2001: A Space Odyssey introduced a lot of people to the idea of rotation based artificial gravity, but in sci-fi, it’s far from the only one to implement the idea! Babylon 5, Halo, and Ringworld also used rotation-based artificial gravity in their stores, but, being an astrophysicist I had to ask, WHO DOES IT BEST? And more importantly, is artificial gravity in space possible? And I’m talking outside of your artificial gravity in Kerbal Space Program (but we may get there). (edited)

SPACE, TIME, AND THE NATURE OF REALITY. This episode of Space Time is actually about Spacetime, so pull up a chair, grab your favorite snack, and buckle up, because this episode is going to be a TRIP. Gabe explores what reality is, what “time” is, and why what you think those things are is probably WRONG. Seriously, get ready to have your MIND BLOWN!

ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! We’re just as fascinated as the rest of you with predicting how the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE will start. One surprisingly real scenario is that it could start in SPACE! Especially given the crazy effects space has on bacteria and viruses, and hte difficulty of sterilization. World War Z, The Walking Dead, Zombieland, Dead Space, 28 Days Later, Plants vs. Zombies, Dawn of the Dead and more all imagine a future in which the zombie apocalypse originates on earth. But in this weeks episode of Space Time, Gabe makes us look up at the sky and wonder if SPACE actually poses the biggest threat!

CAN YOU FART YOUR WAY THROUGH SPACE? Listen, we know you’ve thought about it, and we’re here to give you THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER to one of the greatest science questions of all time. How long would it take to get to the MOON by farting? Join Gabe on PBS Space Time as we walk through some of the surprising and WEIRD science behind farts, rockets, and everything in between as we seek an answer to this propulsion problem.

Is the Moon in Majora’s Mask a Black Hole?

Is Link in Majora’s Mask actually being overseen by a Black Hole (with teeth)? It’s easy to take things at face value in video games. But when we take a deeper dive into the physics in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, it seems that the “MOON” might be one of those things that isn’t quite what it seems. Given its size and the way it affects Termina, it actually appears that the moon is really a BLACK HOLE! Is that seriously the only possibility? What is the evidence that supports this theory? Watch this episode of PBS Space Time and find out!

HAS SPACE ALWAYS BEEN BLACK? As long as we’ve been around, YES. But the universe gets much more exciting, AND much BRIGHTER, as we start winding our clocks back to the early days of the universe. Near the beginning of the universe, when space was rapidly expanding, that dark night sky we know so well as actually…ORANGE! But why? Did the lights just go out, or did something more spectacular happen? Watch this episode of PBS Space Time and find out!

DO A BARREL ROLL! Or at least, try…? The iconic move from Star Fox seems so easy, just press a button and BOOM. The ship rolls. But HOW? Barrel rolls in atmosphere are easy to execute with the use of ailerons, but in space, it’s a different issue altogether. With no atmosphere (and no thrusters), how does one Barrel Roll like Star Fox in space?

Killing all the life on Earth is easy. But what about destroying the planet itself? That is DEFINITELY going to happen!! But HOW? Could it be Nukes? A Giant Asteroid? A Collision with another planet? And what’s more, will anyone be around to actually watch the world reach its ultimate demise? Watch this week’s episode of Space Time to find out what will eliminate Planet Earth!!!

Mars One. The Mars Rover. Bruno Mars. Mars Bars. It’s pretty clear we’re OBSESSED with the idea of Mars, especially in regard to it being a potential colony for earthlings. But is that really the best option? Is there a better place for us to colonize in our solar system? Well, how about Venus? Sure the surface temperature is over 450 degrees Celsius, with crazy pressure, but there might be a smart way around that, making Venus a better option for long term colonization than Mars! How? Watch this week’s episode of SpaceTime and find out!
