    How the Speed of Sound Could Destroy Everything May 11, 2023
    Show notes

    This episode only has a little bit of fifing in it; we promise. This time Julian looks into why the Chinese (or anyone else) would send a balloon to do a satellite's job, and Trace explores an alternative universe where a couple of major speed limits are swapped!

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Why use a balloon if you have satellites" from Trace

    Trace: "What if the speed of sound was faster than the speed of light" from Julian

    The Very First Episode! May 11, 2023
    Show notes

    It's the pilot! AHH! This episode Julian looks closely at an alternative evolution of human knees, and Trace bends backwards to explore what would happen if we could perceive more colors. It’s an alternative evolution episode!

    We're so excited to get this thing out to y'all, and we're proud of what we've made. We hope you love it! If you have feelings, please give us a rating on whatever podcast app you're using to listen. Those ratings and reviews really mean a lot to future listeners! Thanks a bunch!

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "What if humans evolved with backwards knees?"

    Trace: "What if we evolved to see more colors?"

    That's Absurd Please Elaborate is made by Julian Huguet and Trace Dominguez, two professional nerds whose day job is to create content for PBS, Discovery, Vox and other award-winning publishers. In this show we use our decades of experience in science communication to answer the most ridiculous questions from guests, the audience, AI-bots, and the Internet™!
