Hello and welcome to Series Inquiries only this is episode 397 I'm your host Thomas

Smith and though the last two episodes have been quite heavy it's time to switch back

to some science some good old fashion physics to have some fun and learn something back to

the identity of the show and so we have back again returning guest all star Dr. Brian

Gillis to take us through some fascinating physics so he explains it but in the bonus

where I told some stories about QED I talked about a little bit of airplane woes and he

thought hey you know there's actually a lot of interesting physics around some of these questions

and we had fun with it stuff like how does it work to break the speed of sound what happens there

why is there a sonic boom why is it really hard to do how do airplanes make up time and why

aren't they any faster than they used to be for essentially the past 70 years or whatever it is

60 years at least lots of interesting questions and Dr. Brian Gillis has a science for us so

right after this annoying auto ad break that you don't have to hear if you're a patron at patreon.com

slash series pod will get on over to the interview here we go and we're joined once again by Dr.

Brian Gillis Brian how are you doing today I'm doing well how are you Thomas good my flights

delayed by a half hour but good news the pilot said we can get the good air the good shit

gonna catch us up somehow how is he doing that that's my question yes so for those who might not

have listened to the qd special I think this is where Thomas brought it up that this happened to

you right you are behind but the pilot wanted to make up the time always happens yeah no good thanks

for resetting yeah this was it was funny after that qd special which you should go catch on patreon.com slash

series pod you just mention like hey there's an interesting reason for that and then there was like a

few other flight related questions and like issues that we're going to talk about it was like oh let's

do a fun airplane flying episode and I always figured it was just you know like a money I just
