Episode notes

The discus famously goes farther into the wind than with the wind. So there are tactical changes that you invoke depending on how this works. If you're in Wisconsin on a lake, then you don't go anywhere. You run. Just skates out. It's a simple principle. You change the style of game you have to accommodate for the weather. And I got caught in a crosswind and it was listening to Mr. Olympic athlete.

What if the laws of physics were different? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly answer grab bag questions with astrophysicist Charles Liu about alien heists, gravity, and space exploration.
