About This Episode

Get ready for a HUGE blast of history! Before 1901, sending a message across the ocean took forever. Then came Guglielmo Marconi, a super smart inventor who had an idea nobody thought was possible. Scientists told him radio waves couldn't curve around the Earthβ€”they said it was impossible to send a signal 2,000 miles through the air! But Marconi didn't give up.

On December 12, 1901, he tried the impossible experiment: sending the simple letter 'S' from England all the way to Canada! Did it work? If it did, it meant communication would change forever, shrinking the world and making instant conversation possible! Tune in to celebrate the anniversary of this amazing moment that changed how we talk to each other. This episode is packed with historical adventure and amazing science!
