Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer fan questions about human radio wave signals, strange matter, universes inside black holes, and other physics questions! Could a spaceship constantly accelerate? We talk about retrorockets, the Equivalence Principle, and space fueling stations. Learn how the paths of projectiles don’t actually follow a parabolic arch. Plus, how do photons experience redshift while also being destroyed upon creation? Are we on the other side of another universe's black hole? What is the difference between the horizon of our universe and the event horizon? What is strange matter? We break down the types of quarks and the mysterious things in particle accelerators. Plus, learn where the word β€œquark” comes from. Do gas giants have a solid core made of different things than ours? Find out about the formation of the solar system, Maxwellian distribution of velocities, and how big Jupiter’s atmosphere is. We also explore human radio and TV signals and how we could encrypt our signals so aliens don’t hear us. How many cosmic discoveries are made by people with no formal training? Can enthusiasts still contribute to science? We also discuss what needs to be revised about the model for the start of our universe. Plus, learn how aliens received the wrong directions to our solar system.

Can we just give Chuck the credit he is due. The way his knowledge has grown and ability to explain what he knows is wonderful. Studies have shown a direct parallel between intelligence and sense of humor. Chuck is the epitome of that.

One of the smartest people I watch just said "I don't know the answer to that, we'll have to ask someone else." I can't quite put my finger on why that's so amazing to me.

This is easily the most entertaining science program that i have ever watched. The chemistry between Neil and Chuck is so good that i laughed while gaining a great deal of knowledge. These are truly a treasure.

My wife asked me what Dark Matter was (because, naturally, I have turned her into a Trekkie) I knew Neil would be able to explain it better than I could (mostly because he probably understands it) but I especially wanted to see him explain it to Chuck because you guys are so fun and entertaining to watch. What a great team.
