Neil deGrasse Tyson is your personal astrophysicist. Today we're going to do a Cosmic Queries grab bag edition. Chuck: Do you think future scientist Neil will look back at our particle colliders and think that they were somewhat barbaric? Astroparticle physics deals with what happened in the early universe when the universe was small and very hot. Is there a way to observe those conditions without being barbaric to arrive at them?
Is it time to rethink string theory? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore a mix of questions about the fundamental properties of the universe, particles, the speed of light and more!
