    engineerguy- You look like Andrew Carlssin, a real self proclaimed time traveler who was interrogated by the FBI in 2003 after he had an impossibly perfect run of good luck with stock exchange that helped him turn $800 into hundreds of millions of dollars in a large streak of highly suspicious investments. The story goes that, Andrew Clarlssin confessed to the FBI in a 4 hour long interrogation that he was from about 240 years in the future and something about wanting to start a company in 2007. In exchange for his release he offered to reveal a cure for AIDS and the location of Osama bin laden who, in 2003 was still in hiding. Andrew Carlssin was arrested but a mysterious stranger paid his $1 million bail and he hasn't really been heard from since except supposedly in a phone call made years later

    No real knowledge, but I would hazard to quess that the mirror is actually attached as a single plate on top of the "forest" of posts. Then it is cut to pieces (probably with something like laser or stereolithography etching). Thus removing the need to place millions of tiny mirrors. Rather you place one big mirror layer and then section it.

    I used to work in a lab where we experimented with "monomolecular" concrete that used flyash and a chemical bonding agent. It was incredibly strong (8 times the compressive strength of regular concrete) and it was heat/acid proof.... however its main drawback was its viscosity... it couldnt be poured and was quick to cure.

    Concrete would be fascinating; there's probably enough content on the subject for an entire series. I'd love to hear your explanation of the way different compositions have different trade-offs. Or some explanation of the recent attempts to make lighter-weight concrete, and more environmentally-friendly compositions, would be great too, as concrete is major source of CO2 emissions. Material science is always amazing.

I have been going through and watching all of the engineer guy's videos because i absolutely love how everything is explained. I watch all sorts of videos on huge machines and how they work but I rarely retain any of the information but with these videos it always sticks. I don't know if that is because he explains it better or if its because he takes his time explaining it. I really like these videos and the community seems exceptionally nice as well which is really wierd for youtube. I subscribed and will always be looking out for new videos! Also i haven't read a good book in a while so does anyone have any suggestions?
