Copenhagen Suborbitals

October 16, 2025 • 29 mins
When something is possible and not too difficult to achieve, We are used to say “This is not rocket science” but today's podcast is literally about rocket science - and, in a way maybe the most difficult approach to sending people into orbit we can think of. Copenhagen Suborbitals is the world’s first and only amateur spaceflight program. The Copenhagen Suborbitals is located in Denmark with supporters from across the world. From 2...

[Best of] Circadian rythms

October 9, 2025 • 23 mins
All organisms from fruit flies to humans share the same mechanism for controlling the day and night rhythms also called the circadian rhythms. This mechanism is considered fundamental to all advanced life forms, and it has a surprising feature. It binds us genetically to live on earth. Michael Rosbash received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2017 for the discovery of the circadian rhythms together with Jeffrey Hall and Michael Youn...

The Einstein Telescope

September 18, 2025 • 38 mins
We are used to telescopes as instruments on Earth looking out on space or instruments in space looking at even more distant objects in outer space. The Einstein Telescope is very different and will be build deep under the surface of the Earth. Over 2,000 researchers participate in the international organisation and there is a competition between different countries about where to build it. One of the researchers who are involve...

[Best of] Exoplanetary life conference

September 13, 2025 • 25 mins
Center for Exolife Sciences at the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen organised a conference under the theme "Are we a unique species on a unique planet or are we just the ordinary standard?" We may already have detected traces of life in the atmosphere of the distant planet called K2 18b. During four days in Copenhagen 100 researchers were discussing how we interpret signs of life outside our planet. In this podcast...

Mars research is finding new knowledge

September 5, 2025 • 27 mins
Though we may not hear so much in the media about Mars these days, there is still a lot of really interesting research on the red planet. The two Mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance are more than living up to their mission expectation but there are 7 other missions making new discoveries every day and a handful of new missions are on their way. Science Journalist Jens Degett is interviewing PhD Fellow Katrine Wulff Nicolaisen...

Particle research at high speeds

August 30, 2025 • 23 mins
During the summer particle research at CERN has been speeding up. After the Higgs particle was discovered and analyzed more particles at higher energies are needed to reach new levels of understanding of the universe. The top Quarks and the Di-Higgs particle are examples. Science Journalist Jens Degett is interviewing Associate Professor Troels Christian Petersen from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen on how success in smashin...

Make your own satellite

August 24, 2025 • 30 mins
It is more than a quarter Century since Denmark took its first steps into space age with the first satellite called Ørsted with the purpose of measuring the magnetic fields around the Earth. The mission was a great success in many ways and paved the way for several research groups working with different astrophysical problems. But it was also the beginning of satellite production in Denmark and that is the theme of the podcast tod...

Magnetic fields

August 15, 2025 • 36 mins
If you look at flight maps you can see small stipulated lines with magnetic field direction - on the map. I was told that these lines were moving over time, so as a pilot I had to buy new maps once in a while. The magnetic lines are not static they are moving. This means that the magnetic north is moving too and in fact there has been a movement of the magnetic North of more than 40 km/year, moving north from Alaska to Siberia. ...

3iATLAS

August 9, 2025 • 41 mins
3iATLAS is the third interstellar object or "Interloper" that has been observed in our solar system. The first object of this kind was Oumuamua which was discovered on its way out of our solarsystem in 2017. This time we are more lucky as the interstellar object 3iATLAS has been observed early in its path through our solar system in the beginning of july. 3iATLAS is a rare guest and will disappear out of our solar system in a...

[Best of] Superstrings and string theory

July 25, 2025 • 45 mins
Superstrings was a very popular topic among physicists in the 1980ies. They had a renaissance in 1995 but then the researchers changed focus to other things. Now superstrings have gained new momentum in physics again. Professor Niels Obers from the Niels Bohr Institute explains what superstrings and string theory is. He also explains why superstrings are popular among researchers again. Science journalists Jens Degett is interviewi...

[Best of] Gravitational waves

July 18, 2025 • 50 mins
Gravitational waves is a strange phenomena which was predicted already by Albert Einstein. To understand gravitational waves you need to understand gravitation. In this podcast professor Niels Obers describe gravitation in Newtonian terms and in the frame of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Both descriptions are incomplete but due to research with gravitational waves we may reach to a better understanding of these phenomen...

[Best of] The Anthropic principle

July 5, 2025 • 48 mins
When someone begins to study the evolution of the universe and the laws of physics, one easily comes to wonder how strange it is that humans and life exist, and we are able to observe the universe. If the laws and constants of nature were just a little bit different, the occurrence of life is unthinkable. However, we can state that we are here, and this raises a number of other issues, such as: Has the universe always been able to ...

[Best of] Conformal cyclic cosmology explained

June 20, 2025 • 55 mins
We are used to think about the universe as a structure which started with a Big Bang and then expanded. Sir Roger Penrose, who received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, has developed an alternative theory of the universe based on Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity which is called "Conformal Cyclic Cosmology". In this new model we don’t have one single Big Bang, but an iteration of infinite cycles (or aeons) of expansion and co...
