Starting the Sun and Rotting Remains

How was the Sun created? How are dead bodies decomposed? Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? We answer these questions and more on this week's Ask the Naked Scientists!

We also find out why it's colder at high altitude even though you are closer to the Sun, reveal the sources and abundance of aluminium worldwide and discover the power of painkillers.
