study. … I have met so many incredible nurses with all kinds of experience. I've learned so much. It has opened up a lot of things for me and it's been really exciting, so all I can do is say take advantage of those opportunities when they come. Don't think that you don't know enough, because you know more than you think you do." TS 32:38

Love the podcast? Send us a text!Listen to hear three very different perspectives on what radiation for metastatic breast cancer can really look like and what these women want others to know before starting treatment.Radiation can play a very different role in metastatic breast cancer than it does in early-stage disease.It may be used to treat a specific metastatic site, help control cancer in the brain, liver or bones, relieve pain, or—as you'll hear in this episode—become part of a much larger treatment strategy.In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, Laura is joined by Kacie, Sara, and Joyce, three women living with metastatic breast cancer who have experienced radiation in very different ways.Sara shares what happened after her breast cancer metastasized to her brain, including surgery, Gamma Knife radiation, being fitted for a radiation mask, hair loss, fatigue, seizures, and the emotional weight of undergoing treatment to the brain.Casey was diagnosed de novo metastatic with liver metastases and underwent cryoablation and SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) as part of an aggressive treatment approach. She talks candidly about the long-term effects of radiation—including weakened ribs and fractures—as well as the scans that eventually showed her liver metastases disappearing. Joyce shares a different side of radiation: palliative radiation for painful bone metastases. She describes how radiation dramatically improved her hip pain, while also discussing gastrointestinal side effects and radiation burns that required additional care. Together, their stories offer an honest look at the questions many people have before radiation: What will treatment actually feel like? How do you know if it's working? What side effects might happen? What can make the experience easier? And how do you weigh side effects against the possibility of controlling cancer or improving quality of life?In this episode, we discuss radiation for metastatic breast cancer, SBRT, Gamma Knife radiation, brain metastases, liver metastases, bone metastases, palliative radiation, radiation masks and claustrophobia, fatigue, skin changes and burns, hair loss, pain relief, scan results, long-term side effects, and quality of life.Most importantly, this conversation shows why there isn't one universal “radiation experience.” The location being treated, type of radiation, treatment goal, and individual patient all matter.The experiences shared in this episode are personal and are not a substitute for medical advice.

In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about the Trump administration working to undermine California's efforts to pivot away from fossil fuels, the pork industry's powerful influence over regulations concerning concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), and new research showing that athletes consuming a plant based diet have just as much energy and strength as those consuming animal foods. Then Cindy Folkers, Radiation and Health Hazard Specialist at non-profit Beyond Nuclear talks about a new proposed regulation from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that would allow the public to be exposed to increased levels of radiation, lowering costs and regulatory hurdles for the nuclear power industry.

Three Deadly Days in August: James M. Scott on Truman, Hirohito & the Two Bombs That Ended the War

Keen On Democracy

“There is a big chasm between defeat and surrender. Surrender is inherently a political decision.” — James M. Scott Exactly eighty-one years ago, on August 9, 1945, the United States dropped its second nuclear device on Nagasaki. Three days earlier, on August 6, the Enola Gay dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima. Little Boy and Fat Man. Our nuclear Rubicon had been crossed. Three days in August that changed the world. These historic 72 hours are the subject of Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War, by James M. Scott, America's foremost chronicler of the Pacific War. This new book, Scott reveals, grew out of Black Snow, his history of the firebombing of Tokyo. But whereas Black Snow was a military study, he explains, Empire of Ashes focuses on Truman, Hirohito and the politics of nuclear warfare. By August 1945, Scott argues, Japan was already defeated. So surrender was a political decision — one that required a weak, figurehead emperor to summon the power to save his country from an even darker apocalypse. Should America regret these August days? Harry Truman certainly didn't, Scott notes. In fact, in 1958 Truman even held a press conference in Independence, Missouri, to fire back at Hiroshima's city council when it suggested that he should. Nor does Scott render much of a moral verdict of his own. “Nobody needs to hear James Scott in Charleston, South Carolina tell you what it is you should think,” he explains, suggesting that we can all make up our minds by reading Empire of Ashes. So two bombs, somewhere between 150,000 and 246,000 civilian deaths, and no crime? That, oddly enough, might be the biggest tragedy of those three days in August 1945 that changed the world forever. Five Takeaways •       Defeat Is Not Surrender. Scott's organizing insight: as destructive as it was, the atomic bomb was inherently a political weapon, aimed at the chasm between a nation defeated and a nation willing to say so. Surrender is a political act — and Japan's politics ran through Hirohito, ostensibly the center of political, cultural, and spiritual life, in practice a figurehead bypassed by militarists who had consolidated power through the 1920s and '30s under the standing threat of assassination. His first peace soundings had to be conducted incognito, for fear of his own army; not until June 1945 does he rise to the occasion. Truman, by contrast, emerges as strong and morally serious — a First World War artillery officer who inherited the Okinawa bloodbath, approved the invasion of Japan, chose what he saw as the lesser evil, and then stopped all further atomic use the moment surrender came.•       The Firebombing Precedent. Would FDR have made the same call? “Absolutely. No doubt about it.” The moral threshold had already been crossed on March 9, 1945, when Curtis LeMay abandoned precision bombing and burned Tokyo — 105,000 men, women, and children in a single night, the most destructive conventional raid in history. The Pentagon braced for public outrage, monitoring editorials, radio, and the floors of Congress. None came; Time wrote that “properly kindled, Japanese cities will burn like autumn leaves.” LeMay took the green light and burned 64 cities — 170 square miles — before the first atomic bomb ever fell. War Secretary Henry Stimson confessed his amazement to his diary; FDR, with every opportunity to rein it in, said nothing. When Elliott Roosevelt later claimed his father would never have dropped the bomb, Stimson publicly corrected him.•       The Second Bomb Mattered More. Scott's most counterintuitive argument: Nagasaki, not Hiroshima, ended the war. Atomic energy was the AI of its day — over a hundred academic papers in 1939 alone, new physics programs at Berkeley and Chicago, dreams of atom-powered ships — and Japan, which had its own failed program, knew exactly how ruinously expensive a bomb was to build. So after Hiroshima, the militarists reasoned the Americans could not possibly have another, and held to the plan of bleeding the invasion on the beaches for better terms. A second city destroyed seventy-five hours later shattered the illusion: if they can drop one every three days, they may have twenty — or two hundred. As for simply telling Tokyo? There were no channels beyond dropped leaflets and slow relays through neutral capitals. You could not, as Andrew noted, email in those days.•       In the Room Where It Happened. Scott's method — borrowed, he says, from Hamilton — is to put readers in the room: the White House, the Imperial Palace, and above all the streets. He has interviewed survivors in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki across multiple books, and the physics of the firestorm connects all three: heat that melts concrete, fuses coins into lumps, welds roof tiles to kitchenware. Only five photographs were taken in Hiroshima on the day of the blast — stunned people, sitting. Organized rescue took thirty hours to arrive. In Nagasaki, the thirsty and burned waded into the river to die, so many that their bodies formed a dam. Radiation sickness began within thirty minutes. These are beautiful, functioning cities today, Scott notes — which is exactly why the accounts matter.•       No Regrets, No Verdict. Truman defended the decision to his grave — and then some: when Hiroshima's city council passed a resolution in 1958 urging him toward remorse, he wrote back that Japan had started the war, then held a press conference at his museum in Independence to distribute the reply. The Oppenheimer film's chilly Oval Office scene is overdramatized, Scott thinks, but true to the core: the buck — and the moral weight — stopped with the commander-in-chief, not the scientists. Scott himself, pointedly, renders no verdict: “Nobody needs to hear James Scott in Charleston, South Carolina tell you what it is you should think.” Both sides laid out, 95 percent of the documents public, the reader left to grapple — which is perhaps why Black Snow sold well in Japan, and why Empire of Ashes will be published there next August 6. About the Guest James M.

The Sun is getting bigger, hotter, and brighter. The change isn’t enough to notice during a human lifetime – or even a thousand lifetimes. It plays out over hundreds of millions of years. And it’s all the result of changes deep inside our star. Like all stars in the prime phase of life, the Sun is “fusing” atoms of hydrogen in its core to make helium. That generates the energy that makes the Sun shine. As the amount of helium builds up, the core gets denser, so gravity squeezes it more tightly. That speeds up the fusion reactions, making the core even hotter. Radiation from the hotter core pushes on the Sun’s outer layers, making the Sun bigger. It also makes its surface hotter. The combination of bigger and hotter makes the Sun brighter. So over its four-and-a-half-billion-year lifetime, our star has grown about 15 percent wider, and perhaps 40 percent brighter. That should mean that the young Earth would have been an iceball. But studies suggest the atmosphere was much thicker when Earth was young. The atmosphere also contained much more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. They trapped more heat, keeping Earth from freezing over. The Sun’s bigger-hotter-brighter trend will continue. In perhaps a billion to two billion years, it’ll be so hot and bright that Earth’s air and oceans will boil away. That will reduce our planet to a bare cinder. Script by Damond Benningfield
