Explore 'Stephen Hawking' and his amazing discoveries about the universe! A quick, inspiring look at a science hero for kids.

This video explores the fascinating world of polar bears, the largest living land carnivore and the only bear species classified as a marine mammal. It delves into their unique adaptations, hunting strategies, and the challenges they...

Wind turbines are giant futuristic windmills that use the power of the wind to generate electricity. The wind turns the blades of the turbine, which then powers a generator to produce clean and renewable energy. Wind power is...

"The Oregon Trail was a vital route that facilitated the westward expansion of the United States in the 1800s. Over 400,000 pioneers embarked on this treacherous journey, facing challenges such as crossing rivers, rugged terrains, and...

This video takes the reader through the first part of the space alphabet adventure, covering letters A to E. It includes explanations of asteroids, black holes, comets, dwarf planets, and Earth, as discovered by the characters in...

The speed of light and black holes. What happens when at the speed of light? What about a black hole? This video explains how time dilations works with very fast relativistic speeds. The equation and the intuition behind the logic.

It’s widely accepted that nothing can escape a black hole, not even light, but that's not entirely true!

Nobel Laureate in Physics Roger Penrose (Oxford) speculates on what others are saying - and not saying - about his groundbreaking theory.

Nobel laureate in Physics David Politzer (Caltech) uses a banjo to demonstrate how octaves and harmonics arise from vibrating strings.

Nobel Laureate Roger Penrose, University of Oxford, describes why he believes that inflationary cosmology doesn't explain the mystery of why the universe began in such an unlikely, very smooth state, arguing that had it started out...

Learn about black holes -- a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from it -- with this space science explained video by KLT!

This video explores five fun facts about gravity.

Physics majors study the universe, from electrons and protons to supergiant stars.



As a physics major you will take A LOT of math and apply complex formulas to the problems at hand. Physics majors don't just learn the...

Gravitational lensing occurs when a huge amount of matter, like a star, galaxy, or cluster of galaxies, creates a powerful gravitational field around it, strong enough to bend the light coming from distant galaxies (behind...

What happens when black holes collide? What is the speed of gravity? There are so many weird questions related to gravitational waves.

On Feb 11, 2016 Scientists at LIGO announced that they had detected gravitational waves for the first time. In the press conference heard round the world, they showed the tell-tale waveforms indicating that huge event in which two black...

In this episode streamed on Oct. 24, 2019, we host our second annual NASA-themed Halloween costume and cosplay contest!

NSF-funded Physics Frontiers Centers (PFCs) are pushing the frontiers of science across the disciplines of physics. The Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics (KICP) tackles the big questions in cosmology — dark matter, dark...

he Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuStar X-ray telescope will be launched on June 13. A Pegasus plane-based launch vehicle will deliver the Nustar into a low Earth orbit. The NuStar will use mirrors and detectors separated by...

Can a close look at the universe give us solutions to problems too difficult even for a planet-sized computer to solve? Physicist Stephen Jordan considers this question and more in our latest video.

The black hole information paradox and Soft Hair. What does Stephen Hawking's last paper on black holes with soft hair say about the black hole information paradox?

The Physics Girl team visited LIGO once again. This place is Dianna's obsession.

In this video I cover research examples going on in terms of space exploration. Main topics covered include dark energy, dark matter, black holes, pulsars, neutron st

ars, and more.

Also note there is a...

Part 2 of the press conference announcing the first direct detection of gravitational waves -- February 11, 2016. The press conference continued after the live webcast concluded. See the remainder here for the first time.
