That realization also made me aware of how impactful we are to our planet and solar system despite our small relative size; those realizations are what are driving me to study electrical engineering and pursue a future where my future children and younger siblings/family members have a healthier world to enjoy

Neil, Heather and Chuck: You need to learn more about modern board games. There are all kinds of them. Competitive, cooperative, lots of luck, no luck, abstract, thematic story-telling etc. In fact, you could easily do a whole follow-up episode just discussing the psycology and math of board game design.

@@jfreshh330 I somewhat agree. Pictionary has the element of luck in which category you get based on where your expertise might lie compared to your opponents, especially in an All-Play round. But, yes, it is more skill based, requiring both abstract and logical thought processes. Worker placement/resource management games can get highly strategic, too, even if there is luck in the way of someone going where you wanted to or not, but this then forces you to adapt, which I think is one of the most fun and challenging parts of those games.

I have a challenge for you Neil, if time is slower as we move faster how does the following impact our perception of time: The earth spinning very fast, the earth revolving around the sun very fast, the sun spinning around the milky way really fast and the milky way hurtling through the cosmos. How do these various dimensions of speed interact to impact our perception of time. I seriously have been wanting to know this for decades. Thanks!

You actually needn't look very far. One can "see" time dilation in the GPS satellites that orbit the earth: "Einstein's general relativity theory says that gravity curves space and time, resulting in a tendency for the orbiting clocks to tick slightly faster, by about 45 microseconds per day. The net result is that time on a GPS satellite clock advances faster than a clock on the ground by about 38 microseconds per day." physicscentral.com/explore/writers/will.cfm

​@@NineAtoms1 This was debunked. GPS satellites would then be behind or ahead just like your clock at home being a bit too slow as to why you are 2 minutes late from your job. Time is universal. Its gravity that is slowing or speeding up the physical gears on a clock. "SR proponents would have us believe that the fountain of youth awaits us inside a high speed rocket ship, or on a lifetime of non-stop jet travel, if only we can make them fast enough. Nice if it were true. Based on the reasoning that any time-shift which might occur as the result of moving bodies should occur equally in each, because each body moves in equal relation to the other, I conclude that such time-dilation between moving bodies must be impossible. An interesting aspect of this argument is that it appears to have been overlooked by mainstream science texts."

My son's dog solves a treat game where she has to sniff around for treats put under random plastic covers shaped like bones. She slides them or picks them up with her teeth and gets the treat. Not all plastic covers have treats under them so she needs to figure out where they are. There are 3 levels - shes beat all 3 (shes a year and a half). Clearly its about the treats but shes become faster at finding them. Love it

Probability is the most important part of any game. Puzzles depend on the individual doing them.

In Romania, the crossword puzzles doesn't have black space that are touching each other. All separated

I need 7 Saturday puzzles a week. And yes, the Sunday puzzle is just big, more time consuming, but not necessarily more challenging.

Brain Games with Chuck..yeah!!

I always thought you would just lay out the grid, pick words that fit in it together and then figure out the clues for the crossword. It didn't seem like that much though actually went into them.

My favorite part was when he said he was a failure and became a comedian and people thought he was moderately successful :-) that is freaking outstanding!

yeah with speedcubing, once you learn the algorithms, it gets engrained into your muscle memory. from there, it's just recognition, lookahead and execution

You deserve a million nobel prise if it is the biggest award

Other people who had a talent for this made unparalleled contribution to the world during the last one hundred years.

Just a thought, it is in a way 'over the air' for if we had no air your voices would not be heard.

F.YI. the youngest crossword constructor in history was Daniel Larsen - age 13 years 4 months. It was his 9th entry before being accepted. He has now 10 accepted entries. No transformers no juice boxes and no wooman parts. He put quite a lot of effort into it I can imagine - as much as other young constructors, which you can find at xwordinfo.

Gotta disagree. The underscore predates computers-it comes from typewriters. Twitter allows it to be used in handles as a substitute for the space character. Spaces aren't allowed in Twitter handles. Exactly the same as in programming languages. Nothing to do with underlining text. I agree with Dr. Tyson: It shouldn't be used in Twitter handles. It's not an alphabet, number, or punctuation. And it's easy to miss when the text is underlined, hyperlinked, or occurs near a boundary.

Thank you for the content Neil ! >:( )

On the number vs puzzle piece thing. I can find that puzzle pieces in a split second, but I can't remember a phone number for just enough time to type it into my phone. I have to ask twice. I am far more of a visual person. I can picture 3 dimensional shapes and find errors in complex patterns and tell you if something is going to work or not. Like my mom bought a TV the other day and it was leaned back like a recliner seat and I immediately said. Those feet are on backwards. And fixed it haha. I work in a print shop and I am always the one finding little small messups and they are like, cone on man, nobody is going to notice that. And im like, well I did !lol
