That’s Absurd Please Elaborate

Could We Colonize a Gas Giant? What if we were Vampires? | feat. Dr Simon Clark

87 min • 9 maj 2024

In this absolutely absurd episode, Dr Simon Clark ponders if human's could colonize an atmosphere like Jupiter's -- Star Wars Cloud City is on trial. Speaking of gas giants, Julian digs into the evolutionary experiment that could give rise to a vampire. But first, Trace leads us off by learning about the uneven distribution of kitty cat toe beans!

QUESTIONS

Julian: "What environmental pressures would have to be present to lead to the evolution of humanoid vampires?" from Jade

Simon: "Could we colonize a breathable gas giant?" from Drew

Trace: "Why do cats have different numbers of toe beans on their front and back paws?" from Simon

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!
