Is space fake? Are the stars real? How about other planets? Despite what they tried to teach you in school, doesn't it just feel like the Earth is actually the center of the universe? Adam looks at people who don't believe in space, and explores why that may be. Darren gives us book reviews on two books. The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes–and Why by Amanda Ripley is a thorough analysis of how people reach to immediate disasters. Moral Economics by Alvin Roth explores the economics of activities which many people consider to be repugnant.
