Cosmic Queries – Holographic Universe & Quasars with Charles Liu

About This Episode

Is our universe inside a black hole? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer questions about wormholes, spacetime, quasars, white holes, and more with astrophysicist Charles Liu. What would a wormhole look like to us? 

How will the JWST help us learn more about the birth of stars? What are the implications of a wormhole created on a quantum computer? Is quantum entanglement a strange extraordinary thing or is it normal? We explore the idea that the fabric of spacetime is woven out of wormholes and how we might use them. 

Is our universe in another universe’s black hole? Is a black hole a perfect particle? Learn if the universe is a perfect particle, about Hawking radiation, and the existence of a holographic universe. Can white holes exist? Is there any evidence for them? We discuss Molecule Man and Franklin Richards from The Fantastic 4. What would you do if you could control the universe? 

What would a wormhole look like to us if we were to find one in space? If the power of telescopes were unlimited, what would be the farthest object we could see? Discover the cosmic microwave background, quasars, and black holes at the center of galaxies. What is an active galactic nucleus? All that and more on another Cosmic Queries!
