Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What came before the Big Bang?
Q: What came before the Big Bang?
The guest explains that there are several theories: a multiverse where other universes exist and time continues across them; a Big Bounce where the universe expands, contracts, and re-expands; and a concept of blank where there is nothing before time began. There is no definitive observational evidence yet, so scientists explore these ideas as possible explanations and discuss them with humility.
Why do my fingers go wrinkly in the bath?
Q: Why do you think our fingers go wrinkly when we keep them in water for a long time?
The wrinkling is due to the skin's response to a higher salt concentration in the surrounding water, causing the blood vessels to constrict and the skin to pucker, which improves grip in wet conditions.
