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? This episode comes with a quiz which you can take 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. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

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. The quiz for this episode is here.

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. Please feel free to support Data Colada's legal defense here. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

Welcome everyone to this week’s science news. Today we’ll talk about the leading theories for why Sam Altman got fired from OpenAI, cosmic rays with HUGE energies, evidence of a an overdue supervolcano eruption near Italy, an exoplanet on which it rains sand, Microsoft’s first AI-chip, why spiral galaxies like the Milky Way are so rare, how climate engineering could save the Antarctic, cannibalistic stars, and of course the telephone will ring.

Estimates say that as many as 1 in 10 people who had COVID were still affected more than 3 months later. This health condition has become known as long COVID. In this video, we will be discussing what long COVID is, how long it lasts, how common it is, what you should do if you think you’re affected, and more. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.

Is science coming to an end? On the one hand, it seems like scientific progress has slowed to a crawl and no big breakthroughs are happening any more. On the other hand, we are left with many unsolved problems in science that I am pretty sure have a solution. In this episode, I explain why I think that we need to seriously consider the possibility that we live in the final phase of scientific discovery.

Today we’ll talk about why Mars glows green, an amazingly cool way to make magnets hover, a study which found that a supposed piece of alien tech isn’t alien tech, surprising absolutely no one, plans to use the entire moon as a gravitational wave detector, progress with D-wave’s quantum computer, why Saturn’s rings will temporarily become invisible, wires that learn, energy from indoor lights, and of course, the telephone will ring. The quiz for this episode is here.

Everyone is talking about Net Zero. But Net Zero what? What does this even mean? Is it a reasonable goal? How far are we on the way? And do we have any chance of reaching it? For this video, we have collected all facts and numbers that you need to join the discussion. This episode comes with a quiz which you can take here.
