SciByte (2011)

We look at the results from Gravity Probe B and how they relate to Einstein’s predictions on mass, space, time and how they all interact with one another.

We spend some time looking at time, how we have measured it’s passage throughout history, philosophically, how it’s affected by gravity, and the very concept of time itself.

We take a look dark matter and dark energy, why some scientists still believe they exist, where the theories came from, and how they affect the universe.

We take a look at a few alternative fuel choices, what they come from, some interesting facts about them, and even some of the chemistry involved.

We look at anti-matter what it is, how they capture it, detect it and take a look at the CERN Large Hadron Collider where some of this research is going on. Plus we take a brief look at the AMS-02, Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, that was recently launched on the Shuttle, looking for cosmic rays.

We take a look at the science of BBQ, taking a with a delightfully scientific look at the science of fire and cooking. Plus, we apply our science filters to the great propane charcoal debate.

We take a look at Solar weather; what it is and how we view it. We also take a look at how all that solar weather affects us here on Earth.

We take a look at Large Hadron Collider, what it is, what it’s doing and how it’s doing it. Plus we take a peek at science behind the curtain of the Universe at some the smallest elements and more basic interactions that makes everything we know and see tick.

This week on SciByte we take a look at lightning, what it is, how it works, the facts about it and see if some lightning myths and rumors are indeed close enough for science. We also take a look at a few of the wilder things lightning can do.

We take a look at the periodic table, how to read it, what some of those crazy little numbers mean, and why it’s laid out the way it is.

This week’s Scibyte features a mini-episode in which we introduce a brand new format for the show. We will be occasionally hosting Q&A sessions, to answer some of YOUR burning questions about Science and the mysteries of the universe.

This week on SciByte we take a look at Near Earth Object, what qualifies as a NEO, what dangers they actually pose and some of the impacts that had already occurred on the Earth. Plus we take a quick look at at the DAWN spacecraft that is currently orbiting the asteroid Vesta and has plans to visit the asteroid Ceres as well.

This week on SciByte we throw science at a few Old Wives Tales … and see what sticks. Plus we take a look at the science that makes them true, false or somewhere in between.

This week on SciByte we take a quick look at the Hundred Year Starship Study, what it’s really been doing, and it’s possible implications for the future of space travel.

This week on SciByte we take a quick look at warp drive tech, a few things science says about it and some of the implications it might impose.

This week on SciByte we take a look at the weird, the wacky and the too strange to be true … except when science intervenes.

We take a look at the so called ‘Tatooine’ planet that hit the news recently, some updates on the supposedly faster than light neutrinos, new underwater invisibility cloak technology, maps, Mercury, Tsunami tech, and even take a peek at what’s up in the sky this week.

We take a look at water around distant stars, baby planets, the teenage brain, vaccines, satellites, and even take a peek at what’s up in the sky this week.

We take a look at the Space Station resupply mission, dinosaurs, Mars, Snake Oil, Asteroids, cryptography, and take another peek at what’s up in the sky this week.

We take a look at asteroid flyby’s, black hole data, new elements, Mars water, the brain, headaches, Mars500, health sensors in our cars and game systems, and take another peek at what’s up in the sky this week. SciByte will provide you with a treasure trove of small talk for your next cocktail party, the knowledge to show off to friends and family, and provide you the means, with the help of our trusty show notes, to further investigate the things that interest you the most.

We take a look at the Curiosity Rover launching this week, Europa’s water, bugs, Voyager, telescopes and as always take a peek back into history and up in the sky this week.

Find out the latest on Russia’s failed attempt to reach Mars, NASA’s new mission, and we’ll update you on the biggest stories of the month, including a few updates that could have huge impacts for physics! Too much out there is just plain distraction, why can’t we have our cake and eat it too? There are a lot of interesting things going on out there in science, but getting to the interesting bits without all the hype you get from major media outlets is a trick we at Jupiter Broadcasting are hoping to pull off. SciByte will provide you with a treasure trove of small talk for your next cocktail party, the knowledge to show off to friends and family, and provide you the means, with the help of our trusty show notes, to further investigate the things that interest you the most.

We take a look at new extra-solar planet discoveries, chimps, supernova, Alzheimer's, Mars, Cables, updates on New Horizons spacecraft and Voyager 1 and as always take a peek back into history and up in the sky this week.

We take a look at the breaking news on Higgs Bosons, materials tougher than diamonds, inserting objects in pictures become more realistic, Hubble research hits a milestone, dinosaurs, talking parrots, down-loadable knowledge, information on the unbelievable Lunar eclipse we just had, a quick spacecraft update and as always take a peek back into history and up in the sky this week.

We take a look at some of your feedback and questions concerning the sun, solar cells, and even Space Camp. We will also look at the news about some new extra-solar planets, black holes and as always take a peek back into history and up in the sky this week.
