Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Is Space Cold? 🥶
Q: Why don't balls bounce on water?
Water moves out of the way and absorbs much of the ball's energy, creating ripples instead of pushing the ball back up as a solid surface does.
Why Is Space Cold? 🥶
Q: Why is space so cold when the sun is scorching? Why can't it heat things up?
Space contains very few particles, so there is little matter to transfer heat between; sunlight travels as radiation, but much of space is empty and vast.
The 150-Foot Moon Hole: Inside NASA's Discovery on the Lunar Surface 🌕🕳️
Q: Do blind people see an image when they think about something?
Dunn says it depends partly on when someone lost their sight. People blind since birth do not have visual representations, while people who lose sight later may retain some visual imagination. Visual imagery also varies widely among sighted people, from none to exceptionally vivid.
The 150-Foot Moon Hole: Inside NASA's Discovery on the Lunar Surface 🌕🕳️
Q: So is this as bad as it sounds, 73% down?
Wauchope says the figure is a summary based on available animal data, and declines differ among species. Because many animals are difficult to count and the data may not be representative, the situation could be as bad as the figure suggests, but its accuracy is uncertain.
194 Years Old: The DNA Powers of Jonathan the Giant Tortoise 🐢🧬
Q: Any tips or things that we can do right now when we're young, to help us out and reach Jonathan's age of 194?
Clark recommends a healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, daily exercise and sufficient sleep to support health and brain function.
