Why Scientists Keep Trying to Break This 18th Century Law
It’s usually not a great idea to break laws, but breaking the laws of science is an exception! In fact, it’s often how we make progress.

A Baby Planet May Have Once Smashed Into Jupiter - SciShow News
Shortly after Jupiter formed, it might have been struck by an object that may have otherwise become its own planet! And researchers have a new estimate of how many Earth-like planets might exist.

TED-ED: If matter falls down, does antimatter fall up? - Chlo_ Malbrunot
Like positive and negative, or debit and credit, matter and antimatter are equal and opposite. So if matter falls down, does antimatter fall up? Chloe Malbrunot investigates that question by placing two atoms - one made of matter, and...

The Deepest Sound in the Universe
Thanks to X-ray telescopes, scientists in the 1970s found the first real evidence that black holes actually existed, and astronomer Andrew Fabian has used X-ray research to unlock incredible mysteries ever since, including a giant sound...

An Alternative to Dark Matter?
Models of the universe’s early days have only been possible with dark matter as a variable, but we still don’t have proof that dark matter exists. But recently, scientists may have found a way to replicate the results without the...

Dark Matter
Today on Crash Course Astronomy, Phil dives into some very dark matters. The stuff we can actually observe in the universe isn’t all there is. Galaxies and other large structures in the universe are created and shifted by a force we...

Work Energy Principle
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the kinetic energy gained by an object is equivalent to the work done on the object. The force on the object must act parallel or antiparallel to the motion of the object to do work. Several...

Brown Dwarfs Space’s Strangely Important Oddballs
You’d think it would be easy to tell if an object in space was a star or a planet - is it big, hot, and shining? It’s a star! Small, cool, and made of rock and gas? Planet! But cosmic oddities know as brown dwarfs remind us that the...

The Speed of Light is NOT About Light
The speed of light is often cited as the fastest anything can travel in our universe. While this might be true, the speed of light is the EFFECT and not the CAUSE of this phenomenon. So what's the cause? On this week's episode of Space...
