Episode 3: Make Up Some Sciency Stuff to Throw Them Off | E5 & E6 of The Flash

Bomb Chicka Wow Wow! We first discuss bombs and how they cause damage through overpressure. Cool fact: When the writing team of The Flash writes down a number, there is a 92% chance they made it up. Then we discuss the physics of fighting and go through a bunch of calculations related to supersonic punches. Hey! Don’t tune me out now! It’s fuuuuun math about puuunches, okay, listeners. Fun math.
