Timing is everything
Marnie and pals look at time-related oddities, from the abolition of the leap second, to how some people feel they can actually see time stretching before them.
As the new year arrives for much of the world, Marnie and pals look at a few time-related oddities. From the abolition of the leap second, to how some people feel they can actually see time stretching before them, to a festival of lunar-loving worms.
On the anniversary of the invention of the word 鈥渞obot鈥, we discuss EU AI legislation and its parallels with science fiction of a century ago, regal handedness, Arctic golf courses and the time-capsule of all humanity, stuck to the side of the Voyager Probes.
Presented by Marnie Chesterton with Meral Jamal, Andrada Fiscutean, plus Prof Anje Schutze of Texas A&M University
Produced by Tom Bonnett, with Alex Mansfield and Dan Welsh
