Escaping the inescapable. Hawking Radiation, Quantum Fields and Black Holes.

The properties of black holes that make them so bizarre.

Watch what happens when Dr. Boyd unexpectedly gets his hands on some dry ice! Minute 0:30 – Explanation Minute 3:04 – Demo 1: Dry Ice In Water Minute 4:05 – Demo 2: The Vibrating Quarter Minute 4:51 – Demo 3: Floating Bubbles...

This video discusses the prediction and discovery of a supernova in the galaxy SP1149, located billions of light years away. Scientists predicted the supernova would occur in November 2015, but the event was captured earlier due to...

Explore the fascinating journey to uncover the universe's missing baryons—ordinary matter that had eluded scientists for decades. From the origins of baryonic matter after the Big Bang to groundbreaking discoveries using fast radio...

We explore the fundamental nature of entropy and its deep link to information. If you were taught that entropy measured disorder, you are in for a treat! Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:10 Macro- and Microstates 02:06 Entropy is Not a Property...

Every bone in our body is different. They all have different structures and can be divided into several types, depending on shape, size and function.

Supermassive black holes and their distribution in the universe.

Olbers' Paradox. With so many stars in the universe, why is space black and not white with light? Astrum Answers!

Forward and backward Panspermia. Can alien bacteria and viruses thrive and infect us on Earth? Here are my findings!

How can scientists possibly know the age of the universe? Well, through a variety of factors, including redshift, the CMBR and more.

Quasars, or extremely active black holes are the brightest objects in the universe. But aren't black holes meant to be invisible? Based on the Illustris Project simulation, we also look at radio-mode and quasar-mode feedback, seemingly...

Explore the touching story of Eric Maison, a transgender dad, and his daughter Corey, as they share their journey and the strength of family support.

Dr. Michele Goodwin, a professor of constitutional law and global health policy at Georgetown University, authored Policing the Womb (2020), a prescient analysis of reproductive justice in the U.S. The book explores the criminalization...

An ethical dilemma is a conflict between alternatives where, no matter what a person does, some ethical principle will be compromised. Analyzing the options and their consequences provides the basic elements for decision-making.

A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates particles. More specifically, it accelerates elementary particles, like protons and electrons, at extremely high speeds—almost 99.99% of the speed of light. These particles are then...

Neutron stars are formed from the core of some starrs. Neutron stars generally have a radius of only around 12 km. With masses exceeding 1.4 times that of the Sun, these are some of the densest objects in the Universe. A tablespoonful of...

Dark matter is an invisible matter that occupies more than half of the space of the observable universe but cannot be detected directly as it doesn’t interact with electromagnetic radiation, like visible light and gamma rays. One of the...

Yes, metals can exist in gaseous forms. To illustrate, let's consider lead, which has a boiling point of 1740°C. When heated past its melting point of 327°C, lead turns into a gas at 1740°C. Another notable example is mercury, which...

Bose Einstein condensate is considered the fifth state of matter - its obtained when gas particles are cooled to almost absolute zero temperature. To generate the Bose-Einstein condensate, the first step is to obtain a cloud of gas; a...

We have built beautiful particle accelerators in the search for particles that are even more elementary than electrons, protons, and neutrons. The accelerators smash subatomic particles at enormous speeds, which causes them to shatter...

One of the primary concerns for all federal employees is the prevention of conflicts of interest, in order to increase the public’s trust in government. That’s also one of the most basic functions of the Office of Ethics. In this video...
