PBS Spacetime
Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth with our astrophysicist host: Matthew O’Dowd.
What is the Higgs field and why is it a fundamental part of our universe?
In this course, we'll explore how Black Holes form and grow, and even how we might make our own, as well as exploring Hawking Radiation, the possible holographic nature of our universe, and what we know about the Event Horizon.
In this course, we'll explore the development of quantum theory, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, virtual particles, pilot wave theory, and the quantum multiverse.
Is our universe a definitive single reality or is it merely one within an infinitely branching multiverse?
Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know
Follow scientists on their quest to understand and capture the first image of a black hole while exploring the limits of our knowledge of the universe.
Janna Levin, PhD
Theoretical cosmologist and a professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College
Her work deals with looking for evidence to support the proposal that our universe might be finite in size due to its having a nontrivial topology
Other work includes black holes and chaos theory
