What your toaster can teach you about the Universe
There are things you can learn in a kitchen that can shed light on some of the most fundamental characteristics of the Universe.
Take a look inside your toaster.
Toaster elements glow orange, always. No-one has a toaster that glows blue. The colour can’t be changed – it’s set by a very specific law of physics that applies to everything in the Universe.
