What does it actually take to fuel the "King of the Tyrant Lizards" in a modern urban environment? In this episode, Boni analyzes the metabolic requirements of an 8,000 kg apex predator navigating the streets of New York. We move past the cinematic spectacle to calculate the precise human cost of maintaining a T. rex's energy levels using biological scaling laws and nutritional data.

What happens when a mathematical constant meets a furry burrowing mammal? In this episode, Boni explores the surreal and catastrophic results of gathering one mole (6.022 times 10^{23}) of moles in a single location. We move beyond the pun and into the terrifying reality of planetary-scale biology, gravitational collapse, and the thermal energy of a mountain of meat. Join us as we calculate the footprint of a mammalian sphere that would dwarf the Moon.

What occurs when a planet’s angular momentum is abruptly interrupted? In this episode, Boni explores the catastrophic geophysical and atmospheric results of a sudden terrestrial halt. We analyze the physics of atmospheric scouring, the massive migration of the global oceans toward the poles, and the eventual degradation of the magnetosphere. Join us for a professional deep dive into the forces that maintain our planet's stability.

What happens when a gym class staple meets the universal speed limit? Today, Boni explores the mind-bending physics of throwing a dodgeball at 99% of the speed of light. We aren't just talking about a fast pitch; we’re talking about nuclear fusion, blinding light, and the total transformation of matter. Join us for a journey into Einstein’s playground where a simple game of dodgeball ends with a literal bang.

We’ve all felt that heart-stopping thud when hitting a speed bump a little too quickly. But have you ever wondered where the "annoyance" ends and the "lethal danger" begins? Today, Boni dives into the physics of suspension, the impact on the human body, and the surprising math behind why speed bumps are designed the way they are. We’re answering the ultimate question: How fast can you hit one and still walk away?

What happens to an arrow fired in zero gravity if the air is still there? Host Boni removes gravity from the equation to isolate the physics of aerodynamic drag. We track the arrow's journey from a high-velocity projectile to a drifting object, explaining why air resistance is powerful at high speeds but surprisingly weak at low speeds. A fascinating look at how fluid dynamics works when the ground doesn't get in the way.

If two immortal individuals started on opposite sides of an Earth-like planet, how long would it take them to meet? Host Boni uses search theory and global logistics to determine the expected time. We analyze the constraints of movement rate, detection width, and the imperative for a systematic search strategy across 20,000 kilometers of challenging terrain. The answer is measured in decades, not months.

What happens if you're dangling from a helicopter blade when it starts? Host Boni breaks down the non-survivable scenario using high school physics. Learn about the overwhelming forces of centrifugal acceleration, critical velocity, and the ballistic trajectory that follows, proving why operational rotors demand absolute safety margins.
