Fudge factor

Hello, I'm Kelly Weinersmith.

I study parasites and space, and this is the second Fudge Factor episode we've done.

Hi, I'm Daniel.

I'm a particle physicist, and I love thinking about how aliens imagine the universe, and I suspect that there are alien physicists out there like me who don't like fudge.

First of all, when I saw the outline you sent me, I thought, "Oh, Daniel didn't realize he sent me the same outline twice."

[laughs]

And then I was like, "Oh, wait, this is different." Where do you think the phrase fudge factor came from?

Oh.
