In anticipation of our August 1 Eclipse 2017 Spectacular with astronomer Robert Kirshner, we replay a 2015 podcast where Lian attends a speech at CalTech by Dr. Kirshner. 

The Accelerating Universe: Lian attends a talk by astrophysicist Dr. Robert Kirshner about The Accelerating Universe. Dr. Kirshner happens to be our cousin, but that doesn't mean we know what he's talking about. Lian tries to break down what's happening in the world of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Interested? Read more about his book, The Exatravagent Universe here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Extravagant-Universe-Exploding-Accelerating/dp/069111742X
