In this week's episode: A new semiconductor, space-debris that could, AI could kill quantum computing, whether we could we get a runaway greenhouse effect on earth, and a new supercomputer will match human brain

Out of the many bad arguments against nuclear power, there are two good arguments: It's too expensive and the power plants take too long to build. But are they true? And if so, why is it that nuclear power is so slow and so costly?

Just exactly what does it mean that gravity is not a force? In this episode, I will revisit the question and explain why you are currently accelerating upwards, and how Einstein's equivalence principle works.

The quiz for this episode is here.

Everyone loves to talk about complex problems and complex systems, but no one has any idea what it means. I think that understanding complexity is THE biggest gap in science today. What do we even mean by complexity? What do we know about it? And what’s the problem with trying to explain it? That’s what we’ll talk about in this video.

In this week's science news, we have a new contender for a theory of quantum gravity, claim that a famous proof is wrong, bad climate news, the first transatlantic flight with sustainable aviation fuel, IBM's first quantum chip with more than 1000 qubits, the "Brick" in the Milky Way and what it might be, the rise of transgender identifications in the UK, and of course the telephone will ring.

Science and the law come in to conflict more often than you might think. In this episode I want to tell you about several cases that I have followed which have concerned me greatly. The issue here isn't the actual scientific evidence, it is rather the way that scientists pursue and discuss this evidence, usually in a straight-forward and frank manner that doesn't sit well with courts.
