Theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin discusses quantum physics, the fourth dimension, H2O as water, and the many-worlds interpretation with Neil deGrasse Tyson. They explore space-time stretchability, extra dimensions, and multi-dimensional spaces, touching on black holes emitting gamma rays and human curiosity about the cosmos.

Quick takeaways
Black holes affect time flow for observers, creating varying experiences.
Quantum teleportation uses entanglement to transfer information without physical travel.
Deep dives
Black Hole Time Dilation and Vibration Speed Influence
Black holes affect the passage of time for different observers around them, creating varying experiences of time flow. The vibration speed of an object can impact time flow relative to other parts, where different motions will result in differential effects on time.
Quantum Teleportation and Black Hole Indistinguishability
Quantum teleportation involves entangling particles to transfer information between them without physical travel, leveraging non-locality. This contrasts with classical teleportation, maintaining particle identity using entanglement. Black holes are indistinguishable once settled, resembling fundamental particles in their flawless nature.
Is gravity fundamental to the universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore quantum physics, the fourth dimension, whether H2O is water, and the many-worlds interpretation with theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin, PhD.
