What Is Time? – Michio Kaku
String Field Physicist Professor Michio Kaku will try and answer the question that many scientists, philosophers and free thinkers have asked and can never seem to answer: “What is time?” ”
History of Spaceflight – 5
We continue looking at the early history of spaceflight, this time looking at Skylab, the first joint US Soviet mission and the reusable space shuttle.
Dark Matter, The Undetectable Mass
A video that looks at the theory of dark matter and dark energy — dark matter, this undetectable mass is thought to make up ninety six percent of the universe, and dark energy —...
Revolutionary Ideas About Space Travel
A look at some revolutionary ideas about travel in space, from ship designs to innovative methods of propulsion such as solar sails and laser beams. Also a look at antimatter as a power source...
End of the Road for Kepler
The NASA built space telescope Kepler was designed to give us some initial answers to these questions. The flying telescope was launched in 2009 and until summer of 2013. But defects have made it...

Could Human Colonies Exist in Space?
A video that looks at how human colonies could exist in space, from domed cities to underground bases, to orbital habitats, to hollowed-out asteroids.
Asteroids Going Undetected
Former astronaut says many small asteroids going undetected. Many of these are large enough to destroy a city.
Titan’s Chemistry
Saturn’s large moon Titan is a surprisingly Earthlike place. But unlike on Earth, Titan’s surface is far too cold for liquid water – instead, Titan’s clouds, rain, and lakes consist of liquid hydrocarbons like...
Largest Star Ever Discovered Is Dying
An ionised nebula around a star has been discovered pointing to a larger nearby star nearing the end of its life. This dying star is probably the largest start ever discovered with a radius...
Mars Geology Similar to Earth
Curiosity has confirmed the presence of water in the surface soil and we are finding out how similar Mars is to Earth. A look at some of the instruments on Curiosity and the disciveries...
