Cricket can take four days to complete. It's slower than baseball. The audacity of England to play any sport against a former colony, I just want to put that out there. This is where cricket has such an audience for some people around the world that absolutely adore it. Plus the fact they get to bowl balls at England at 100 miles an hour. Perfect.
How do bikes and motorcycles stay up? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explain how to kick a ball into orbit, what’s going on with cricket, and the physics of bicycles.
