Should we have studied Einstein’s brain?

[hel]

Because I (of course) cannot name a podcast that is even half as good, I (of course) already submitted my vote.

[deovolente]

Lighting is on point, colour scheme is on point, Luke's hair is on point, the length of the episode is on point. I'm pleased and had voted for the podcast.

[Shiiiveeers]

it's really confusing how this podcast doesn't have more subscribers!

[Felix-bwoj]

i spent the entire day listening to your podcasts, i love them! they really make me feel included in like scientific knowledge, does that make sense? i feel like i understand things a lot better now. (i used to really be into science but then my add really kicked in and now i can barely read a chapter in a textbook) I just voted for you in the british podcasts award, good luck and thanks for the episodes!! you’re all doing a great job

[liv]

You better win the best British podcast award, you guys are legit the only people who qualify.

This is great! You guys have honestly sparked my interest in science once again - at a great time too. I'm in year 9 right now and am about to go into year 10 when I will begin my gcse science course. Before this podcast, I was dreading my science work after having the same incredibly dull biology teacher whose lesson made me begin to hate science, but now I'm actually looking forward to it. I really appreciate this podcast as its completely changed my view on science and could potentially save me from failing my science gcses. I cannot wait for my science lessons when I get back in September. Thank you all so much.

This podcast desperately needs more people listening to it!!! You guys make complex topics so understandable, and even if I don't understand then you guys still make it worth my time to stay and listen in confusion haha. So impressive! 😁

Had to stop at 43:00 because my head genuinely started hurting

[MeredithVolkman]

I watched this as a break from studying microbio because it was making my brain hurt. Now after trying to understand relativity my brain just hurts in a different way 🙃

[drewsfr]

So glad I stumbled in right at 2 30 for the premier

Video game wars seem safer than robot wars, plus there are already shooting games so they can just send a quick "1v1 me and the winner gets the oil" and jump right into a cheeky 10 minute war. Somehow I still think military budgets would be suspiciously high, though.

I dropped out of school to take other classes and went to uni. I wasn't a genius though, my school was just really shit.

6:40 i thought yall said you both have afantasia smhhhh

[miiasutherland]

I always thought the real issue was that light itself doesn't travel unless it is observed, or more that light itslelf rather doesn't exist in the frequency of light unless observed. Which changes the function of light by observing it. Given that time and speed are both speculative observations in relation to the object observed, they are manipulable functions. Maybe I'm just gonna nutts 🤣😂

I know that Einstein was dyslexic as I have been told by teachers throughout my life as I am also dyslexic. He probably also had dyscalculia.

[saulcontrerasOfficial]

Einstein's hair was dark brown when he was young.

[heatherbunning]

Have you heard about biosphere 2 from 1993? Could be an interesting topic

[Dariusissocool]

I bet we don’t fight wars with robots because there’s a dollar value per robot

[rebbyberard]

Wow I'm shocked EINSTEIN was JEWISH !?
;)
If it's not clear I am 100% joking. His writings on being jewish are really great
