StarTalk Live Podcast: Science Is Everywhere with Neil deGrasse Tyson & Brian Greene -StarTalk @ BAM
Science really is everywhere! From the Big Bang to quantum mechanics to free will to ice skating, we explore it all featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, theoretical physicist Brian Greene, neuroscientist Heather Berlin, rapper Baba Brinkman, and Olympic silver medalist figure skater Sasha Cohen.
Recorded live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on March 9, 2018
Note from StarTalk Editors...
For further reading on the complex topic of ice melting under pressure, Dr. Tyson recommends the following two scholarly articles on the subject, one on the general topic of slippery ice (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ykmfo4yez04wllo/Why%20is%20ice%20slippery.pdf?dl=0), and the other on the Capt. Robert Falcon Scott expedition to the South Pole (https://www.dropbox.com/s/2swrz12vs158v30/PNAS%20on%20RF%20Scott.pdf?dl=0), whose diary entry noted, "The (ice) surface, lately a very good hard one, is coated with a layer of woolly crystals [...] (that) cause impossible friction to the runners. God help us, we can’t keep up this pulling, that is certain.”

A Vancouver artist raps old English stories to a high school audience. Tales like Beowulf, Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and even Darwin's Evolutionary Theory. As Monica Martinez reports, Jay-Z and Ludacris may have more in common with Chaucer and Darwin that you had thought.

A brief history of rhyme | Baba Brinkman | TEDxNavesink
In this talk, rap artist Baba Brinkman demonstrates that rap music isn't just music, it's also an innovative poetry form rich in linguistic playfulness. In the same way Shakespeare was a lyrical entertainer of the past, Brinkman believes that "rappers are the main lyrical entertainers of the present." Rap is simply a modern, innovative, and playful form of poetry—a contemporary style of a timeless art form.
In this entertaining talk, with examples spanning Eminem and Jay-Z to Chaucer and Lord Byron, you will learn how the techniques used rappers for crafting memorable rhymes have ancient antecedents.
