About this listen
Join Derk as he causes Charles physical pain making him think about astronomically large and small things. This episode is all about how much humans suck at understanding things at the extreme ends of various scales. Be it large numbers, things smaller than a microscope can reveal, or the sheer size of wealth some possess, we often misunderstand them because we are use to things on a regular scale. Apologies for the doggo tiptaps in the background, Derk was recording without direct monitor and didn't know the intern was dancing behind him while recording.
