A Ghostly Fireworky Glow Up | feat. Ceri Riley of SciShow Tangents

We haven’t seen this many fireworks since the Rockefeller Center did that spectacularly wild “Salute to Fireworks” back in 2007. This time around, guest-host Ceri Riley ponders what if fireworks were a normal part of the weather? And Trace ponders the spirits of the great beyond. He tries so, so hard not to bring up his time in the Victorian Era. Spoiler: He fails, almost as spectacularly as those damn fireworks.

Julian is off this week, so send him lots of messages telling him how much he’s missed.

QUESTIONS

Ceri: "What would happen if fireworks were a naturally occurring weather pattern?" from

Trace: "If ghosts were real, how fast would they move? Speed of light? Faster?" from Ceri & Julian

Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? If you want an answer, no matter the question, tell us!
