Gold looks yellow because relativity changes how its electrons handle light.

The heavy gold nucleus pulls some electrons so strongly that their energy levels shift, making the atom absorb blue and violet light more easily.

Silver sits above gold on the periodic table, but its electrons do not shift the same way, so it reflects visible light more evenly.

I'm honored to share that Interesting Things with JC has received a 2026 Gold Hermes Creative Award in the Educational Podcast Series category, from the Association of Marketing & Communication Professionals.

This year, the award recognized the entire series.

Last year, Gold was awarded to Episode #1235, "Three Turns to Freedom," which became the starting point for the show's open companion curriculum initiative.

Today, more than 1,665 consecutive daily episodes later, the entire body of work has been recognized.

Every episode has been independently researched, written, produced, edited, voiced, and published with one goal: making learning accessible, engaging, and free.

Thank you to everyone who listens, shares the work, contributes with new topics, uses the curriculum, and believes that lifelong learning is essential!

The gap between a million and a billion is far bigger than most people realize, so go ahead and slow down ...absorb it... it's truly allot to fully grasp.

Grizz Chapman passed away after years of health complications, but his story reaches far beyond 30 Rock.

He went from New York security work to a life-changing NBC audition, then became one half of the beloved Grizz and Dot Com pairing while fighting kidney disease off-camera.

Rob Base passed away in 2026, four days after his 59th birthday.

The song he made with DJ E-Z Rock in 1988 still plays at weddings, cookouts, sporting events, and parties nearly four decades later.

The charts moved on, but “It Takes Two” did not.

Kyle Busch could not reach the pedals of his first go-kart.

His father worked the throttle while Kyle learned to steer. The child drawing racetracks in a Las Vegas cul-de-sac grew into one of the winningest drivers in NASCAR history.

Ames, Iowa had a secret the Manhattan Project couldn’t move forward without!

The Manhattan Project had a bottleneck, and it wasn’t a bomb design. It was chemistry.

Earth’s core is about two and a half years younger than its surface.

A clock deeper in Earth’s gravity runs slightly slower than a clock above it, and that tiny difference has added up over 4.5 billion years.

The effect is not geology. It is time dilation from general relativity working inside the planet.

A 42,000-year-old kauri tree was found under a New Zealand swamp with its bark still attached.

Its rings recorded a period when Earth’s magnetic field weakened, the poles wandered, and extra carbon-14 entered the atmosphere.

The same window overlaps with major ancient-world changes that scientists still debate.

WMEX engineers pushed AM modulation to the edge so 1510 sounded louder than nearby stations.

Compressors, limiters, clippers, and asymmetrical processing kept the audio dense enough to cut through car noise, static, and crowded nighttime signals.

The station’s sound was not just programming. The engineering chain became part of the identity listeners recognized.

NASA engineers studied a crewed airship that would float above Venus instead of landing on the surface.

The surface is hot enough to destroy normal exploration hardware, but about 30 miles up, the pressure and temperature become far less extreme.

The HAVOC concept used Venus’s dense carbon dioxide atmosphere as part of the reason a floating habitat could work.
