This hour we explain why we're saying goodbye to the leap second.

This hour: why timekeepers are getting rid of the leap second, how animism is misinterpreted, and whether we should have a spectrum of verdicts beyond “guilty” and “not guilty.”

GUESTS: 

  • Judah Levine: Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado and a Physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
  • Justine Buck Quijada: Associate Professor in the Department of Religion at Wesleyan University
  • Barry Lam: Philosophy Professor at the University of California, Riverside, and Executive Producer of Hi-Phi Nation, a philosophy podcast
