Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have some great but weird science stories. That's why
we call it strange.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Strange say shame. It's like weird science, but strange. Well.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Earth has had a near miss twice after two small
asteroids have seemingly passed alarmingly close to us fewer than
two days apart, one of them going completely unnoticed until
hours after it had already flown by. The first incident
occurred eight days ago October first, when a small asteroid
(00:41):
designated twenty twenty five TF slipped past the Earth an
altitude of just two hundred and sixty six miles over Antarctica.
As you mentioned at the time, that's lower than the
orbit of many satellites, same range as the International Space Station.
But NASA had no idea is headed here?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Isn't that what they get paid to do? I mean,
isn't there an entire office somewhere in the NASA building.
This does nothing but look out to find the things
that are headed directly towards us.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Does the Emperor have no clothes? Is it an empty spacesuit?
Twenty twenty five TF is between three and six feet wide.
Characterized as a near Earth asteroid. They usually burn up
in the atmosphere or leave behind minor meteorite fragments. Larger asteroids, however,
can cause serious damage. Right the twenty thirteen meteor explosion
(01:35):
over Siberia injured over one thousand people. But then on
October second, less than a day after the fly by
of twenty five TF, astronomers in Arizona detected yet another asteroid,
this time before it arrived. It is called twenty twenty
five TQ two uh oh, and it is a small
(01:57):
space rock that passed the Earth a distance of about
three thousand miles over Canada, not.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
As close, but still damn close.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Too close for comfort.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, tactically it's a tiny, little, tiny little margin.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, well within what scientists classify as a close approach.
That asteroid is estimated to be between six and a
half and fourteen and a half feet in diameter.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, speaking of things coming from space, there is.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
A concern that Elon Musk's Starlink satellites that go up
they're not big, they're relatively small in terms of the
size of satellites, but that they have been falling to
Earth every single day, as many as four of them
every day. Jonathan McDowell is an astronomer tried again. Astronomer
(02:47):
at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics recorded an average
of between one to two Starlink satellites de orbiting or
falling to Earth.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And burning up in the year.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The figures expected to go up to about five per
day because SpaceX continues to pump these satellites into space.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Why did we stop having bread boxes?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, you were just showing me how big that the
satellite was, and I thought to myself, bigger than a
bread box.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And then I wondered where did the bread box? Where
did the bread box go?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Is it because we decided to put the bread in
the fridge to keep it longer?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Do you put your bread in your fridge?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Do you keep your bread? Do you have a bread box?
I don't have a bread You do not have a
bread box.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know why. Maybe because bread.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Do you keep your bread out? You don't have bread?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I have bread.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
You have bread.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Where is the bread kept up? I keep it wrapped
in its little plastic bag and it's either on the
counter or in the pantry.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Okay, but no bread box.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I don't usually put My wife has some funny stuff
that's like pre sprouted Jehovah, not Jehovah Zekiel bread.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You're just naming biblical characters, like you.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Got some Ruth bread and Matthew, Mark Luke and John bread.
It's super sequiel bread. But you have to keep that
stuff cold or else it will sprout right. But that's
really the only stuff we keep in the fridge bread.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Wise, I don't know. Bread box.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I didn't know if there was, like a physical.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Bread had preservatives in it, so you have to keep
it in something that was secure, but not the frigerator.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But not too tight like a seal box. It's not
even stealed as much as a plastic wrapper would be.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
What happened to the bread box too? When did we
stop using them?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Stale bread is called dry, but drying and staling are
different processes. Uh, Stale bread can weigh the same as
fresh bread, on and on and on. Bread boxes are
designed to keep their constant their contents at temperature. Okay,
have a lid loose enough to allow airflow, which would
reduce constant condensation and help prevent mold, but also have
(05:11):
a lid tight enough to slow the drying process to
protect the contents from mice and other pests like ants
and flies.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
When we bought the bread in the olden days, I
don't think it was wrapped as securely as it is,
and it did not have the preservatives that the bread
has now well.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And some yes, I think you're right. And some loaves
of bread, like daves.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Maybe one of them I'm thinking of, comes sealed basically
in a plastic wrapper and then comes in its own
plastic sleeve.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh yeah, that's extra tight.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
The bread that I enjoy is the San Louis sourdough bread,
and that'll keep in the fridge for six years.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Cracked wheat sellad, Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
My gosh, like a like a nice egg sandwich with
that stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
How do we get from satellites to breadbusters?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Science?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Gary, We're in the middle of a strange science. A
pair of recently discovered fossils from Africa has immortalized a
one hundred and twenty six thousand year old habit of
all the small creatures that we know, dragon ass, the
dragon of the butt.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
You don't want a drag ass.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The African Center for a Coastal Palaeoscience features a track
site and a parent butt dragging impressions believed to have
been made by a rock high rax, which is a
pretty big rodent like mammal that would resemble something like
a prairie dog or a gopher with a set of
very sharp vampiric teeth.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
They say, what does that mean? Oh, like a vampire
got it.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
To this day, high raxes drag their butts along the ground,
similar to a dog that might have a parasitic infection.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
So when you're dragon ass, should I call you a
high rax like you're being a high rax? Oh, don't
be a high rax about it when you're being lazy, Yes, okay,
you should see say that.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That would be a motivator, yes, okay, but not if
I have a parasitic infection, I would prefer that you
suggest I go to the doctor.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, you don't go to the doctor.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You could have parasites all up in you and I
we have no idea because you haven't been the doctor
since nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So yeah, it's trying to yeah, clap back with a date,
and I don't have one for you.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
So here's the thing. The longer you don't go to
the doctor for anything, the shorter my caring span. When
it comes to you having a body riddled with parasites,
you are never going to you've got an I'm not
like if you feel like the clock starts at fifty,
(07:56):
like every year you go past fifty and you haven't
been to the doctor just to see how.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Things are going and just to get blood and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Like I feel like I care I'm gonna care less
when they're like, oh, you have a worm living in
your body and it made babies and they they're all
hanging out in there and we could have caught this.
It made babies, you know, like a meeba. How many
bodies of water have you swum in?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Swimmed? Swim swamped past tense? Is swummed?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
No, it's not sure it is. It's swam swim. It's
not swummed.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's swam.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's swam or swim. It's not swummed. Swim does not
a worse swimmed. No, fine, it's swum or swim. That's
why we do strange science and not strange English grammar.
This is gonna be a rough Friday for already fighting.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I did not swim in very many bodies of water
outside of my pool in my backyard.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh, but what about that time that you went out
to the south on the camping.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Trip with the other boys.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There was no swimming, There was not no, it.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Was just tinting.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
You lived in a tent, We were in a cabin. Oh,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What's sort of weird fairy tale you had in your
mind about what that weekend entailed. But it was highly
not fun compared to what you had in your mind.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Well, all I know is that you and Jason Nathanson
were in a hot tub at one point, and other
details are sparse and spotty. And if you don't give
me information, then I make up right, got it?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Swummed is not a.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Standard English Are you talking about howalm and swam are acceptable?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Not swummed?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Don't ever talk to me about swimming in the past. Tense.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Boba T is full of lead? Are you a fan
of Boba T? I've never had it? I see it
even had bob T. Oh yeah, yes, Well because your
daughter was a youth, she also loved it. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Right, So I've seen a lot people just lining up
for certain tea spots, specifically in Pasadenas, where I've seen
people lining up out the door to get this, this
bubble tea.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
What makes bubble tea bubble tea is the bolba pearls?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Is the ice cream?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
No? What is it? It's tapioca?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Is that japioka?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Boba pearls that are made from cassava, which is a
root vegetable that absorbs everything from the soil, including lead.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So does it taste like the earth or does it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Taste like sweet?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Have completely blocked out of my memory what boba balls
taste like?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Do they call them boba balls?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I don't know what they call them Boba pearls I
think is what they call them.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
The balls would be weird.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Cassava, which is turns into these tapioca boba pearls actually
absorb a bunch of lead. And Consumer Reports went through
and tested the boba pearls from a couple of major
chains and the results were clear. Every single sample, whether
it came from a boba t chain or from a
(11:04):
grocery store, every single sample contained lead.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It wasn't enough.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Wasn't enough for Consumer Reports to come out and say
you should not drink any boba tea ever. But it
wasn't enough for them to note that it's in present,
that it is present in all of them, and that
it's good reason to treat boba t as an occasional treat,
not as an everyday must have, like that Starbucks strength
(11:31):
that you have because there's too much lead in them. Also,
don't eat the paint off of the house that was
painted in the nineteen forties. Probably also lead.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
The John Cobalt show coming up, What You give Up?
I didn't give up? Sounded like it, Well, what did
you want to say?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
If I heard you say boba t one more time?
I was going to put my head through the window.
We have some great but weird science stories. That's why
we call it strange.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Strange say shame. It's like weird science, but strange. Well.
