This is a re-airing of a podcast originally released in February 2021.

From the quickest animal in the world to the fastest supercomputer, this episode is all about speed.

Opening with the cries of the peregrine falcon, the team finds out how the bird has evolved to endure flying at more than 200mph.

Then they explain how scientists, starting from Galileo, attempted to measure the speed limit of the universe, the speed of light, and how Einstein understood what it meant.

And they explore the mind-blowing capabilities of Fugaku, the fastest supercomputer in the world.

On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Anna Demming and Timothy Revell.
