On today's "That's Slightly Interesting," Si and Lana dive into the mind-blowing technology that just saved a U.S. pilot's life. After being shot down behind enemy lines, a lone airman was found using a classified CIA tool known as "Ghost Murmur." Forget thermal cameras or GPS—this tech uses quantum sensors to scan the earth for the electromagnetic pulse of a single human heart. Simon breaks down the "unforgettable" moment the rescue team locked onto the signal and why this "Ghost" technology is changing the face of modern warfare. Is it science fiction, or the new reality of survival?
