Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe

The internet went crazy talking about phosphine on Venus! What does it mean?

Is there dark matter in black holes? Are gravitons and gravitational waves the same thing? Daniel and Jorge answer the most common listener questions!

Daniel and Jorge discuss the science of "The Doors of Eden", a multi-zooniverse novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Dark matter and dark energy are 95% of the energy in the Universe. But do we need them?

Electrons can hang out until the end of time. Physicists think that protons should eventually fall apart. But will they?

What happened in the first 200 microseconds of the Universe? What can you see within 200 light years from Earth?

Recent results from the XENON experiment could be the first hint of something groundbreaking... or it could be nothing.

The gargantuan black holes at the centers of galaxies seem impossibly large. How did they grow so large in the short history of our Universe?

Can physicists discover new particles by watching how muons wiggle in magnetic fields?

Scientists don't know what dark matter is, but they know if it's hot (or not!)

Hear the story of the multi-decade trans-Atlantic rivalry that led to the Higgs boson discovery.

Daniel and Jorge talk about phonons, magnons, excitons, anyons and explainons.
