What do a beam of light, a colony of ants, and a shortcut across a park have in common? In this episode, we explore Fermat's Principle of Least Time — a 17th-century idea that turned out to be one of nature's most universal rules. From the physics of rainbows and mirages to the way galaxies bend starlight, we uncover how the universe consistently chooses efficiency over everything else. Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about the hidden patterns around you, this episode will change the way you see the world.
