Bill Nye explores the concept of life on other planets by taking us everywhere from Earth's oceans and deserts to Mars and beyond.
Bill shows that astrologers and tarot card readers are doing nothing other than making vague guesses, and that walking on fire without burning your feet is scientifically possible and does not require any sort of spirituality.
Bill explores the physics of a variety of sports, from the 100-meter sprint of Olympic champion Maurice Green to the cat-like reactions of U.S. women's soccer goalie Hope Solo.
Bill explores why people of different skin colors look so different on the outside when the DNA on the inside is so similar, then has his own DNA sequenced to find out what he can determine about his "race".
