PBS Space Time Season 1
The universe thrums with quantum fields, except something may be missing: the sterile neutrino.
Gravitons, the particle of quantum gravity, may be impossible to detect.
2025 was the international year of quantum science, but today we examine its origins.
We’ve found lots of “habitable” worlds but we don’t know what factors are needed for life.
What is the graviton, and does it even exist?
Does quantum mechanics allow the future to retroactively influence the past or not?
Antimatter drives sound like science fiction, but they may not be as far as you think.
Life on mars could result in humanity’s destruction via Fermi Paradox.
How to build a particle collider the size of the solar system.
One of the most important reasons we go to space is to know our own planet better.
Is there evidence for the existence of an enormous number of other universes?
It may be that our very DNA inherited its twist from the underlying handedness of reality.
Did God have any choice in creating the world? So asked Albert Einstein
What if, just before we reach the bottom, we find out that reductionism fails?
The biggest news in cosmology in recent years is that dark energy may be fading away.
Does this also explain why there are no aliens?
Quantum energy teleportation may be as close as we get to transporter beams. But how close is that?
Why is there any matter in the universe? A new antimatter breakthrough at LHC holds clues.
There’s an extremely good chance that Earth once did have a ring system.
How is it possible to tell if a space rock will one day collide with the Earth?
Did you know that many of us have up to 4% neanderthal DNA?
What if the Big Bang was just an endless cycle?
Why are billions suddenly being pumped into fusion startups?
The universe should've collapsed after the Big Bang, but a light Higgs boson let us exist.
Dark matter has eluded us for many decades but we may be able to discover more now.
What do you get if you combine something that’s infinitely massive and negative infinitely massive?
Is there a limit to how much energy you can cram into, or pull out of one patch of space?
I’d like to invite you to an even higher level of nerdom!
Gravitational tsunamis exist and we’re on the verge of being able to detect them.
Will we ever become a Kardeshev Type-1 civilization and how can we get there?
New data is telling us that Neutron stars may make one of the most popular dark matter candidates.
Here’s the story we like to tell about the beginning of the universe.
We’ve never seen a TDE in the Milky Way, but we’ve seen them in distant galaxies.
Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth!
What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy?
Have we reached the end of the line of discoverable elements?
Extras
Primordial black holes may be lurking throughout our universe.
Let's settle the quantum entanglement once and for all.
Many have tried to speculate about what the fate of the universe would be.
