In this episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, hosts Josh and Natalie explore the Natural History Museum's vast collection to find objects that embody a single word: loud. From unusual world records to the complex physics of shrimp claws, discover how a single prompt guides their search.
The Natural History Museum in London houses a massive collection of over 80 million objects, ranging from dinosaur bones and meteorites to a giant squid. In this installment, the presenters use the concept of 'loudness' to evaluate various items, questioning whether a perfect specimen is defined by its exuberance, its reliability, or even its squishiness.
The episode delves into the mechanics of the natural world, specifically examining the physics behind shrimp claws and investigating an unusual world record.
