#008: Leave Pluto Alone


20% Arabic - 80% English Featuring Ammar Sabban @sabban31, Rami Taibah @rtaibah, Omair Taibah @amrush, & Faisal Aseeri @4aisal. The guys start off the day by discussing dumb questions that don't deserve answers. However, seeing dumb questions in retrospect makes Omair and Faisal think differently. Science gets explained in lay men's terms. Even better, super hero science, human tetrachromats (see show notes), outer space, and existentialism has its 15 minutes of fame. We shed light on different techniques to watch all 6 (or 5)of the Star Wars Saga. Just in time for the release of Episode VII in December! Back to the Future's prophetic nature is appreciated and illusions are explored as tricks your mind creates. Play-along section includes (1) An experiment is presented, get in touch with us about your findings! (2) a GIF that you should watch to play along. Rami wants to clarify that Omair made the joke at the end. Sponsored by Studio 966, UX developers. Get in touch at hello@966.io Sponsored by 31 Workshop Ave, Entertainment Production Studio.

Here's a link to art created by a discovered tetrachromat, Concetta Antico, where we see what she sees daily http://concettaantico.com/ - Illusion GIF for your play-along entertainment http://imgur.com/gallery/7uRSo - Cover illustration by L.
