Everything Everywhere Daily - The Brachistochrone Problem

Subscribe to the podcast!

In 1696, the mathematician Johann Bernoulli posited a very simple question. Assuming no friction, what was the fastest shape for an object to slide down to go from point A to point B?


That simple question stumped some of the world’s greatest mathematicians.


The answer to that question isn’t what you think it might be, and it has some very interesting implications. 


Learn more about the Brachistochrone problem, and what exactly a Brachistochrone is, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Getting Hammered - How Does It Feel?

…To know that one of the nation’s largest teachers’ unions was directly responsible for keeping schools closed for months? To not be invited to the sex parties that Rep.

As Mary Katharine often says, it’s not good! It’s not good, Vic!

The Daily Signal - March for Life Marches On in Hopes of a Post-Roe World

The Supreme Court is considering the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which has the potential to severely limit or eliminate access to abortion.

Each year since 1974, the March for Life has made its way peacefully through the nation’s capital, its hosts of participants calling for an end to abortion on demand, which the high court ushered in with its 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade.

Now that the time may be at hand, the event is coming to various states, where the fight for life will go on.

Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life, recently visited Connecticut for that state's first march. She says life is winning, even in states as blue as Connecticut.

"We got over 3,000 people out for the first march, which is a good number for a state march, and the enthusiasm was palpable," Mancini says. "Churches were very active. ... There were a lot of periphery events, and I'm hoping and praying that we started just a new spark with the grassroots in Connecticut for life."

Mancini joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the pro-life movement's next step, and what a post-Roe world might look like.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden says he has a plan to cut gas prices by releasing a million barrels of reserve oil per day.
  • Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., joins Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts and Heritage Action for America Executive Director Jessica Anderson for a Heritage Foundation event titled “Rescuing America.”
  • Starting April 11, Americans will have three choices when marking their gender on their passports: male, female, and X.

NPR's Book of the Day - Authors Peng Shepherd and Anne Tyler show that family is…complicated

Today's first interview is with author Peng Shepherd on her new mystery. A father and daughter, both cartographers, haven't spoken in seven years. But when the father is found dead his daughter must use their shared skill to solve the mystery of his death. Shepherd told NPR's Elissa Nadworny that obsession can be a stand-in for the person lost. Next, Anne Tyler on her new book which follows a family in Baltimore across several generations. Tyler told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that she likes to write about families because they sort of have to love each other even when they annoy each other.

Short Wave - What Octopus Minds May Tell Us About Aliens

Octopuses! They are escape artists, they camouflage in all kinds of surroundings, and they are incredibly intelligent creatures--and that intelligence evolved completely separately from humans'. That separate evolution makes them the perfect animal to study for Dominic Sivitilli, a PhD candidate in astrobiology and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Washington.

Short Wave co-host Aaron Scott and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) camera person Stephani Gordon visited Dominic's lab to learn about octopus intelligence, and how their arms and suckers can basically think for themselves. Aaron talks to co-host Emily Kwong about how studying octopuses can provide insight into how aliens might think.

To see the octopuses in action, watch the video story Aaron and Stephani produced for OPB's nature show Oregon Field Guide here: https://www.opb.org/article/2022/03/29/want-to-study-how-aliens-might-think-look-to-the-octopus/
