Archived Insights: Gravitational Waves, Earth's Fate, and Dark Energy
In this special episode of Space Nuts, hosts Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson take a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of the most compelling questions from their Q&A sessions. This episode features discussions on gravitational waves produced by the Big Bang, a thought-provoking "what if" scenario regarding the Earth's fate if the Sun never dies, and a deep dive into the enigmatic nature of dark energy.
Episode Highlights:
Gravitational Waves and the Big Bang: Andrew and Fred tackle a listener's inquiry about whether the Big Bang generated gravitational waves and how these might be detected alongside the cosmic microwave background radiation.
The Fate of Earth: A "what if" question explores the implications of an immortal Sun and how Earth's environment might evolve, leading to fascinating speculations about tidal locking and atmospheric changes.
Time and Dark Energy: The hosts discuss a listener's theory proposing a connection between time and dark energy, addressing the complexities of cosmic expansion and the role of gravity in shaping our understanding of the universe.
