If robots in the future developed a conscience, would they want to kill humankind like in “The Terminator”? Let’s imagine for a minute that it was their ultimate goal. Professor Moustache wonders if Skynet could have come up with smarter ways of killing

While mowing the lawn, do you ever think about whether grass or flowers can get hurt when they’re cut? What about whether plants talk to insects? Can Professor Moustache mow the lawn without feeling guilty? Don’t let this be an excuse to miss out on your

Various Inuit legends say that in sub-zero temperatures, it’s possible to carve a tool out of a frozen turd. Without any scatological judgment, brave archeologists decided to test it for themselves and fact-check the legend. Professor Moustache explains.

Screaming babies anywhere can be unbearable. Especially on trains. Professor Moustache explains that it’s normal to sometimes want to chuck them out the window when they won’t stop crying. Researchers have found that our brains are wired to go nuts when

If we’re going to live on the Moon, can we bring our good old Fiat 500 with us? Unfortunately, my friends, terrestrial cars are not cut out for lunar weather conditions. We would need to build entirely new automobiles fit for purpose. Luckily, NASA alrea

Why did we feel sorry when that man kicked the cute dog robot? But then we feel nothing when we see a broken blender? Researchers have studied this bizarre human weakness; our tendency to see a soul where there is none. Be careful, you’ll never look at y

Everyone is afraid of the singularity – that stage when machines become conscious and inevitably decide to kill us all. Professor Moustache explains that, in order for that to happen, machines would need to develop common sense. And that’s no mean feat w

Is it a good idea to use your saliva to clean things? Like a dummy that fell on the floor, or a stain on a table? How about washing Timothée Chalamet’s sandy face in Dune? Scientifically speaking, given the composition of saliva, it’s actually not such

People are afraid of taking airplanes because they fly high and can fall around 11 kilometres. But why aren’t they just as scared on a cruise ship? The boat could also sink 11 kilometres deep. Professor Moustache looks at the science of the deep sea to g

In the TV show “The Last of Us”, people become zombies after a fungus takes over their brains, which was inspired by something that happens in real life. There is a fungus that does exactly that to ants. But don’t worry, Professor Moustache is here to re
