Astrophysicist Charles Liu joins Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and Gary O’Reilly to answer questions about aliens, gravitons, and the unknowns of the universe. They discuss the concept of fields and particles, time travel and energy release, the importance of understanding AI, gravity's voice, time and relativity, and the debate over the largest objects in the universe.

Astrophysicist Charles Liu discusses mind-bending concepts like a single electron universe, antimatter, multidimensional time, and quantum physics. The conversation explores Richard Gott's theories, time travel, compactified dimensions, gluons, color perception, the speed of light, astrophysics milestones, and the universe's origins. The episode blends science with pop culture and tackles complex topics in an engaging and entertaining way.

Astrophysicist Charles Liu joins Neil deGrasse Tyson to discuss distorting spacetime, singularities, the shape of the universe, and more. Topics include creating a time cloak with black holes, time stopping, Quantum Entanglement, light detection limits in the universe, and the geometry of the universe.

Astrophysicist Charles Liu dives into the mind-bending concept of time and its cosmic implications. He discusses whether time can die, teasing out the mysteries of black holes and the Big Bang. The conversation explores Einstein's theory of relativity and the nature of time, blending humor with deep scientific inquiry. Liu and co-host Chuck Nice reflect on the ephemeral nature of careers and the universe alike, while sharing entertaining anecdotes and the philosophical challenges of understanding existence itself.
