0:11.0 | or at least come across a problem where the answer isn't set in stone. |
0:15.0 | From mysterious shipwrecks to eternal flames, these are some discoveries and phenomena from across the world that have left scientists scratching their heads. |
0:23.6 | You're listening. You're listening. You're listening. Be amazed. Generally speaking, the older something is, the less novel and surprising it is. |
