Throw A Bunch of Pubes on The Last Baby Born

Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Lexx Education! It's our centenary! Can you believe we made it to 100 episodes?! We know we can't! To celebrate making it this far, a place that not many podcasts get to, we are looking at the 100 Greatest Scientific Discoveries. We've unearthed a very cool book called the 100 Greatest Science Discoveries Of All Time by Hendall Haven and we're beginning a meandering wander through the list starting with the first ten. You'll get the next installment in 100 episodes time. We like to keep you on tenterhooks. For now though thank you so much for listening, we love what we do and we love that you're here. You're the best listeners a podcast could ever ask for. --- Strap in for a centennial celebration, listeners, as Lexx Education hits a monumental 100th episode! Laura and Ron embark on an intellectual adventure through the pages of Hendall Haven's book, "The 100 Greatest Science Discoveries of All Time." In this episode, they tackle the first ten discoveries, promising a journey of a thousand episodes to complete the list. From the sun-centric universe to the weight of air, join the duo as they delve into the minds of history's greatest scientific thinkers. Amidst the revelations, Laura and Ron reflect on the podcast's unexpected success, standing proudly in the top 25% of podcasts based on listenership. They also ponder the serendipitous nature of scientific discovery, marveling at how past scholars turned mere specks into entire worlds and laid the groundwork for our understanding of the universe. With a mix of awe and exasperation, they question why it took 1500 years for someone to drop two bricks and test Aristotle's theory of gravity. It's an episode that celebrates not just their podcast milestone but the boundless curiosity that propels humanity forward. So come along for this centenary special where history, science, and a touch of sibling banter collide! - Introduction: Celebrating 100 Episodes - The Sun-Centric Universe and Other Revelations - The Discovery of Air Pressure and Cells - Reflecting on Lexx Education's Success - The Legacy of Scientific Discovery Show notes created by https://headliner.app Learn more about your ad choices.
