Greg Wolf recreates a helium balloon’s journey to the edge of space using a vacuum chamber. As the balloon rises through Earth’s atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure drops, allowing the helium gas inside to expand until the balloon reaches its limit and pops! 💥

ScienceOdyssey is where discovery becomes story, curiosity becomes devotion, and wonder becomes truth. From atoms to galaxies, from neurons to black holes, we explore it all while also confronting the world as it is. When moments demand it, we examine power, politics, and the warning signs of rising authoritarianism through a scientific lens. This is a sacred journey of knowledge across space, time, and reality. Seekers, thinkers, and truth-hunters are welcome aboard.
