Everything Everywhere Daily - The Meteor That Determined the Outcome of a Battle

There are many factors that go into the outcome of a battle.

The number of soldiers, training, supplies, the weather, and the terrain the battle is fought on all play a part in determining the outcome.

There has never been a battle where luck played a greater role than one that took place over 2,000 years ago.

Learn more about the astronomical event that determined the outcome of a battle on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Juana Summers – also a certified trainer – about the new anthology he co-edited, Deconstructing the Fitness Industrial Complex: How to Resist, Disrupt, and Reclaim What it Means to Be Fit in American Culture. Williams and Summers get to talking about how to reimagine accessibility and body positivity in the gym, and why that requires thinking outside the box.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Irrational Numbers

There is a particular type of number that is so common we have keys on calculators to handle them. 

However, thousands of years ago, their discovery was so upsetting to one group that it may have led to the destruction of their religion and possibly the murder of the man who made the discovery. 

Today, they are commonplace enough to be taught in grade schools.

Learn more about irrational numbers and their place in the world of mathematics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
