That's Absurd Please Elaborate

There's a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, "sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it feels like a minute; sit on a hot stove for a minute and it feels like many hours. That's relativity." There's no evidence he actually said this, but that didn't stop Julian from turning up the heat on his question. Meanwhile, Trace took the DNA from all his cells and strung it together end-to-end. How long do you think that strand would be? What if we took all the DNA from ALL the LIFE on EARTH?! There's a lot of life here!QUESTIONSJulian: "What part of the human body is the most heat tolerant" from AnonymousTrace: "If you stitched together all the DNA on Earth… how long would it be?” from MikeDo 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?

This week, Trace delves into some temporal fantasies, like: why people think if they could travel into the past they’d become lords and queens, and not serfs or worse!? Meanwhile, Julian measures the terminal velocity of poo-poo and pee-pee in very tall buildings. Our show is so weird.QUESTIONSJulian: "If you use the bathroom at the top of a skyscraper, does your pee hit terminal velocity?" from GeoffreyTrace: "How far back in time could you travel and still fit in well enough to rise to predominance" from AndrewDo you have an absurd question?

If you made a video call to someone on the other end of a very, very, very long stick would it be possible to poke them with the stick before the video showed them that you’d moved? Would this impossible, absurd invention move faster than the speed of light?!? Julian pokes around to see. Then, after a Spongebob-style “Meanwhile” title card… Trace grabs a clock and huh’s about why the hands don’t go counter-clockwise. Do they just go with the flow? or is there something else afoot?? Er… a-hand?QUESTIONSJulian: "If you had a very long stick and used it to poke a person on, say, the moon, would they feel the poke before they saw you poking?" from IdaTrace: "Why do clocks go clockwise?" from ElineDo you have an absurd question?
