Particle physicists have announced an exciting discovery about the W Boson particle that challenges the Standard Model of Physics. To help me understand what was discovered and what it means for physics, I've invited Dr. Paul Sutter back to explain it. Paul is a fantastic science communicator and has a PhD in particle physics. The perfect person to help us make sense of this.

My guest today is Dr. Surjeet Rajendran, a physics professor at Johns Hopkins University. In addition to his teaching, Dr. Rajendran's research is in theoretical physics, with a strong focus on what comes after the standard model. What could dark matter be? How can gravity be merged with quantum mechanics?

In this week's questions show, I explain how other planets can have geostationary orbits, if sending tardigrades to the Moon is a violation of the Outerspace Treaty, and why everything orbiting the Sun is in perfect balance.

Here's a link to our Discord server: https://discord.gg/3nk8kAARUm

00:00 Start

00:53 Does Venus have a geostationary orbit?

02:34 Is sending tardigrades to the Moon violate the Outerspace Treaty?

06:30 Why is everything in stable orbit around the Sun?

08:50 Is there a telescope on the ISS?

10:33 How does the solar maximum work?

13:05 Does space solar power make sense?

15:40 Do rockets have to go into orbit around the Earth first?

17:15 When will a microscope go to Mars?

19:57 Could gravitational lensing let us see beyond the observable Universe?

21:53 Where will we see the surface of other worlds?

24:19 Could you go faster to blue shift light?

26:47 Do nuclear rockets need fuel?

28:03 Does time travel slower at the centre of the Universe?

29:49 Can black holes go supernova?

In this week's live questions and answers show, I speculate what kind of civilization could be permanently stuck on the surface of their planet, if rival nations could shoot down each other's spacecraft, and how do I really feel about the Space Launch System?

04:40 Could a rival shoot down a rocket during launch?

07:07 Should I apologize for advocating for SLS?

11:50 Do photons experience time?

13:42 Can you see Earth's lights from the Moon?

15:28 Can we detect exoplanets with their magnetic fields?

17:27 What missions do I wish were never cut?

20:21 Does finding life mean we're doomed?

22:45 Are galaxies orbiting something bigger?

23:42 Can a star collapse directly into a black hole?

In this week's questions show, I theorize how long life can survive in the Universe, could we detect a wormhole in the Solar System, what's happening with the Chinese Space Agency? And more...

00:00 Start

00:53 How long can life survive?

04:11 Will a black hole leave a remnant after it evaporates?

06:01 Will we detect biosignatures or technosignatures first?

09:35 Will Lucy make it?

11:29 Could red dwarf stars could become less hectic with time?

14:42 Where does energy go if the Universe becomes static?

16:45 Will James Webb see brown dwarfs?

19:32 Could we detect a wormhole?

21:26 Anything interesting with the Chinese space program lately?

23:23 What happens if a gas giant melts?

25:37 What are the challenges to filming on the ISS?

28:07 Should we be afraid of a meteorite crashing into our roofs?

31:34 When we look up, what class of stars are we seeing?

My guest today is Dr. Nikku Madhusudhan, a PhD astronomer at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Madhusudhan is one of the researchers who investigated the habitability of "hycean worlds"; ocean worlds with a thick hydrogen ocean. These worlds are completely alien to anything we have in the Solar System, and yet, could have a much wider region that remains habitable than terrestrial planets.

The new season has begun! We're back with an all-new series of question shows. In this week's episode, I provide a quick guide to seeing fireballs (bolides), which are the brightest meteors you can see (and sometimes hear). I explain the philosophy behind Dyson Spheres, and explain why dark matter can't be made out of antimatter.

00:00 Start

00:43 How big are really bright meteors?

04:15 Are Dyson Spheres just pure fantasy?

08:19 What would it take to resolve features on Proxima B?

11:32 Could anti-matter be dark matter?

12:23 Is Jupiter a failed star?

13:15 Would the transmit method let us detect planets in Andromeda?

14:55 Disappearing stars?

17:38 No more Ewok Forest?

18:50 Could a collider create a dangerous black hole?

20:57 Should we find Oumuamua?

23:21 Could we detect techno signatures in Andromeda?

24:45 What's happening on Mars?

27:43 Could we detect an extraterrestrial war?

28:54 Will space-based power work?

30:43 Will Mars be a knowledge-based economy?

32:53 Will we ever live on Venus?

33:21 Is the Moon moving away?

34:09 Does NASA have new space suits for Artemis?
