YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A fan wants to know what it would be like if you had the power to see the entire spectrum of light. Would there be too much “noise” when looking at every wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves, to microwaves, to ultra-violet, to gamma waves? Could seeing radar waves get you out of a speeding ticket? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice tackle the ideas behind this unconventional superpower, beginning with an example many of us already know: Geordi La Forge from "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Plus, you’ll find out what "Predator" get wrong about infrared vision.

This "Behind the Scenes" video was shot during the recording of our episode, "Cosmic QueriesSuper Powers." If you'd like to listen to the full podcast, click here
