Thanks Ben. I really like your even handed approach to unexplained phenomena. Some folks want to cram an explanation in where it doesn't fit just to get on with the podcast. I appreciated your willingness to say 'we don't know' and talking about what it would take to find out. - Hope you get AC soon. It's 105 degrees F here and when the AC goes down it's treated as a life-threatening emergency.

Ben, try a fan. Uses much less energy. If you want the physics, note that in still air you develop a layer of air around you that heats up from your body heat. The fan will dissipate it so heat will flow from you to the air faster due to the larger temperature difference. It will also facilitate evaporative cooling - even if you aren't palpably sweating, your skin leaks moisture all the time. You can also wear less clothing (perhaps not while making a video). If you're really annoyed by the heat, soak a t-shirt, wring it out, and wear it in front of a fan. Evaporative cooling works surprisingly well even in pretty high relative humidities. Mammals have been using it for more than 200 million years - go for it.

Can a rotating object precess in such a way that it rotates rapidly, but the plane of rapid rotation is constantly rotating around a second axis which is itself rotating perpendicular to that of the main/fast rotation? The slow rotation would be with a period of 22 min or be related to that. Earth would receive a pulse only when both axes line up the beam toward us. In other words, can the object be pulsing rapidly, but most pulses are not directed toward us due to a complex tumbling so we miss them?
