Exploring Uranus's Rotational Secrets, New Crew at the ISS, and the Dangers of Space TravelIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into groundbreaking measurements of Uranus's rotational rate, achieved with unprecedented accuracy by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. This new technique, which analyzed over a decade of observations of the planet's auroras, provides essential insights into Uranus's complex atmosphere and magnetic field, establishing a vital reference point for future planetary studies.A New Crew Arrives at the International Space StationNext, we cover the arrival of a new crew aboard the International Space Station, as the Russian Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft successfully docks with the orbiting outpost. The crew, consisting of two Russians and an American, will spend eight months conducting over 200 experiments and performing maintenance on the station.The Dangers of Going into SpaceAdditionally, we discuss the various dangers associated with human spaceflight, including the effects of microgravity on the human body, radiation exposure, and the physical challenges astronauts face during long-duration missions. Experts from NASA highlight the ongoing research to ensure astronaut safety as humanity prepares for deeper space exploration.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 47 for broadcast on 18 April 202500:49 Hubble's measurements of Uranus's rotational rate06:30 Implications for future planetary research12:15 New crew arrival at the ISS aboard Soyuz MS-2718:00 Overview of the crew's mission and experiments22:45 Dangers of human spaceflight and health impacts27:00 Summary of recent space exploration news30:15 Science report: Lab-grown meat flavor innovationswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com
La tensión de Hubble es el nombre que se da a la discrepancia que existe entre la medición de la aceleración de la expansión del universo en sus primeras etapas y en el presente. Algo que está muy relacionado con la energía oscura y que ha estado de actualidad en los últimos meses. Es posible, incluso, que la energía oscura no sea constante, cómo se cree (y establece) en el Modelo Estándar. Así que, ¿qué consecuencias podría tener y cómo se intenta resolver?

Listen in as Real Science Radio host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney review and update some of Bob Enyart's legendary list of not so old things! From Darwin's Finches to opals forming in months to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, to carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be (including in diamonds and dinosaur bones!), scientific observations simply defy the claim that the earth is billions of years old. Real science demands the dismissal of the alleged million and billion year ages asserted by the ungodly and the foolish. * Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. Hear about this also at rsr.org/spetner. * Finches Speciate in Two Generations vs Two Million Years for Darwin's Birds? Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Opals Can Form in "A Few Months" And Don't Need 100,000 Years: A leading authority on opals, Allan W. Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things! * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including: - in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa. - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts. - The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly,

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 44The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Discoveries About Uranus, the 2025 Space Environment Robert on Space Junk, and NASA's Starliner Testing UpdatesIn this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking insights into the atmosphere of Uranus, derived from two decades of observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Uranus, an ice giant with its unique tilt and rotation, reveals complex atmospheric dynamics that scientists are just beginning to understand. We discuss the implications of Hubble's findings, including the distribution of methane and the changing aerosol structures as the planet approaches its northern summer solstice in 2030.The 2025 Space Environment RobertNext, we delve into the European Space Agency's 2025 Space Environment Robert, highlighting the growing challenge of space debris orbiting Earth. With thousands of defunct satellites and rocket stages contributing to the clutter, we examine the risks posed to operational spacecraft and the urgent need for international debris reduction measures. The report underscores the potential for catastrophic chain reactions in space, known as Kessler Syndrome, and the pressing need for sustainable practices in orbit.Nasa and Boeing's Starliner Testing PreparationsAdditionally, we provide updates on NASA and Boeing's ongoing efforts to address issues with the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. Following a series of test flight challenges, the teams are preparing for new evaluations and propulsion system tests aimed at certifying Starliner for future crewed missions.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one. It's on side two where Kiri answers my question on the difference between other races and humans when it comes to coercion. She stresses not to try it as it would probably be discovered. At one point she discusses how the Hubble telescope has been glitching lately. Some explanations should be made that we discussed Mark jumping up and down on it but it was in his astral body which had no effect physically. We have a lot of people to get to so we move on to the surprise honored guest of Ashter himself. He notes my position with the command as both a cadet officer with the flight crews and an ambassador due to the work Mark and I had been doing for them. We move on to my questions which were about astral projection becoming more popular in the media, an upcoming planetary conjunction as well as a lunar eclipse happening within the next twenty-four hours. He answers each with a wisdom that explains why he's in charge. He hopes to be available for the upcoming healing and then makes way for the head of communications for Ashtar Command, Korton. This is when things get really interesting as we start off with a deeper understanding of the astral projection question I had asked Ashtar. We then explore the darker side of the human psyche and the power it can generate though not as much as the light side once it is mastered. That is a fascinating conversation only surpassed by the discussion we have on the spaceships on the base and how they operate. He confirms a number of my observations that had piqued my curiosity so we learn that we don't have the same substances they use for power. Omal takes over from there and it gets even more interesting as he explains how everything is basically made up of pyramids unless they are stars which travel in a zigzag but is still part of a pyramid. We come to the conclusion everything is interconnected before going over the designs of the crystal cleaning structure I had created. He steps aside then for Alana who at that time was still very shy and can barely be heard. We strongly suggest the transcript for her time channeling. What we do talk about though is whether dolphins can astral travel and how they do a lot of their talking telepathically. That leaves Tia to finish up who volunteers to help with the healing of Carrie. There was to be a meta-concert involved so her energy would be welcome. We finish things up by going over how the human race has been stunted in its growth much like a bonsai tree. We note though that everything New Age was growing beyond any bounds to control it. This was still in a time where the Internet was mostly accessed through dial-up. We can see now how the Internet has exploded since then with the knowledge of both Ashtar Command and the Galactic Federation. This channeling session is coming at a good time to be released at this critical junction in our history. We hope you find it enlightening. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website: http://hadesbasenews.com The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 11/27/1993. Side two includes: 1.)(0:00)- Kiri warns against trying to coerce any other races besides humans during the meetings I had with them for the conference. We also work on preparations for the healing where she'll be helping. 2.)(5:31)- Ashtar makes a surprise appearance and answers questions about an upcoming planetary conjunction, a lunar eclipse, and how the prevalence of astral travel in the media is helping in its growth. 3.)(11:15)- Korton talks the dark and light sides of the human psyche before confirming some observations I had about a ship on which I was part of the crew such as its power supply and storage. 4.)(21:24)- Omal explains the nature of reality and how it is based on the structure of a pyramid. It started about DNA molecules but morphed into how everything is interconnected. We also cover crystal cleaning. 5.)(27:17)- Alana answers questions about the dolphins on the base and whether they astral project since they communicate telepathically. We cover as well how being submerged is much like being in space. 6.)(30:48)- Tia finishes up the session by volunteering to help out with the upcoming healing session. As a meta-concert is involved, she would be a valuable part of the secondary supplying energy.
Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
Cosmologists were, let us be honest, pretty stunned in 1998 when observations revealed that the universe is accelerating. There was an obvious plausible explanation, the cosmological constant proposed by Einstein, which is equivalent to a constant vacuum energy pervading space. But the cosmological constant was known to be enormously smaller than its "natural" value, and it seems fine-tuned for it to be so small but not yet zero. Once burned, twice shy, and since then we have been looking for evidence that the dark energy might not be strictly constant, even though that's even more fine-tuned.

Wie misst man eigentlich Entfernungen im Universum? Und wie hat sich unser Verständnis darüber im Laufe der Jahrhunderte verändert? In dieser Folge erklimmen Susanne und Paul mit euch die „Himmelsleiter“ der Astronomie und zeigen, wie Wissenschaftler über Jahrhunderte hinweg nach Wegen suchten, die kosmischen Distanzen zu bestimmen.Von den ersten Versuchen mit Venustransits, bei denen Forscher wie Captain Cook im 18. Jahrhundert die einen der sehr seltenen Durchgänge der Venus vor der Sonne beobachteten, bis hin zu den bahnbrechenden Erkenntnissen der modernen Astronomie – unsere beiden Astronomen tauchen mit euch heute ein in die Geschichte der Himmelsvermessung. Die berühmten Keplerschen Gesetze halfen zwar, die Bewegung der Planeten zu verstehen, doch ohne eine verlässliche Bestimmung der Entfernung zwischen Erde und Sonne blieb die Himmelsleiter sogar im Sonnensystem ohne Maßstab. Erst aufwendige Expeditionen brachten uns diesem heiligen Gral der Astronomie näher.Und dann? Im 19. Jahrhundert brachte die Messung der Parallaxe den nächsten Durchbruch: Wir erfuhren, wie weit weg die nächsten Sterne sind. Heute liefern uns Teleskope und Raumsonden wie Gaia gigantische Datenmengen, die es ermöglichen, Entfernungen für Milliarden von Objekten im All zu berechnen.Doch nicht nur geometrische Methoden helfen uns weiter – auch das Licht der Sterne verrät uns, wie weit sie entfernt sind. Mithilfe der Spektralanalyse können wir die wahre Leuchtkraft eines Sterns bestimmen und so seine Distanz berechnen.Wie all diese Methoden zusammenspielen und welche faszinierenden Erkenntnisse sie uns über das Universum liefern – das erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge mit unseren beiden Himmelspaziergängern Susanne und Paul!
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, parenting has transformed significantly, with innovative tools designed to enhance the experience of raising children. The advent of smart parenting technology offers a myriad of solutions aimed at connecting, protecting, and nurturing kids from infancy through their early years. This essay explores the benefits and functionalities of smart parenting tech, as illustrated by the latest offerings from Hubble Connected, a company dedicated to developing products that cater to the needs of modern parents.Smart Monitor for ParentsOne of the standout products showcased at CES by Hubble Connected is the Hubble AI Vision baby monitor. This device epitomizes the integration of artificial intelligence into childcare, providing parents with a comprehensive suite of features that promote both safety and well-being. The monitor not only allows parents to view their child from anywhere in the world via a dedicated app but also employs AI to track sleep patterns. It can notify parents when their baby rolls over, providing insights into sleep quality, such as whether the baby is experiencing deep sleep or restlessness. This level of monitoring is invaluable for parents who seek to understand their child's sleep habits and ensure their safety during the night.Moreover, the AI capabilities extend beyond sleep tracking. The Hubble AI Vision monitor includes features such as eye wellness monitoring, which tracks blinking rates, and true cry detection, allowing parents to receive notifications based on the baby's cries or other sounds in the environment.

This feature allows for emotional connection even when parents are away, reinforcing bonds through voice messages. Additionally, the bear can facilitate two-way communication, enabling children to express their thoughts and feelings back to their parents. This interactive element is crucial in the developmental phase, as it encourages children to articulate their emotions and maintain relationships with family members.Hubble the Bear also incorporates a unique feature that allows parents to record bedtime messages, creating a comforting routine for children. This aspect of the product highlights the importance of emotional security in early childhood development. The bear can store over an hour of screen-free content, including audiobooks, lullabies, and soothing sounds, which can stimulate a child's imagination without the distraction of screens. In an age where screen time is a growing concern, Hubble the Bear provides a thoughtful alternative that supports auditory learning and creativity.Kid-Friendly Tech Enhances Parental ControlThe integration of smart parenting technology into daily life offers numerous benefits, including enhanced safety, improved communication, and the promotion of healthy habits. As parents navigate the complexities of raising children in a digital age, these tools provide essential support, allowing them to monitor their child's well-being and foster meaningful connections. The innovations presented by companies like Hubble Connected illustrate a broader trend toward the use of technology as a means to enrich parenting experiences, making it easier for families to adapt to the demands of modern life.In conclusion, smart parenting tech represents a significant leap forward in how caregivers approach childcare.

Today, we primarily occupy ourselves with alternative explanations to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Many listeners will be familiar with Pierre Marie Robitaille's theory that the CMB is produced due to the hydrogen bond lattice of the oceans. Here, Assis lays out a different theory - championed by at least four Nobel Laureates - that the CMB isn't the afterglow of the Big Bang - it's simply the temperature at which the cold, dark objects of space are equilibrated against the background light of the stars.

Lunar exploration continues to accelerate, and there's a new longest "structure" in the universe. Quipu is a quasi-alignment of clusters of galaxies stretching over 1 billion light years. Structure is in cynical quotation marks because these objects are not bound or connected to each other in any way, but their arrangement is a natural consequence of the evolution of the universe. If we happen to be in a Quipu-like structure ourselves, that may help us get out of our Hubble tension problem. Join us for cosmological mind-benders like this, and updates on ocean worlds and other moons closer to home, as well as space news and trivia.
Do you have a telescope? If so, NASA is inviting you to help commemorate Hubble's 35th anniversary by accepting a year-long stargazing challenge.
¿Qué tamaño tiene el universo? Durante dos milenios, la respuesta a esta pregunta parecía sencilla: el universo es el Sistema Solar, así que sólo tenemos que medir cómo de lejos están las estrellas de nosotros. Esta imagen, que fue el paradigma durante la Antigüedad y la Edad Media, empezó a mostrar signos de agotamiento en la Edad Moderna, cuando se descubrió que algunas estrellas se mueven, y que por lo tanto no pueden ser "puntos de luz pintados en la pared exterior del Sistema Solar". En el siglo XIX se consiguió, al fin, medir las distancias a algunas estrellas y se descubrió que estaban *realmente lejos*. El universo se había hecho grande de repente. A partir de entonces, el paradigma pasó a ser "el universo es la Vía Láctea", y se asumía que quizá el universo tendría miles de años luz de diámetro; a lo sumo, decenas de miles de años luz. Ésta es la idea con la que llegamos a principios del siglo XX, y el destino de esta idea también era ser refutada. Esto ocurrió hace exactamente 100 años, en los primeros días de enero de 1925, y hoy os contamos su historia. La historia de cómo el universo "creció" en nuestra mente y pasó a tener no sólo una galaxia, sino miles de ellas. El protagonista de esta historia es famoso, pero no por este descubrimiento. En estos momentos era un astrónomo perfectamente desconocido que se especializaba en medir distancias. Cuatro años después, en 1929, se convertiría en el descubridor de la expansión del universo. Estamos hablando, claro, de Edwin Hubble. Si os interesa este asunto, os contamos más sobre el tamaño del universo y de los objetos que hay en él en el capítulo s01e36 de Aparici en Órbita. También podéis encontrar más información en varios capítulos de nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia: buscad los episodios s11e10, s08e29 y s14e07. Y si queréis aprender más sobre el otro trabajo de Hubble, la expansión del universo, buscad los capítulos s05e30 y s03e22 de La Brújula. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 9 de enero de 2025.

Listeners of the show will know that there are compelling reasons to believe that these conclusions are based on questionable assumptions at the very heart of physics. This conversation, between a liquid sun proponent, a scientist who has spent his career studying the mainstream, and an appreciator of finely crafted theories, is an opportunity to lay these questionable assumptions on the table and to see how they hold up to scrutiny. Dr. Banik is also an invited speaker at our Beyond the Big Bang gathering in Portugal this summer, and has graciously agreed to serve as a counterbalance to those who say that the Big Bang Theory doesn't have much life left in it.

The more measurements we make of the expansion of the universe, the more it seems as though Hubble Tension is not a problem with our data but a problem with our understanding of the expansion of the universe. We'll talk about that, and some cool new observations closer to home, including a disintegrating exoplanet that is giving us a unique peak into a planet's insides. Join us for all this and more, including space news and trivia.
In Folge 123 schauen wir zuerst auf neue Asteroiden, alte Raumsonden und andere Galaxien. Und dann erzählt Ruth, wo sich der ganze Kohlenstoff rumgetrieben hat, bevor er Planeten und Menschen gebildet hat. Er hat einen langen Weg hinter sich, aus dem Inneren der Sterne, bis weit hinaus aus der Galaxis und wieder zurück. Evi erzählt von Zeitreisen in Filmen und in der Quantenmechanik und wir diskutieren darüber, warum das irgendwie nie funktioniert.

Have you ever wondered how data from the telescopes that peer into our universe ends up in the hands of the astronomers who interpret it? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Robert Sparks, currently from the NSF's NOIRLab, but previously Fermi Lab and the Sloan Sky Survey. The National Optical InfraRed Astronomy Research Lab is responsible for operating the National Science Foundation's ground based, nighttime optical and near infrared astronomy for the United States. Robert describes their Community Science Data Center which ties all the data from all their telescopes together to make it available for astronomers around the world to use in their research. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a project coming out of NOIRLab called 88 Constellations. Robert, who spearheaded the project, explains how the final, incredibly detailed image combined classic constellations and new, modern additions and covered the entire sky. One of his favorite parts of the project? Learning about the constellations in the southern hemisphere that doesn't get to see that often, like the Southern Cross. Chuck, Allen and Robert share some of their experiences stargazing down below, and yes, you know Chuck takes the opportunity to sing us a little Crosby, Stills and Nash! You'll also hear which constellation is the smallest in the southern hemisphere, Crux (the Southern Cross) or Delphinus. Then it's on to audience questions. Our first comes from Amirah, who asks, “Blue stars are hotter than red stars, so does that mean blue light bulbs are hotter than red light bulbs? Why would something's color matter about how hot something is?” The short answer: yes (pre-LED, that is!) Robert's long answer involves black body radiation, the electromagnetic spectrum, and red giant carbon stars. Rob shares stories from a career that bridges astronomy and particle physics, including how he got his hands on some original scintillator material from particle detectors at Fermi Lab. (Check out The LIUniverse on Patreon for a scintillating deep dive into…well, scintillation!) The next audience question, from Bryan, is particularly relevant to the discussion: How do astronomy and physics work together? In many, ways, as Robert and Chuck explain. Allen shares the story of the discovery of the element Helium, which was first discovered in the Sun by astronomers, hence its name. You'll also get to hear about Robert's 38-year-long career in improv comedy – and get to watch him (and his cat) act out scenes prompted by Chuck. Finally, we've got one last audience question from Jerry, who says, “I live really far away from the city and I don't have a telescope. What's the best way for me to do astronomy research?” Robert, who grew up in Iowa, tells Jerry about citizen science astronomy projects he can get involved like those at The Zooniverse. You'll hear about how, while working at a program there known as the Galaxy Zoo, a Dutch schoolteacher named Hanny Van Arkel discovered a weird light echo from a quasar that is now known as “Hanny's Voorwep” (Hanny's Object).

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 04Challenging the Existence of Dark EnergyA groundbreaking study from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand is challenging the long-held belief in dark energy, suggesting that the universe's expansion might not require this enigmatic force. The research proposes the "timescape" model, which accounts for variations in cosmic expansion rates by considering differences in gravitational time dilation. This model could potentially resolve some of the universe's biggest mysteries, including the Hubble tension, by suggesting that dark energy is simply a misinterpretation of cosmic conditions.Solar Wind Slowing Beyond PlutoNASA's New Horizons spacecraft has detected a slowdown in the solar wind as it travels beyond Pluto. The data reveals that the solar wind, a stream of charged particles from the Sun, decelerates as it picks up interstellar material. This discovery offers new insights into the heliosphere's outer reaches and the interaction between solar and interstellar forces.Venus's Volcanic PastNew research indicates that Venus's ancient tesserae regions, once thought to be akin to Earth's continental crust, may actually be composed of layered volcanic rocks. This finding, based on radar data from NASA's Magellan mission, challenges previous assumptions and provides fresh perspectives on Venus's geological history.00:00 New observations show the solar wind slowing down beyond Pluto00:27 New study claims dark energy doesn't explain accelerating universe11:27 If the universe has an energy field of the right kind, expansion can accelerate18:22 Some tesserae on Venus have layering consistent with volcanic activity21:07 Scientists have identified a new genetic link to autism spectrum disorder23:51 LG will release a fridge with a transparent OLED door24:58 The flip phone turns 29 on January 3rd, 199626:28 Microsoft have announced their own version of Apple's Mac Mini27:31 Space Time is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Apple Podcastswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com
The effect, known as the Hubble Tension, has been confirmed by James Webb Space Telescope observations. Also, despite near daily warnings of food recalls, 2024 hasn't been that different from previous years.The Universe Is Expanding Faster Than ExpectedThere's still a lot to be learned about the physics of our universe—and one of the most perplexing ideas is something called the Hubble Tension. That's an observation, made around a decade ago, that the universe seems to be expanding faster than it should be according to cosmologists' understanding of its earliest days. Now, two years of James Webb Space Telescope observations of supernovae have confirmed those previous measurements made by the Hubble telescope, meaning that the puzzle isn't just due to some instrumental error.Casey Crownhart, climate reporter at MIT Technology Review, joins Kathleen Davis to talk about that finding and other stories from the week in science, including a new quantum computing chip from Google, efforts to improve electrical control of prosthetics, proposed new protections for monarch butterflies, and more.Are Food Recalls Actually On The Rise? Not Really.It feels like there's been an onslaught of food recalls this year. The Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture have issued recalls for items like cucumbers and carrots, deli meat and smoked salmon, which have been contaminated with pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, and listeria.There were just over 1,900 food recalls in the fiscal year ending in October 2024. While that number has been increasing since an initial dip in recalls early in the COVID-19 pandemic, it's still lower than the numbers seen in the several years before the pandemic.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with Dr. Byron Chaves, food scientist and professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, about why it feels like there are so many food recalls this year, how a recall happens, and what food safety tips you should know as a consumer.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
