The search for the mysterious planet nine continues as Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin get closer to finding it. What would planet 9 be like and where in the solar system could it be? Also, what would alien life look like? Humanoid or something we couldn't even imagine. John Michael Godier discusses planet 9 and the fermi paradox with Parallax Nick. Parallax Nick, is a science presenter and...

Humanly traversable wormholes is a new paper by Juan Maldacena and Alexey Milekhin that points out that there can be humanly traversable wormhole solutions in some previously considered theories for physics beyond the Standard Model, namely the Randall-Sundrum model. But what happens when you go through a humanly traversable wormhole? Is there Time dilation, do you travel faster than light, and ar...

How to Die in Space: A Journey Through Dangerous Astrophysical Phenomena by Paul M. Sutter is a book that delves deep into the many unsettling aspects to space and our universe. Paul Sutter's Links:How to...

Time travel is one of sci-fi’s favorite tools. But is it possible to build a real time machine? Could you travel into the future or the past? Paul Davies joins John Michael Godlier to discuss the possibilities of time travel and how it would work within Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Paul Davies is a theoretical physicist and regents professor at the department of physics at Arizona Stat...

Alberto Caballero of the exoplanets channel joins John Michael Godier on Event Horizon to discuss his concept for a new interstellar spaceship called solar one. Solar one would be the first crewed interstellar spaceship a...

Magneto-Inductive Communications for Ocean Worlds, is a new concept from Dr. Robert Romanofsky of NASA. A mission to the under-ice ocean of Europa is one of the highest priority missions for NASA. Dr. Romanofsky's concept is for a probe to melt through the 5 to 10 km thickness of briny ice to reach the buried ocean below. The challenge of communicating back to the surface of Europa is also dir...

Is There Life on Venus? Last week a team from MIT and Cardiff University announced the detection of Phosphine in the atmosphere at Venus our nearest neighbor. Phosphine (PH3) gas in Venus’s atmosphere should be in oxidized forms. Dr. Janusz Petkowski from the MIT team lead by Sara Seager, joins John Michael Godier on Event Horizon to discuss this finding in detail. Thank you to our many Patreons w...

An ultra-long-wavelength radio telescope on the far-side of the Moon has tremendous advantages compared to Earth-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes, particularly a Lunar Crater telescope can observe the universe at wavelengths greater than 10m (i.e., frequencies below 30MHz), which are reflected by the Earth’s ionosphere and are hitherto largely unexplored by humans. John Michael Godier speaks wi...

The Giant Magellan Telescope will be a member of the next generation of extremely large ground-based telescopes that promises to revolutionize our view and understanding of the universe. It will be constructed in the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Commissioning of the telescope is scheduled to begin in 2029.The GMT has a unique design that offers several advantages. It is a segmented mirror te...

Sara Seager is the Professor of Planetary Science, Professor of Physics, and Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her past research is credited with laying the foundation for the field of exoplanet atmospheres, while her current research focuses on exoplanet atmospheres and the future search for signs of life by way of atmospheric biosignature gas...

Is There a Theory of Everything? Stephen Wolfram recently announced the Wolfram Physics project, a way to find the fundamental theory of physics. But what exactly is Wolfram physics? Is it a theory of everything? And how does it describe General Relativity and Einstein’s work? John Michael Godlier is joined by Stephen Wolfram and Jonathan Gorard to discuss the Wolfram physics project, and why it m...

Is life on Europa? Did Mars have life? Does Mars currently have life on it? NASA Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Green joins John Michael Godier to discuss NASA's plans for Mars 2020, the possibility of past and current life on Mars. As well as the fact that the solar system may be full of life as much of the moon's and Kuiper belt objects have large amounts of water on them. Does Europa have complex life...

Is the center of the galaxy full of Alien Civilizations? Will SETI find life at the center of the Milky Way? Dr. Claudio Maccone spoke with John Michael Godier about why life may be more prevalent at the center of the galaxy. Claudio also discusses the idea of the singularity and why machine and alien civilizations may be found at the center of the milky way. Dr. Claudio Maccone books (sponsored l...
