Everything Everywhere Daily

Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces of nature, yet, if you have enough of it, it can create the most powerful thing in the known universe: a black hole.  The very idea of a black hole didn’t really exist until the early 20th century, and now they are regularly found by the world’s most powerful telescopes.  As much as we know about them, there is, even more we don’t know and probably will never know.  Learn more about black holes, what they are, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.   Sponsors MasterClass Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.COM/EVERYWHERE.

Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC, is the home of the president of the United States.  The idea of a home for the president dates back to the very first president, and ever since the second president, every single one has lived in the same house while they were in office.  While the house appears to be the same as the one built in the late 18th century, the interior has been radically transformed over the years.  Learn more about the White House, how and why it was built and how it has changed over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The modern world runs on electricity. That isn’t a throwaway statement. If we take away electricity, our modern civilization will quickly fall apart. The power that runs the modern world is dependent on a very technical, and in some cases very fragile, network of electrical generation, transmission, and consumption.  These electrical networks can be as small as a city or as large as a continent.  Learn more about the electrical grid, how it works and how may change in the future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For thirty years between 1455 and 1485, England suffered its greatest civil war at that point.  The war was ultimately over succession to the throne and who should be king. The period was filled with death and bloodshed, and when the dust settled, it left England a changed country and set the stage for its later ascension.  Learn more about the War of the Roses, its causes, and its resolution on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Sometimes over 3000 years ago, somewhere in Southwestern China, a leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant may have accidentally found its way into a pot of boiling water.  Noticing that the leaf had turned the water a different color, some person unknown to history drank the concoction and found that it was good.  That was the start of something that is today a globe-spanning multi-billion dollar industry that millions of people indulge in every day.

December is upon us, and we should be cognizant of the fact that December is based on the Latin word Decem, meaning tenth, which is why December is the 10th month of the year……except that it is actually the 12th month.  The reason why the 12th month is named the 10th month is because the original Roman calendar was perhaps the dumbest calendar even used in all of human history, where they had a full two months that were pretty much unaccounted for.  Fast forward over 2000 years and December is just another opportunity for Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Music is a very powerful thing. It can invoke a wide variety of emotions and moods.  Particular songs we've heard might invoke memories of when we first heard them.

However, it is a tradition that is found almost nowhere else in the world.  This is mostly due to the fact that turkeys are native to North America.

After the Prophet Mohammed's death in 632, his followers faced a dilemma. Mohammed was not only their spiritual leader but also their political leader.  While no one could replace Mohammed, they needed a leader for their community.  The result was the creation of the position of the caliph, or "successor." A series of caliphs ruled the Islamic world for centuries, and they left an indelible mark on the world today.  Learn more about the Islamic Caliphates and how they ruled the Islamic world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For more than 350 years, a single problem stumped the world of mathematics.  The problem was extremely simple to state, yet it proved fiendishly difficult to prove.  For several centuries, bounties were placed on finding a solution, and many failed to prove it.  Finally, in 1994, seemingly out of nowhere, a proof was offered, but it was far cry from the initial promise of being simple.

Since the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788, there have been 60 presidential elections, which have been run every four years.  Over time, a system was developed for the election of the president, including how parties select a candidate and how votes are selected. Some of this has been done via legislation, some via tradition, and some via constitutional amendments.  However, before any of this was established, the very first presidential election was held, which was unlike any other.  Learn more about the Election of 1788 and how the United States figured out how to elect a president on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

A little over 400 years ago, the world was undergoing a revolution, although most people who lived at that time probably didn’t know it.  For better or worse, the long-term and short-term changes were underway.

California isn’t just another US state. It is the most populous state in the union, and it has an economy which, if it were an independent country, would be the 5th largest in the world.  Yet, this wasn’t always the case. In the 19th century, California wasn’t much at all. Hardly anyone lived there. It was far away from the American center of power and was technically part of Mexico. Yet despite its late start, it more than made up for lost time in the 20th century.  Learn more about California, its history and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
