In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Angeli, Nori, and ShyTia take a lighthearted look at the tiny details we assign meaning to in text messages. From punctuation and missing emojis to double-texting and changes in texting style, they ask: why can one tiny text turn into a full-blown investigation? The conversation also explores the importance of remembering that a screen doesn't give us tone, facial expressions, or body language.
The show continues with "Web Wonders and What Nots," featuring unusual and fascinating stories trending around the internet and social media, including a digital dine-and-dash, viral Filipino singers performing "Through the Fire," a city built out of ice, ancient yeast used to make sourdough, and an underwater data center.
Then, they go "Inside CERN" to explore the Large Hadron Collider, why scientists smash tiny particles, the Higgs Boson, and CERN's connection to the birth of the World Wide Web. The episode closes with "3 Things Worth Knowing: The Secret Life of Bees," exploring the waggle dance, how bees recognize patterns, and how a hive works together without one bee responsible for running everything.
