In this special crossover episode, Science Quickly shares an
appearance by host Rachel Feltman on Vox’s Unexplainable. Together
with host Noam Hassenfeld, she explores Scientific American’s
special issue on impossible questions, diving into some of
science’s biggest mysteries, from how common medications can work
without scientists fully understanding them to whether there’s a
limit to what humans can ever know. The conversation also ventures
to the edge of cosmology, examining competing theories about what
may have come before the big bang and why some questions might
remain forever unanswered. Recommended Reading: Finding meaning in
