Lori Winklers: Skiers care greatly about what the texture of the snow is. She says skiers definitely prefer the softer natural snow, mostly because it is softer. We're going to learn whether Chuck really did write a book on curling and performs in the dark of night. And we're going to find out, ice on earth, what's it all about with glaciers.
What makes ice slippery? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly uncover the complex physics of ice and cool facts we’re still learning about it with physicist and author, Laurie Winkless.
