| 0:00.0 | Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Curiosity.com. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm Cody Gough. |
| 0:07.0 | And I'm Ashley Hamer. |
| 0:08.0 | Today you learn about why anger makes you look guilty, |
| 0:11.0 | a new quantum microscope and the impossibly small things we can see with it, and why |
