Interjections! Schoolhouse Rock
Who remembers these? I used to love these videos.
According to the Internet Movie Database, only one person is credited for the voices: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1268073/?ref_=ttep_ep3

Can This Deadly New Virus Destroy the Human Race?
Many of the recent scary diseases have come from China, which makes sense given the large population base and population density. More than half the world's population lives within a circle in Southern Asia including China and India.

This Guy Eats Fruit For The First Time Ever
I think that this guy had some obsessive disorder against fruit. People have different tastes, which is obvious because there are a handful of foods that I can't stand. I don't like Tapioca and Rice pudding because of the texture. If I could get over my hangup over the texture I would probably enjoy their sweetness. I feel the same way about sauerkraut, although the taste has much to do with it. Foods that are too acidic taste kind of gross, like hot and sour soup which I can barely tolerate. I don't like weird breads like Rye, and I don't like blue cheese dressing because it tastes bitter to me.
Playing Meme Music on a $10 MILLION Dollar Violin
The only thing I think is interesting here is that a violin would be worth 10 million dollars.

Ringworld - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld
Just finished the audiobook for this on YouTube. Great book. https://youtu.be/4DMkDqIjEuI
I read the novel around 30 years ago. The YouTube version of this is a little uneven on quality. I suspect that it was copied from audio tape.
I already have listened to the next two books on Audible. I may listen to them again. I started with the 4 prequels on Audible and I'm slowly working my way through the entire series.
Best wishes,
John Coffey

Ringworld Audiobook
I'm going to highly recommend this audiobook. I read the 1970 book about 30 years ago, but now I find the audiobook to be a delight to listen to.
This is the most famous and most award-winning of about 40 books that take place in the "Known Space" Universe created by Larry Niven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known_Space
Other recordings of this book have been removed from youtube, most likely for copyright reasons. This particular recording seems odd and not particularly the best quality, as if it was copied from audiotapes and maybe from more than one source. The quality is not consistent. You can barely hear some background interference like it is being copied from tapes.
However, I wasn't bothered by the inconsistency of the recording. The story is so good that I really enjoyed listening to it.
There are four recent prequels to this novel in the "Fleet of Worlds" series, which are not a prerequisite, but a delight to listen to. I paid Audible to listen to those.

Is Time Travel Impossible?
https://youtu.be/pGnMiGrYmPE
I still have a problem with "space-time" as a unified thing. This leads to conclusions like time didn't exist before the Big Bang, which I find highly questionable. However, Special Relativity depends upon it. In order for space-time to not exist, we would need a completely different model of the universe.
