There's a reason the largest animals on Earth live in the water, not the land.

    The explanation of complex biological and physical principles, like the Square Cube Law and metabolic rates, is masterfully simplified through relatable metaphors (e.g., "coal ovens" for mitochondria). This makes the content both educational and highly entertaining.
