Since the very beginning of quantum mechanics, a debate has raged about how to interpret its bizarre predictions. And at the heart and origin of that...

Today we’re going to delve into a couple of the most famous paradoxes of special relativity: the Twin Paradox, The Ladder Paradox (aka the...

Dark Matter Particles: Gateway to The Dark Universe

There’s a deep connection between gravity and time - gravitational fields seem to slow the pace of time in what we call gravitational time...

It was pretty impressive when LIGO detected gravitational waves from colliding black holes. Well we’ve just taken that to the next level with a...

We know that gravity must cause clocks to run slow on the basis of logical consistency. And we know that gravity DOES cause clocks to run slow based...

We know that gravity exerts its pull on light, and we have an explanation for why. Actually, we have multiple explanations that all predict the same...

I have good news and bad news. Bad news first: two years ago we reported on the Crisis in Cosmology. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. And...

“A moving arrow is at rest.” This is obviously a nonsensical contradiction. But Zeno, a Greek philosopher famous for his metaphysical...

When a theory makes a prediction that disagrees with an experimental test, sometimes it means we should throw the theory away. But what if that...

It may be that for every star in the universe there are billions of microscopic black holes streaming through the solar system, the planet, even our...

That Einstein guy was a real bummer for our hopes of a star-hopping, science-fiction-y future. His whole “nothing travels faster than...

There’s one rule on Space Time: It’s never Aliens. But every rule has an exception and this rule is no exception because: It’s...

Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe beyond a certain level of precision. But that doesn’t stop us from trying. And in some...

It’s fair to say that black holes may be the scariest objects in the universe. Happily for us, the nearest is probably many light-years away....

While recent news about the Chinese Long March 5 Rocket made a lot of people very nervous because a 22-ton rocket was going to fall out of the sky,...

How many times can I half the distance between my hands? Assume perfect coordination and the ability to localize my palms to the quantum level. 15...

Entropy is surely one of the most perplexing concepts in physics. It’s variously described as a measure of a system’s disorder - or as...

Quantum mechanics has a lot of weird stuff - but there’s thing that everyone agrees that no one understands. I’m talking about quantum...

Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics proposes that every time a quantum event gets decided, the universe splits so that every possible...

How far can you follow a compass needle? As far as the north magnetic pole where the needle starts spinning wildly? Compass needles align with...

A new white dwarf has been discovered (poetically named: ZTF J1901+1458) that’s doing some stuff that no white dwarf should ever be able to do....

In the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the universal wavefunction is the reality, encompassing all possible histories and futures...

The universe is going to end. But of all the possible ends of the universe vacuum decay would have to be the most thorough - because it could totally...

How do you see the unseeable - how do you explore the inescapable? Our cleverest astronomers have figured out ways to catch light that skims the very...

We’ve traveled to lots of weird places on this show - from the interiors of black holes to the time before the big bang. But today I want to...

Today I’m going to explain why you’re not falling through your chair right now using one simple fact, and one object. The fact is that...

What happens if you cut a bar magnetic in half? We get two magnets, each with their own North and South poles. But what happens if you keep on...

Paradoxically, the most promising prospects for moving matter around faster than light may be to put a metaphorical brick wall in its way. New...

The people behind the greatest leaps in physics - Einstein, Newton, Heisenberg, all had the uncanny ability to see the fundamentals - see the...

It’s about time we discussed an obscure concept in physics that may be more fundamental than energy and entropy and perhaps time itself....

What if there is no such thing as dark matter? What if our understanding of gravity is just wrong? New work is taking another shot at that Einstein...

Black holes are a paradox. They are paradoxical because they simultaneously must exist but can’t, and so they break physics as we know it. Many...

The possibility that a black hole could actually impact Earth may seem straight out of science fiction, but the reality is that microscopic...

On our search for alien lifeforms we scan for primitive biosignatures, and wait and hope for their errant signals to happen by the Earth. But that...

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

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...

Join Stephen Hawking and other renowned thinkers as they explore the revolutionary new ideas that have evolved since the publication of his...

Explore the impact of A.I. and how it is transforming the way we live and work -- both now and in the future, featuring some of the brightest minds...

A users' guide to the cosmos, from the Big Bang to galaxies, stars, planets and moons: where did it all come from and how does it all fit together? A...
