A dead trout placed in a vortex wake swims upstream without muscle movement, and it won the 2024 IG Nobel Physics Prize. The fish’s flexible body resonates with swirling water patterns, passively extracting energy. Live trout use the same trick, reducing muscle effort by ~50%.

University of Houston Texas paper published at the end of 2022 is sparking a wave of interest Reducing the level of sugar and insulin in the blood for diabetics after eating by 52% (better than many diabetes medications) with a very simple movement and you do not need to make an effort or take any medications. Only by moving a very small muscle located in the calf muscle behind the leg, called the soleus muscle. By moving this muscle while you are sitting in your chair and watching TV, the blood sugar level decreases by a large percentage (by half), and this muscle does not suffer any fatigue, even if you continue to move it for long hours. One of the advantages of this muscle is that it consumes the glucose present in the blood after eating for energy (Glucose) and not the glycogen stored in the muscles like the rest of the body's muscles. Interesting research, and it could be an effective solution for diabetes without the need for drugs, strenuous exercise, and exhausting diets.

Viktor Schauberger was an Austrian naturalist, inventor, forester, and philosopher born in 1885 and died in 1958. He's popularly known as the "Water Wizard" for his lifelong observations of water in nature—especially how it moves in rivers, streams, and vortices—and his belief that modern technology harms water's natural vitality. Schauberger argued that water is alive and has special properties when it flows in spiral, vortex-like patterns (inspired by how trout swim upstream effortlessly or how water swirls in mountain streams). He claimed straight pipes, dams, and chlorinated/treated water "kill" its energy, while natural spiraling movement revitalizes it, increases its oxygen content, cleanses it, and even generates subtle energies (what he called "implosion" rather than explosion-based tech). His ideas blend keen natural observation with unconventional (and often pseudoscientific) claims about energy, levitation devices (like the Repulsine), implosion turbines, and free energy from water vortices. Mainstream science largely dismisses many of his more extreme inventions (e.g., anti-gravity or over-unity energy claims), but his biomimicry approaches to flow dynamics and water treatment have influenced permaculture, alternative water vitalization products, and some ecological engineering concepts today.

In 1887, Heinrich Hertz noticed that some light made it easier for electrons to escape a metal surface, but the pattern made no sense under Classical Physics. The surprise was that very bright red light could fail, while dim blue or ultraviolet light worked immediately. Einstein explained this in 1905 by proposing that light comes in energy packets, and only packets with enough energy can knock electrons free. That was the Photoelectric Effect, and it helped earn him the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Elite performance is not built in isolation, and longevity is not built by mastering a single discipline. Skeletal muscle and metabolic health require nutritional science, progressive resistance, and clinical precision. Movement quality and pain-free physical function require a completely separate expertise around how the body moves, compensates, and breaks down under load. Both are required. When only one is present, the other creates the ceiling. Strength without movement integrity leads to injury. Movement without sufficient muscle leads to frailty and decline. Training with someone whose strengths address your gaps is not a preference. It is a performance and longevity strategy. Collaboration is a force multiplier. The highest performers have always understood that.

Different sports. Same anotomy. Different demands. Same human body. Messi has a hamstring muscle just like LeBron James and Travis Kelce. The sport doesn’t change anatomy or physiology - it changes the demands placed on the athlete. Watching elite soccer players train during the FIFA tournament reminds me of the work we do with college and professional football, baseball, and basketball athletes. The games are different - especially when it comes to the energy systems and cardiovascular demands - but many of the fundamental movement patterns are remarkably similar. Great training doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to transfer. Push. Pull. Squat. Hinge. Throw. Jump. Sprint. Safe. Simple. Efficient. Effective. Regardless of sport, when we build the right qualities in training, they show up on game day.

The Rehbinder effect is a phenomenon in physics that reduces the hardness and ductility of a material by a surfactant film. A surfactant is a substance that lowers the surface tension of a liquid, such as water. When a ceramic cup is submerged in water, the water acts as a surfactant and weakens the bonds between the atoms on the surface of the cup. This makes it easier to pierce the cup with a nail without breaking it.

“I can’t imagine accepting the prize without them.” In this interview shortly after the prize announcement, new physics laureate John Clarke is still stunned by the news. He praises his co-laureates John Martinis and Michel Devoret, who he worked together with at a lab in Berkeley, California, some 40 years ago. Clarke recollects the many discussions and extensive work that eventually led to their Nobel Prize-awarded discoveries. “It took us a long time to get all of this worked out. None of this work would have happened without the two of them.” Listen to the interview here. #NobelPrize

Up to 30% of the weight lost while dieting can come from lean muscle mass—but the right training and nutrition can help you preserve muscle, which is key for metabolic health and reducing the risk of sarcopenia. You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time—a process called body recomposition—if you train and eat strategically. The most important factor is resistance training. Lifting heavy 2–3 times per week is essential for maintaining and building muscle while losing fat. Without it, muscle mass inevitably declines. Nutrition also plays a major role. Eating in a slight calorie deficit—around 10–20% below maintenance—allows for steady fat loss without sacrificing muscle, energy levels, or training performance. Protein intake is another key priority. Research shows that consuming 1.8 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is optimal for muscle retention and growth during a calorie deficit, and going even higher may provide additional benefits. Beyond training and nutrition, recovery is just as crucial. Adequate sleep, stress management, and tracking progress help ensure you’re making real, sustainable changes. Get this right and you have a powerful strategy to build muscle and lose fat. If you want to learn more about optimizing body recomposition, improving VO2 max, and enhancing brain health, tune into the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast, where and I break it all down with insights from top experts.

World Renowned Oncologist says there’s no informed consent with mRNA tech, as the Nobel Prize winning Pseudouridine takes the stage. The order looks backwards: 1. Inject billions. 2. Give them a Nobel Prize. 3. Publish a peer reviewed paper finding something unexpected. Wafik S. El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP - “It should be clear to everyone. Pseudouridine modified mRNA were used for the first time in the population... NEVER BEFORE.” Months after Pseudouridine won the Nobel Prize, a peer reviewed paper was published saying this “upgraded” technology is leading to the production of “strange proteins in the body”. Professor Clancy says: “No one knows what those proteins are doing”. “The Nobel Prize in 2023 was given to two people for putting pseudouridine in a messenger RNA, to make it work better... within three months, a group in Cambridge found that 20% of readouts, and about 10% of people, had strange proteins circulating in their bodies, some of which have the capacity to form amyloid”

Reality check, and it is not a pleasant one. The only evidence that you are building muscle is that the weight on the bar is going up. A bigger muscle produces more force. That is what the tissue is for. If the load has not moved, it has not grown. Everything else, with what it actually tells you: - The pump (blood and water, gone by lunchtime) - Soreness (damage, and damage competes with growth) - Sweat (thermoregulation) - The mirror (lies twice daily, in both directions) - The scale (water, food, and whatever you drank) - Feeling it in the right place (a sensation, not a signal) - Session length (an hour of nothing is still nothing) - Set count (a tally, and the tissue cannot count) - The programme's name (marketing) - Steps, wearables, readiness scores (a subscription) Open the log. Same lift, same reps, same effort, twelve weeks ago. Now the part nobody wants. When the bar stops moving it is almost never because you did too little. It is fatigue, banked over weeks, quietly capping every set you take. The instinct is to add sets. The answer is to cut them, rest properly, and come back in a fortnight to find the weight up while you did less. Muscle cannot get bigger and stay just as weak. If it has not got stronger, it has not got bigger.

Fascia is the body’s intelligent communication system, an interconnected web that stores trauma, emotions, and movement patterns. In my work, I use precise touch, breath, and movement to unwind this system layer by layer. When fascia releases, the nervous system resets, the body realigns, and stored pain, physical or emotional finally lets go. This is why healing doesn’t start in the mind. It starts in the tissue. Here’s a video on fascia:

NVIDIA just dropped a crazy new research idea. Get ready. The same next-token trick behind ChatGPT got pointed at a ragdoll. Honestly the result is unsettling. No exotic new architecture. Chop human motion into a vocabulary of tiny movement tokens. Train a plain GPT to guess the next one, decode it into muscle commands, let physics run. Then the strange part shows up. Shove the character and it catches its own step. Knock it flat and it plants a hand and gets back up. NOBODY wrote a reward for standing up. Here is why this rattles robotics people. Every humanoid team right now is buried under hand-tuned controllers, one for each little skill. 🔵 the old way: script every skill and its reward by hand 🔵 this way: pretrain ONE body on a mountain of motion and the instincts come free Falling and getting up was never programmed. It emerged. Movement is just a language you can autocomplete.

Taking an ice bath after a workout is highly effective for relieving fatigue and muscle soreness. The cold water constricts blood vessels, reducing excessive inflammation and swelling in the muscles and dramatically alleviating subjective pain. If you want to recover quickly from muscle soreness and fatigue, perhaps due to consecutive matches or wanting to avoid affecting your work the next day, it might be worth trying. With that much muscle, he must be experiencing considerable muscle fatigue. It looks very refreshing. (Note: However, this method has a double-edged sword; it can be counterproductive for those aiming to increase muscle size (hypertrophy).) 🏋️‍♂️🤼‍♂️⛹️‍♂️🤾‍♂️💪😆☠️▶️😅💦▶️🛁🧊🥶▶️😇✨

Female Indian Physicist Denied Nobel: Bibha Chowdhuri’s Discovery Taken, Credit Given to Another. In 1940, Indian physicist Bibha Chowdhuri hauled photographic plates up the Himalayas, captured clear tracks of new subatomic particles (mesons/pions), measured their mass, and published in Nature. Her discovery. Her work. 7 years later, Cecil Powell repeated her exact experiment with better (post-war) emulsions, saw the same particles and won the 1950 Nobel Prize in Physics. He got the glory. She got forgotten. Because she was a woman. Because she was Indian. Because colonial science steals credit and calls it “improvement”. Bibha Chowdhuri’s brilliance wasn’t overlooked, it was stolen.

Dan Farah says it would take an impossible amount of energy for UFOs to fly around, therefore they must be aliens. He says this while sitting next to Hal Puthoff, who was nominated for a Nobel prize for vacuum engineering, which is exactly how we get around that problem by manipulating the medium. David Froning wrote about 'unlabored acceleration' significantly reducing the energy requirements for a warp jump. Puthoff knows this because Froning was the founding participant in the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics workshop where Hal was a keynote speaker. Why are these guys pretending like they don't have the answers? I found the answers FROM THEM.
