(00:00):
Hello, curious minds of the internet and welcome to my podcast, "Curious X", where curiosity
(00:14):
meets discovery.
I'm your host, Luca, and in this episode we'll write the world's record roller coaster,
we will express our artistic self, we will add a citation to the most cited paper in
history, we'll explore a tom with no brilliant corpse, we will be swimming in soap, and at
the end we will die, in a way you do not expect.
So without further ado, let's plunge into the boundless expanse that embellutes our existence.
(00:49):
Today's episode starts with the surgerfad adrenaline, as we strap into the world's most
exilurating roller coaster.
A lot of team parks have roller coasters, but not all of them are worth the information.
One interesting thing is that the reason for best roller coaster overall, there are several
ones that hold different records.
The fastest one in the world, the Formula Rosa, reaches 240km/h at its top speed, but it's
(01:13):
not the tallest one, that record is held by King Dacac, being 140m tall.
There's the Smilor, which has the most inversion with 14 of them, and then there is the largest
indoor one being the minebender with a high of 44.2m.
So depending on what you're looking for, speed, height, or turns, you might want to visit
(01:34):
a different team park and ride the one that's most appealing for you.
Starting from hard-pounding rides to minebending art, let's explore the realm of paintception.
(01:55):
Picture intricate paintings from ancient India and Persia in the Hindu and Mughal tradition,
where animals and humans representation meld into breathtaking masterpieces, creating
a larger image within the painting.
The earliest known example of composite painting is found in a Jane manuscript from the
late 15th century, and it represents an amalgamation of an elephant and a nurse.
(02:18):
Those paintings have three prominent themes based on which composite painting were created.
The first one includes figures such as animal or object, redone by a human.
In the second one, instead, the composite animal represented is not just made of human's
figures, but also of animals, plants, and at the time demons.
(02:39):
The third type is similar to the second one, but always have a human head.
As a curious reader, I stumbled upon the marshmallow experiment in my recent literary
adventures, sparkling a quest to uncover the most cited paper.
(03:02):
Surprisingly, it's not the marshmallow experiment, but lore is brought in a say from Oliver
H. Laurie that reigns supreme, leaving an indelible mark on scientific disclosure.
There are no standing number of 305,000 citations across all as of 2014.
Now with one more, thanks to this episode of the podcast.
(03:23):
The study is about determining the total level of protein in a solution.
The total protein concentration is exhibited by a color change of the sample solution
in proportion to protein concentration, which can then be measured using colorimetric
techniques.
The paper was written in 1951.
Another interesting thing about paper, if you have a plan to write one, is that to become
(03:46):
one of the 10 most cited paper, you'd need at least 40,000 citations.
To reach the top 100, you'd need around 12,000 citations.
These numbers were up to date in 2014, so not really recent.
(04:09):
Our adventure takes a cryptic turn with Grand Stom, an imposing mausoleum nestled in
H. New York.
Far from the conventional resting places, this Grand Structure, officially known as the General
Grand National Memorials, holds up a courier's secret.
It houses no buried bodies.
Instead, it serves as the eternal resting place of Ulysses Grand, the 18th president of
(04:33):
United State, and his wife, Julia.
Stom is a marvel in its own right.
Not only does it symbolize a significant chapter in American history, but it also challenges traditional
(05:01):
burial norms with its crypt situated at ground level.
Hold on tight as we journey to Swap Lake in Washington, as slippery, soapy ozes formed by
the ancient Missola Flutes.
(05:22):
This lake is a meromic ticked Swap Lake, which gets its name from the naturally occurring
form that gives its water a sopia appearance, and because the lake's mineral-rich water
have a sleek, soapy feel.
The lake is approximately 2 square miles, around 5.2 square kilometers in area and 75 or 21
(05:43):
meters deep.
The water of the lake contains 23 different minerals, and water quality assays conducted
since 2010 to test the mineral content of the Swap Lake have shown that the mineral content
of the lake has declined.
It is yet to know what causes the formation of the form in its waters, and since the decline
(06:04):
of the mineral content has started, the president of SAID form is decreasing as well, to
depoint that nowadays it's rare to see any.
If not, on windy days.
Similar to the Dead Sea, the high mineral content of the lakes make its water very buoyant.
Let's finish this episode with a grand final, by dying, because by definition, a person can
(06:37):
be dead without actually seizing to exist.
I'm talking about Monastery Death, but what is Monastery Death?
Monastery Death is a specific situation in which one person, by entering a monastery, is
being declared death, on paper at least, for the low.
All his or her possession are to be inherited by his or her nalma hairs, or donated to the
(07:00):
monastery or nalmerity entered.
This common and civil laws, back to the 18th century and were spread across England and
France, with a similar concept in Germany as well.
A form of Monastery Death is still part of the Catholic canon low.
I don't really know what being death, constitute on the legal and common laws perspective, but
(07:21):
I guess you'd lose all your rights and duties for ups allowing you to not cast your votes
on the next selections.
But where election are things in the 18th century?
This could be a question, well answer in the next episode.
(07:43):
