DAY 4: Evolution, the Universe, brain stimulators and snurtles

At day 4 we’re nearly half way through the event. Hope you’re all chatting, asking and voting!

Today’s highlights:

  • In the Cadmium Zone we found out how extra suns might have affected humans:

How would humans have evolved differently if we had multiple suns?

tess2fisher : what is the most intresting equitment you use?

emmaross : the most interesting bit of kit I use is the brain stimulator. you hold it over someones head, and it sends a small signal to thier brain which tells their muscles to move. It means that we can move peoples arms or legs without them thinking about it – very cool! I have had someone faint because they didn’t like the feeling of thier muscles moving without them trying!

Where is the Universe? It gives me a headache each time I think about this question…

  • And the Tin Zone gives us… snurtles!

Is there such thing as a snurtle turtle/snail?
