The recent discovery of the new exoplanet Proxima D, has reopened the discussion of whether the proxima system is our best chance at reaching another Earth. How did we discover Proxima D? How do we know what the conditions are on planets so far away? Watch the episode to learn more.

    Can You Observe a Typical Universe?

The anthropic principle guarantees that you are NOT seeing the universe in most typical state. But used correctly, this highly controversial idea can be extremely powerful. So, how do you correctly use the anthropic principle? Hosted by Matt O'Dowd Written by Matt O'Dowd Graphics by Leonardo Scholzer & Adriano Leal Directed by: Andrew Kornhaber Executive Producers: Eric Brown & Andrew Kornhaber End Credits Music by J.R.S.

That means the fundamental constants and initial conditions of the universe must be just right to allow nice habitable planets to one day form. Let’s just call it the anthropic principle: we necessarily observe from an environment capable of producing observers; be that environment a planet within a universe or a universe within a multiverse.

    Are Room Temperature Superconductors UNACHIEVABLE?

    PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you. To support your local station, go to:http://to.pbs.org/DonateSPACE Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space Time Discord! https://www.patreon.com/pbsspacetime Superconductive materials seem miraculous. Their resistanceless flow of electricity has been exploited in some powerful ways—from super-strong magnets used in MRIs, particle accelerators and fusion plants. And then there’s, their bizarre ability to levitate in magnetic fields. But the broader use of superconductors is limited because they need to be cooled to extremely low temperatures to work. But what if we could produce superconductivity at room temperature? It would change the world.

    She Never Heard from the Dead Again | After Midnight

    She had never seen a ghost, received a message from the dead, or experienced anything that made her believe she had psychic abilities. Then one evening at a friend’s house, something changed. Images began appearing in her mind—an older man at a workbench, a garage, and a wristwatch she had no reason to know anything about. Only later did she learn that her friend’s father had died two years earlier and that his watch had been missing ever since. What followed seemed to suggest that the father had somehow reached through to someone who had never received a message like this before. And strangely, she never received another one again. #GhostStories #Paranormal #SpiritMessage #PsychicExperience #SignsFromBeyond #Afterlife #ParanormalEncounter #SpiritCommunication #MessagesFromTheDead Love real ghost stories?
