Decoding Sleep: REM, Deep Sleep, and the Neuroscience of Why We Dream

Ghost in the Orbit: Did a Failed Soviet Mission Become a "Dark Comet"?

What happens when a dead Soviet Mars probe from 1988 looks exactly like a bizarre, fast-spinning asteroid? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating mystery of 1998 KY26—a tiny cosmic oddity currently classified as a "dark comet" due to its strange, non-gravitational acceleration. While Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft is actively tracking it down for a historic 2031 rendezvous, recent astronomical data has completely turned our understanding of this object upside down.

Gravity - Think you know what it is, think again

In today's episode we take a deep dive into gravity and how we are still trying to figure out its weight on Earth.

Ten science myths that your school teacher got wrong

Have you ever wondered if any of the things you learned back in school are still true. In today's episode we expose some "truths" that no longer hold up to scientific proof.

Debunking the EmDrive: How Noether’s Theorem Protects the Laws of Physics

Can a spacecraft truly move without exhaust? The infamous EmDrive promised a revolution in interstellar travel—propulsion without propellant. But there was one massive problem: it seemingly broke the fundamental laws of physics. In this episode, we pit the EmDrive against Noether’s Theorem, the mathematical bedrock behind the conservation of momentum. We chart the device’s thrilling media rise, explore alternative frameworks like Quantized Inertia, and reveal the rigorous TU Dresden tests that finally grounded the "impossible engine." Discover what happens when ambitious engineering collides with the unbreakable symmetries of the universe!

The Legend of the missing Cosmonauts

The "Lost Cosmonaut" conspiracy theory, a Cold War-era legend claiming the Soviet Union hid the deaths of pilots launched into space before Yuri Gagarin’s historic 1961 flight. Central to this narrative are the Judica-Cordiglia brothers, Italian amateur radio enthusiasts who operated a listening post called Torre Bert.
