Description: Ancient man harnessing and wielding the elemental power of the flame was pretty cool, I guess, but I think this being Tangent's one year anniversary is a little cooler, honestly! Plus, we announce who won the first season, so actually this episode is sort of twice as important as fire if you think about it! Follow us on Twitter @SciShowTangents, where we’ll tweet out topics for upcoming episodes and you can ask the science couch questions!  And if you want to learn more about any of our main topics, check out these links: [Truth or Fail]Fire-chasing beetleshttps://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0037627https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227016226_The_Photomechanic_Infrared_Receptor_for_the_Detection_of_Forest_Fires_in_the_Buprestid_Beetle_Melanophila_Acuminatahttps://blogs.scientificamerican.com/artful-amoeba/how-a-half-inch-beetle-finds-fires-80-miles-away/https://www.jstor.org/stable/3998979?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contentshttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2012/05/27/fire-chasing-beetles-sense-infrared-radiation-from-fires-hundreds-of-kilometres-away/https://academic.oup.com/jee/article-abstract/36/2/341/2202937[Fact Off]Surgical fireshttps://www.livescience.com/65615-chest-cavity-fire-surgery.htmlhttps://www.ismp.org/resources/surgical-fires-caused-skin-preps-and-ointments-rare-dangerous-and-preventableDeath ray buildinghttps://twitter.com/tara_mulholland/status/374877389425086464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E374877389425086464&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffinancialpost.com%2Fnews%2Flondons-fryscraper-owners-to-spend-millions-of-pounds-to-block-car-melting-beamhttps://www.pri.org/stories/2013-09-03/londons-walkie-talkie-skyscraper-blamed-melting-cars-starting-small-firehttps://www.livescience.com/39371-skyscraper-melts-cars-20-fenchurch.htmlhttps://www.mississauga.com/news-story/4067822-london-s-fryscaper-draws-crowd-on-hottest-day/https://www.cityam.com/exclusive-walkie-scorchie-melted-my-jag/[Ask the Science Couch]Flame Extinguishment Experiment (FLEX) https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/FLEX_Video.htmlhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/in-space-flames-behave-in-ways-nobody-thought-possible-132637810/Cool flameshttps://blogs.nasa.gov/ISS_Science_Blog/2013/11/25/cool-flames-on-the-international-space-station-an-anatomy-of-discovery/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010218012002131https://youtu.be/BxxqCLxxY3M[Butt One More Thing]Incinerating toiletshttp://www.nsf.org/consumer-resources/water-quality/wastewater-sewage-treatment/electrical-incinerating-toiletshttps://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-06/documents/incinera.pdf
