Is Body Part Regeneration Possible?

In this episode of Real Science Radio, Fred and Doug explore the fascinating topic of human regeneration, discussing the potential for the human body to regenerate limbs and the role of the immune system in healing. They also delve into recent innovations in space technology, specifically the launch of the world's first wooden satellite aimed at reducing space junk. Additionally, they tackle the long-standing myth of the infinite monkey theorem, providing mathematical insights that debunk this popular notion.

Did either of you pass first grade science or mathematics?

[dancinswords]

Weird... I thought this was gonna be about _miraculous_ regeneration. So... how come that doesn't happen?

[enyart]

Can you guys show us the math problem used to show the monkey typing problem?

[johnsmit]

I do wonder how much genetic potential we lost since the times of the patriarchs. Just the huge lifespans back then show that we have really changed and lost functions, regeneration possibly being one of them..

REAL SCIENCE? Lol. You don't even know what radio is, let alone Science! You are clowns. Neither off you have even studied science and if you have, you would never guess. You.i should be sued for misrepresentation...look it up midwhit.

Dumb and dumber style podcast, very funny

I wish my sister could grow another head, the one she's got ain't screwed on right!
