Unexplained noises from the sky have been reported for centuries, and while most can be explained by human actions today, many remain a bit of a mystery. So let’s take a look at the mysterious phenomenon of skyquakes.
Quick note: Yes, this video had focus issues. There’s a setting on the camera that doesn’t jibe with the reflection on my glasses.
Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface. We are a water planet, it makes life possible. But where exactly it came from is still a bit of a mystery. Some new studies have shared some light on this question, and it may require us to think about water in a whole new way.
Mars is far away. So far, it takes light anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes to travel there. This means the way we communicate is going to be very, very different – and will have long-term effects we can’t really know right now.
We’ve heard a lot about electric cars lately, but what about electric airplanes? The air transportation industry is a huge contributor to greenhouse gasses. Could we electrify our air fleet as well?

The Big Bang has been the accepted theory about the beginning of the universe for so long, you might think we’ve worked out all the kinks in it. But there are several issues with the Big Bang Theory, which has caused some cosmologists to turn to alternative ideas.
The Ekpyrotic Universe, based on string theory, is one of those ideas. And it’s super weird.
