You’ve probably known OF E=mc² since you were born, and were also probably told that it meant that it proved Mass equaled Energy, or something along those lines. BUT WAIT. Was E=mc² explained to you properly? Mass equalling energy is mostly true, but E=mc² actually describes a much more interesting, and frankly mind-blowing aspect of reality that likely wasn’t covered in your high school physics class. Join Gabe on this week’s episode of PBS Space Time he discusses THE TRUE MEANING OF E=mc²

NASA is really good at going to space, amongst other things, but did you know that part of their mission is to work also for the public good!? It’s part of NASA’s doctrine that they must release the patents on the stuff they work on, which has, over the years, given us some really awesome things you would have never thought have come from NASA! There’s also some CRAZY stuff they’ve worked on that will very likely define your future! Watch this episode of Space Time to find out what’s next for your future and for NASA!

Okay, going to Mars is going to be expensive. Not only that, but who we choose to pick on that trip also needs to have the statistically lowest chance of… perishing. So it might be the case that our best scenario is all female crew! The Mars Rover is doing some small work, but there are some things humans are just better at. Failing a Mars Mission (and no, Mars One doesn’t count) would be a big setback, so we need to get our first attempt right. So, who’s best suited for the trip? Well, watch this episode of PBS Space Time to find out why it may be advantageous to have our first mars mission be all women!

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!

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 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!
