Welcome to episode 48. Are you allergic to cats? When you visit friends does their cat seem to know (somehow) and roll up on you even though you’re ignoring it?! “WTF CAT. YOU’RE LITERALLY MURDERING ME,” you think intensely while sipping your white wine. “Wait, does the cat… KnOW?!” Trace pours himself a glass of that crisp white, and digs into the science.

Meanwhile, Julian crushes the game and learns exactly how screwed we’d all be if every atom in the human body spontaneously went up one place on the periodic table of elements. Let me tell you, this is a bad idea. Don’t do it.

QUESTIONS

Julian: "What would happen if, spontaneously, all the element atoms in my body go up 1 place in the periodic table?" from Juan in Australia

Trace: "Can cats tell who’s allergic to them?" from Jill in Wisconsin

For this episode Julian and Trace tackled the very uplifting and shiny topics of tornados and nuclear waste. No worries y’all! Everything here is so great! We’re not trying to lift giant building with natural disasters! No way! We’re not attempting to create a wild atomic disaster by throwing waste into an active volcano! HAHA Who would do that?! Cringe, right?

QUESTIONS

Julian: "How many tornados would it take to lift a skyscraper?" from Josh

Trace: "Would dropping nuclear waste into a volcano be a viable solution?" from Fred

When Trace was a kid he was a sleepwalker. His parents closed the door to his bedroom. They heard him bonking against the door over and over. They love to tell this story. Now I'm telling you! Sleepwalking is weird, right? Are we the only ones who do that? Julian looks into it. Plus, as long as we’re wondering things … have you ever wondered if you could fling an animal into space? Like a marmot or a coyote! Could a coyote actually go to orbit on top of a giant pile of TNT? (He definitely isn’t going to catch that pesky road runner; does anyone under 30 even get this reference?). Trace explores what is clearly a Julian-focused question.

🧨 Happy Fireworks Week Americans 🎆 and a Happy Early July to everyone else!

QUESTIONS

Julian: "Are humans the only animal that sleepwalks?" from Henry (via his mom, Becca)

Trace: "What animal could survive a spin launch, catapult, or explosion to space? Could any?" from Rowin in Australia
