    It's Like Rocket Science, But Dumber
    Jul 4 2024
    When Trace was a kid he was a sleepwalker. His parents closed the door to his bedroom. They heard him bonking against the door over and over. They love to tell this story. Now I'm telling you! Sleepwalking is weird, right? Are we the only ones who do that? Julian looks into it. Plus, as long as we’re wondering things … have you ever wondered if you could fling an animal into space? Like a marmot or a coyote! Could a coyote actually go to orbit on top of a giant pile of TNT? (He definitely isn’t going to catch that pesky road runner; does anyone under 30 even get this reference?). Trace explores what is clearly a Julian-focused question.🧨 Happy Fireworks Week Americans 🎆 and a Happy Early July to everyone else!QUESTIONSJulian: "Are humans the only animal that sleepwalks?" from Henry (via his mom, Becca)Trace: "What animal could survive a spin launch, catapult, or explosion to space? Could any?" from Rowin in AustraliaDo you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food?

  • Reach for the Neutron Stargate

    Reach for the Neutron Stargate
    Jun 20 2024

    Science agrees: black holes are really cool. TAPE listener Robert, on the other hand, disagrees with science, and thinks their slightly-less-dense-but-still-absurdly-dense cousins known as Neutron Stars are cooler. He’s decided to pet one. Julian explores the smorgasbord of ways he would probably die horribly if he tried. Meanwhile Trace geeks out about Stargate, in an effort to dial-in how accurate the gates would really be!

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "If I tried to pet a neutron star, what would kill me first?" from Robert Trace: "If Stargate were real, would the address be accurate enough to dial a gate?" from Corey
