In New Zealand, bowel cancer is responsible for the second highest number of cancer deaths, and one in ten people diagnosed are under the age of 50. Globally, what was once seen as a disease of old age is now affecting an increasing proportion of the younger population. Research shows that our gut health has a lot to do with prevention and managing risk. Associate Professor of Surgery at Imperial College London, James Kinross, is a colorectal surgeon, scientist and best-selling author. His book Dark Matter explains in practical terms what you can do to look after your microbiome - the ecosystem of micro-organisms living inside you - and the key to a healthy immune system. Dr Kinross will be in New Zealand next month as a guest speaker at the 2025 New Zealand Society for Oncology Conference in Dunedin. He speaks to Mihingarangi Forbes ahead of his trip about our 'internal climate crisis', the use of faecal transplants and why exposure to microbes is necessary for our survival.

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling The Big Bang's Clues: Non-Baryonic Matter and Failed Candidates Headline: Cosmic Evolution Demands New Matter; Neutrinos Fall Short The universe's evolution from the smooth, hot state after the Big Bang to its current clumpy structure of galaxies and clusters requires far more gravity than visible matter can provide. Everything we know, from atoms to stars, is classified as baryonic matter. However, the nature of dark matter must be different; it cannot be composed of atoms and is thus termed non-baryonic matter. In the early 1970s, Albert Bosma used radio telescopes to observe hydrogen gas far beyond visible galactic edges, confirming the widespread anomalous rotation curves found by Rubin and Ford. Early dark matter candidates included neutrinos, but their light, fast-moving nature ("hot dark matter") meant they would clump on vast scales first, contradicting observations of early small clumps. This led to the conclusion that dark matter must be "cold" and slow-moving. 1959

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling New Puzzles, Speculative Theories, and the Future of the Hunt Headline: Dark Crisis Deepens with Anomalous Galaxies and Emergent Gravity Theories The search for dark matter faces new challenges, such as the discovery of dwarf galaxies (e.g., DF44, the Dragonfly Galaxy) that appear to lack dark matter, posing a problem for both standard dark matter theory and MOND. With direct WIMP detection still elusive, physicists explore highly speculative theories: primordial black holes (black holes born in the Big Bang), fuzzy dark matter, or decaying dark matter, though these lack observational evidence. Theoreticians like Erik Verlinde propose "emergent gravity," suggesting gravity is not fundamental but arises from a deeper reality, which could imply dark matter doesn't exist at all. The ongoing search involves particle physics, underground experiments, powerful telescopes like the future Extremely Large Telescope, and the International Space Station's AMS experiment looking for antimatter signals, as scientists continue to refine theories and devise new ways to observe the unseen 1956

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Echoes of the Big Bang and Deep Underground Searches for WIMPs Headline: CMB Confirms Dark Matter and Energy; XENON Searches Remain Elusive The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the oldest light in the universe from a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang, provides crucial evidence for dark matter and dark energy. Analysis of its tiny temperature and density fluctuations precisely determines the universe's composition, independently confirming the need for both dark matter and dark energy even without other observations. Meanwhile, the direct hunt for WIMPs continues in deep underground laboratories like Gran Sasso in Italy, where massive, shielded experiments containing materials like liquid xenon aim to detect the exceedingly rare collisions of dark matter particles with atomic nuclei. These "xenon wars" have, to date, yielded "null results," intensifying the mystery. Only the DAMA experiment, using sodium iodide crystals, claims to have detected a seasonal dark matter effect, but its results remain unconfirmed by other teams. 1952

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling  The Enigma of Dark Energy and Einstein's Lost "Blunder" Headline: Universe's Acceleration Reveals Dark Energy, Validating Einstein's Constant Just as the search for dark matter intensified, cosmology faced a new puzzle: in 1998, two independent teams discovered that the universe's expansion is not slowing down but is, in fact, accelerating. This unexpected finding led to the concept of dark energy, a mysterious vacuum energy in empty space, as the force driving this acceleration. This revelation meant that visible baryonic matter accounts for only about 4.9% of the universe, with dark matter making up 26.6%, and dark energy a staggering 68.5%. Ironically, this unexpected acceleration harked back to Albert Einstein's "cosmological constant," a term he had introduced into his equations as an accelerating force to maintain a static universe and later deemed his "biggest blunder." The discovery of dark energy suggests Einstein may have had a profound, albeit unrecognized, foresight. 1941

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Challenging Dogma: MOND and the Exclusion of MACHO Headline: Alternative Gravity, MOND, Contests Dark Matter Theory as MACHOs are Ruled Out Amidst the elusive search for dark matter, alternative theories have emerged. Mordehai Milgrom and his colleagues developed Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), proposing that our understanding of gravity is flawed at galactic scales, thereby explaining rotational curves without needing dark matter. While some like Jeremiah Ostriker dismiss it, others such as Stacy McGaugh acknowledge its surprising success in fitting observational data. Gravitational lensing, as demonstrated by the Bullet Cluster, offers strong evidence for dark matter by showing separate distributions of mass and gas during galaxy collisions, challenging MOND. Meanwhile, another dark matter candidate, Massive Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs)—very massive, compact objects in galactic halos—was extensively searched for in the 1990s using gravitational microlensing. Despite significant effort, these searches yielded no detections, effectively ruling out MACHOs as the primary form of dark matter. 1958

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Headline: Particle Physics and Simulations Hunt for the Elusive WIMP The concept of cold dark matter, championed by cosmologists like Jim Peebles, describes particles that interact primarily through gravity but lack electrical charge, meaning they don't interact with light, magnetism, or strong nuclear forces. Their only potential interaction is a rare "bump" into an atomic nucleus via the weak nuclear force. This led to the theoretical candidate known as the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). Experiments at facilities like CERN's Large Hadron Collider, with its massive underground detectors, attempt to create and detect these WIMPsthrough high-energy particle collisions, though none have been found yet. Complementing this, computer simulations, such as IllustrisTNG, successfully model the universe's evolution from its smooth beginning to its current clumpiness, but only when incorporating cold dark matter with specific properties, guiding the ongoing search. . 1957

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Theoretical Stability and Observational Proof of Dark Matter Halos Headline: Galaxies Need Invisible Halos: Ostriker and Rubin Provide Evidence In the late 1960s, theorist Jeremiah Ostriker calculated that a flattened galaxy like the Milky Way could not remain stable without a large, spherical "halo" of unseen matter surrounding it, providing a theoretical basis for dark matter. This theoretical need was then powerfully confirmed by the observational work of American astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleague Kent Ford throughout the 1970s. Studying distant galaxies, including Andromeda, they discovered that stars on the outer edges rotated at unexpectedly high, constant velocities, rather than slowing down as predicted. This "flattening the curve" of rotational velocities offered the first concrete proof for the existence of dark matter, whose gravity was necessary to prevent galaxies from flying apart. 1958

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling The Century-Old Mystery Begins: Early Astronomical Observations Headline: Pioneers Uncover Unseen Gravitational Effects in the Cosmos In 1922, Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn, a Dutch astronomer, was the first to introduce the term "dark matter" in a paper theorizing the arrangement and motion of the sidereal system, realizing unseen matter had gravitational effects within the Milky Way. A decade later, his student, Jan Oort, further identified the Milky Way's rotation and, by studying the up-and-down motions of stars, made an early estimate of dark matter in the galaxy's central plane. Building on this, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed the Coma Cluster in California, using redshift to determine galaxy motions. He concluded there was more mass and gravity than visible, coining the German term "dunkle Materie," meaning "dark matter." These early 20th-century findings laid the groundwork for the ongoing dark matter mystery. 1957

Diese Folge des SPIEGEL-Podcasts »Firewall« ist ursprünglich am 24. Juli 2025 erschienen. Im Rahmen des aktuellen Highlight-Programms während der Sommerpause von »Acht Milliarden« veröffentlichen wir sie hier noch einmal. Andreas Scheuer steht für einen der größten Polit-Skandale der letzten Jahre: das Debakel um die PKW-Maut. Trotzdem stand er bei Wahlkampf-Spendern hoch im Kurs. Mindestens 132.000 Euro flossen 2021 in die Kampagne des damaligen Bundesverkehrsministers. Das geht aus einer geheimen Liste hervor, die dem SPIEGEL vorliegt. Viele der Geldgeber waren, ausgerechnet, im Verkehrssektor tätig. Die Unterlagen zeigen, wie deutsche Unternehmer und ihre Vertreter einen Bundesminister umgarnten. Hat sich Scheuer von den Zahlungen beeinflussen lassen? Er selbst sagt zu einzelnen Spenden nichts. Sein Anwalt wirft dem SPIEGEL eine „Skandalisierung von Sachverhalten“ vor, die »mit der Rechtsordnung und dem Parteiengesetz im völligen Einklang stehen und von der Rechtsordnung sogar gewünscht sind«. Der SPIEGEL-Podcast »Firewall« erzählt, wie Wahlkampf-Spender sich offensiv mit ihren Anliegen in Scheuers Ministerium meldeten. Und er rekonstruiert, wie Scheuer mit der PKW-Maut scheiterte, zum unbeliebtesten Minister des Landes wurde. Heute baut er sich eine zweite Karriere in der Wirtschaft auf. Und wieder unterstützen unterstützen ihn einige seiner damaligen Gönner.

Could the future see the emergence and adoption of a new field of engineering called nucleonics, in which the energy of nuclear fusion is accessed at relatively low temperatures, producing abundant clean safe energy? This kind of idea has been discussed since 1989, when the claims of cold fusion first received media attention. It is often assumed that the field quickly reached a dead-end, and that the only scientists who continue to study it are cranks. However, as we'll hear in this episode, there may be good reasons to keep an open mind about a number of anomalous but promising results.Our guest is Jonah Messinger, who is a Winton Scholar and Ph.D. student at the Cavendish Laboratory of Physics at the University of Cambridge. Jonah is also a Research Affiliate at MIT, a Senior Energy Analyst at the Breakthrough Institute, and previously he was a Visiting Scientist and ThinkSwiss Scholar at ETH Zürich.

Alycia Mondavi grew up with a front row seat on the California wine stage. Growing up with that name gives you access but also may draw unwanted attention. Part of the deal is you must leave for five years before coming to work in the family business, something that we've seen in other family run wine operations. Alycia took the break, focused on law, then came back to join her sisters. She now heads brands that do 400 cases to 800,000 cases annually, some only available through allocation and others on every grocery store shelf. Her passion for design has helped her created unique labels on the wines, her allergies to gluten led her to add an ingredient label on the CK Mondavi series with nutritional information, including vegan, sugar and carbs. We weren't sure what to expect from this podcast, we had never met Alycia before, there was concern that she would just be a corporate talking head towing the family line. We realized quickly that she was an open book, sharing stories about her childhood, willing to talk about any subject on the table. We liked her. Hope you enjoy this one, lots of good stuff in here.

Powering spacecraft, especially out in the dark, cold outer solar system, is a huge challenge. There are limits to how large solar panels can be, and they are not very efficient in the weak sunlight beyond Mars. For decades, choice flagship NASA missions have used RTGs--radioisotope thermoelectric generators--to fill this need. From the experiments on the Apollo missions to the Viking Mars landers, Galileo to Jupiter, Cassini to Saturn, and the twin Voyagers, RTGs have provided decades of power for space exploration. From Plutonium to Americium, nuclear elements provide years and years of heat that can be converted into electricity. Dr. Rob O'Brien is the Director of the Center for Space Nuclear Research for the Universities Space Research Association and has specialized in RTGs for decades. It's a fascinating dive into atomic space batteries! Headlines The End of the Universe is Nigh (in 33 Billion Years): New dark matter discoveries suggest an earlier end to the universe, leading to a humorous discussion about bucket list items. August 2nd "Solar Eclipse": Rumors of an August 2nd, 2025, total solar eclipse are false; the next one on that date is in 2027 that won't darken the entire world, but will be the longest one of the century.

Mass Exodus at NASA: Senior NASA staff, including scientists and engineers, are reportedly leaving due to budget cuts, raising concerns about future capabilities. Main Topic - Dr. Robert O'Brien & RTGs (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators) Understanding RTGs: Dr. O'Brien explains RTGs convert heat from radioactive decay into electricity using the Seebeck effect. Early Use of RTGs in Space: The first US public RTG demonstration was on President Eisenhower's desk, and the first space use was the US Navy's Transit 4A satellite in 1961. RTGs on Mars and Deep Space Missions: RTGs power Mars landers and rovers (Viking, Curiosity, Perseverance), and deep space missions like Voyager, Galileo, and Cassini, providing long-term power in harsh environments. Fission Reactors vs. RTGs: RTGs suit small systems and backup power, while fission reactors are better for high-power needs of human expeditions. Plutonium-238 Production Challenges: The scarcity of plutonium-238 is due to its production requiring nuclear reactors and past moratoriums on reprocessing. Americium-241 as an Alternative: Americium-241, abundant in spent fuel and now accessible due to lifted moratoriums on reprocessing, is a viable alternative for powering missions despite lower energy density. Americium in Smoke Detectors and Safety: Americium's safe use in smoke detectors is highlighted, while acknowledging the hazards of working with nuclear materials. Public Perception and RTG Safety: Discussion covers historical atomic energy perceptions, from early toys to environmental concerns, emphasizing rigorous engineering and safety measures like ablative and impact-resistant casings for RTGs.
