Otherwise intelligent people are often swayed to believe objectively false ideas. Why is this? High Science takes a balanced approach to the pseudosciences with a guest that is familiar with "alternative medicine". Can we achieve spirituality without diving headfirst into mysticism? Is it possible to change the minds of even the most adamant supporters of conspiracy theories? Can modern medicine learn anything from the practices of naturopathy? Deep stuff.

HS 041: Sir Isaac Newton – Tootin’ Newton Beans vs. Hooke Slaw

It's time we explore the mysteries of the only home we've ever known: Planet Earf. We answer the important questions. How do mountains form? If we drilled through the entire planet and jumped in, how long would it take to reach the center? How do we know different layers exist if we never drilled through the crust? What even are earthquakes? High Science explores our rocky spaceship and the processes that shaped it over its 4.6 billion year lifespan. Send us episode requests, feedback, questions, and comments!

HS 040: Planet Earf – Layers and Plate Tectonics

Guys heads up: we start this episode saying that we recorded the taxonomy episode "last week". We posted the last few episodes in a different order than we recorded them (we recorded this one a while back). In this episode, High Science explores the core ideas of electricity and magnetism. Things can have an intrinsic property known as "charge" and if the charge sits still it does some things and if it moves it does a whole bunch of other things! We explore Coulomb's Law, electric fields, magnetism, basic circuits, and more! Send us episode requests, feedback, questions, and comments! We love getting fan mail!
