Coming up on StarTalk, Cosmic Queries, I've got Chuck Nice with me and we have as our guest, theoretical physicist Delilah Gates. We're going to find out if it is a spherical universe, whether we can see the back of the head of our own Milky Way. Does the rest of the universe abide by Newton's laws or Einstein's laws? Is the universe curved? And is there a center of the universe? Next on Star talk, your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide.
What is the shape of spacetime? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discover the structure of the universe, spacetime geometry, and relativity with theoretical physicist at Princeton Gravity Initiative, Delilah Gates.
