The Action Lab is a channel dedicated to performing exciting experiments and answering questions you never thought to ask! Please enjoy as I answer the "what would happen if..." questions you have. Feel free to comment with any questions you have about anything. I have my PhD in Chemical Engineering and I want to share how awesome science and experimentation can be!

The Physics of Power: Why Coherence Beats Cloud Compute Every Time

We often assume that massive systems require massive power. But understanding the physics of directed energy—whether air or data—shows why local, self-hosted infrastructure is the only way to ensure true control.
