When two black holes collided 1.3 billion light years away, it sent ripples – gravitational waves – through spacetime that we detected here on Earth!
Gravitational waves controversy, Facebook psychology controversy, electric eel evolution, ebola, coffee in space and more!
Described as “the biggest thing since dark energy”, the recent detection of gravitational waves from the afterglow of the big bang confirms a significant theory in cosmology. Astronomer Dr. Alan Duffy joins us to explain it all.
Always informative, often entertaining. Great selection of regulars with a variety of interests and expertise. Also great guests with and Australian focus.
Nice to hear science news from an Aussie perspective and with a good dose of humour. Great work!
I have enjoyed this podcast b/c it is very funny banter about science stories but there is also a serious edge to the analysis. It's proof that you can be amusing and entertaining as well as giving the science content its due. Highly recommended weekly listening.
