- "Probability and conspiratorial thinking", by Marko Kovic and Tobias Füchslin
Science or Fiction (1:16:51)[edit]
Item #1: A new study finds that untrained 8-12 year old children have the muscular endurance of elite marathon or triatholon athletes.[4]
Item #2: Researchers find that reading an op-ed was more likely to reinforce existing beliefs than to change the reader’s mind.[5]
Item #3: Scientists have demonstrated quantum entanglement in the largest experimental setup to date, 15 micrometers wide, the thickness of a fine human hair.[6]
| Answer | Item |

| Fiction | Op-eds reinforce beliefs |
| Science | Children's elite endurance |

Skeptical Quote of the Week (1:41:39)[edit]
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
– Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), American writer and professor of biochemistry
