Modern society is completely dependent on a set of technologies that include computer chips, fiber optic cables, lasers, video screens, electric motors, and batteries.

All of those things are dependent on a small category of chemicals called rare earth elements.

Their importance in technology has made them a focal point of international trade and politics.

Learn more about rare earth elements and how the world has become completely reliant on them, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Acadian Expulsion

Subscribe to the podcast!

Beginning in the 16th century, French settlers crossed the Atlantic to settle in a new French colony in the new world. That colony wasn’t modern-day Quebec, however. The colony was known as Acadia.

When the British took control of Acadia in 1713, the Acadians were allowed to stay, but eventually, that privilege was revoked by the British, and those people were scattered to the winds.

Today, the descendants of the Acadians can still be found all over the world.

Learn more about Acadia and the Acadian Expulsion on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

When you hear about ancient battles and wars, the stories are often dominated by famous generals whose names have come down to us through history.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Did Vermeer Use A Camera Obscura?

Subscribe to the podcast!

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/

Johannes Vermeer was one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Unlike many of his contemporary painters, however, he didn’t leave a large body of work behind.

The painting he did create has left experts in both art and technology wondering if he didn’t have a secret that helped him with his craft. A technical secret, not an artistic one.

Learn more about Vermeer and the question as to if he and other Renaissance painters used optical devices to help themselves paint, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
