THE IMPOSSIBLE SCIENCE: Invisible Tunnels & Parallel Universes 🌠🌀

Author: Fun Kids September 13, 2025 Duration: 29:53

It’s time for another mind-bending adventure on the Fun Kids Science Weekly!

In this episode, we answer YOUR questions, discover why laughter is contagious, and dive into the strange world of quantum tunnelling.

First up in Science in the News, unusual rocks discovered on Mars could be evidence that life once existed on the Red Planet, scientists have developed a superfood to keep honey bees buzzing, and Jeremy Lockwood from the Natural History Museum joins us to reveal a brand-new dinosaur discovered on the Isle of Wight.

Betsy wants to know how long it would take to walk to the Moon, and comedian and neuroscientist Dean Burnett explains why everything seems funnier when we’re surrounded by people who are laughing.

In Dangerous Dan, we uncover the terrifying power of fluoroantimonic acid — one of the most dangerous substances on Earth.

And in Battle of the Sciences, we explore quantum physics, discovering the bizarre phenomenon of quantum tunnelling, where particles slip through barriers that should be impossible, and learning how this strange science powers our modern world.

What do we learn about?
· The unusual Martian rocks that could show life once existed
· A superfood designed to protect honey bees
· A brand-new dinosaur discovered on the Isle of Wight
· Why laughter is contagious
· The terrifying fluoroantimonic acid
· And in Battle of the Sciences… the mystery of quantum tunnelling

All on this week’s episode of Science Weekly!
