Why do humans die of old age?

October 04, 2021 • Brandon and Matt • Season 1 • Episode 18

In what might the episode with the lowest ratio of science to high, the boys tackle the question of why people die of old age. They then cover a menagerie of other topics like neutron stars, solar energy, and whether Albert Einstein was a nice guy. Listen in to learn about all these fascinating topics, discussed by two guys who’ve had a bit too much of the devil’s lettuce.
