    Ep. 16: The Tragic Truth behind Time Travel
    Jan 17 2022
    I know, I know - time travel is everyone's favorite dream. Whether in sci-fi movies (Tenet, Primer), TV shows (Star Trek, Doctor Who), or books (End of Eternity, Kindred), we've all dreamed of time-traveling to the future, of partaking in a completely-changed version of our universe. Unfortunately, though, today's episode is here to crush your hopes and dreams: we'll talk about why time travel is (mostly) a bust, and why most common time travel solutions (wormholes, Einstein-Rosen bridges, etc) are unlikely to occur. So grab your tissues, get grounded on Earth, and get ready to have a good cry - let's talk about the truth behind time travel today.

    Ep. 15: Are We in a Simulation?!?!
    Jan 10 2022

    Ah, yes. The simulation hypothesis. Now - as scary as this sounds - the sad truth is that being in a simulation would solve many physics mysteries in our universe today. Quantum indeterminacy? Check. The Many-Worlds theory? Also check. The upper limit on the speed of light? Well, unfortunately, that's also solved by our beloved simulation hypothesis. (Don't worry, though, just to keep things level, we'll also tackle why this theory is so controversial in the first place.) So sit back, put on your seatbelt, and enjoy your ride - it's going to be a freaky one.

    Ep. 14: Book Talk! My Favorite Physics/Sci-Fi/Other Books of 2021!
    Dec 28 2021

    If you didn't know - I LOVE to read. I have always been - and will always be - a voracious reader. So, today, let's step beyond the topic of astrophysics - let's get real and personal, and talk about something that could very well further connect (or - dare I say - disconnect) us all: books. Out of the 70 books that I read this year, here are some of my favorites. I hope these inspire you, and, in return, I hope you leave me some of your favorite books that you read this year down below :) Happy reading!

    PS: Here is my Goodreads in case you are so inclined . . .
