- Note: Several facts/figures from this video are based on an American Physical Society report that has been rescinded. However, the reason it was rescinded was for errors related to a hypothetical anti-missle drone program. This video is not about that drone program, nor does it mention drones at all. We believe the remainder of the report is accurate. This is (reportedly) the first APS error of its kind in 123 years. You can read the original report here: https://web.archive.org/web/20220209153030/https://aps.org/policy/reports/popa-reports/upload/MissileDefense-Report-final.pdf and you can find information about the errors here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/19/science/missile-defense-north-korea.html?smid=tw-share. We don't think this affects the validity of any of the facts/arguments presented in this video but wish to be straightforward about it for the sake of prudence.
