The Dangers of Weightlessness On The Human Body
Microgravity is dangerous for humans. But if we want to conquer space, we need to know how to mitigate the negative effects. Join my discussion with Dr Danail Obreschkow from UWA. We talked about studying the effects of microgravity on human body, particularly eyes, and potential ways to deal with them.

Thankyou!
Listening to the misuse of the terms 'lack of gravity' and 'micro gravity' (really it's just free falling) I wonder if there is anywhere in the Universe where those terms could be properly used? Perhaps somewhere between clusters of galaxies where 'micro gravity' is nulled by dark energy?
Great interview thanks
Always been fascinated with hearing astronauts experiencing sights of “flashing dots” while in space. While the effects of cosmic rays on the human body take longer to develop, they are instantaneously seen when they pass through the eye. Looking forward to watching this episode. Question: Do people report seeing that phenomena down here on Earth as well? Have there been known cases? Perhaps near nuclear reactors I’d assume.
Dang man, I can't keep up - haha. Seriously, love the deep dives!
