Making Fictional Science a Reality

Episode 197

On this show we discuss how the world will end every other episode, and since we discussed robot survival skills on the last episode, once again, we are due.  This week we actually explore what Dennin calls the ultimate apocalypse:  Dying if you fall asleep.  This is the concept of Markipliers new series “The Edge of Sleep”, which is what inspired this episode.  How long do you think you could stay awake?  24 hours?  48?  I know I have been up 12 hours as I write this and I can barely keep my eyes open.  I would definitely be toast.  Luckily we explore some of the ways you could stay awake for 19 days, which is what the current world record is.  Plus we share some of our favorite all-nighter stories, and discuss the benefits of caffeinated water.
