Could you walk in a straight line if you were blindfolded? Apparently, like, no one can. NPR’s Robert Krulwich, along with animator Benjamin Arthur, offer this wonderfully animated report on why we can’t manage the shortest distance between A and B without visual markers like the sun to guide our path.
