The universe is chock-full of things that are hard to find, but figuring out which one deserves the title of “rarest” turns out to be surprisingly complicated. Are we talking about elements that exist for only a fleeting moment before decaying away? Cosmic oddities that appear only under the most extreme conditions? Or something a little more tangible? This week, Trace and Julian follow the twists and turns of a deceptively simple question and discover that rarity depends a lot on how you define it… and that the answer may not be what you’d expect.
QUESTION
