TAPE Classic | Trying to Explain 'Left' to Aliens from our Itty Bitty Earth

In this rebroadcasted episode, Trace resets the solar system to observe what life would be like on a 2/3rds-sized "Wee Earth." Julian, meanwhile, uses particle physics to finally distinguish between his left and right hands.

QUESTIONS

Julian: "If I had some magic communicator to speak to someone in another galaxy, could I explain what ‘left’ and ‘right’ were?" from Anonymous

Trace: "How would have life evolved if Earth was two-three times smaller?" from Moma
