Summary

It's time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly! 

This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about the first baby beavers born in Hampshire for 400 years.

Dan starts with the latest science news where we learn all about how radio waves caused by Elon Musk is stopping our ability to peer into the universe, why a national butterfly emergency has been announced by the Butterfly Conservation and Ewhurst Park's Mandy Lieu tells us all about the first beavers born in Hampshire for 400 years

Then we delve into your questions where Dan explains how why we close our eyes when we sneeze & Peter Martin from University College London answers why so many babies are born in the evening....or are they?

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the Polistes Carnifex or it's better known name The Executioner Wasp.

The Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Katy Clough from Queen Mary's University of London about why the Mathematical Sciences is the best kind of science?

What do we learn about?

  • How Elon Musk is stopping us from peering into the Universe
  • Why there's been a National Butterfly Emergency declared?
  • The first baby beavers born in Hampshire for 400 years
  • Why are most babies born in the evening?
  • Is Mathematical Sciences the best type of science?

All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!

All right Explorer, welcome along to the smartest show in the solar system and even beyond.

0:07.0

It's a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.

0:09.0

My name's Dad, This is the only place where you will find all those science secrets

0:18.3

that are lurking across the nebula. We'll go, we'll discover them, we'll bring you back in about half an hour.

0:24.4

This week you can hear whether there's any reason babies seem to be born at the same time.

0:32.1

It's an excellent question and actually many scientists have been wondering about this.

0:35.9

The times that babies born in England, for example, in many other countries today, the most frequent time is actually between 10 and 11 in the morning,

0:44.5

but there's a very specific reason for that.

0:48.4

Also our entrance into the Battle of the Sciences arena today is a smart science with a little bit of maths.

0:56.0

You might think of gravity as being if you drop a ball it falls to the ground,

1:01.0

but gravity is actually much more complicated than this, and it describes the

1:04.8

stretching and the squashing of space and time around stars and galaxies in our universe.

1:10.3

So it probably holds the key to understanding how our universe began.

1:14.3

And for our dangerous stand you can hear about a little creature with a big dose of pain.

1:20.8

Let's get to it. It's a brand new fun kids science weekly.

1:24.0

Let's start with your science in the news then.

1:31.0

Radio waves from Elon Musk's growing network of

1:35.3

satellites are blocking our ability to peer into the universe. That's according

1:40.0

to scientists in the Netherlands. The new generation of Starlink satellites, which provide

1:46.6

fast internet all around the world, they're interfering more with radio telescopes than earlier

1:51.6

versions, they say.

1:53.0

So it's doing good that it's getting a lot of internet across the world
