In the second episode, we examine how lights, switches, and other electrical devices are all connected either in "series" or in "parallel" with each other. How do they wire up the lights in your house so that in some rooms the light switch turns on only one light but in other rooms the light switch switches on two (or more) lights? And how is everything wired up so as to allow us to turn the lights on and off in different rooms independently of one another. Well, don't wait at the terminal, jump on board. Show Less

Of all the man-made satellites in Low Earth Orbit, 95% are space junk: rocket thrusters, derelict satellites, and most of all, tiny fragments of debris from collisions and explosions. All this debris poses a potential threat to the future of space travel if we don't find a way to clean it up before it's too late.
Kessler Syndrome, the threat of cascading orbital debris fallout, is an environmental crisis that's almost completely invisible to us, but which may carry dire consequences for our infrastructure and the future of spaceflight if left unchecked. Show Less

In this episode, we look at the 'joule', the unit for energy. We look at how much energy is stored in different foods by comparing apples and oranges (normally a no-no) and we discuss how much energy we need to do certain things including nothing much at all.
