Show notes
If our magic button killed every microbe on Earth — all bacteria, all viruses, gone — what would be left standing? Spoiler: You'd be missing something powerful. Julian goes full overachiever and zooms in on FOUR questions all on this devastating topic. Then, Trace, somewhere else in the solar system, is singing in the rain. But does it even rain elsewhere? Is rain weird? Find out this week!
Julian answers:
"What would be the implications, good and bad, we successfully killed all microbes." from JWT2009
"What would happend if ALL bacteria and viruses in the world seized to exist?" from Vicky
"What would happen if all of the bacteria in your body died or disappeared?" from Jacob
"What if there were no microorganisms?" from Stephen
Trace answers:
"How does rain sound like on other planets?" from Villem
