We can now map the interiors of stars by “listening” to their harmonies as they vibrate with seismic waves.

Learn about Horizon radiation and why it's essential for us to understand as we continue our journey towards the Unruh Effect and Hawking Radiation.

The Sun is slowly burning through its fuel. Hydrogen is fused into helium in the Sun’s core, producing energy that keeps it shining, and...

What happens when a star eats its planets? Find out on today’s Space Time Journal Club.

Energy is the most powerful and useful concept in all of physics, but what exactly is it?

What exactly will happen when the sun dies?

Do you have what it takes to calculate the awesome power of the trebuchet?

Will the future of space exploration be guided by public or private entities? Which is better?

It’s the most famous prediction of perhaps the most famous genius of our time ... Stephen Hawking's theory of Hawking Radiation

What do the first stars in the universe, dark matter, and superior siege engines have in common?

The Andromeda galaxy is heading straight toward our own Milky Way. The two galaxies will inevitably collide. Will that be the very last night sky our...

Worried about black holes? Consider this: Every time you accelerate - you generate an event horizon behind you. The more you accelerate away from it...

Our universe is prone to increasing disorder and chaos. So how did it generate the extreme complexity we see in life? Actually, the laws of physics...

Now that gravitational waves are definitely a thing, it’s time to think about some of the crazy things we can figure out with them. In some...

It’s been conjectured that the center of the Milky Way is swarming with tens of thousands of black holes. And now we’ve actually seen...

If we, or any conscious being is around to witness the very distant future our galaxy, what will they see? How long will life persist as the stars...

The great advances in any science tend to come in sudden leaps. April 25th of 2018 marks the beginning of just such a leap for much of astronomy. In...

Conservation laws are among the most important tools in physics. They feel as fundamental as you can get. And yet they’re wrong - or at least...

If you have perfect knowledge of every single particle in the universe, can you use the laws of physics to rewind all the way back to the Big Bang?...

We’ve established by now that black holes are weird. The result of absolute gravitational collapse of a massive body: a point of hypothetical...

The days of oil may be numbered, but there’s another natural resource that’s never been touched, Asteroids.

Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, physicists have searched and searched for any hint of new particles. That search has been fruitless. Until,...

In simple terms a gauge theory is one that has mathematical parameters, or “degrees of freedom” that can be changed without affecting the...

Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics has been credited with defining the arrow of time.

Can a demon defeat the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics?

Let’s talk about the best evidence we have that the theories of quantum physics truly represent the underlying workings of reality.

We live in an unusual age – the age when the stars still shine. We should count ourselves lucky – nearly all of future history will be...

There is no greater hero in our search for life on mars than a little robot named Opportunity.

Black Holes should have no entropy, but they in fact hold most of the entropy in the universe. Let’s figure this out.

There’s quite a bit of stuff in the universe, to put it mildly.

Between them, general relativity and quantum mechanics seem to describe all of observable reality.

Physics seems to be telling us that it’s possible to simulate the entire universe on a computer smaller than the universe.

Why strings? What are they made of? How did physicists even come up with this bizarre idea? And what’s all this nonsense of extra dimensions?

The silence of the galaxy and the resulting Fermi Paradox has perplexed us for nearly 50 years. But our most recent surveys of the Milky Way finally...

Let me tell you a story about virtual particles. It may or may not be true.

Some see string theory as the one great hope for a theory of everything – that it will unite quantum mechanics and gravity and so unify all of...

With the large hadron collider running out of places to look for clues to a deeper theory of physics, we need a bigger particle accelerator. We have...

To repeat the space time maxim: it’s never aliens … until it is. So let’s talk about ‘oumuamua.

How did life on Earth get started? Did life on Earth originate on another planet? Either Mars, or in a distant solar system? Could Earth life have...

When you look in mirror, and see what you think is a perfect reflection. You might be looking at universe whose laws are fundamentally different.

There’s this idea that beauty is a powerful guide to truth in the mathematics of physical theory. String theory is certainly beautiful in the...

From the planets to the stars and out to the edge of the unknown, history and science collide in a wondrous yet deadly adventure through space and...

Brille is a humor-based quiz show where some of Norways best known comedians get to work on seemingly impossible tasks and questions. The answers are...

There is nowhere more powerful and unforgiving yet more beautiful and compelling than the ocean. Join us and explore the greatest yet least known...

Engineering enthusiasts battle to create the most ingenious contraption using everyday objects. Teams are challenged to fabricate and demonstrate a...

In the early 1900s, Albert Einstein developed an idea - called Relativity - that changed our understanding of reality. It explained how both space...
