[Q&A] Rogue Planets with Liquid Oceans, Post JWST Telescope Size, Non-EM Space Communication Sep 26, 2023

How big will the successor of James Webb and Hubble be regarding Starship faring? Can we communicate using something else from radio waves? How can a rogue planet have a liquid ocean? Could aliens look similar to creatures on Earth? How can we detect plate tectonics on exoplanets? Answering all these questions and more in this week's Q&A with Fraser.

[Interview] A Clever Hack to Solve The Hubble Tension Aug 26, 2023

There is a disagreement in measurements of the Hubble constant often referred to as The Crisis in Cosmology. One way to solve it is to observe redshift drift. However, it requires lengthy observations. But my guest, Dr Geraint Lewis, has a hack up his sleeve — gravitational lensing.

[Interview] Nautilus – True Next Gen Space Telescope Aug 09, 2023

Classical space telescopes have their limit. You can't simply build bigger mirrors all the time. Instead, you can build more mirrors and combine them into a telescope array. That's the concept behind the Nautilus Array which we discuss with Prof. Daniel Apai from The University of Arizona.

[Bonus] Robo Eels Exploring Water Worlds, NASA UAP Study, AGI to Take Over Jul 02, 2023

This is an episode of John Michael Godier's show Event Horizon. We explore the extraordinary idea of robo-eels, groundbreaking aquatic automatons designed to unlock the mysteries of water worlds like Enceladus and Europa. Then, we shift gears to discuss NASA's riveting UAP study, exploring unidentified aerial phenomena and their implications for our understanding of the universe. Finally, John and Fraser get into the ever changing realm of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and contemplate its potential impact on our future.

[Interview] Simulating The Universe with Supercomputers Jun 21, 2023

Supercomputer simulations of the Universe are a huge part of modern astronomy. In this interview with Dr Andrew Pontzen we discuss, how exactly are these simulations done, what's the future of this industry, how it will shape the James Webb era and is it possible that we live in a simulation after all.

We still don't know what is Dark Matter. We can see its effects but we don't know what it's made of. However, with their latest publication, Dr Amruth Alfred suggests that dark matter should be made of axions (which are one of the candidates among other particles).

[Interview] Detecting Earth-Size Exoplanets with Magnetospheres Apr 19, 2023

Magnetospheres seem to be a very important factor when considering how habitable a planet is. So it was really exciting when it was announced that an Earth-size exoplanet's magnetosphere was detected using radio telescopes. It can also be a method to look for exoplanets by detecting their magnetic fields.

I'm discussing this discovery with Dr Joe Pesce who is the Program Director at National Science Foundation.

[NIAC 2023] NASA Develops Flying Saucers. Literally Apr 06, 2023

There's an effect called photophoretic propulsion. You could have seen it in a Crookes radiometer. One of the NIAC awards of 2023 was granted to a team that hopes to use this effect to develop a propulsion system. This can allow flying in altitudes nothing else can fly and possibly even explore other worlds.

843: How JWST Sees in Color, Where Is Dark Matter, Did Earth Life Come from Space | Q&A 187 Jun 15, 2022

In this week's questions and answers show, I explain how JWST and other telescopes see color, how images from observatories are released to the public, and how much of the sky can JWST see. Also, a bunch of non-Webb questions too.

00:00 Start
01:55 [Tatooine] How does JWST see color?
09:58 [Coruscant] How are astronomical images released to the public?
12:52 [Hoth] How does JWST handle spacedust?
14:48 [Naboo] How is JWST pointed?
16:39 [Kamino] Could dark matter be detected in specific parts of the Universe?
18:52 [Bespin] Is dark matter just a smart guess?
23:10 [Mustafar] Why does Earth have water and the Moon doesn't?
26:09 [Alderaan] Is Panspermia inevitable?
28:28 [Dagobah] Is the Big Bang a past event or is it still happening?
29:43 [Yavin] What's the best telescope to see planets?
31:19 [Mandalore] If we mapped the CMB from Andromeda, would it look different?
33:10 [Geonosis] Why do we see light from long ago, shouldn't it have passed us?
34:49 [Corellia] How can we promote diversity in STEM?

Want to be part of the questions show? Ask a short question on any video on my channel. I gather a bunch up each week and answer them here.

842: Liquid Mirror Telescope with Dr. Paul Hickson Jun 14, 2022

Dr. Paul Hickson is a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Hickson is overseeing a team that built a telescope out of liquid mercury in India. The International Liquid Mirror Telescope is 4 meters across and built on top of a 3,000-meter mountain in India. This will prove the technology and allow for larger and larger liquid mirror telescopes on Earth (and eventually in space).

836: Orbit Size Telescopes, Meteors Destroying Satellites, Artificial Gravity | Q&A 186 Jun 07, 2022

In this week's Questions and Answers show, I answer what it would take to build a telescope as big as the Earth's orbit around the Sun, why SgrA* seems to have been rolled over on its side, and how we know the age of stars.

00:00 Start
01:50 [Tatooine] Could we have a telescope the size of Earth's orbit?
08:11 [Coruscant] Why is SgrA* rolled over on its side?
09:53 [Hoth] How do we know the age of stars?
14:19 [Naboo] Could you have a collection of smaller mirrors working together?
17:19 [Kamino] Why not build two Uranus missions?
19:11 [Bespin] Why do white dwarfs explode at 1.4 times the mass of the Sun?
21:23 [Mustafar] Where are the Voyagers?
22:20 [Alderaan] Could a meteor storm destroy satellites?
23:49 [Dagobah] Could aliens know there's life on Earth?
27:03 [Yavin] Has anyone ever built artificial gravity in space?
31:36 [Mandalore] How do we get more people to try stargazing?
33:06 [Geonosis] How do you orbit a Lagrange point?
35:31 [Corellia] Are there any missions to return to Pluto?

837: Cosmology and Relativity with Dr. Leah Jenks Jun 07, 2022

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity has been tried and tested many times, and so far, Einstein was right. But we know his theory must be incomplete, as it still doesn't integrate with quantum mechanics. Where are physicists searching next for the future of cosmology and relativity? Dr. Leah Jenks is a PhD recipient from Brown University, and will become a KICP Fellow at the University of Chicago.

832: Jumping to Multicellular Life with Dr. William Ratcliff May 30, 2022

How did life go from single-celled to multi-celled? Dr. William Ratcliff is an Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Quantitative Biosciences at the School of Biological Science at Georgia Tech. Dr. Ratcliff and his collaborators are working with single cells of yeast, watching them make the jump to become multi-cellular organisms. It turns out, life has done this many times in the past, and not just the jump that created the modern animals we know of today.

03:32 [Coruscant] What is the smallest mass star to have turned into a red giant?
06:23 [Hoth] Why do we think aliens have to adhere to the laws of physics?
09:46 [Naboo] Am I too cynical?

14:11 [Bespin] Can black holes grow endlessly?
15:35 [Mustafar] Do black holes eat dark matter?
16:00 [Alderaan] How can we get high bandwidth to Mars?
18:10 [Dagobah] What if aliens don't remake the Universe?
22:32 [Yavin] Could dark energy tear a black hole apart?
25:25 [Mandalore] Am I sad that I won't see the future?
27:54 [Geonosis] How long would trips take if you could go faster than light speed?
30:07 [Corellia] Could Earth lose its orbit around the Sun?
31:52 [Crait] Could there be a bigger telescope than Webb?

820: Fluidic Space Telescopes with Dr. Edward Balaban May 11, 2022

Edward Balaban is a research scientist at NASA Ames and the principal investigator of the Fluidic Telescope Experiment, or FLUTE. The idea is to create a giant lens in space out of a fluid that could maintain its shape in microgravity. The technology was recently tested during the Axiom-1 mission to the International Space Station.
