🔬 Earth Is Drifting Through a Dead Star's Remains — Plus 10 More Science Stories You Need to Hear

Episode 357 Published 5 hours ago
Description
Antarctic ice cores have revealed that Earth is currently passing through the radioactive debris of an ancient supernova, and that's just the beginning of this episode. Scientists are also proposing a radical new way to detect alien life that has nothing to do with specific molecules — and it could change the search forever. A decades-old assumption about childhood obesity is being challenged, a 60-year mystery about how your body burns fat has finally been cracked, and a newly discovered 27-tonne dinosaur in Southeast Asia may have been the last of its kind. Peer Review'd breaks it all down so the science actually makes sense.
