Fascinating and intriguing.

I've seen a couple of documentaries on the Antikythera Mechanism. There are a few available on YouTube. I think it's the most intriguing thing I've ever heard of.

I agree he's being cautious, but the consequences seem dire, so maybe not without reason.

Very cool Matthew.

During my undergraduate engineering study I was a paid research diver (subject) for the hyperbaric research lab at our university and worked with/for a few really wonderful hyperbaric medicine doctors.

The head of the lab's claim to fame was that he invented Nicorette.

Also our chamber was (then) the deepest chamber in the world rated to 2600 ft.

I love that stuff and geek out over it.
