TWS119: We Are All Made Up Of What We Give Others

On February 28, 2009, in Episodes, by the Encaffeinated ONE

Show Notes for TWS119: We Are All Made Up Of What We Give Others

On the show this week:

  • Records, Numbers and Statistics Count For Something
  • Built For Sharing
  • Apocalypses, Both Big And Small
  • The Rest of the Universe (EXTRA)

This week’s Challenge Question:
Given that human perception is apparently limited to what we need to survive — no X-ray vision, no infrared, no ultraviolet, no sound visualization (although you might argue that’s what our ear does..) and no radiation vision — but the universe has more beyond what we can see, does the universe hold surprises that we just don’t perceive? And will we ever perceive the rest of the universe?

TWS117.5: Groundhog Feedback

On February 25, 2009, in Episodes, Feedback, by the Encaffeinated ONE

Finally, a feedback show!

This time, I play feedback from: Reuben Cohen, Arkle and Jack Jaffee!

And, quite possibly, I play feedback that I’ve played before..  But at least there are ranging discussions about all kinds of things, from love & rationality to quantum communications.

I promise that next time it won’t be as long between feedback shows..
