I love watching the old acellus lives and seeing how much everything has changed.
How does the first one work?
How did the second person make something so cool?
I’m the first comment in 2026! It’s amazing how 100 years ago we didn’t even really consider electronics and technology
So coollll!!!
Those are amazing inventions
I am so happy to be here!
🥇
Now I’m the newest comment haha. 🙂

I want to attend CES some day, but not to present anything, just to see everyone’s incredible idea.
And also, the Korean fan base IS HUGE.
Especially thanks to k-pop.
Now i am the newest comment!
It’s neat to be able to go back and watch shows from before I joined Acellus. To be able to see CES, a science show from before everyone was scared of catching covid 19.

Enjoyed going back and watching episodes I was not able to attend
I like that I was able to go back and watch the first episode of Science Live.
The micro robot that Dr. John was talking about at the beginning of the episode, that’s incredible that they made a robot that small but if I didn’t know it was a robot I would have been wanting to take a fly swatter to it as well.
Not going to lie. I am probably going to call keyboards tacos and headphones blueberries from now on. Lol.
They have been doing this a long time
I love science live!
WOW! the bug was cool
I went back in time to January 8th, 2020!
so cool
I thought r-51 was here since the beginning of time
It’s the boss.
Dr. B!
