Exploring the Cosmos - Shami Chatterjee

Get ready to journey beyond the stars in this mind-expanding episode featuring Dr. Shami Chatterjee, Associate Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University, and a key researcher at the Carl Sagan Institute and the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science.

From the discovery of the first repeating Fast Radio Burst (FRB 121102) to groundbreaking work with NANOGrav on detecting gravitational waves, Dr. Chatterjee takes us inside the cutting edge of radio astronomy and time-domain astrophysics.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

·       Classical Physics to Quantum Gravity

·       Connecting Newton to Einstein

·       The mysteries of Blackholes

·       Exploding Neutron Stars and Magnetars

·       Understanding Gravity and the fabric of space

·       How neutron stars act as cosmic clocks to detect ripples in spacetime.

·       The story behind the mysterious FRBs lighting up our universe — and what they tell us about distant galaxies.

·       The incredible 15-year journey leading to evidence of low-frequency gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes.

·       The WOW Signal

This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a front-row seat to the symphony of the universe.
