Hank and John Green answer a variety of quirky questions ranging from interplanetary representatives to the nature of alligators.

What would you include in a museum to educate people alive in 2070 about what it was like to be alive in the 2020s? Why do you see weird shapes when you rub your eyes? Is an alligator a fish? …Hank and John Green have answers!
