If you've never heard of RadioLab before, thank goodness you are reading this blog!!! This podcast/radio show will undoubtedly change your LIFE! Ok, maybe not that extreme, but it will definitely blow your mind.
This week at RadioLab, they've rebroadcast an amazing show about Time. Time is difficult to grasp when you really think about it, and RadioLab does a VERY good job of thinking about it. It is sure to be a mind-blower. I guarantee it!!!
However, if you don't have an hour to spare to listen to the whole show, I have another suggestion.
This video was a follow-up to the show in which RadioLab investigated Words. What are words and what would our world be like without them? Without words, would there be no communication? no speech? no thought? Is it possible to think without words? Did you notice that each clip represents a word and the is linked to the following clip?
Anywho, hope you enjoy the video! You can find the full broadcast of Words here! This episode was definitely the most mind-blowing episode I have ever heard. And I've heard them all. They talk about this dude who lived for 27 years without LANGUAGE! I mean, he's deaf, doesn't know that he's deaf, and doesn't know that every single thing in the entire world has a name -- a word. And then someone explains it all to him for the first time...WHOA!!!! CRAZY! I am NOT exaggerating.
Absorb it! It will enlighten your life.
how does someone explain it to someone without a language...
