The Essence of Falsehood and Fakery: How to Pull off a Hoax The ubiquitous presence of fakes is an undeniable truth. I mean technically. It sounds so pretentious to say that we are surrounded by fakes, as if they are lurking around every street, ready to snatch the wool and pull it over our eyes, but it’s inescapable to live without encountering at least one element of fraud somewhere. Films, novels, television, paintings magazine ads, magicians, technically are all forms of trickery, because…

The Tesla Coil is a “high-frequency transformer that can take a regular 120-volt output and step it up to way above a million volts” (Hearst 96). Dangerously, the voltages are then emitted in the form of electrical arcs. These “arcs” are what we see as mini lightning bolts (Hearst 96). They were…

Endeavor to picture a world where there is no such thing as a stove to cook an evening feast for your growing family; no television to watch…

Fox, who played the infamous time traveler character in the movies known as Marty McFly.

Think about it, we have Elon Musk to…
