Saison 2022
2022x1
What if Earth had a 8760-hour day?
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Jan 27, 2022
Tidal locking is when the rotation of a planet or moon is equal to its orbital period. It's actually quite common in our solar system and likely elsewhere. How does that actually happen though?
2022x2
Humans are the First Aliens. Here's Why.
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Mar 06, 2022
Where are all the aliens?! This is the essence to the Fermi Paradox. It's most popular solution is the "Great Filter." What is the obstacle that life and/or intelligent species are unlikely to survive? Let's discuss.
2022x3
The Speed of Light is Infinite... Kind Of.
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Mar 29, 2022
Is the speed of light finite? Or is it infinite? That depends on what geometry you're using and how you define speed. It's infinite in hyperbolic geometry, which is the proper geometry for spacetime.
2022x4
How Entanglement Breaks The Universe
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Avr 14, 2022
Entangled particles are the quintessential quantum object. They simply can't be explained by classical physics, but do they really communicate faster than light? In a way, yes.
2022x5
Movies Do Thermal Imaging Wrong. Here's why...
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Mai 28, 2022
Infrared light can allow you to see many normally invisible things, but can it allow you to see through walls? Let's take a look at the flow of heat using a thermal camera and also using a simulation based on the heat equation.
2022x6
Could a Star be Powered by a Black Hole?
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Jun 15, 2022
Supermassive black holes are pretty mind blowing. Some of them are larger than our entire solar system. The problem is, the universe isn't old enough for them to exist.
2022x7
This Paradox Took 17 Years To Solve. It's Still Debated.
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Juil 15, 2022
Bell's spaceship paradox from special relativity has been tormenting physicists for decades. I try to settle the debate once and for all with the use of spacetime diagrams.
2022x8
Still Don't Understand Gravity? This Will Help.
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Août 10, 2022
About 107 years ago, Albert Einstein and David Hilbert published general relativity. It's the most modern model of gravity we have, but university courses on it are difficult to find. This video is a self-study guide.
2022x9
Can You See The Polarization Of Light?
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Sept 10, 2022
Polarized sunglasses allow you to see the orientation of light. That combined with birefringence can help you see patterns of stress inside materials. But how does that work exactly?
2022x10
YouTubers debate the Star Trek Transporter
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Oct 03, 2022
The Star Trek transporter uses the concept of quantum teleportation, which should be physically possible. I asked other YouTubers whether or not they'd use one and we discussed the philosophical implications.
2022x11
The Cosmic Illusion No One Talks About
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Oct 29, 2022
At about 9.6 billion light years, our intuition about angular diameter breaks down. Galaxies start getting larger the more distant they are. Let's find out why.
2022x12
Why does your Microwave waste half its Power?
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Nov 22, 2022
The circuit inside a microwave oven is a half-wave doubler, an incredibly inefficient design. How does it work? Why do we put them in microwaves?!
2022x13 Épisode final de la saison
Could Earth be the Center of the Solar System?
Episode overview
Date de diffusion
Déc 16, 2022
Ancient humans really wanted Earth to be the center of the universe. Geocentrism wasn't a mistake. Ptolemy wasn't that far off from the truth. He just gave Earth too much importance.
