66 - Danger, SLOW BRAIN Ahead! TIME DILATION From Head To Toe
from What The If? · host Philip Shane, Matt Stanley, Gabrielle Paniccia

What did this mean for our SENSE OF REALITY? And when we began exploring the solar system, our communication with our far flung human and robot astronauts was even more DELAYED. What The IF is going on??? An encore presentation of... the totally bizarre time when our BRAIN SIGNALS slowed down so much that they couldn't keep up with our dancin' feet!
