Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: What Happens When Galaxies Crash?
Q: What would happen if Andromeda collided with the Milky Way?
Andromeda is heading toward us and will collide with the Milky Way in about four billion years; the collision will distort galaxy shapes (galaxy merger) but very few stars would collide, and the Earth is unlikely to be affected much.
Mailbag: Do Space Wormholes Exist?
Q: Why do you think the carrot and fly wing look similar under a microscope?
Sebastian Larrido explains that many organisms are built from cells, and patterns seen under magnification reflect underlying cellular structures; similarities can arise due to shared basic building blocks and magnification levels.
Mailbag: Do Space Wormholes Exist?
Q: Do space wormholes exist?
Karen Masters explains that wormholes are a theoretical possibility without established evidence, supported by math, but not confirmed by observation yet; they would be fascinating to exist but remain open questions.
Why Do T. Rexes Have Small Arms?
Q: Hi Nora, why do you think T-Rex had such tiny arms?
Elizabeth's Big Head Theory provides a data-backed explanation: bigger heads and skulls demanded more energy, so evolution favored strong heads over longer arms, a pattern supported by a wide sample of theropods and careful analysis of skull robustness versus body size.
Mailbag: Why Does the Left Brain Control the Right Side of Your Body? Are Dinosaurs Reptiles or Birds?
Q: Cora asks whether dinosaurs are birds or reptiles.
The prevailing view is that dinosaurs are reptiles, but birds are a subset within that lineage, so both statements are technically true with birds being considered dinosaurs in the broader sense.
