We are spending 270 hours of James Webb time in just a small patch of sky about the size of your pinky finger net. We have information about possibly two million or so galaxies within this cosmos field ranging all the way out to 13 and a half billion light years away. So what we need instead is the opportunity to use machines, machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence to help us make sense of all of this incredible amount of information.
How can we use AI to explore the universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly answer grab-bag questions about simulations, black holes, warp drive and more with astrophysicist and “Geek-in Chief '' Charles Liu.
