So as an added supplement to the podcast I have started a Youtube Video series entitled Physics Phrydays. I consistently find myself tempted to go into strange territories with the podcast which steer it away from being an educational series and more of an inspiration.
Physics Phrydays will serve to support the podcast as extra content to keep its watchers inspired with cool and interesting physics factoids and science-related concepts but be much more centered around coolness and less about education.
As you'll see in the first episode, I have a monster commute each morning, and so I thought I would break it up and keep my mind off the traffic with a little bit of spontaneous one-sided conversation. I hope you enjoy it!
So, one of the coolest things I know about our universe is that the calcium that is in your bones and teeth can only have been formed inside of a star. Stars are these phenomenal furnaces which generate extreme temperatures, pressures and energies which can stuff enough protons and neutrons together to form something as heavy as Calcium.
To think that all those particles were in a star far far away, and then floated over to our planet and made its way into my bones is quite phenomenal!
