Everything Everywhere Daily - A History of Lead (Encore)

Sometime around eight to nine thousand years ago, ancient people in Asia Minor found a very dull grey metal that turned out to be easy to manipulate when it was heated.


For thousands of years, it was used for a variety of purposes, including as a food additive.

With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, even more uses were found for this unique metal. 


However, by the 20th century, scientists realized that maybe this stuff wasn’t really so good for us. 


Learn more about lead, how it has been used throughout history, and how our perception of it has changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud

The Solar System is a pretty big place. When most people think of our Solar System, they probably think of the Sun, the planets, and all their moons.


However, the solar system is much larger than most people realize. In fact, it is vastly larger than the model they have in their heads.


Only in the last few years, with the advent of larger telescopes and better techniques, have we been able to learn more about the outer edge of our Solar System.


Learn about the Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud, and the outer reaches of the solar system on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Reign of Terror

For a 10-month period from September 1793 to July 1794, the nation of France went through a period which could only be called insanity. 


In the aftermath of the French Revolution, a small group of radicals took control of the Revolutionary French government and began eliminating all enemies of the revolution, both real and perceived. 


Tens of thousands of people were imprisoned, and thousands met their end with what the French called madame la guillotine. 


Learn more about the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, why it started, and how it ended on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Open Source Software

Computer software seems to be everywhere. No matter what kind of computer you use or where you use it, all computers use software. 


That is the entire point of a computer. 


However, not all software is the same. There are actually enormous differences between software applications. Not just what they do, but how they were written, the business models behind them, the legal licenses that cover them, and the philosophy behind them. 


Learn more about free and open source software, what it is, and how it works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Mass Extinction Events

We like to think of the Earth as a very stable place. While there might be seasonal variation in the weather, things don’t really change that much within our lifetimes. 


However, if you take a longer perspective, a much longer perspective, things can change a lot. 


In fact, there have been five times in the history of the Earth when life on Eath completely changed. When over half of the species on the planet completely disappeared. 


Learn more about the Earth’s mass extinction events and what caused them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the mid-19th century, Europe saw what was perhaps its largest war since the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
