The speakers delve into the idea of achieving absolute nothingness by eliminating all particles, discussing the persistence of fluctuations and virtual particles. They also consider the vacuum energy of the universe and question whether a region of nothingness would still be considered empty based on the laws of physics.
What would a wormhole actually look like? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice break down a grab bag of questions about nothingness, the nature of miracles, the role of AI in scientific discovery and more!
