Delve into the weird and wacky shapes of galaxies and the cosmic story they tell. Learn about the initial state of galaxies as a homogeneous gas cloud and how they evolve through the coming together of stars and gas clouds. Explore the range of sizes, from smaller to larger galaxies, and how our understanding has evolved with more observations. Discover the distinctions between spiral and elliptical galaxies, and how elliptical galaxies form through mergers. Explore the wide variety of shapes that galaxies can take due to factors like black holes and galaxy collisions.

Daniel and Jorge discuss the difference between inertial and gravitational mass, exploring their historical perspective and theoretical explanations. They explain how objects with different masses fall at the same speed and delve into Einstein's geometrical explanation in general relativity. The chapter also touches on concepts like pseudo gravity, black holes, and the ever-evolving story of physics.

Daniel and Jorge discuss the possibility of lost planets in our solar system, exploring the evolution of our understanding of planets and scientific models. They delve into the formation of gas giants and search for kicked-out planets. They also touch on the concept of Earth being ejected from the solar system and a lighthearted banter about a hypothetical white chocolate gas planet.

The podcast discusses dark matter's prevalence in the universe and its mysterious nature. They explore how dark matter shapes the cosmic web and its role in galaxy formation. The hosts also touch on the possibility of galaxies existing without dark matter and the challenges in identifying them. Overall, the podcast delves into the concept of dark matter and its significance in our understanding of the universe.

The podcast explores the concept of energy conservation in quantum mechanics and the ongoing debates surrounding its applicability. It discusses the challenges and different perspectives on measuring and understanding energy at the quantum level, including the impact of measuring photon's energy on overall energy. The chapter also examines different interpretations of quantum mechanics, including the multiverse theory and its implications on energy conservation.
