Which Came Last: the Tortoise or the Onion Unraveling into Nothingness? | Pod 113

Anyone who’s ever had to educate a talking donkey would know, onions have layers (just like ogres). But, just like in the story with the giant, green, Scottish (?) ogre — it’s important to remember the lessons behind the fables! Like the tortoise and the hare, which reminds us that even if the tortoise doesn’t win the race, it’ll outlive a rabbit by several decades. Take that RABBIT.

QUESTIONS

Julian: "At what distance race would a tortoise actually be likely to beat a hare?" from Patreon poll winner 🥇 Nick

Trace: "What is the half-life of an onion? If it was hypothetically preserved could it radioactive decay? How long would it take?" from Bynzyldyhydeditoximonothaixyprophine
