Neil deGrasse Tyson explains in great detail how our universe came to be. And whether it has a center.
Neil deGrasse Tyson also explains what it would mean to be on the “edge” of the universe.
Brian Greene also chimes in on important concepts about the universe such as the ultimate speed limit which is the speed of light in a vacuum.
Michio Kaku then explains that a type 3 civilization using warp drives could travel to the “edge” of the universe.
Brian Cox also encapsulates our advancement in science for the last 500 years and what it means for humanity.

Hibernation is a state adopted by certain mammals as an adaptation to adverse winter conditions. Typical features of hibernation include greatly reduced metabolic activity and lowered body temperature.
As warm-blooded animals, primates (except lemurs) do not naturally hibernate or even experience torpor. But can we manipulate the body temperature of primates and make them fall into a hypometabolic state or even artificial hibernation?
A research team led by Dr. Wang Hong and Dr. Dai Ji from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently reported the first reliable hypothermia in nonhuman primates caused by activating a group of hypothalamic neurons.
With the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) mounted on the NASA and European Space Agency Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been observing the Sun’s corona since 1995 to track space weather that may have an impact on Earth. However, LASCO has an observational gap that prevents scientists from seeing the middle solar corona, where the solar wind is generated.
A team of scientists from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), NASA, and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has discovered web-like plasma structures in the Sun’s middle corona. The researchers describe their innovative new observation method, imaging the middle corona in ultraviolet (U.V.) wavelength.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of the solar wind’s origins and interactions with the rest of the solar system.
Trans-light speed vessels should give off gravitational waves.
This discovery confirmed a prediction made a century before by Einstein and his Theory of General Relativity and opened the door to a whole new field of astrophysical research.
A new video series highlights the hard work and passion of scientists and engineers who helped get this remarkable new satellite off the ground.
On December 16, 2022, the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission launched aboard a SpaceX
Commonly known as SpaceX, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is a private American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company that was founded by Elon Musk in 2002. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, the company designs, manufactures, and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft.
