We WILL Fix Climate Change!
Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization. While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears […]
Can YOU Fix Climate Change?
Never before in human history have we been richer, more advanced or powerful. And yet we feel overwhelmed in the face of rapid climate change. It seems simple on the surface. Greenhouse gases trap energy from the Sun and transfer it to our atmosphere. This leads to warmer winters, harsher summers. Dry places become drier […]

Brian Cox – Why Did The Big Bang Happen?
English physicist and professor of particle physics Brian Cox explains the details behind the Big Bang theory. The moment where space, time and everything else that came into existence which would eventually give rise to the present day cosmos, occurred some 13.75 billion years ago. The prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable […]
The Real Philosopher’s Stone: Turning Lead into Gold
With scientists’ efforts and their creativity, we finally found “the real philosopher’s stone.” That’s right, we can now turn lead into gold… a little bit.
Where does gold come from? – David Lunney
Did you know that gold is extraterrestrial? Instead of arising from our planet’s rocky crust, it was actually cooked up in space and is present on Earth because of cataclysmic stellar explosions called supernovae. CERN Scientist David Lunney outlines the incredible journey of gold from space to Earth. Lesson by David Lunney, animation by Andrew […]

The Beginning of The Universe – Sir Roger Penrose on His Conformal Cyclic Cosmology Model
Our universe spawned into existence about 13.7 billion years ago. The Big Bang is the prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. It is also widely accepted as being the beginning of space and time. However, there is one problem with this […]
Brian Greene – Do Parallel Universes Exist?
Brian Greene – Do Parallel Universes Exist? Renowned physicist Brian Greene talks about the possible existence of parallel universes. It’s not often that someone is able to communicate the complex theories of a parallel worlds or a multiverse for that matter in a way that’s entertaining, informative, and easy to understand. Luckily, Brian Greene is […]
Could We Control the Weather to Solve Extreme Droughts?
As severe droughts threaten regions across the world, scientists have proposed a solution that sounds like science fiction: What if we just make it rain ourselves?

Why We Should NOT Look For Aliens – The Dark Forest
The Universe is incredibly big and seems full of potential for life, with billions of habitable planets. If an advanced civilization had the technology to travel between the stars, at just 0.1% of the speed of light, It could colonize our galaxy in roughly 100 million years. Which is not that long given the billions […]
