Fizzics TWIST

Fizzics TWIST is back! In episode 27 we get a little bit silly and discuss:

Far out with Duncan: The first ever photo of a black hole has been released by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration and while it’s an amazing feat it’s a bit hard to figure out what you’re looking at - Duncan looks past the event horizon to explain what’s going on.

On the Green with Quill: Red meat consumption is plateauing and may decrease significantly over the next few years. Meanwhile, vegan options are getting cheaper and tastier all the time - so what gives? Staunch hippie Quill dives in.

ViralGram: Cats are notorious for their fierce independence. Do they even know their own names or do they choose to ignore you? Dog loyalist Quill and avowed cat cynic Duncan explore.
