Decoder Ring: Murphy's Law
b'Nick Spark fell down a rabbit hole tracking down the origins of Murphy\\u2019s Law, the ubiquitous phrase that says \\u201cIf it can go wrong, it will go wrong\\u201d. On this episode of Decoder Ring, we follow Nick on his journey while taking a few detours of our own to find out how Murphy\\u2019s Law was [maybe] born out of the rocket sled experiments of the dawning jet age. We talk to Nick, hear some of the recordings he collected during his own research, plus talk to researchers who are skeptical of Nick\\u2019s hypothesis, all to try and find out how an obscure engineering aphorism spread to world-conquering philosophical observation.\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
