Turns out your gut isn’t just for digesting tacos—it’s running half your body’s operations like a microscopic mafia. In this episode of AI Investigates, we dive deep (and we mean deep) into the world of gut microbes, those trillions of tiny freeloaders living rent-free in your intestines. They regulate your immune system, influence your mood, and might even decide whether kale helps or hurts you. We also talk poop transplants—yes, that's a thing—and why your microbiome throws a tantrum every time you eat nothing but beige food. It's health, science, and a whole lot of fiber. Bring snacks (preferably fermented).

Forget aliens—humans have been stacking rocks like pros for thousands of years. In this episode of AI Investigates, we dig into why so many ancient civilizations—from Egypt to Mesoamerica—built pyramids without ever texting each other about it. Was it religion? Engineering? A cosmic aesthetic choice? We explore how stone, clay, and a little architectural trial-and-error led to one of the most iconic shapes in human history. Smaller, steeper, flatter, or temple-topped—these pyramids had purpose, and they weren’t built with blueprints from Area 51.

Lasers. Nukes. Debris traveling at 17,000 mph. Welcome to the future of war—where your enemies are silent, your orbit is cluttered, and one wrong move can turn a billion-dollar satellite into cosmic confetti. In this episode of AI Investigates, we dive headfirst into the physics and fiction of space combat. From Reddit debates to real-world defense papers, we unpack how plausible it really is to fight above the stratosphere, why nukes in orbit are a terrible idea, and how stealth works (or doesn’t) in the vacuum of space. If you've ever wondered what Star Wars might look like without the sound effects—this one's for you.

Do we truly know everything about past civilizations and their technology? What are scientist learning about today that are shaping what we know about technology from the past?

Today we'll explore the phenomenon of foxfire, which is the bioluminescence produced by certain fungi, primarily in decaying wood.

News reports indicate that something may have impacted Saturn. Let's dive into this breaking news report.

Have you ever wondered if someone was just born a good/bad person? How do genetics and envirornment play a role in who we turn out to be?

We all have that friend that always tans and never seems to burn. Flip side is we also have that friend that burns by just looking at the sun. Why do some of us tan while others always burn? Let's dive in and see what the science has to say.

Ever wonder how we came to learn how to swim? Who was that first person? How far have we evolved since that first swimmer?

It's not the heat, it's the humidity? Is that true or just an old wives tail. Let's dive in and find out together.
