Votes, Trains, and a Black Hole Star
Sam and Leah follow a planned coalition withdrawal from Iraq, Zambia’s election count, a train derailment near Lewes, a possible black-hole-star model, and Nine PBS’s effort to recover its archive. They ask how evidence changes when a plan, count, investigation, or recovery is still underway.
