The Problem with Faster Than Light Particles | Tachyons Explained
Episode overview
Tachyons travel faster than light, so do they go backward in time? Well, maybe, but they probably don't exist. Here's why.

Massive stars end their existence in a blaze of glory called a supernova. What are those last moments like? And why does it end in a supernova?

The big bang is the model that describes the birth and evolution of the universe. But where did the term come from? What does it actually mean?

Believe it not, Einstein originally thought the universe was static. It would take Alexander Friedmann to correct him. Here are the Friedmann equations, explained simply.

Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and visible from most of the planet. We've been staring at it for 1000s of years, but the more we learn about it, the weirder it gets.

White dwarfs are made of degenerate matter, so compact there isn't room for atoms to exist. And, believe it or not, we discovered that using a model from a completely different context.

Quantum spinors are abstract mathematical entities, so people often seek analogies to make more sense of them. Here are the best two analogies I've been able to find.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment was the first detection of quantum spin, except we didn't know it for 4 years. At the time, we didn't even know quantum spin was a thing.
