Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More

Most businesses fail within a few years. Even the most successful companies rarely survive more than a century.

Wars, economic crises, technological revolutions, and changing consumer tastes have destroyed countless businesses throughout history.

Yet a remarkable handful have survived for centuries. Some operated before the Vikings, the Crusades, or even the founding of the Holy Roman Empire.

Learn more about the world's oldest companies and the secrets behind their extraordinary longevity on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Most people probably don’t have anything made of bronze at home.

Yet bronze used to be a big deal… a really big deal. In fact, an entire age of history is named after bronze.

The discovery of this metal alloy wasn’t a minor upgrade over the metals previously used. It was a technical revolution that laid the groundwork for the modern world.

Learn more about bronze and how a simple metal changed the trajectory of the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1964, two students at Pomona College in California, Laurie Mets and Bruce Elgin, jokingly attempted to prove that the number 47 appeared in nature more frequently than chance would predict.

They began collecting examples, and statistics professor Donald Bentley contributed a deliberately flawed mathematical proof that all numbers equal 47.

The joke spread throughout campus and eventually developed into a broader fascination with finding the number 47 in everyday life, popular culture, and science fiction.

Writer Joe Menosky, a Pomona College graduate, deliberately inserted references to 47 into scripts, and a group created the 47 Society.

I don’t know where these people are today, but they would probably love the 47th installment of questions and answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For centuries, travelers have told terrifying stories of mysterious riders appearing on lonely roads in the dead of night.

Some were omens of death; others were restless spirits seeking justice or condemned to wander the earth forever.

These legends emerged across Europe, taking different forms but sharing one particularly gruesome characteristic.

One of these stories eventually became an American Halloween classic.

For centuries, sailors have told stories of mysterious vessels emerging from the fog and drifting aimlessly across the ocean.

Some ships were actually discovered perfectly intact, with their cargo and personal belongings still aboard, but with no sign of their crews.

Others were found thousands of miles from where they were supposed to be, with no explanation for what happened to the people on board.

Many of these mysteries remain unsolved.

Learn more about the strange, sometimes disturbing history of ghost ships in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

During World War II, the United States fought battles across Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific.

However, one of the war’s most unusual campaigns took place in a remote, frozen corner of North America.

It was a campaign fought in some of the worst weather imaginable, on islands so isolated that most Americans had never heard of them.

It also marked the only time during World War II that enemy forces occupied North American territory.

For thousands of years, humanity has relied on a remarkable material whose properties seem inexplicable.

It can stretch several times its original length, absorb enormous amounts of energy, and return to its original shape.

Its discovery led to scientific breakthroughs, enormous fortunes, brutal colonial exploitation, and even influenced the outcome of wars.

Today, it is found in everything from automobile tires to medical equipment, yet its origins are surprisingly ancient.

It began almost a thousand years ago as a game played with bare hands in medieval France.

It eventually became a favorite pastime of kings, spread across Europe, and underwent a dramatic transformation during the Victorian era.

Along the way, changes in equipment, playing surfaces, and technology fundamentally changed how people played the game.

What began as an aristocratic diversion eventually became one of the world's most popular sports.

For over fifteen years, one of history's greatest military commanders had terrorized the Roman Republic, destroying entire armies and bringing Rome to the brink of defeat.

Yet despite his extraordinary victories, he could not win the war.

Eventually, a young Roman general devised a strategy that would force him to fight one final, decisive battle on his own territory.

The outcome would forever change the balance of power in the ancient world.

In baseball, milliseconds can mean the difference between a home run and a strikeout.

For over a century, pitchers have pushed the limits of human performance, throwing baseballs at speeds once thought physically impossible.

Two of the most important concepts that can be found in the world of mathematics and nature are the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio.

These two concepts seem separate, but they are actually tightly intertwined.

Two thousand years ago, the world looked very different.

Great empires ruled over millions of people, ancient civilizations were already thousands of years old, and vast regions of the planet remained completely unknown to one another.

Some of the world's greatest cities were thriving, while others that would eventually dominate history had yet to be founded.

Yet almost no one living at the time knew that their era would eventually become a dividing line in history.

Every October, baseball fans turn their attention to the sport's biggest event. However, the championship we know today wasn't always part of baseball.

In fact, for much of the sport's early history, the idea of a single national champion was highly controversial.

Rival leagues, bitter disputes, and a surprising agreement helped establish what would become one of America's greatest sporting traditions.

They are among the most recognizable animals on Earth, yet their history is far more surprising than their appearance suggests.

Their ancestors lived in a world without Antarctic ice, and over millions of years, they traded one remarkable ability for another.

Today, they inhabit environments ranging from frozen polar landscapes to tropical islands, with extraordinary adaptations that let them survive against incredible odds.

For centuries, European nations had their own currencies, each representing their national identity and economic independence.

However, following the Second World War, European leaders began pursuing an ambitious idea that would require countries to surrender one of their most important symbols of sovereignty.

It was a decades-in-the-making plan that promised enormous economic benefits but also carried risks that nearly tore the continent apart.

During the twentieth century, people on remote Pacific islands witnessed something that would forever change their societies.

In 1924, two young men from wealthy Chicago families believed they were intellectually superior to everyone around them.

Both were exceptionally intelligent, highly educated, and seemingly destined for successful careers.

But they also shared a disturbing fascination with crime and an obsession with proving that they were above the rules that governed ordinary people.

What followed became one of the most sensational criminal cases in American history.

Learn more about Leopold and Loeb and their attempt to commit the perfect crime on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For thousands of years, merchants traveled across vast deserts and dangerous mountain passes, carrying valuable goods between distant civilizations.

These journeys could take months or even years, and survival depended on finding shelter, water, and security along the way.

Across Asia, an extraordinary network of fortified buildings emerged, making long-distance commerce possible. They became places where merchants traded goods, exchanged ideas, and connected cultures.
