In this special episode John interviews two scientists over Skype. Sam is a biochemistry/biophysics student studying the protein(s) involved in bringing nutrients to the transparent lens of your eye. Sirius Jay is a chemistry student studying the degradation products of turpenes. Turpenes are oily molecules that are found in nature and are responsible for many odors. Terpenes have many applications but the most interesting of which may be in vaporizing cannabis oils. Jay has taken history's first quantitative dab. Both of these guys are wicked smart and the conversation hits topics such as electron microscopes, quantum physics, and fact that teleportation is happening in our stomachs. We also talk about the history of chemistry back to the Greeks (love those Greeks) and some philosophy of science. We talk about some space travel possibilities such as solar sails and the alcubierre drive (incorrectly stated on the episode that the drive started with an "L"). We freak out over gravitational waves, stars, and supernovae as John says "out of control" way too much. Different types of stars and black holes are discussed along with how light "bends" around these things. We then pivot to talk about dark matter along with what it could be and how we know it's there. Sam and Jay share why they studied science this far. We move to talk about antibiotics along with how they work. How and why cannabis evolved to have THC is also discussed, including human involvement with that evolution. Sam then shows us his awesome tattoos and John stumbles through making sense of them. John also talks about the tattoo he would potentially get. This conversation was broad and this description doesn't come close to covering all the topics and shenanigans that happened on air but this should provide a solid summary of our talking points.
