Episode 14: 2/12/14 Wait, DOES the sun go around the Earth?

from Six Degrees of Rumination · host Nina Reno and Michael

Reno and Nina see if producer Mike is smarter than 1 in 4 Americans, Reno speculates what the universe was like before the Big Bang, and Nina checks her freezer for anti-biotic-riddled chicken while Reno compares the cost of salad and fast food.  Not surprisingly, pesticides are linked to neuro-developmental learning disabilities in children.  A new "ultra-precise" method to filter water is discovered.  Have dreams of natural disasters and saving the day?  You're most likely a man....and if you'd rather give people chili than chocolate, you most likely would choose to play Voldemort in a video game.  ***Reno has yet to read the Harry Potter series.  Attack his Facebook page now.*** http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/02/14/277058739/1-in-4-americans-think-the-sun-goes-around-the-earth-survey-says http://www.npr.org/2014/02/16/277882084/scientists-discover-universes-oldest-star http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/14/276976353/americans-want-antibiotic-free-chicken-and-the-industry-is-listening  http://www.kurzweilai.net/growing-number-of-chemicals-linked-with-brain-disorders-in-children  http://www.kurzweilai.net/new-multilayer-graphene-structure-allows-ultraprecise-ultrafast-water-filtering http://www.npr.org/2014/02/19/279709447/bluish-light-may-help-alzheimers-patients-find-bearings  http://www.kurzweilai.net/your-virtual-avatar-can-impact-your-real-world-behavior-researchers-suggest http://www.npr.org/2014/02/16/277882132/floods-or-family-conflict-bad-dreams-differ-by-gender  http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/02/04/271648691/watch-the-creationism-vs-evolution-debate-bill-nye-and-ken-ham
