#TodayIFoundOut that the Heaviside layer, the name for heaven in the #Cats #musical, is an actual part of the earth's atmosphere. Remarkably, it is an ionized layer that reflects radio waves back down to the surface, allowing for long-distance radio broadcasts before satellites were a thing. It would have been big news in the 1930's when #TSEliot was writing his original cat poetry. Perhaps this is why the #JellicleCats believe this is where they will be sent back to earth and reincarnated?

I just learned how induction stoves work! I assumed that the magnets deformed the pan repeatedly, causing mechanical heating. Which, if you think about it even a little bit, it silly. Instead, the magnetic field causes a current to flow in the pan. Pans aren't great conductors so there's resistance and that generates the heat. #TodayIFoundOut #stoves #inductioncooktops
