If you think time travel is impossible, think again. We can now make machines capable of this astonishing feat. Voyager One, NASA’s space probe that left Earth in the ‘70s, has been travelling at such staggering speeds it’s now traveled over one second into the future. And after moving through space at high speed for 803 days, Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev aged fractionally less than the rest of us. So how far through time can our technology take us? Go back to the future with Horizon, and discover how close we are to cracking one of science’s biggest conundrums.

Shedding Light on Atoms, Episode 6, Electron Shells
directed by Spiro Liacos, fl. 2008; produced by Liacos Educational Media, in Shedding Light on Atoms, Episode 6 (Los Angeles, CA - Venice: TMW Media Group, 2018), 35 mins
In Electron Shells, we look at how electrons are arranged within atoms in electron shells, and at how the Periodic Table is organised to reflect these arrangements. We demonstrate a variety of experiments which led to the discovery of electron shells and finish by taking a brief look at the size of atoms.

In Measuring Energy, we introduce students to the Joule, the unit for energy. We look at how much energy is stored in different foods by comparing apples and oranges (normally a no-no) and we discuss how much energy we need to do certain things including nothing much at all. We then explore the concept of energy b...

We look at how much energy is stored in different foods by comparing apples and oranges (normally a no-no) and we discuss how much energy we need to do certain things including nothing much at all. We then explore the concept of energy balance and reveal the two simple rules for weight loss. That's right, there are only two!

In this program we introduce students to the concept of efficiency, which is a measure of how much useful energy you get out of something compared to the amount of energy that you put into it. We answer a number of questions including: how much light energy do we get out of light globes compared to the amount of electrical energy that goes into them, how much kinetic energy do we get out of cars compared to the amount of chemical energy that we put into them and how do our arched feet make us the long-distance running champions of the animal world? This program is the most energy-efficient way of learning everything that you need to know about energy efficiency!

What are electromagnetic waves and how did they discover that light is made of them? How did they discover all the electromagnetic waves (like radio waves) that we can't even see? And how do these electromagnetic waves affect our lives? In this program, Science teacher Spiro Liacos introduces students to waves in general and then takes a detailed and very entertaining look at radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays. Along the way he surfs, plays guitar and piano, flies a helicopter (a remote control one), dives into the ocean, visits the dentist and spends some time in the tropical sun.

After a quick recap on refraction, students will learn how magnifying glasses work and how projectors produce giant images on giant cinema screens. We then look into a tuna fish's eye to show how our eyes work. After explaining how concave lenses produce images, well learn how spectacles help people who have vision defects. The first bonus feature takes a fun look at slow motion, fast motion and stop motion and the second bonus feature, aimed at more advanced students, covers the mathematics of lenses and image formation.

In this program, teacher Spiro Liacos uses fantastic animations and amazing visuals to delve into every aspect of reflection, mirrors, and the virtual-3D mirror world that mirrors create. What is reflection? How do mirrors reflect light differently to everything else and how do they form images? In what way are mirror images different to two-dimensional photos? How does our ability to see in 3D affect the way we see images in mirrors? Can animals see things in mirrors? And how do periscopes work? These questions, and many more, are answered in this program, which includes host Spiro presenting a range of optical illusions and magic tricks which all incorporate mirrors. You'll never look into a mirror in the same way again.
