0:00.0	Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.
0:08.8	Time flies when you're learning super cool stuff. I'm Nate.
0:11.8	And I'm Callie. If you're dropping in for the first time welcome to
0:14.8	curiosity where we aim to blow your mind by helping you to grow your mind. If you're
0:18.7	a loyal listener, welcome back. Today you'll learn about the science of
