from Six Degrees of Rumination · host Nina Reno and Michael

Does texting ruin a relationship?  Host Nina and producer Mike take a break from texting each other to weigh in.  Then producer Mike takes everyone on a tangent to overly discuss the details of their first few dates.  In other news, marshmallows play a part in predicting a child's willpower throughout their life.  [EDIT: the "marshmallow test" has long been incorrectly described as an experiment in willpower, but actually focuses on predicting personality traits from childhood to adulthood.]  Flint Michigan's water crisis is discussed, as well as the logic holes in David Avocado Wolf's endorsements.  But most interestingly, scientists theorize that the Big Bang may have created a "mirror universe" where time runs backwards--and Reno gets really excited about math. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/meet-catch-and-keep/201403/is-constant-texting-good-or-bad-your-relationship   https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/willpower-gratification.pdf   http://www.npr.org/2016/01/16/463290744/flint-combats-lead-contaminated-water-effects-on-child-development?sc=17&f=1007   https://badscidebunked.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/your-worst-day-ever-david-avocados-himalayan-salt-debunked/   http://pulseradio.net/articles/2015/06/lsd-for-breakfast-makes-you-better-at-your-job-scientist-says   http://qz.com/596514/its-possible-that-there-is-a-mirror-universe-where-time-moves-backwards-say-scientists/   http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35353010   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3406751/Hawking-Threats-human-survival-likely-new-science.html?ITO=applenews   http://www.breakthroughinitiatives.org/News/1   http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/20/463087037/hints-of-a-hidden-distant-planet-in-our-solar-system?sc=17&f=1001&utm_source=iosnewsapp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=app   http://www.npr.org/2016/01/14/463064748/environmentalists-say-threatened-status-for-bats-not-enough?sc=17&f=1007
