Samuel Barnet, greeting from London. Would it be possible for an advanced alien civilization to steal our sun before the other side of the world noticed it was missing? Buh! Great question. They have eight minutes to pull off the world's greatest heist. Or maybe we just like finally get a chance to go make out with Mars. It would be fun, except Mars had to go with Mars.
What if the laws of physics were different? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly answer grab bag questions with astrophysicist Charles Liu about alien heists, gravity, and space exploration.
