S1E10: Stomping on Isaac Newton with Ollie Edwards & Austin Hampshire

What if an apple never fell on Isaac Newton's head and he never came up with Gravity? Join us as we take special guest historical vandal, Cardiff-based physicist and stand-up comic Ollie Edwards, on a joyride through alternative history. Armed with a suspiciously oversized time-travel watch, Ollie dials back to 1666 Lincolnshire to intercept a falling apple — and stop it from bonking the world’s biggest nerd, Isaac Newton, on the head.Ollie's plan? Derail the discovery of gravity by giving Newton a glow-up. With the help of returning guest and chaos consultant Austin Hampshire, we embark on a mission to turn the powdered-wigged volcel into a 17th-century sex symbol.Along the way we talk: 🍎 Newton’s lesser known 4th law of being a complete virgin 💅 Why he kept sticking a needle in his eye 🧠 What scientists back then even knewWe also discuss the fate of Cambridge University without their MVP,  why ancient statues had little dicks, and debate whether Jesus would be a good pintPS: If you’ve been enjoying the pod so far, please follow, rate us 5 stars, and tell your mates - it takes two seconds but it keeps our time machine running!Historical Vandal: @ozzie._04Chaos Consultant: @austihampsCardiff University Comedy Society: @CU_ComedyStand-up at Cardiff Comedy Society: Zingers, The Flute & Tankard: https://www.cardiffstudents.com/events/10648/40403/Alternative History | What If History | Counterfactual Comedy | Isaac Newton | Physics | Time Travel | Cardiff Comedy | Queer Eye for the Nerd Guy
