Giant mech suits are the stuff of science fiction, but one inventor and his team are hoping to make them a reality. The result isn’t your typical mech, as these behemoths are built to race. […]
Gravitons could bridge the divide between general relativity and quantum mechanics. But efforts to find these hypothetical particles have proved tricky — until now. Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker​ Watch more Elements! http://bit.ly/ElementsPlaylist​ Visit our shop […]
We know that gravity must cause clocks to run slow on the basis of logical consistency. And we know that gravity DOES cause clocks to run slow based on many brilliant experiments. But I never […]
It was pretty impressive when LIGO detected gravitational waves from colliding black holes. Well, we’ve just taken that to the next level with a galaxy-spanning gravitational wave detector that may have detected a foundational element […]
There’s a deep connection between gravity and time – gravitational fields seem to slow the pace of time in what we call gravitational time dilation. And today we’ll explore the origin of this effect. And […]
Today we’re going to delve into a couple of the most famous paradoxes of special relativity: the Twin Paradox, The Ladder Paradox (aka the Barn-Pole Paradox), and a paradox suggested by our very own viewers, […]
Erratum: Figures in the episode should be Minev et al. (2019), not Minney et al. (2009). Our apologies to the authors! This is the experiment we talk about: To Catch and Reverse a Quantum Jump […]
We often think of quantum mechanics as only affecting only the smallest scales of reality, with classical reality taking over at some intermediate level. But in his 1944 book, What is Life?, the quantum physicist […]
We all want a cleaner, more renewable energy. But when it comes down to it, the energy of the future is going to be the cheapest energy. So in this video, we compare energy production […]
Dyson spheres come up a lot in science fiction, as well as in discussions around alien civilizations. But what are they? Do they exist and the even bigger question… Could humans ever make one? Want […]
