The infrared James Webb telescope is 100 times more powerful than the Hubble telescope. It has 18 separate mirror segments made of ultra-lightweight beryllium.

This telescope launched into space on December 25th, 2021. The mission of the James Webb Telescope? To study the history of our Universe from the afterglow of the Big Bang to the formation of solar systems like our own.

This telescope could be the key to finding alien life. If aliens were discovered, what would you say to them?

Your brain can survive for several minutes after your heart stops. But what if your brain took a time-out and stopped working for five seconds? Would you be instantly brain-dead? What would happen to your other organs if you experienced this? And could your normal life functions resume when your brain begins working again?

Imagine traveling at the speed of an airplane, but on ground level, and in a giant tube. That’s the idea behind the Hyperloop, a network of incredibly fast moving pods that can carry passengers to destinations all over the world, reducing travel times from hours to minutes.

But how would that work? Would it be safe? And what would it be like to ride in one of them?

Brain size relates more to proportion than it does to intelligence. Your brain is smaller than a whale’s because your body is smaller. However, your brain is structured in a way that enables you to survive, and succeed.

But after all that, would you believe that humans only use 10% of their brains?
Let’s make it 100%.

A marshmallow meteorite hurtling straight toward Earth? How would this sweet space object begin its descent toward our planet? Would the rapid speed of 99.9% of the speed of light, which is 299,792 km/s (186, 282 mps), cause the marshmallow to disintegrate in mid-air?

What would happen if a marshmallow traveling at light speed actually made contact with Earth?

Jupiter.... Uranus.... Saturn... Earth? Sadly, Earth didn't make it onto the list of the Solar System's ringed planets. If it did, would it still be able to host life?

Having planetary rings visible in the sky would look way more spectacular than just one grey rock, right? Maybe. But if our planet got beautiful rings like these tomorrow, much of life on Earth might not survive the renovation process.

How bad would things get if you never took your contacts out? You can probably imagine the discomfort that would come from leaving them in for days, but what about weeks, or months, or even years? How much would you damage your vision? Could you lose your eyes? And why might it cause you to have diarrhea?

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

You've seen it in the movies. Contact with aliens often ends badly for humans. So why do we keep trying to get in touch with them? We don't even know if aliens really exist. But if aliens do exist, and if they're advanced enough to detect our existence, chances are they're doing one of two things. Either they're avoiding us, or they're on their way.But the most important question is, will they come in peace?

How would the world change if, all of a sudden, every biological man disappeared? Would the world become more peaceful? Why would you have to ration food? And why wouldn’t the loss of all the men on the planet keep women from reproducing? What is parthenogenesis? Would it come to societal collapse?
