"For most, it's the deadly centerpiece of the film Star Wars. But in truth, real death stars are in the final stage of life before they explode into supernovae and, occasionally, the biggest blast in the universe--the gamma ray burst (GRB). One death star, named WR104, lurks 8,000 light-years from Earth and some believe its GRB arrow is aimed directly at us. A death star galaxy named 3C321 is a terrifying vision of what could one day befall the Milky Way galaxy: a companion galaxy's black hole is hammering it with a constant blast of high-energy particles, wreaking havoc with its celestial bodies. Nearby, Death Stars Eta Carinae and Betelgeuse burn through their fuel supplies as they hurtle toward extinction--and possibly a violent ending that's too close for comfort." (44:47)

String Theory is a theory in particle physics that attempts to describe the reality of our Universe and bring together Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. As we attempt to better comprehend the nature of space/time, some leading physicists believe that String Theory gives us our best shot at grasping the true physical makeup of our Universe. Many think that the leading current scientist working on String Theory is Edward Witten, and it seems only time will tell the truth value of this amazing and complex theory. (08:41)

We're going to talk about non-literal uses of language today, which can be difficult and confusing. Figurative language says something that isn't true in order to EXPRESS something that is true. We're basically lying in order to tell the truth, which is super weird. But, it can be so powerful, once you get the hang of it.

About a couple of decades ago Winston Churchill’s name wasn’t considered as controversial in history as it is today. Posthumously voted by his countrymen as the greatest Briton, he was an iconic political leader credited for winning the second world war for the Allies. For many, he still represents the active proponent of British resolve in times of adversity.
But there's another side to Churchill's politics and career that should not be forgotten amid the endless parade of eulogies. Not everybody agrees that Winston Churchill was a hero, a freedom fighter, and a beacon of human resilience. His well-documented life is full of quotes and incidents that do far more than blemish his reputable image and uncovers a horrible, grotesque truth about his personality. (17:31)

Through its live shows, television broadcasts, and digital network, WWE entertains thousands of fans every week. Some people still view WWE as entertainment for people on the lower end of the intellectual spectrum. One reason for this is the misperception that those who watch the product think it is "real." Of course, many of the children who enjoy WWE programming may indeed think they are seeing actual conflicts being resolved through in-ring combat. The truth is that most adult fans realize it is all a big production. (02:38)

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SAINT THOMAS - The ApostleThe Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle on July 3 every year. He is best known in religious accounts as "Doubting Thomas" because of his initial unwillingness to believe the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Catholic faithful are familiar with the Biblical story of the apostle's later encounter with the Risen Christ, who asked him to place his finger at the mark of the nails on His pierced hands and side. St. Thomas then turned from his doubt and embraced the truth of the resurrection. (20:07)

200 Miles east of Seattle, Washington lies the Scablands, an unusual landscape full of intriguing layer deposits, gorges, and vast open land that looks as though it has ripples in it. For decades, scientists have wondered what as led to the unique formation of this area. Some believe it was glacial melting, and others believe it was river erosion, or a massive flood millions of years ago. To understand what the truth is behind the landscape, we take a look at the land through geology. (47:47)
