Season 1: Loops – Is Time a Flat Circle? Part I
What is time? A line? A loop? A figment of our imaginations? Spoiler alert... no one knows. But we can use what we know about physics, biology, and Einstein's ideas about Relativity to take our best guess. Join K+K on this 2-part journey into the center (if there is such a place) of time (if there is such a thing)! In this show:
How does the human brain keep track of time?
Why is syncing up our biological rhythms with the sun's cycles so important?
If someone kidnapped you and you woke up in a sensory deprivation tank, would you ever know what time it was again?
Are you the glucose monster or the melatonin fairy? Be honest.
