How can a supernova become even more powerful? Why do we have such a hard time studying them, let alone defining them? What happens when you let a giant star unleash its full potential?
Feb 27th: Secrets of Arrokoth
Divining Arrokoth’s secrets. How can we spread life in the galaxy? What happened in the early universe?
Feb 18th: Is String Theory Worth It? An Armageddon of Strings
How did String Theory get started? What has made the idea so popular over the decades? Can we ever truly have a theory of quantum gravity? What is supersymmetry, the landscape, and the AdS/CFT Correspondence? What do holograms have to do with this? How many dimensions do we live in? Why does String Theory have such a hard time making predictions? How are we supposed to judge a theory that isn’t done yet? It’s a non-stop String Theory bonanza as I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
Feb 13th: The Death of Spitzer
Goodnight sweet Spitzer! Thank you for your service. @PaulMattSutter will discuss about this and also why is science wrong so much?
Feb 6th: Crashing Satellites over Pittsburgh!
Satellites on a collision course! Will the Big Rip destroy everything? What is the heat death of the universe? Why does Venus still have an atmosphere?

It’s a non-stop String Theory bonanza as I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
Jan 21st: Is String Theory Worth It? We Should Probably Test This
Do we need to test string theory? How are we supposed to judge a theory that isn’t done yet? It’s a non-stop String Theory bonanza as I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
Jan 16th: The Origin of Furbies
What’s making all these FRB’s? How to get started in cosmology? How can we see the cosmic microwave background? What’s going on with the Hubble constant?
Jan 9th: Launching into 2020
What’s up in 2020? Lookslike we will have Seven launches to watch in 2020. And more questions to answers such as microscopic black hole, why new year start in winter, will James Webb study CMB? #365DaysOfAstro with @PaulMattSutter
Jan 7th: Is String Theory Worth It? Duality of the Fates
Part 5 of a non-stop String Theory bonanza as @PaulMattSutter discuss about Duality of the Fates in string theory. More on today’s Ask a Spaceman at #365DaysOfAstro
