That was so interesting! Do you know how to fly a jet?
I’m amazed by all the incredible innovations discussed in this episode, especially FSD and its impact on education. Thank you, Dr. B, for your contributions and for providing such valuable learning experiences!
this was very informational thanks for todays live Dr. Billing
Wow Dr. B. You’re so modest about everything you have invented and created in your life! Thank you for all you’ve done
Thanks for the internet! Without it, we wouldn’t be able to have online learning as an option.
I love Computers and Love coding.
The 3D print that could move by only using air was really intresting!
Great computers Dr Roger Bilings
I think 3D printing is awesome!
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.
hi roger billings
We love science live!
FSD has changed the world.
That a very cool invention!
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.
This was awesome!
Hi everyone, that does acellus.
Dr. Billings, how do you come up with all your great ideas? Your inventions are so inspiring.
Why do not many people know what FSD is or how it works? Watching from Illinois!
I want to be an inventor too!
Wow this is so cool
Wow, FSD is a huge accomplishment.
Very interesting topic! Thank you for the lesson Mr Billings.
This is so fun!
The way challenges with FSD arrived and were handled shows how smart DrB is!
I get angry very easily and social emotional helps me a lot so please keep going on with it.
I love Science live I am very thankful for Acellus to help me.
Acellus has had a big effect on myself and my brother thank you so much.

Thank You for creating such a wonderful learning environment and experience for my son to be able to learn in. You’re Science Lives are so informative to both parents and children. Also, our favorite ice cream is Vanilla!
Please Dr. Monet, don’t forsake us! All of us are precious, each and every one of us!
I had never heard of FSD before, but it changed the world very interesting to learn about.
And happy first comment Titus Fields that was really sweet of you to say.
I agree with Brian Y.
What is a CPU?
I thought it was so cool to find out about IBM and early computers.
Roger billings is hilarious.
The 3D printing in robotics is very fascinating!
💕💕💕💕💕
Wonderful!!
WOW! I didn’t know about FSD before. It was very interesting to learn about.
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 loved learning about how they made the watches! This was a really cool episode to watch and learn from.
How did the Japanese company sayco come up with the idea to use crystal and where did they get the crystal from?
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.
I am amazed at what you can do with 3d printing. I am also grateful for the invention of FSD.
That is so cool that you invented the internet! WOW
I like that he talked about his car at the end.
What is FSD used for?
Mr Billings is so cool.
What is a tuning fork?
awesome
This video was pretty cool, learning about the FSD was very interesting. I had not heard of it before.
Mr. Billings is so smart!
The FSD helped changed the world. Great invention!
loved hearing this lesson, I enjoyed hearing the part about getting voltage from a crystal.
Thanks for all the information, I learn a lot every time I watch these.
You are SO amazing I am six years old and love learning so much.
It is very important for new innovations to continue to make our technology the best in the world.
Dr. Billings you’ve been a great inspiration to my education and I promise I will put more effort into my studies.
Universal networking and the FSD method of sharing information is fascinating!
It was very interesting to learn about how you made and patented your invention.
I would like to invent something.
Great accomplishment inspired
I learned about the piezoelectric effect today and I thought it was so interesting! I didn’t know having an electrical field interact to a form of mechanical stress had this outcome!
That is so cool he created FSD
Please Dr. Monet, don’t forsake us! All of us are precious, each and every one of us!
The point is I love your lessons
When you developed FSD did you realize how big of an impact it would have on future generations or technology?
Best invention, love the info.
Very impressive. I appreciate all you have done so that we can have computers today and the ability to attend this great online school.
Dr. Pajet Monet, I think you should absolutely continue teaching your social emotional learning classes! I took two of your classes throughout my academic journey, and now that I’m nearing graduation I’m realizing how helpful your lessons were. Thank you!
Very interesting. You are such a smart guy!
I want to learn how to build a robot.
Mr.billings is smart.
One is never to old to learn something new
I love how the inventions Dr Billings creates all go to something positive!
To: Pajet Monet.
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.”
Your best invention is so amazing
its wild with all the stuff you have done
Wow! the computer thing is very cool.
Very cool, I did not know about FSD or that Dr. B made it.
Mr Billings is so cool!
This was so informative! I love watching these videos!
i find it funny that they tried to call your idea crazy then they tried to copy it
Wow you’ve spent so much money on scholarships i appreciate it so much!
Also you’re car is so COOL!!!
It’s crazy to think you can get voltage from a crystal!
That was extremely impressive.
Wow! I didn’t know that Dr. Billings created FSD.
Dr. Billings is just the greatest and smartest
Mr. Billings is really cool 🙂
He made the internet way easier with FSD!
Wow, he is really smart. I had no idea he invented this!
What an amazing accompishment
Very cool you patented FSD (Functionally Structured Distribution) and donated the patented to the university which developed Acellus.
i love Dr. R and r51
I learnt something new today, and the “piezoelectric effect” got me interested too!
I’m the first kid comment
I am always amazed by Dr. Billings and his wealth of knowledge.
Thank you for the amazing video, I really enjoyed it…
Dr Pajet Monte should absolutely continue with her lessons, it really helped me on a personal level during lockdown.
Thank you Dr Billings for you care and effort into this program and for the care you have over us students.
And of course thank you R-51 for also entertaining us…
It’s cool how Roger Billings invention changed the internet and helped people stay connected.
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!!
I really enjoyed this lesson specially the story of how roger billings explains the innovation fsd and how it has had a major impact in the worlds technological advancements and also on how we stay connected.
Please stay and do more social emotional.
I am so amazed at all of that Dr. B has done!!!
WOW, what a amazing Science LIVE video.
I enjoyed it a lot!
Dr. Billings, what drives you to continue creating and improving on current inventions?
Oh man I should have done my science project with a 3D printer
It was extremely interesting to learn about his development of the internet,
I enjoyed learning about Dr. Rodger Billings’s computer program that changed the world!
Hey Pajeet, I really liked the social emotional learning course and would appreciate if you kept doing the intro for the future videos.
Did Roger billings have any other inventions?
Computers have revolutionized the world as we know it.
Do you think 3D printing can one day be used for medical applications?
Rodger Billings is widely recognized for his work on the hydrogen fuel cell.
