Have you ever wondered if we’ve been visited by aliens in our ancient past, or if we really landed on the Moon, or if we are all actually living in a computer simulation? Unfortunately, I’ve been sworn to secrecy by my reptilian overlords from Zeta Reticuli so I can’t answer those specific questions, but I can bring you the latest insights into bleeding edge scientific research, advancements in computing and AI, and fact check popular conspiracy theories.

WoWT began as an experiment during the crash of 2008, and became my outlet to advocate for scientific education, skepticism, and dive deeper into headlines, big ideas, and experiments aiming to turn science fiction into science fact. It’s the place to get context and engage with skeptical eyes, to cut through the hype and highlight valuable insights, and get a sneak peek at the future or explore some of the weirdest subjects in science and technology today. (Hence the name.)

Over the years, it had several incarnations, experimented with different formats, and had a few hiatuses, but two things never changed. I;ve never pulled punches when it came to discussing hard questions and the culture in which they existed, and always strived to offer a place to go for thorough, definitive, fact-based coverage of science, technology, and pop sci and tech culture.
