Hello, the rest is politics US listeners. I'm Michael Stevens.

And I'm Professor Hannah Fry.

Well, firstly, thank you to Cassie and Anthony for letting us take over the channel,

just to tell you about our new show for Goalhanger, the rest is science.

Every week we take a fresh look at the familiar.

We're going to be exploring the forces, the theories and the phenomena that

shape how we live in, think about, and see the world. We're going to pull apart what we take for

granted to reveal the unexpected patterns and hidden logic just beneath the surface. Because that's

what moves science forward, not the polishing of answers, but the sharpening of questions.

It's curiosity that sparks those, hey, wait, how does that actually work kind of a moment that changes the way we see the world?

So, okay, here is a little glimpse of what is to come from our podcast, and if it sparks something unexplainable for you,

then you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday for new

episodes of the rest of science. And we'll figure it out together. You mentioned earlier that a

couple water is like a rock smoothie, right? Because you've got rocks dissolved in it,

magnesium and calcium. I would go a step further, though, and say that a glass of water is actually just a glass of lava.

Right.

Because I've talked about this before, and I bring it up whenever I can.

Ice is a rock.

Sure.
