Episode description

It’s time again for our listener mail round-up, and this week, the theme is borders and boundaries. We learn what it means to define the “end of an era,” explore how close is too close to a black hole, and discuss the power of animal urine. Plus, we hear the story about the time the U.S. and Great Britain almost fought a border war… because of a pig. 

  1. How do different animals mark their territory?
  2. How does surveying work?
  3. How close do you have to be to get pulled in by a black hole?
  4. How do historians decide how to categorize chunks of time?

Featuring Eric Salovich, Naoufal Souitat, Dagomar Degroot, and Christine Wilkinson.
