What would happen if gravity took a day off? Or if Newton’s First Law simply … didn’t exist? In this mind-bending episode of STEM to Stern, co-hosts Chauntée and Dr. Jake Roark let curiosity run wild as they explore what the world might look like if we could suspend the laws of physics – just for a day.

From Newton’s law of inertia to the terrifying consequences of losing gravity, they tackle hypothetical scenarios with humor, real science, and a few superhero tangents. Can breaking physics help us understand it better? And is it possible that we’re all secretly X-Men?

This episode is a must-listen for STEM educators, curious learners, and anyone who loves science and imagination and asks, “What if?”

🎧 Tune in to explore:

• What Newton’s First Law really controls
• The chaos of a world without friction
• How physics connects to everyday life and pop culture
• Why bananas and monkeys might just hold the secret to superpowers
