Physics myths busted: 5G, airplane toilets, and cats with toast

A few weeks ago, we had the amazing physicist, science writer, and communicator Laurie Winkless on the podcast. She was so great, one episode wasn’t enough... so she’s back to do some mythbusting!


In this episode we talk about:

  • If glass is really a liquid
  • A bunch of physics myths that have been debunked
  • What 5G actually is and whether 5G towers kill or control people
  • How microwaves work and if they are safe
  • Whether you can use your mobile phone at petrol stations
  • If you really need to turn off your phone on a plane
  • Whether a plane toilet could suck your innards out (yes, really)
  • If you are safe in a car during a lightning storm
  • What would happen if you dropped a coin from a building... would it slice through someone?
  • And even what happens if you stick toast to a cat


Quotes from the episode:

“People want simple answers, and the reality is that few things are simple.”

“The less you know, the more arrogant you are about the little bit you know.”
