In space, no one can hear you scream. But just because sound can’t travel in the vacuum of space doesn’t mean that the planets and our Sun don’t make noise. What would they sound like if you could hear them? How are we able to capture these complex sounds? And how do these sounds change our understanding of the planets?

If we found out that Earth only had 10 years left before it was destroyed, we'd need to figure out a plan for humanity to survive. With a global population of 7.8 billion people, our survival plan would have to be colossal. How could we evacuate? What resources would we need to survive? And where would we go?

Under extreme circumstances, humans can pull together to overcome the odds. But when confined in a tight space, we may not be at our finest. So, how would you fare if you got trapped in a grocery store for life? What should you eat first? And what happens when the lights go out? Whether it's due to a nuclear disaster or a giant bug invasion, you and a small band of survivors have found yourselves in this grocery store, and it's not temporary. Every decision and resource, and each trip to the bathroom, can affect your lives in the long run.

For billions of years, the Sun's gravitational pull has kept Earth's orbit on a steady and reliable path. But this rogue star has other plans for our planet. This sudden shift in Earth's gravity would make our planet break away from orbiting the Sun. And now, for the first time in our planet's history, we would be drifting through space without any direction. How fast would Earth travel? Could we survive the extreme temperatures of space? And could the Earth fly through the asteroid belt?

The Moon is crucial for Earth's stable climate, affecting weather, ocean currents, and axial tilt. Without it, the Earth would experience extreme climate shifts. This episode explores the scenario of other planets, like Mars or Saturn, replacing our Moon. Discover how this change could alter Earth's orbit and which planet would be the safest or most catastrophic replacement.

Imagine if you could take in all of human history in the blink of an eye. From the first steps on the moon to emerging from primordial slime, Earth's timeline is vast. In that short span, we've witnessed significant events. Traveling through time could reveal the rise and fall of species existing long before us. What sights would await you if you traveled one billion years back? Was Earth ever a giant slushball? How far back to witness the first humans? Are we on the path to extinction? Would a wormhole or faster-than-light travel be necessary? Watch as history unfolds before you.
