Dr. Weiping Yu joins us with a brand new segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on the claim that a new Hubble data has explained missing dark matter. Is this claim true? Join Dr. Yu as he provides some interesting explanations on the concept of matter, plus analysis of stories such as the […]
Dr. Weiping Yu is back with another mythbusting segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on some of the latest news in the world of science–news such as the development of a spherical tokamak reactor. Can this experimental nuclear reactor move fusion forward? “We’re heading in the wrong direction,” Dr. Yu says, “this kind […]
In this classic Science and U segment from January 9, 2020, physicist Dr. Weiping Yu comments on the latest science news from around the world. The physicist reflects on the news of LIGO picking up on gravitational waves emitted during a celestial scuffle between two neutron stars. Plus, Dr. Yu also comments on pulsar’s surface […]
In this classic episode from February 27, 2020, theoretical physicist Brian Greene, author of ‘Until the End of Time,’ joins David Gornoski and Dr. Weiping Yu. David starts off the episode by briefly reflecting on the trial of Julian Assange. Is string theory the solution to better grasp the universe? Are we really designed for […]
Dr. Weiping Yu returns to the show for another refreshing segment of Science and U. According to a recent article, the Earth is pulsating every 26 seconds but scientists still cannot explain it. Is there an explanation for this? How can we rethink things like physics and technology without politicization and coercion? The future of […]
In this classic episode from May 23, 2019, David Gornoski and Dr. Weiping Yu are joined by theoretical physicist Abraham “Avi” Loeb. Dr. Yu and Dr. Avi Loeb comment on the first black hole image that was released last year. Do black holes exist? If black holes do exist, what exactly happens near the […]
David Gornoski, the host of A Neighbor’s Choice, sits down with Bob Greenyer, engineer and researcher in the field of LENR (low-energy nuclear reactions). The two discuss the work of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, the start of the Martin Fleischmann memorial project, the various experiments in the field of cold fusion and their fascinating […]
How did scientists manage to measure the total amount of matter in the universe? Dr. Weiping Yu returns for another segment of Science and U to answer this question. The physicist also comments on the news that NASA is planning to make nuclear fusion commercial and on the update of Michael Lisanti’s project to beat […]
Dr. Weiping Yu returns with Science and U to comment on new studies implying black holes from the Big Bang could be the Dark Matter. The physicist also comments on astronomers discovering “northern lights” surrounding Rosetta’s famous comet for the first time. Dr. Yu brings attention to the fact that electromagnetic emissions have been detected […]
“Mysterious gamma-ray ‘heartbeat’ detected from cosmic gas cloud.” This is the recent headline running on science news outlets. What could this mean? Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu calls in to offer his startling insights on this story as well as the validity of black hole reports, astronomers spotting a space rock turning into a comet, and […]
