  Can We Ever Travel At The Speed Of Light? What's It Like?

  Oct 2, 202613 min

  If you pushed a spacecraft faster and faster, what would actually stop you? In 1905 Albert Einstein started from one deeply strange fact and let the consequences follow. At CERN, protons circle an underground ring at more than 99.9999 percent of light speed and still cannot close the last sliver of the gap. NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest object humans have ever built, is not remotely close. The stranger answer is not whether you can get there, but what happens to the clocks if you try. ──────────────── Enjoying the show?

  What Does Your Adam's Apple Actually Do? (Espresso)

  Sep 30, 20269 min

  Put two fingers on your throat and swallow. What exactly is that thing moving up and down? There is no apple in anyone's throat, and the folklore about Adam choking on forbidden fruit does not appear anywhere in Genesis. The bump has been carrying a misleading name for centuries, along with a few assumptions about whose throat it belongs to and what it says about a voice. It is not doing the job almost everyone assumes it is. ──────────────── Enjoying the show?

  What Exactly Is AGI, And Is It Already Here?

  Sep 29, 202614 min

  How would you know if artificial general intelligence showed up, when the people building it can't agree on what it is? In 1950 Alan Turing sidestepped the question of whether machines could think and proposed a game instead. Decades later a team at Google DeepMind argued the whole thing behaves less like a switch and more like a staircase. Ask nearly 2,800 AI researchers when it arrives and the answers spread across decades. Everyone is racing toward a finish line nobody has agreed to draw. ──────────────── Enjoying the show?

  Are You Actually Supposed to Wait 24 Hours to File a Missing Person Report?

  Sep 22, 202613 min

  A family member misses dinner. A friend stops answering. And somewhere in the back of your head is the line you have heard on television a hundred times: nobody can do anything until they have been gone 24 hours. So what actually happens if you call before then? ──────────────── Enjoying the show?
