answers to the world's weirdest questions, most persistent rumors, and unexplained phenomena

Why do we get hung over? What would happen if you stopped sleeping? Is binge-watching TV actually bad for you? Why should I take a power nap? Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown, the people behind the YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE, explain the true science of how things work. Applying the illustrated format of their videos to topics ranging from brain freeze to hiccups to the science of the snooze button, AsapSCIENCE takes the underpinnings of biology, chemistry, physics, and other hard sciences and applies them to everyday life through relatable examples that will appeal to both science nerds and those who didn't ace chemistry. This is the science that people actually want to learn, shared in an engaging style. And in the spirit of science, no subject is taboo
