Interview: China has launched operations at the world's deepest and largest underground laboratory in an attempt to solve one of the biggest scientific mysteries: the existence of dark matter. The research facility is located beneath Jinping Mountain in Sichuan Province at a depth of almost two and a half kilometres. Dr Ben McAllister a physicist at the Swinburne University of Technology in Western Australia spoke to Prue Lewarne about the deep underground facility.

Physicist and philosopher Sean Carrol talks to Naked Astronomy's Ben McAllister about the nature of time. Is it something truly fundamental to our Universe, or simply an illusion? Along the way they chat about space, relativity, the various ways to travel through time, and how that all relates to the emergence of life in the Universe.... Like this podcast?

Physicist and science populariser Paul Davies talks to Naked Astronomy's Ben McAllister about some of the toughest questions cosmologist are grappling with: how did the Universe begin and how will it end, what provoked the Big Bang, and are we part of a "Multiverse"? The duo also take in Dark Matter, extraterrestrial beings, consciousness, free will and whether it exists, and the origins of life itself... Like this podcast?

A three-week road trip is bringing cutting-edge Aussie research on quantum physics and dark matter, to kids in the bush.  Scientists from organisations around the country will visit regional and rural schools across Australia later this year as part of National Science Week.  Rural reporter Rhiannon Soliman-Marron caught up with physicist Doctor Ben McAllister, who will be taking part in the tour.

This month, Naked Astronomy goes in search of the civilisations with which we might share this Universe. Andrew Siemion, Director of Berkeley SETI Research Center, joins Ben McAllister and Adam Murphy to discuss how likely it is that we are not alone, how we are probing the distant reaches of space for intelligent life, what might thwart us and what's been found so far...

This month on Naked Astronomy, we're seeking the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. We're looking at the "God Equation", an equation that could describe everything we know in physics. What would it look like, and what would it mean? Adam Murphy and Ben McAllister were joined by physicist Michio Kaku, author of the God Equation, to discuss how this kind of equation would come about, and the kind of science that might be needed to explain it...

This month on Naked Astronomy, we're taking a closer look at the largest telescope ever to be built, the Square Kilometre Array. The SKA spans continents, with some of it in South Africa, and some of it in Australia, but how does that work? And also, what is the SKA going to show us about our universe. To find out, Ben McAllister and Adam Murphy spoke with Phil Diamond, the Director General for the SKA project...Ben - You're probably familiar with the concept of a telescope - humans have been making them for at least hundreds of years, and using them to learn about the Universe beyond our...

What's a scientific paper? What's peer review? And when governments say they're "following the science" during this pandemic, what does that actually mean? We're figuring out how science goes from results in a lab to become public information, or even national policy. Plus, in the news: we rate the security of the UK's new COVID-19 tracing app; doctors that didn't know they'd been infected with coronavirus; and should we really be bailing out airlines?

On the tenth anniversary of Naked Astronomy, Dark Matter physicist Ben McAllister delivers our State of the Universe Address and asks "what's changed" in astronomy over the decade since we launched this programme. World leaders explain the impacts of the first photographs of a black hole, the Nobel prize for the detection of exoplanets, the new insights arising from the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation, and the revolution in physics that was the first detection of gravitational waves...

"This is a tale of a strange and dangerous world..."Join your hosts Grace Chapple, Thomas Owen, Jackson Used and Ben McAllister as they embark on their journey through Carthas. In this episode, we meet a mysterious vaguely British scholar, and her hapless half-elf muscle. Listen as they whisk our heroes off on a quest that they definitely aren't qualified for, and do not understand.Check us out @htwlaid on twitter, and head to curionetwork.com to see other stuff from Curio, including a show where Grace talks to people about the knick-knacks and objects that are most precious to them, and the stories they hold.Note: In a spooky, DND-worthy twist some audio goblins went and gobbled down chunks of Grace's audio, which genuinely causes us immense physical pain.
