Hosted by Tony Darnell.

We know that white dwarf stars are the stellar remnants of the death of a star roughly the size of our Sun.  These stars are embers that slowly cool over eons into black dwarfs.  The time required for this to happen is so long that most of the universe will be gone by then.

 

But then, according to Dr. Matt Caplan, these black dwarfs can explode into fiery supernovae long after the universe has gone dark.  How is this possible?  Please join Tony Darnell as he discusses the end of all things with Dr. Matt Caplan.
