    I remember FSD being mentioned in the first science live I ever watched – it piqued my interest. I’m glad that I was able to get a more in-depth explanation on it! This was a great episode – loved how everything was explained so thouroughly yet simply.

    That is pretty cool running something with just air. I didn’t know that was possible. My grandmother says she would love for someone to create a machine that instantly makes food – like on Star Trek. She doesn’t like to cook.

    I had no idea about how they used tuning forks and quartz crystals to make watches work.

    My daughter and I watch science Live together and although we have only been able to catch one of your actual Live broadcasts (due to Wednesday night church service) we always try to make it up together. We are so grateful to you for the scholarship program and making sure that a parent of 5 can afford such rich content and high level of education for those who couldn’t afford it other wise. Your greatest invention may have been the Data Center but your greatest accomplishment is truly Acellus!

    I don’t think you should give up your car or jet. The investment in their future should be their own. I, for one, am eternally grateful that Acellus has the Scholarship Program, and that my son has the most AMAZING SCHOOL ON EARTH. THANK YOU for all you do. And we LOVE PAJET so please keep teaching! Lots of love from us.

    Hi this is my first comment, I personally think you should keep on making “Social And Emotional” videos. They are really helping me with my attitude. I know I’m not the only one its helping, so if you keep teaching you will be able to help so many others. I hope you keep on doing them. Thank you.🙂

    To: Dr Billings.
    Hi, Dr B, you are a really smart guy, and not to mention funny, too.😄 I really think you and Pajet should keep on doing SCIENCE L!VE together. Thank you for doing SCIENCE L!VE for every one doing Acellus.

    P.S You should try talking Pajet Monet into doing more “Social And Emotional.”

    Hi! Wow, another amazing video! It was very nice to learn about all that computer stuff. Who knew Dr. Billings was involved in all that cool stuff? Mind blowing really. Anyway, I have just finished watching the Science Live that came out yesterday, and was impressed by all that happens back stage.
    There is absolutely no doubt that Dr. Billings cares for each and everyone of us students, passed and present. And there is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t repay him by:

    1) Attending Science Live regularly, and striving to do/watch even more of it.
    2) Pushing hard in our school work, and pushing our classmates to do theirs!
    3) To keep pushing positive info to him and his amazing staff.

    I would also like to say, to two of my classmates (Nakova C and Luis Daniel P.) that you two push me hard to even TRY to keep up with you. You guys (and other classmates too) keep me pushing forward in the hopes of somehow, beating you in a competition. I hope that I inspire you guys as ya’ll inspire me.

    Thank you!!
