Question Everything. Seriously. Go for it.

We know you've got questions. Good ones. That's why you watch us, right?

Well, starting tonight, we're gonna answer one of your questions on-air every night at 9. If you want to ask Science something- anything- fire a question our way. Or two. Or ten. We'll select one and answer back in prime time. We're taking this whole interactive thing to the next level, baby.

Maybe you're curious about how formaldehyde exposure effects male fertility (it doesn't look good). Maybe you want to know when Wormhole is back (not soon enough). Maybe you're wondering what Science is up to this Friday after work (why, you wanna do something?). We'll pick the day's best query and reply in person. Short and sweet is more likely to get answered than long and rambling, so be direct!

Ask via Facebook (Science Channel) or Twitter (@ScienceChannel / #questioneverything). Then tune in starting tonight and see if your question got picked.

Is Dark Matters going to return with new episodes (and with John Noble)?

[Thomas]

What do you know about the mayan calendar? and the reason they stoped was it cause they ran out of rock? lol

[Ricky Bobby]

Why is the sky blue?

[Chris Porter]

How did plants of today evolve?

[Bryon Hill]

Is there a program that changes binary code to english and english to binary code

[Gregg Middleton]

Why are the protons in the nucleus of an atom clustered together instead of repelling, since they have the same charge? And likewise, shouldn't the electrons crash into the protons, instead of orbiting?

[Bryon Hill]

Where does bird seed come from..plants or weeds

[Dan]

Is the Christian argument against evolution valid?

[Caleb K.]

If we do in fact discover the higgs boson is there a way to modify our own produced items to be super mass or no mass? (I.E. super light steal, 8 ton yard)

[James Clopton]

Regarding the phenomenon of frame dragging; I believe I read where it had been confirmed by satellites. My question is; how can we tell if local space is being distorted (dragged with the local body), since the space around the sensors would likewise be distorted? Something akin to adaptive optics?

[Dennis Delrow]

which leaves last and which arrives first, the wave or the particle.

[Jeff Harwood]

I have heard that before the big bang there was no time. How can that be? In order for there to be a bang there has to be a build up to detonation and that takes time. If you pull the pin on a grenade and there is no time, one; you'd never pull the pin and two;no boom. How can Hawking declare with such certainty that there is no God. With all of the variables numbering more than grains of sand on Earth that must be exact or else the universe would fall apart? Would he give me his wrist watch. I'd take it apart ,put it in a cup and throw it out on the floor and see how long it takes to make a watch. I think he'd say no.

Is the concept of co2 emmision causing global warming fake...???

[Flux80]

Does the "Grandfather paradox" completely eliminate any chance we have of travelling back in time?

[bdour]

Why do stars shine

[Israel]

Why should we ask questions on here?

[Israel]

How does thunderstorms pop up out of nowhere in an "unstable" atmosphere?

[Geno Heslin]

Entropy dictates that disorder increases over time; that the shattered teacup will never reassemble itself. Yet, we see new star systems born and planetary systems assemble themselves through the miracle of gravity, creating order out of the chaos. Is gravity, then, the anti-entropic?

I heard ina documentary that Venus's motion around the Sun is getting slower and that this could happen even to our Earth. Could it be caused by the expansion of the Universe?
Thank you
Mary

[damien]

why is there gravity?

[Ian Neumann]

How does the Voyager 1 not get caught in a planet's gravitational pull?

[Ronald link]

Are the star we see in the night sky all from within our own galaxy?

[CR]

I would like to know...
Are there any new unique bacterias/virus'/germs being discovered in the world today?; How often do germs evolve today?

[CR]

How about this...
there was a show on about ants earlier, and I wonder how often do queen ants naturally meet their end in the wild, what happens to the ant colony if there is no queen? How do they elect a new queen? and queen ants sleep?

[Scott Hammer]

oversimply stated: If I travel closer to the speed of light. my clock would slow compared to a clock on earth. However if I was on the end of a theoretical pole or tower from earth extending to a geostationary orbit 1 light day in circumfer...ence, My clock would measure 24 hours, the same as earth's 24 hours. My question is why is that theoretically possible? And please don't give me some oversimple answer like a theoretical pole or tower wouldn't be strong enough to handle the force, etc. You know what I mean. If that question's too much to ask how about this one:
Was there any Time-dilation experiments done on James' Camron's Mariana Trench dive
I tried to post this on the fb post but I didn't know if that counted.
