The Relativistic Adventures of Rita Excreta | Pod 126
If we had a nickel for every time Julian answered a question involving pigeons, we’d have two nickels. Not that many, but weird that it’s happened twice. This week, he investigates pigeon logistics, excreta coverage, and everything about the Great Wall of China, all fueled by the power of basic research and—horrifyingly—firsthand investigation. Meanwhile, Trace attempts to outsmart the cruel economics of holiday birthdays using special and general relativity, which was definitely the simplest and most reasonable way possible to solve this problem.
QUESTIONS
Julian: "“How many days would it take a single pigeon to cover the Great Wall of China in excrement?”" from Jonathan
Trace: "What kind of relativistic shenanigans would I need to pull in order to change my birthday by one month?" from Ryan
