Description
The four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and DNA that can sublimate into a gas, right? We discuss the probability that a person could turn himself into a gas cloud and how difficult it would be to cure hydrogen cyanide poison. Then we segue into talking about Nicole’s favorite villain, Captain Cold, and what we like to call (and this is the scientific term) “absolute zero nonsense.”
