When Worlds Collide, Literally

Do you remember that one episode of Mythbusters, when they wanted to find out what would happen if two Earth-sized planets smashed into each other, so they called in some favors and got a solar system with two Earth-sized planets, smashed them together, then showed the awesome high-speed camera footage of it over and over? Me neither. But we can pretend it really happened, because scientists found a solar system littered with the remains of two shattered planets. Could it happen here? More »

MythBusters' Grant Imahara Talks to io9 About Engineering, Star Wars, and the Controversial RFID Episode

Click here to read MythBusters' Grant Imahara Talks to io9 About Engineering, Star Wars, and the Controversial RFID Episode
Grant Imahara has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from USC. He has been featured in IEEE Spectrum Magazine for his engineering work, and has been a combat robot judge and a mentor for high school robotics competitions. However, if you ask him what he does for a living, he'll say, “I'm a TV Host.” That's because Grant has logged four wildly successful years busting urban legends on the popular series MythBusters on the Discovery Channel, and straddling the divide between science fiction and science fact suits him just fine. He spilled the secrets of his geeky success, and gave us the latest on the allegedly-suppressed RFID episode, during a special visit to the MythBusters warehouse set last week. More »
