Hi Seeker+ fans! Trace here showcasing my new show "That's Absurd Please Elaborate." Every week, Julian Huguet (DNews/Seeker, Soul Pancake, NVidia) and I look into weird and wacky questions sent in by our audience. Maybe yours could be next! In this, episode Trace (recording from his childhood home) explores the chemistry and power of the lasagna battery. Then, Julian flies off the handle about helicopters as a gift for himself for his birthday (Happy Birthday, Julian! 🎂) QUESTIONS Julian: "Can a helicopter fly upside down? AND could it land SAFELY upside down on it's rotors?" from Gailmarie Trace: "How many lasagna batteries does it take to power a toaster oven?" from Bjorn on Spotify [[ FOLLOW ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP ]] Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-absurd-please-elaborate/id1680094699 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6JOkmJBsVOuODHarxzmotZ?si=bbd7324faa1f4d7d Podlink (pick any other platform): https://pod.link/1680094699 Nebula Subscriber?

There’s no disputing that Venus is a mysterious hellscape with scorching temperatures, crushing pressures, and a poisonous atmosphere, but it wasn’t always like that.

The "God Particle” is a sexy name, but many physicists absolutely hate it. It’s also led people to think that maybe the discovery of the Higgs boson has something to do with the search for God, but it doesn’t. In this series, we’re going to talk about how scientists even knew to look for the Higgs Boson, how they found it, and what it means for the future of particle physics.

Ultimately the goal of archaeology is to find out about historic humans and their lives, but we also need to consider whether we should be digging up ancient people and the objects that once supported their livelihoods in the first place. And what will the future of the field look like with recent technology break-throughs? All this and more in this episode of Seeker+.

Constructing a true metaverse is not an easy undertaking.

In this episode of Seeker+, we dig into the neuroscience of how we learn and comb through studies about what can really make us more productive.

It’s the single most complex construction project in the history of humanity.
