Ep33 "Why do they start sprinters with a bang instead of a flash?"
Podcast: Inner Cosmos with David EaglemanPublished On: Mon Nov 06 2023
Description: Why do they use a gun at the Olympics? And why can you get off the blocks after the bang but still be disqualified for jumping the gun? Few things are as bizarre as our time perception.
