Boring Facts About Thunderstorms to Fall Asleep To

Boring Facts About Thunderstorms to Fall Asleep To

In this calm and deliberately boring episode, you'll listen to hundreds of quiet facts about thunderstorms — from the way warm air rises silently before a storm even begins, to the precise speed of a lightning bolt's return stroke, to the forgotten history of Benjamin Franklin standing in a field with a kite and a key. You'll hear how thunder is really just rapidly heated air expanding faster than sound can travel, how fulgurites form when lightning melts sand into hollow glass tubes underground, and how the strange smell after a storm — petrichor — comes from oils released by soil bacteria that have been waiting in dry ground for weeks. There are facts here about ball lightning that still has no accepted scientific explanation, about sprites and blue jets that flash silently above storm clouds where no one on the ground can see them, and about the global electrical circuit that keeps a faint current flowing between the earth's surface and the upper atmosphere at all times. You'll learn that roughly eighteen hundred thunderstorms are happening somewhere on the planet at this very moment, each one following the same quiet process of warm air, moisture, and charge separation that has repeated itself for billions of years. Tonight, as you listen, you can simply rest inside the thought that even the most ordinary subject contains more quiet details than anyone could ever notice at once.
