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?
