In the beginning, there was nothing. Then bang. Our Universe emerged in an explosion of light and energy. Current theories say that it all began 13.7 billion years ago. Or did it? Let's shed some light on this. How fast is the Universe expanding? Will the Universe and everything in it ever die? And why could our Universe have existed before the Big Bang? What's a singularity?

What would the destruction look like? Would the U.S. become two separate countries? What are megathrust earthquakes? Will tectonic plates create even bigger fault lines?

Imagine Earth covered in thick sheets of ice and sea levels so low you could walk to a different continent. This is what our planet would look like during an ice age. There have been five of them in Earth’s history, and they have had a huge impact on our present world. Now, try and imagine an Earth where these ice ages never existed in the first place. What ecosystems would change? Would humans have evolved? Why do ice ages happen? What are Milankovitch cycles? Would there be climate change? How different would the season cycles be?

Scientists predict that the oceans' oxygen levels could drop 3 to 4% by the year 2100. As that happens, oceans will undergo drastic losses of biodiversity, and entire ecosystems could be wiped out. Why is oxygen disappearing? Why are oceans losing oxygen? How could this affect us? Is there anything we can do to stop this? Oceans losing 3-4% of their oxygen may not sound very threatening, but it's a big deal. These massive bodies of water cover most of Earth. We know that about 200 million years ago, oxygen was depleted in the oceans. This led to a massive extinction of species. With oxygen levels dropping in the oceans again, could we face the same loss of ocean life? And if you like to eat lobster, shrimp, or fish, will you have enough, or any, to eat in the future?

This episode is sponsored by Morning Brew. Get up to speed on business, finance, and tech in just 5 minutes with their newsletter. We've explored many disasters Earth could face: from asteroids and aliens, to the Sun's death. Yet the Universe is perilous, and a new threat emerges—a blazar. Typically found at the galaxy's center, blazars are black holes of immense mass. For context, the Milky Way's black hole is four million times the mass of the Sun, but pales in comparison to others. This episode investigates the oldest blazar, visibility differences among blazars, the Doppler effect's role in detecting blazars, active galactic nuclei, and the impact of radiation and gamma rays on Earth. We also discuss the distance of Markarian 421 from our planet. For transcript and sources, visit What If Show. Discover our 100 best episodes compiled in a book: The What If 100.

Just 3,000 light-years from Earth is a black hole visible to the naked eye. Thankfully, we are a safe distance from this stellar black hole and many others like it. There are approximately 100 million of them out there in our galaxy that we know of. They are the remnants of supernovae, which occur when stars 10 to 20 times larger than our Sun collapse in on themselves. Could a black hole devour us all one day? There are millions of them out there just waiting. And if we happened to make a black hole accidentally, well, you better fasten your seatbelts. Things are going to really suck! Quite literally. What would we see if we got pulled into a black hole? Could Earth orbit the Sun and a black hole? Would we survive spaghettification? What would happen if we get past the event horizon?

Do you know what you’re putting on your skin? Makeup can highlight your best features, smooth out imperfections, and help you feel confident. And sometimes, you’re just too tired to wash it off before you go to bed. You could get away with this for one night without causing too much damage. But what if one night turns into two, then three, then four, and then 100 days go by, and you still haven’t taken your makeup off? What would you look like? Can makeup cause acne? Or cancer?
