Shedding Light on Energy: Episode 2—Measuring Energy 35 min.

In this program, we introduce the “joule”, the unit for energy. We then look at how much energy is stored in different foods by comparing apples and oranges (normally a no-no) and we discuss how much energy we need to do certain things including nothing much at all. We then explore the concept of energy balance and reveal the two simple rules for weight loss. That’s right, there are only two!

Shedding Light on Energy: Episode 3—Energy Efficiency 31 min.

In this program, we introduce students to the concept of efficiency, which is a measure of how much useful energy you get out of something compared to the amount of energy that you put into it. We answer a bunch of questions including: How much light energy do we get out of light globes compared to the amount of electrical energy that goes into them? Hint: it’s not much; they should be called heat...

Should We Go to Mars? The Big Think 53 min.

The year 2019 will be the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing. It was the greatest technological achievement of the 20th century. Since then, NASA’s goal has been to send an astronaut to Mars. But it’s proving far harder than anyone imagined. Some experts believe that human space travel and exploration is critical. But Mars is approximately 140 million miles away, and the effort to land a h...

Sound Waves: The Symphony of Physics 100 min.

This engrossing series takes a spectacular journey into the world of sound—and reveals what the physics of sound can tell us about the world and how it works. Scientist Helen Czerski uncovers the miasma of mathematical waveforms that combine to create each sound. She explores the secrets that sound can unlock, from the structure of the universe to the way that animals communicate over thousands of...

Space Volcanoes 51 min.

Volcanoes are one of the most incredible natural phenomena on Earth. But under the extreme conditions of our neighboring planets, these imposing giants take on strange and gargantuan forms, creating dramatic vistas like nothing we’ve seen before. With the help of state-of-the-art CGI and the latest scientific imagery, take a tour of breathtaking beauty. Travel to Mars to visit a volcano nearly thr...

Strange Signals from Space 53 min.

For centuries we’ve looked up at the night sky and wondered: are we alone? We’ve sent messages out into the depths of space, but we’ve never heard anything back—until now. In the last few years, a mysterious signal has shaken astronomy to its core. This is the story of a scientific mystery: pulses from space that defy explanation. Horizon explores humankind’s quest to find other life in the univer...
