Every week, Mr. Monfre's class in Milwaukee, Wisconsin watches Idea Channel, has a great discussion and posts an awesome comment. We were lucky enough to surprise them with a visit to their classroom!!! So come watch as Mike meets the...

As our South Korean friends can confirm, video games can most definitely be a spectator sport. But will they ever catch on in a huge way in the good ol' U.S. of A?

Probably twice the size of a modern gorilla, Gigantopithecus is the greatest great-ape that ever was. And for us fellow primates, there are some lessons to be learned in how it lived, and why it disappeared.

Over 100 years after Einstein proposed his theory of general relativity, we are proud to announce that his final major prediction has been verified! Gravitational waves have officially been detected by LIGO! This is a huge deal and an...

Mathematician Kelsey Houston-Edwards explains exactly what singularities are and how they exist right under our noses.

We know the universe will continue to expand forever, so now we can begin to complete the first Friedmann equation, and determine the shape and geometry of our universe. At first glance, it would seem that the equation doesn't quite add...

The theory of social networks allows us to mathematically model and analyze the relationships between governments, organizations and even the rival factions warring on Game of Thrones.

There is a proof for Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem that uses a bridge - or portal - between geometry and algebra.

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it's also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum mechanics, incredible discoveries have been made....

The speed of light is often cited as the fastest anything can travel in our universe. While this might be true, the speed of light is the EFFECT and not the CAUSE of this phenomenon. So what's the cause? On this week's episode of Space...

Where did turtles come from? And how did the they get their shells? The answers to these questions would eventually cause scientists to rethink the entire history of reptile evolution.

Gabe breaks down the steps for how he determined the density of the moon in Majora's Mask.

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 cases we're going to need a gravitational wave observatory - in fact, we've already built one.

We learned how motion gives matter its mass, but how does motion affect time? Let's dive deeper into the true nature of matter and mass by exploring Einstein's photon clock thought experiment, and the phenomenon that is time dilation.

Every once in a while we add a second onto our days. Similar to the Leap Year, this is known as the Leap Second. But, if the Leap Year already helps us account for the offset from a calendar in days, what exactly does the Leap Second do?...

If you've ever talked to a vinyl purist (or are one yourself) you know that people can be pretty passionate about what format is king when it comes to music. And based on how much people like to brag about what band they saw live and how...

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 one - the galaxy.

Yuri Milner's Breakthrough Starshot is an interstellar travel expedition unlike any other before it. It's many years in the making and is contingent on a series of incredible advancements in nanotechnology, materials science and laser...

We all know the Mario Brothers. But have you ever stepped back and tried looking at those games from a fresh perspective? They're bananas! There are armored turtles who stand on their hind legs and steal princesses! There are bullets...

Because you demanded it .... we break down the EM Drive!

Over the first season of PBS Eons, we've explored the history of Earth from the very origins of life right up to the Cenozoic Era that we're in now. To celebrate our first anniversary together, we'd like to answer some of your most...

Paleontologists have been studying and drawing totally different conclusions about the fossil LH PV18 for almost a decade. Is it just one of many specimens of a theropod called Tarbosaurus bataar or is it an entirely different theropod...

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

Besides the blue of the oceans, the dominant color of our planet, as we know it, is green. But imagine a time when the Earth looked a little .... purple.
