This Week’s Big Questions!

You’ve been sending in your brilliantly curious questions, and this week…

🚂 Aleena wants to know: Why are steam trains so slow?
☄️Dylan is wondering: How fast was the meteor that killed the dinosaurs?
🛁 Alfie asks: Why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?
🐝 Simon wants to know: Why is there no king bee?
🪨 Owen is curious: What is the hardest type of rock?
🌈 Cherry asks: How are rainbows made?

And we travel back to the Jurassic period, which existed between 144 and 180 million years ago. It was a time when plant life began to flourish as the newly formed oceans brought rain to many parts of the world that had previously been nothing more than dry deserts.

Dangerous Dan!

Battle of the Sciences

Get ready for another mind-stretching journey on this week’s Science Weekly as we dive into the weirdest, wildest, and most wonderful corners of science!

In Science in the News, China’s youngest astronaut has just launched into space, a teenager has built a working robot hand entirely out of Lego, and Neeltje Boogert from Exeter University explains how her team discovered the trick to keeping seagulls away from your snacks at the beach.

Then it is over to your questions as Joe Williams answers Jessie’s big one: what actually happens if you go into a black hole? And one listener wants to know the softest metal on Earth.

Dangerous Dan is back, and this week he is taking on one of the toughest animals on the planet: the honey badger.

In Battle of the Sciences, Alex Dryden dives into AI and economics to discover how computer brains help us make money decisions and understand the world.

Plus, Deep Space High returns in Galaxy Gala, where Mrs Higgs and her class are preparing a cosmic project that is missing one tiny thing… a black hole.

This week, we learn about:
• What happens inside a black hole
• How robots could change future jobs
• The trick to stopping seagulls from stealing food
• The world’s softest metal
• The surprisingly fierce honey badger
