Ask Me Anything

Ever wondered why you can’t get a commercial jingle out of your head or why some songs are easier on your ears than others? Now you’ve got your answers. We opened the floor to our Hippo readers and in this, our second Ask Me Anything installment, a researcher on music, mind, and brain, Georgia Floridou, takes on your most pressing questions.

Ever wondered why you can’t get “Gangnam Style” out of your head or why you find yourself singing along to pop songs you dislike? Hippo’s latest Ask Me Anything is your chance to put questions of music and mind in front of a recognized expert in this exciting field of study.

Would backwards time travel create multiple “yous”? What does Einstein’s Theory of Relativity teach us about the shape of the universe? Theoretical Physicist David Kaiser of MIT answers these questions, and more, in our inaugural Ask Me Anything post.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our inaugural Ask Me Anything Q&A series with MIT Theoretical Physics Professor David Kaiser. There were so many provocative questions you certainly made it hard...

Welcome to “Ask Me Anything,” a new Hippo Reads series dedicated to following knowledge to the ends of the Earth. This is your chance to explore everything you’ve ever wanted to know about a particular topic, but never had the chance (or audacity!) to ask. The inaugural Hippo Reads expert is David Kaiser, Theoretical Physicist & Historian of Science, MIT.
