Episode 6:

This episode explores the humorous "reasons" why cellphones don't work underwater, presenting fictional explanations like a Fish Union conspiracy and Poseidon's anti-tech decree. It playfully exaggerates the scientific principles of signal attenuation and frequency limitations in water, particularly saltwater, describing electromagnetic waves as temperamental divas and saltwater as a strict bouncer. The episode contrasts these fanciful ideas with the brief mention of the actual physics, highlighting that high-frequency radio waves struggle to travel through water unlike the low frequencies used by submarines. Ultimately, they conclude that the ocean remains a signal-free zone due to these combined, albeit humorously framed, factors.Special thanks to Brandon D. for the question...
