Woher kommt eigentlich alles, woraus wir bestehen?In dieser Folge von Gemeinsam durch die Galaxis nehmen Susanne und Paul eine Frage aus dem Publikum zum Anlass für einen besonders weiten gedanklichen Spaziergang: Woher stammt die Materie im Universum?Gemeinsam erkunden unsere beiden Himmelspaziergänger, wie Atome entstehen, warum wir im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes aus Sternenstaub sind – und weshalb ein Teil der Stoffe, aus denen wir bestehen, sogar aus der Nähe des Urknalls kommen. Paul und Susanne reflektieren aber nicht nur den Ursprung vertrauter Materie, sondern werfen auch einen Blick auf ihre rätselhaften Begleiter: dunkle Materie und dunkle Energie, die den größten Anteil des Kosmos ausmachen.Anschaulich und mit spielerischen Vergleichen nähern sich Susanne und Paul den Grundlagen von Masse und Energie, erklären das berühmte E = mc² und zeigen, warum das Higgs-Feld eine Schlüsselrolle dabei spielt, dass Teilchen überhaupt Masse besitzen.In „Hinter der Schlagzeile“ richtet sich der Blick schließlich auf schwarze Löcher: Neue Überlegungen zum Schatten dieser extremen Objekte könnten helfen, Einsteins Gravitationstheorie weiter zu testen und vielleicht eines Tages mit der Quantenphysik zu verbinden.Eine Folge über die Herkunft von allem, über offene Fragen der Physik und über unsere tiefe Verbindung zum Universum wird zu einer gedanklichen Reise in den Maschinenraum des Kosmos – dorthin, wo Masse entsteht, Teilchen Form annehmen und aus Sternenstaub schließlich Leben wird.

Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Jason Lisle joins Todd for this episode of Wretched Radio. Segment 1 • Astronomy reveals God's design; astrology denies Him and is condemned in Scripture. • James Webb Telescope findings shock secularists—mature galaxies where none “should” exist. • Science confirms Scripture: the universe looks designed because it is. Segment 2 • Intelligent design without Christ still leaves you lost—salvation requires the gospel. • The universe's perfect balance exposes the myth of cosmic randomness. • Creation confirms Scripture and calls us to bold, Christ-centered apologetics. Segment 3 • Denying Adam's literal existence crumbles the foundation of sin, death, and redemption. • Genesis reads as real history—grammar, structure, and Jesus affirm it. • Evolutionary compromise leads to gospel confusion and theological collapse. Segment 4 • Old-earth views distort sin, death, and the atonement—Christ died physically because Adam's sin was physical. • Popular theories (Day-Age, Gap Theory) conflict with Scripture and science. • Literal Genesis was the historic church view—until secular science shaped theology. ___ Thanks for listening!

Un planeta fuera del Sistema Solar desconcierta a la ciencia por su forma, su atmósfera y su origen  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo A más de mil kilómetros por segundo, una estrella muerta gira como un faro en el espacio profundo. A su alrededor, muy cerca, hay un objeto que no debería existir. Tiene el tamaño de Júpiter, la forma de un limón aplastado y una atmósfera hecha casi por completo de carbono. No tiene agua. No tiene oxígeno. No tiene nitrógeno. Y nadie sabe cómo pudo formarse. El PSR J2322-2650b se ha convertido en uno de los mayores misterios recientes de la astronomía moderna. Tal vez no sea un planeta como creemos.  Vamos a explicar qué se ha descubierto y por qué tiene tan desconcertada a la comunidad científica. Este objeto se encuentra a unos dos mil años luz de la Tierra y orbita un púlsar. Un púlsar es el núcleo colapsado de una estrella que explotó como supernova. Tiene casi la masa del Sol, pero comprimida en un espacio similar al tamaño de una ciudad. Gira muy rápido y lanza radiación constantemente. El planeta gira alrededor de ese púlsar a una distancia de apenas un millón seiscientos mil kilómetros. Para ponerlo en contexto, la Tierra está a unos ciento cincuenta millones de kilómetros del Sol. Por esa cercanía extrema, un año en este planeta dura solo unas ocho horas. La gravedad del púlsar lo estira de forma brutal, tanto que su diámetro ecuatorial es casi un cuarenta por ciento mayor que su diámetro polar. Por eso los astrónomos lo describen como un planeta con forma de limón.  Este mundo fue observado con el James Webb Space Telescope, que permitió analizar su atmósfera con un nivel de detalle nunca visto en un sistema de este tipo.  Aquí empieza el verdadero problema. Cuando los científicos estudiaron la atmósfera de PSR J2322-2650b esperaban encontrar gases comunes, como vapor de agua, metano o dióxido de carbono. Pero lo que apareció fue algo totalmente distinto. La atmósfera está dominada por helio y por carbono molecular, formas simples de carbono que casi nunca aparecen solas en planetas.  El carbono suele unirse a otros elementos. Para que exista de esta forma, casi no puede haber oxígeno ni nitrógeno. Y eso es justo lo que ocurre aquí. Entre más de ciento cincuenta planetas estudiados con este nivel de detalle, ninguno muestra una composición similar. Las temperaturas tampoco ayudan a explicarlo. En el lado más frío del planeta se alcanzan unos seiscientos cincuenta grados Celsius. En el lado más caliente, más de dos mil grados Celsius.  Con esos valores, el carbono debería reaccionar con otros elementos. Pero no lo hace. Esto rompe las teorías actuales sobre cómo se forman los planetas y cómo evolucionan sus atmósferas. Los modelos conocidos no encajan. Ninguno.  Ante este rompecabezas, los científicos manejan varias ideas. Una posibilidad es que este objeto no sea un planeta en el sentido clásico. Podría ser el resto de una estrella que orbitaba el púlsar y que fue perdiendo masa durante millones de años, como ocurre en los sistemas llamados “viuda negra”. En esos sistemas, el púlsar va despojando poco a poco a su compañero hasta casi hacerlo desaparecer.  Otra idea es que estemos viendo un tipo de objeto totalmente nuevo, algo que aún no tiene nombre. Un cuerpo que logró mantenerse estable alrededor de un púlsar durante miles de millones de años, resistiendo una radiación extrema y fuerzas gravitatorias enormes. En ese caso, la ciencia tendría que ampliar su definición de lo que puede existir en el universo.  Los datos del Webb sugieren que en su atmósfera pueden formarse nubes de hollín hechas de carbono. Con el tiempo, ese carbono podría cristalizar en el interior del planeta y formar diamantes. Un mundo rojo, cubierto de polvo oscuro, con tormentas que siguen su forma alargada. Un lugar que parece ciencia ficción, pero es real.  Por ahora, los investigadores van a buscar más sistemas similares. Solo así podrán saber si este planeta es una rareza absoluta o el primer ejemplo de una familia desconocida de mundos extremos.  Este hallazgo fue posible porque el sistema tiene una ventaja poco común. El púlsar emite sobre todo radiación de alta energía, como rayos gamma, que el Webb no detecta. Eso permite observar la luz del planeta sin que la estrella lo opaque, algo que no suele ocurrir con estrellas normales.  Además, este es el único planeta conocido con masa, tamaño y temperatura similares a un Júpiter caliente que orbita un púlsar. De los más de seis mil exoplanetas registrados hasta ahora, solo unos pocos están asociados a púlsares, y ninguno se parece a este.  El estudio fue publicado en The Astrophysical Journal Letters y ha sido destacado por la NASA y por medios como The New York Times. Todos coinciden en lo mismo: este objeto no encaja en ninguna caja conocida.Lejos de ser frustrante, este tipo de descubrimientos son los que empujan a la ciencia a avanzar. Cada vez que aparece algo así, las teorías se ajustan, se amplían o se descartan. Y eso nos acerca un poco más a entender cómo funciona realmente el universo.  Un planeta con forma de limón, una atmósfera de carbono y un origen desconocido acaba de poner en jaque a la astronomía. Vamos a seguir atentos a este misterio cósmico. Cuéntanos qué opinas y acompáñanos en Flash Diario  

The United States has released dramatic footage of its forces seizing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, ten days after taking control of another ship in similar circumstances. Washington says the tankers' oil is funding narco-terrorism, while Caracas accuses the United States of theft and kidnapping. Also: with just one Israeli hostage's remains still held by Hamas in Gaza, Israel's Hostages Family Forum begins winding down its operations. The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has ordered a review into the police and intelligence services after the mass shooting at Bondi Beach last week. President Volodymyr Zelensky says he would support direct talks between Ukrainian and Russian teams if it unlocked prisoner swaps or paved the way for negotiations between him and Vladimir Putin. A German engineer becomes the first wheelchair user to travel to space on a Blue Origin rocket. And astronomers marvel at an unusual lemon-shaped exoplanet the size of Jupiter spotted with the James Webb Space Telescope.

Episode 336 In an unlikely turn of events, orcas and dolphins have been observed teaming up - to hunt and kill massive chinook salmon in the pacific. Given that orcas sometimes prey on dolphins, what's going on? Despite the promising signs of cooperation between these two species, there may be something less heartwarming at play. We dig into the findings and discuss other surprising ways animals cooperate with each other. From schizophrenia to bipolar disease, autism to OCD, many mental conditions are classified into different categories. But in the largest study of its kind, it's been discovered that 14 different disorders fall into just five genetic groups. The finding could explain why people are often diagnosed with multiple psychiatric conditions at once - and bring comfort to those who are. Could it also help us find better treatments? Exploding stars might be to thank for our very existence. It's thought that supernovae may spew out the heavy elements required for the creation of planets and the emergence of life. A new model shows this is possible - and may help us figure out where to look next for alien life. Could this open up a new field of cosmic ecology? Plus, news of a strange new kind of star from the James Webb Telescope. Black hole stars may explain a running mystery about odd galaxies spotted by the telescope, called little red dots.  Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Alec Luhn, Michael Le Page and Alex Wilkins.

Of the seven Earth-sized worlds orbiting the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, one planet in particular has attracted the attention of scientists. This planet orbits the star within the "Goldilocks zone" - a distance where water on its surface is theoretically possible, but only if the planet has an atmosphere. And where there is water, there might be life. TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized, habitable-zone exoplanet Two recently scientific papers detail initial observations of the TRAPPIST-1 system obtained by a research group using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. In these publications, the authors, including Sukrit Ranjan with the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, present a careful analysis of the results so far and offer several potential scenarios for what the planet's atmosphere and surface may be like. While these reports are intriguing and show progress toward characterizing the nearest potentially earth-like exoplanet, Ranjan urges caution in a third paper, arguing that more rigorous studies are needed to determine whether TRAPPIST-1e has an atmosphere at all and whether preliminary hints of methane detected by James Webb are indeed signs of an atmosphere or have their origin with its host star. The TRAPPIST system, so named after the survey that discovered it - "Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope project" - is located about 39 light-years from Earth. It resembles a miniature version of our solar system. The star and all its planets would comfortably fit inside the orbit of planet Mercury. A "year" for any given TRAPPIST planet lasts mere days by Earth standards. "The basic thesis for TRAPPIST-1e is this: If it has an atmosphere, it's habitable," said Ranjan, who is an assistant professor at LPL. "But right now, the first-order question must be, 'Does an atmosphere even exist?'" To answer this question, researchers aimed the space telescope's powerful Near-Infrared Spectrograph, or NIRSpec, instrument at the TRAPPIST system as planet TRAPPIST-1e transited - or passed in front of - its host star. During a transit, starlight filters through the planet's atmosphere - if there is one - and is partially absorbed, allowing astronomers to deduce what chemicals it may contain. With each additional transit, the atmospheric contents become clearer as more data is collected. The four transits of TRAPPIST-1e studied by the team revealed hints of methane. However, because TRAPPIST-1e's star is a so-called M dwarf, about one tenth the size of our sun and only slightly larger than Jupiter, its unique properties call for extra caution when interpreting data, Ranjan said. "While the sun is a bright, yellow dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1 is an ultracool red dwarf, meaning it is significantly smaller, cooler and dimmer than our sun," he explained. "Cool enough, in fact, to allow for gas molecules in its atmosphere. We reported hints of methane, but the question is, 'is the methane attributable to molecules in the atmosphere of the planet or in the host star?'" To rule on this question, Ranjan and colleagues simulated scenarios in which TRAPPIST-1e might have a methane-rich atmosphere and evaluated the probability for each of them. In the most likely scenario among the ones tested, the planet resembled Saturn's methane-rich moon, Titan. However, the work showed that even that scenario was very unlikely. "Based on our most recent work, we suggest that the previously reported tentative hint of an atmosphere is more likely to be 'noise' from the host star," Ranjan said. "However, this does not mean that TRAPPIST-1e does not have an atmosphere - we just need more data." Ranjan pointed out that while James Webb is revolutionizing exoplanet science, the telescope was not originally designed to study small, Earth-like exoplanets. "It was designed long before we knew such worlds existed, and we are fortunate that it can study them at all," he said. "There is only a handful of E...

Bizarre News - November 2025 | Paranormal Podcast In this month's Bizarre News, we bring you a collection of cutting-edge scientific discoveries and paranormal mysteries that blur the line between science fiction and reality. We kick things off with the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, which has sparked intense debate in the scientific community after Harvard physicist Dr. Avi Loeb identified twelve significant anomalies suggesting it might not be a comet at all—but potentially a nuclear-powered alien spacecraft. With NASA pointing fifteen different space missions at this object, including the James Webb Space Telescope, we explore the strange characteristics that have scientists puzzled: unexplained frontal glow instead of a traditional tail, industrial alloy-like composition, and a retrograde trajectory with only a 0.2% probability of occurring naturally. We also dive into groundbreaking warp drive research that suggests faster-than-light travel may actually be theoretically possible, and surprising findings that humans possess "remote touch" abilities previously thought to exist only in animals like sandpipers, allowing us to sense buried objects without direct contact. On the paranormal side, we investigate which state claims the title of most haunted in America—and the answer might surprise you. Using data compiled from over 1.8 million ghost encounter records across social media platforms, books, and paranormal databases, researchers determined that New York takes the crown with its perfect storm of old stone buildings, high population density, and centuries of accumulated energy. We also share a compelling Bigfoot sighting from Pennsylvania's I-80, where a witness observed a tall, dark figure with a slender build gliding effortlessly across four lanes of highway and over a guardrail in a matter of seconds, leaving them with an unforgettable encounter story they'll be sharing for years to come.

Can an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy have a supermassive black hole at its center? Are there galaxies with supermassive black holes that are offset from their galactic centers? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome “the other” Dr. Matt Taylor, an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Calgary, who joins us from the control room of the largest astronomical telescope in Canada, at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory (RAO) in Alberta, Canada. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, which starts with the discovery of a supermassive black hole in the middle of an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy M60-UCD1 located in the Virgo galaxy cluster. That led to the discovery of more 4 UCDs in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster and 1 in the Fornax galaxy clusters, but then the limits of technology prevented the discovery of any additional UCDs. But now, by using the James Webb Space Telescope, Matt and his fellow researchers (including Dr. Vivienne Baldassare, our former guest for Black Holes and Space Junk with Vivienne Baldassare) have just published a paper about their discovery that in the smallest, lowest mass UCD yet found, they found a roughly 2,000,000 solar mass black hole. Basically, that's a tiny galaxy to hold a supermassive black hole, and Matt is sure there are many more of these waiting to be discovered. After that Matt tells us about his atypical journey to astronomy, including his first career – as a professional chef. When cooking stopped being fun, Matt enrolled at a local community college and “moved from gastronomy to astronomy” as Allen puts it. Our first audience question comes from our Patreon Patron Taylor L, who asks, “Is it possible dark energy and the acceleration of the universe's expansion could be explained by the idea that the black hole we live in is constantly devouring matter from outside?” Matt passes on determining whether or not we live inside a black hole. But, he explains that while at the galactic level expansion is happening on a really large scale, at a smaller scale like our local group of galaxies (Milky Way, Andromeda, and local dwarf galaxies), our mutual gravitation counteracts that expansion. Matt goes on to discuss how accretion disks are what makes it possible to “see” a black hole, but that ultra-compact dwarf galaxies don't have gas and dust forming accretion disks. Instead, they use stellar velocities to find black holes in UCDs. Next up, Matt tells us about some of the research he's doing into archetypal compact elliptical (cE) galaxies, which have the mass of a giant galaxy put into the volume of a dwarf galaxy, and how black holes appear in these systems. And Matt dangles another upcoming paper about galaxies with supermassive black holes that are offset from their galactic centers. For our next audience question, Pshemo asks: “We often say gravity is weak compared to other forces. But in the right regimes, like near black holes and neutron stars, or on large cosmic scales, it dominates every other interaction. Should we stop calling gravity a weak force?” It's a thought-provoking question with an even better answer, so please watch or listen to the episode to hear it yourself from Matt. If you'd like to know more about Matt, you can check out his website, mataylor5128.github.io. (The 5128 comes from the famous and very cool galaxy NGC 5128, aka Centauras A) We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Virgo and Fornax galaxy clusters. – Credit: Creative Commons / Atlas of the Universe/ Richard Powell Southern portion of the Virgo Cluster as imaged by the Vera C.

Dr. Haojing Yan, professor of physics and astronomy at Mizzou's College of Arts and Science, talks about his research with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope on this edition of Brad's Bites.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Segment 1 • Dr. Jason Lisle distinguishes astrology's superstition from astronomy's worship-worthy science. • The James Webb Telescope's discoveries confirm creationist predictions. • The universe shouts intelligent design and divine order—not cosmic accident. Segment 2 • “Intelligent Design” without Christ stops short of truth; science points to the Savior. • Every Big Bang “fix” (inflation, antimatter, etc.) exposes faith in speculation over observation. • Scripture alone makes sense of the cosmos—science confirms it; sin corrupts it. Segment 3 • Denying a literal Adam dismantles the gospel: no actual fall means no need for a Redeemer. • Genesis reads as history, not myth; Jesus and the apostles affirmed it as fact. • The cross makes no sense if sin didn't enter through one real man. Segment 4 • Old-earth models (Day-Age, Gap Theory) break Hebrew grammar and biblical chronology. • Death before sin contradicts God's “very good” creation and the atonement itself. • The timeline debate isn't about science—it's about trusting God's Word over man's ideas. ___ Thanks for listening!

Astrophysicists may have spotted evidence for “dark stars,” an unusual type of star that could possibly have existed in the earliest days of the universe, in data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead of being powered by nuclear fusion as current stars are, the controversial theory says that these ancient dark stars would have formed by mixing a huge cloud of hydrogen and helium with a type of self-annihilating dark matter. Dark stars would not have been dark—researchers believe that if they existed, they would actually have been bigger and brighter than current stars.Astrophysicists Katherine Freese, who first proposed the idea of dark stars in 2007, and Cosmin Ilie, who detected the possible signs of the dark stars, join Host Ira Flatow to discuss the theory.  Guests:Dr. Katherine Freese is a theoretical astrophysicist and a professor of physics at the University of Texas at Austin.Dr. Cosmin Ilie is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Colgate University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
