The Massive Machine at the Bottom of the Sea
Ep 16 · Aug 3, 2026 · 16 min
Off the coast of Sicily, there’s a massive underwater machine. It looks like a forest of floating spheres… And on the surface, hidden in an abandoned winery, a computer watches them and waits. And in 2023, they saw something… Something WAY smaller than an electron tore through that forest, setting off a signal nearly 30x more powerful than anything like it we’ve seen before, which means something HUGE must have happened way out in space.
What If You Just Keep Digging?
Ep 15 · Aug 3, 2026 · 12 min
Have you ever thought, “what if I just dug a really really deep hole?” Well, the USSR actually did. The hole they dug is deeper than the deepest part of the ocean. It’s deeper than Mt. Everest is tall! They began digging it in the 1970s as part of a space race, but down. The United States only got to 600 ft before pulling funding. But the USSR kept going for 20 years. They made it about a third of the way through the Earth’s crust and then STOPPED.

Why Aren't Planes Electric Yet?
Ep 13 · Jul 26, 2026 · 10 min
Electric planes are already here. But they don't look like I thought... If you want more optimistic stories about technology, subscribe to support our show! Are electric planes possible? And if so, when are they coming?? Turns out, they’re already here.
How This Telescope Searches For Aliens
Ep 12 · Jul 26, 2026 · 5 min
This new image will help us answer the biggest question: Are we alone? Subscribe if you love optimistic technology stories. NASA just released the first pictures from the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built. They’re incredible. They show the deepest we’ve ever seen into space, stars being born, galaxies colliding.
The Big Misconception About Clean Energy
Ep 11 · Jul 24, 2026 · 9 min
I’ve been thinking about energy use all wrong. Subscribe to support Huge If True, an optimistic tech show. As long as most of our energy still comes from fossil fuels, we’re in kind of a trap. Using less energy is our only real option to slow climate change. So most of us have heard only one message throughout our lives: “Conserve energy. Because terrible things will happen if we don’t.”
Why This Olympic Sport Bothers Physicists
Ep 10 · Jul 24, 2026 · 16 min
Every four years, people lose their minds over one Olympic sport. They make fun of it! But the more I learned about it, the more obsessed I got… and I realized that all these people making fun? They’re getting this totally wrong. This is the coolest Olympic sport by far. The sport I’m talking about is… CURLING.
Why More Sports Need Robot Referees

Something Huge Is Coming...
Ep 8 · Jul 21, 2026 · 3 min
Over the past two years on Huge If True, we’ve explored all kinds of new ideas and technologies that could change the world we live in. Like quantum computers, particle colliders, humanoid robots, new supersonic planes, and much more. We make this show because we believe that by envisioning better futures, we make them more likely to come true. Along the way, I’ve gotten to talk to some of the most important people building these new tools
5 Wild Experiments In Zero Gravity (Bonus Episode)
Ep 7 · Jul 18, 2026 · 11 min
I'm scanning my brain inside a plane that’s about to DIVE toward the ground… to test how weightlessness helps or hurts your brain. And it’s just one of the 5 crazy science experiments I got to test inside a Zero G plane. I recently went on this Zero G plane to explain a big debate about gravity, and while I was there, I also got exclusive access to experiments that can ONLY happen in zero gravity. I just knew you’d love to see it.
Humanity’s Real Plan to Stop This Asteroid (Feat. Mark Rober)
Ep 6 · Jul 18, 2026 · 22 min
If an asteroid is coming for Earth… what would we really do? Have a coffee with me! Try Cometeer with code CLEO for $20 off your Discovery Box on Imagine, it’s 2034, and a rock the size of a mountain, far off in our solar system is on a direct impact course for Earth. How would we know? And what would we actually DO about it?
What's Hidden Under Antarctica?
Ep 5 · Jul 17, 2026 · 19 min
In 1970, a team of Soviet scientists started drilling. For 28 years, they kept going… until after nearly 4,000 meters… they suddenly stopped. Because they’d found something unimaginable: Liquid water. A secret lake, down below all this ice, that had been completely sealed off from the rest of the world for 15 million years. How? And… is there something alive in there? Creatures that have been evolving separately from the rest of the planet for 15 million years?
The Craziest Experiment Humans Have Ever Built
Ep 4 · Jul 17, 2026 · 18 min
In the middle of the desert, miles from any city, are two HUGE concrete tubes. They’re part of a giant machine running the most precise experiment humans have ever built… Each tube is 4 kilometers long, and inside there’s a big metal pipe. And at the end of each pipe, scientists place some of the smoooooothest mirrors ever made. And then they fire a powerful laser that gets split down each tube, bouncing it back and forthe power
Jony Ive Shows The Real Process Behind the Ferrari Luce
Ep 3 · Jul 17, 2026 · 45 min
You’re about to see the first ever all electric Ferrari. A car Ferrari said they’d never make, that will probably be the most controversial car they’ve ever made. Above all, it will definitely be a massive risk – new tech and new design that will impact all of us, whether or not we ever drive a Ferrari. I’m at a secret track in Italy to get a first look before it launches. And talk to the two people most responsible for it
Why You Can't Just Screenshot an NFT
Ep 2 · Jul 16, 2026 · 12 min
The biggest question I hear about NFTs is: “Why can’t I just screenshot that?” Or, put another way, why does a digital image that can be copied have any value? The answer, it turns out, isn’t in an explainer about blockchain technology (you’re welcome). The answer to why NFTs have any value is hiding in the art market that came before them. Because NFTs are weird, but it turns out art is already even weirder.
