From the possibility of seeing our own reflection in space to the intriguing theory of a holographic universe, and the concept of entirely liquid exoplanets, this episode is packed with fascinating insights that will expand your understanding of the cosmos.Episode Highlights:- Seeing Our Reflection in Space: Tony's question sparks a discussion on the challenges of capturing a reflected image of the Milky Way galaxy. Jonti explains the complexities of gravitational lensing and how light behaves in the presence of massive objects, revealing why a clear reflection is beyond reach.- The Holographic Universe: Charles asks about the theory that suggests we might live in a holographic universe. Andrew and Jonti delve into the philosophical implications of this theory, touching on string theory and the nature of reality, while pondering the boundaries between science and philosophy.- Black Holes and Light: David's inquiry leads to an exploration of light's behavior around black holes. The duo discusses whether a black hole can accelerate light beyond its speed, clarifying the fundamental principles of light speed and gravitational effects.- Liquid Exoplanets: Duncan raises the intriguing possibility of an entirely liquid exoplanet. Jonti shares insights into the conditions necessary for such a planet to exist, the role of atmospheric pressure, and how it relates to the formation of planets in our universe.For more Space Nuts, including our continually updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website. Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.
