Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:10:22 -0000

This is Venus. Some say it's Earth's twin, but it's truly a hellish world. Our mission? Survive on it for 100 days. Surviving on Venus would be difficult. This inferno-beast of a planet packs lead-melting heat, acid clouds, and crushing pressure. Oh - and also... lightning. If you were tasked with surviving Venus for 100 days, how do you think you'd do it?

What If Every Asteroid Hit Earth at Once?

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 09:01:28 -0000

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid crashed into Earth, wiping out most life, including dinosaurs. If a rock of that size hit today, humans might face extinction.

Today, we examine the five deadliest asteroids to have hit Earth, either in the past or potentially in the future, and simulate what happens when they all strike simultaneously. Spoiler alert: Earth doesn't survive.

Key Moments:

02:10 The Barringer Asteroid
07:44 Asteroid YR4
12:43 Oumuamua
15:27 Chicxulub
19:37 Meteorite S2

What If You Shrunk Every Second?

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:01:59 -0000

Learn more about Gain Therapeutics here.

Gain Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company leading the discovery and development of next-generation allosteric therapies. Gain’s lead drug candidate, GT-02287, is currently being evaluated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease with or without a GBA1 mutation in a Phase 1b clinical trial. GT-02287 has further potential in Gaucher’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer’s disease. Gain has multiple undisclosed preclinical assets targeting lysosomal storage disorders, metabolic diseases, and solid tumors.

If suddenly, you started to shrink in size, how long would it take until you became as small as a particle of dust? Why would things look different to your eyes? And why should you stay away from these grabby things? Today, you'll be scaling down - by 1 cm every second. From human-sized, all the way to the size of a subatomic particle.

Episode Shorts: What Would Dying on Mars Be Like?

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:00:01 -0000

Mars is located just outside the Sun's habitable zone. It lacks water and a magnetosphere, resulting in a very thin atmosphere. Primarily composed of carbon dioxide, the Martian 'air' means you would need to wear a spacesuit at all times to survive the harsh conditions.

What Would Dying on Jupiter Be Like?

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 09:00:01 -0000

Being twice as massive as all the other planets in the Solar System combined, Jupiter has astronomical pressure. This planet is basically a gigantic ball of hydrogen and helium. It doesn't have a solid surface you could step on. You'd fall all the way through its atmosphere, although it wouldn't be that long of a fall for you.

If Earth Lost 1% of Oxygen Every Second

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 09:00:06 -0000

You wouldn’t notice at first, but every second, the air thins a bit more. After 30 seconds, you're gasping; engines fail, and hospitals go dark. By minute two, planes crash, oceans suffocate, and the sky turns deadly. If Earth started losing 1% of its oxygen every second, this is how quickly the world would end.

But how long would it take until we completely run out? Can anything survive in a zero-oxygen world? Is there hope for humans to someday repopulate the Earth?

Visit today’s sponsor here to start coaching with a $50 credit.

Which planet is more suitable for human habitation: Mars or Venus? While Mars might seem like the obvious choice, Venus presents a compelling case with its potentially better atmosphere and less severe gravity. On the flip side, Mars offers a more favorable surface and could potentially be terraformed. This episode explores five categories to determine which planet is truly better for human life.

If Earth Became All Water

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:00:20 -0000

Sea levels are rising at an alarming rate. Water rushes to cover streets, quickly swallowing entire cities. Earth is about to become a real-life waterworld. Can humans survive underwater? Or would this be the end of life as we know it?

Sure, our blue planet is already 70% ocean. But that 30% of land is the difference between life and death. If Earth suddenly became completely submerged, humanity's chances of survival would be slim.

What If We Nuked the Sun?

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 03:49:23 -0000

Humanity’s nuclear arsenal is capable of destroying all life on Earth. Over. And over. And over. Maybe it's time we dumped it far away. We might want to inhabit other planets in the future, so how about our closest star? How many nukes could we throw at the Sun? What would be the price tag for this mission? And could we accidentally destroy our only source of daylight?

What If We Destroyed a Black Hole?

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:00:06 -0000

Most people only water fast for 72 hours at most, but what if you did this for the rest of your life? You'd be fine, right? Haha, yeah. Not so much. What happens to your stomach without food? What damage will you do to your organs? And how many days can you last?

What If You Mated With Neanderthals?

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 23:00:01 -0000

About 50,000 years ago, we shared this planet with different hominids called the Neanderthals. Their species wasn't human, but they weren't far from it either. No longer walking among us, these early cousins of humans died out long ago. But not before they had a chance to, uh, get intimate with some of our ancestors. But if you were to mate with a Neanderthal today, what would your children look like? And how much money would you spend on a date?

What If 3I/ATLAS Collided with Earth?

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:34:37 -0000

This is a simulation of what would happen if an interstellar harbinger of doom smashed into Earth. That odd cigar-shaped asteroid is Oumuamua, the very first interstellar rock on record. 'Interstellar' means it came from outside the Solar System. The force of a collision with this rock would carve a crater the size of a city, vaporizing everything nearby. However, Oumuamua is not the worst interstellar rock.

What If Men Could Get Pregnant?

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 09:00:43 -0000

Mood swings, baby brain. Until now, potential pregnancy complications are something only those of us with uteruses experienced. But what if men could get pregnant too?

Men statistically work more in business, politics and lawmaking. If men got pregnant, abortions could become legal or more easily available in many places. Paid leave for pregnancies would probably be more commonplace.

If men could give birth, it could lead to more empathy when it comes to pregnancy, birth and parental leave. Biologically, it may be unlikely for men to carry pregnancies today, but in future anything could be possible.

What If the Oceans Were Made of Gasoline?

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 09:00:25 -0000

Picture this: it’s a scene from a disaster movie. The oceans are ablaze and burning out of control. Have you entered the ninth circle of hell?

Nope. We’re rebuilding the oceans. This time, they’re not saltwater oceans. These oceans are made of gasoline!

What would the environmental impact be? Why would gasoline oceans destroy international trade? And (the question we’ve all been asking) would it make gas prices cheaper?

It starts with one bite. Then, one hundred. Soon, one thousand. Now a swarm of one million bloodsucking mosquitoes descends on you. Why is your blood their favorite snack? What would happen to your body if they bit you again and again?

If you’ve ever been in tall grassy areas or near standing water, you’ve experienced the relentless buzzing and biting of mosquitoes. But you might not know that there are 3,500 species. And only a couple hundred drink human blood. Only females bite. That’s because they need a tasty blood meal before they can lay their eggs.

What If the Big Bang Wasn't the Beginning of the Universe?

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 09:00:20 -0000

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then bang. Our Universe emerged in an explosion of light and energy. Current theories say that it all began 13.7 billion years ago. Or did it? Let's shed some light on this. How fast is the Universe expanding? Will the Universe and everything in it ever die? And why could our Universe have existed before the Big Bang? What's a singularity?

What If You Fell Off the World's Tallest Building?

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 09:00:27 -0000

This is Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. This masterpiece in Dubai is twice the height of the U.S.'s Empire State Building and nearly three times the size of the Eiffel Tower. So, what if you took a tumble from the top? How could you slow your fall? Would anybody be able to catch you on the ground? Why does the G-force matter? What's terminal velocity?

What If America Were Split Apart?

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 09:00:27 -0000

The Big One. Those three words make locals along the West Coast of North America shudder with fear. This area is plagued by earthquakes. But at least they are ready, unlike the middle of the continent, which is woefully unprepared for the event that could physically rip the United States in half. What could cause this? What would the destruction look like? Would the U.S. become two separate countries? What are megathrust earthquakes? Will tectonic plates create even bigger fault lines?

Caviar. Whether you're a foodie or not, you likely have opinions on this delicacy. For some, the idea of eating fish eggs even once is unappealing. But what if you ate only caviar for a month? How much would it cost? Could it enhance your love life or perhaps break your heart? How does caviar benefit neurotransmitters, and can it actually prevent blood clots?

What If the Ice Age Never Happened?

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 09:05:23 -0000

Imagine Earth covered in thick sheets of ice and sea levels so low you could walk to a different continent. This is what our planet would look like during an ice age. There have been five of them in Earth’s history, and they have had a huge impact on our present world.

Now, try and imagine an Earth where these ice ages never existed in the first place. What ecosystems would change? Would humans have evolved? Why do ice ages happen? What are Milankovitch cycles? Would there be climate change? How different would the season cycles be?

What If the Oceans Lose Oxygen

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 09:00:00 -0000

Scientists predict that the oceans' oxygen levels could drop 3 to 4% by the year 2100. As that happens, oceans will undergo drastic losses of biodiversity, and entire ecosystems could be wiped out. Why is oxygen disappearing? Why are oceans losing oxygen? How could this affect us? Is there anything we can do to stop this?

Oceans losing 3-4% of their oxygen may not sound very threatening, but it's a big deal. These massive bodies of water cover most of Earth. We know that about 200 million years ago, oxygen was depleted in the oceans. This led to a massive extinction of species. With oxygen levels dropping in the oceans again, could we face the same loss of ocean life? And if you like to eat lobster, shrimp, or fish, will you have enough, or any, to eat in the future?

What Happens If You Swallow a Hornet?

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 09:00:20 -0000

It's a hot summer day. You're enjoying a picnic, and you take a swig of your drink. What's that in your mouth? It's a hornet. And you accidentally swallowed it. How painful is a hornet's sting? What happens if you're allergic to its venom? Could it lead to anaphylactic shock? And could the hornet sting you in your stomach? There are plenty of bugs and insects that can bite or sting us. And hornets might be one that you fear the most. How does acetylcholine determine how powerful the venom is?

What If a Blazar Entered Our Solar System?

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 09:00:33 -0000

This episode is sponsored by Morning Brew. Get up to speed on business, finance, and tech in just 5 minutes with their newsletter.

We've explored many disasters Earth could face: from asteroids and aliens, to the Sun's death. Yet the Universe is perilous, and a new threat emerges—a blazar. Typically found at the galaxy's center, blazars are black holes of immense mass. For context, the Milky Way's black hole is four million times the mass of the Sun, but pales in comparison to others.

This episode investigates the oldest blazar, visibility differences among blazars, the Doppler effect's role in detecting blazars, active galactic nuclei, and the impact of radiation and gamma rays on Earth. We also discuss the distance of Markarian 421 from our planet.

If Earth Were Sucked Into a Black Hole

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 13:01:32 -0000

Just 3,000 light-years from Earth is a black hole visible to the naked eye. Thankfully, we are a safe distance from this stellar black hole and many others like it. There are approximately 100 million of them out there in our galaxy that we know of. They are the remnants of supernovae, which occur when stars 10 to 20 times larger than our Sun collapse in on themselves.

Could a black hole devour us all one day? There are millions of them out there just waiting. And if we happened to make a black hole accidentally, well, you better fasten your seatbelts. Things are going to really suck! Quite literally.

What would we see if we got pulled into a black hole? Could Earth orbit the Sun and a black hole? Would we survive spaghettification? What would happen if we get past the event horizon?

What If Titans Were Real?

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 09:00:16 -0000

The Japanese manga and anime series "Attack On Titan" has captivated our imaginations and greatest fears. It involves terrifying humanoid giants with an insatiable appetite for humans. Beware of potential spoilers and nightmares to come.

If Titans were real and suddenly appeared around the world, could we survive, or would we all be breakfast? What is our greatest defense against Titans? What kind of technology could we use against them? And how could we take down a colossal Titan? How would this hypothetical scenario unfold?

What If COVID-19 Never Disappears?

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:00:38 -0000

Despite all of the masks, tests, and vaccinations, there is no guarantee that COVID-19 will ever disappear. Even if the virus doesn't go away, it might not be as bad as it seems. How could COVID-19 never go away? What would life be like if it didn't disappear? Could the virus mutate again? Will our bodies become immune over time? Do social distancing and remote work have a major role in lessening the spreading of the virus?

What If You Wore 100 Layers of Makeup?

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:00:40 -0000

Do you know what you’re putting on your skin? Makeup can highlight your best features, smooth out imperfections, and help you feel confident. And sometimes, you’re just too tired to wash it off before you go to bed. You could get away with this for one night without causing too much damage. But what if one night turns into two, then three, then four, and then 100 days go by, and you still haven’t taken your makeup off? What would you look like? Can makeup cause acne? Or cancer?

Exploring Energy Drink Addiction with Danielle Robertson Rath

Mon, 19 May 2025 06:01:36 -0000

If you’re ready to take action and prevent hair loss, go to www.keeps.com/whatif to receive your first month of treatment for free.

Do you drink energy drinks? Do you drink them every day? Do you drink multiple ones every day? Then you just might be addicted to energy drinks. But why is that so bad when everyone else is addicted to coffee? In a stressed-out world suffering from constant fatigue and low energy, many of us have to find ways to stay energized or just stay awake, but is that necessarily bad?

Join Peter and Richard as they welcome caffeine scientist, author, and speaker Danielle Robertson Rath, author of "Are You a Monster or A Rockstar?" and "How to Get Sh*t Done When You Feel Like Sh*t," as they discuss how to manage caffeine use healthily.

NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of "What IF Discussed" asked and tried to answer lots of questions on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity, and context on "A Third Way." - YouTube Channel

Evolution of the Sun Explained

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 15:00:28 -0000

In a couple of billion years, our Sun will become so violently hot that it could wipe out all life in the Milky Way. But as it gets stronger, it could also help us live on places like Pluto and Saturn's moons. How can the center of our Solar System be so giving yet destructive at the same time? In this episode, we explore the entire evolution of the Sun, from how it helped create life on Earth to how it might one day destroy us.

What If Earth's Plastic Suddenly Disappeared?

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 06:00:25 -0000

Out of all the plastic we use on Earth, only 10% is recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, incinerators, or our oceans. It's estimated that 1 to 8 million tons of plastic enter our oceans yearly, harming marine life, damaging ecosystems, and introducing microplastics into our food chain. If plastic disappeared tomorrow, would it save the planet or destroy modern civilization as we know it?

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 06:00:20 -0000

This blue, marble-like planet looks just like Earth, but only five seconds on this hostile death-orb would kill you. Welcome to HD 189733b. This planet is enormous, even larger than Jupiter, and like Jupiter, it's entirely made of gas. Scientists classify HD 189733b as a hot Jupiter.

Stay tuned for our new exciting Saturday episode where Peter, our host, will take on a real-life What If challenge! One lucky viewer of that episode will get a chance to meet the What If team.
