#23 | Aliens with Raafae & Athena, Aged 11

04/04/20 • 43 min

Raafae & Athena, both aged 11, join the nerds remotely while we are all social distancing during the COVID 19 outbreak to talk about aliens!
(Apologies for the uneven sound quality. It's the best we can do under the circumstances.)
Are we alone in the universe? If no, where are the aliens? Why haven't we heard from them? What's the Fermi paradox? What type of aliens should we expect to find? Where would we find them? What's the goldilocks zone? How probable is it for intelligent life to arise on other planets?
This was a stimulating discussion of all things to do with extraterrestrial life to take our mind off the uncertainty in the world at this unprecedented time.

#22 | Rainbows with Oscar, Aged 6

Oscar Blue, aged 6, returns to ask the nerds all about rainbows.
How on earth do light and rain make a rainbow?! What's refraction? Can you catch a rainbow? Why are there only 7 colours in the spectrum? Can we make our own rainbows?
This is a simple explanation of the physics of this beautiful phenomenon.

#24 | Aliens II (Solo Episode)

The nerds debate the possibility of finding complex alien life somewhere else in the universe.
We discuss the probabilities of finding extraterrestrial life elsewhere and the probability of it evolving into "intelligent life" by looking at from two viewpoints; an astrophysicist's and a biologist's.
Due to the lockdown, this episode had to recorded remotely, and without our customary small human being. :(
