PARALLEL UNIVERSES might be exploding all around you! Should we fear the ones where we are wearing a beard?
Our Christmas Special, inspired by the ARTHUR C. CLARKE short story "The Star," in which an ASTRONOMER ponders the source of the STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
How can you talk about CLIMATE CHANGE at the party without causing everyone to yawn? Learn how to SAVE THE PLANET while making friends and influencing people!
WTiF HUMANS ARE DESTROYING THEIR OWN PLANET? HOW did all the scientists of WORLD come to agree that THE END IS NIGH? And who can stop it?
This week the NASA telescope, Kepler, got arthritis and slipped into retirement. Wait until you hear all the classes clinking and whips cracking and bottles popping that went on in the REAL HISTORY of KEPLER's namesake... and his crowd of rowdy astronomers!
Our BRAIN SIGNALS slowed down so much that they couldn't keep up with our dancin' feet!
WTiF our entire solar system drifted TOO CLOSE (!!!) to a BLACK HOLE?
On Feb 22, 2017, astronomers announced four additional exoplanets around TRAPPIST-1. Inspired by the incredible BLIND ASTRONOMER, Kent Cullers, we ask... WTiF we could SMELL THE STARS?
We’re guest stars on the awesome YouTube channel, The NonSequitur Show! We team up, to learn REAL SCIENCE so we can flummox the crackpots, and bust up the FLAT EARTH club!

The heating up of our planet just won't stop! Will our nice chilly dome survive? WTiF!
What The IF we sped up CLIMATE CHANGE so we could see it happening before our eyes, and under our feet?
Scientists have discovered a snail that NEVER NEEDS TO EAT because it grows a humongous, self sustaining BACTERIAL FOOD FACTORY in it's gut. What the IF you could do that, too?
We shrunk the universe down to the size of a football field. We also shrunk your dorm room. And it's Friday night. Things are about to get downright WTiF! Put on your lampshade and let's party!
