Ever wondered about the intriguing world of gravitational waves, black holes, and time travel? Get ready to stretch your mind as we chat with the spirited Dr. Isobel Ramero-Shaw, an accomplished physicist whose tenacity led her to the far reaches of gravitational wave astrophysics. From her path from literature to mathematics to astrophysics, to the rippling effect of gravitational waves, embark with us on this illuminating journey.

The episode unfolds as we venture into the mysterious realm of black holes. What if you were to fall into a black hole? The Doc brings the science behind the film Interstellar under the microscope, analyzing its depiction of black holes and their impact on time and space. She also delves into the tantalizing concept of time travel via black holes and wormholes, and the challenging study of these celestial bodies.

But that's not all! We take an unexpected detour to discover the charming world of giant African land snails, each with their unique personalities. We also explore a riveting science fiction narrative involving conversations with aliens on a neutron star and ponder the possibility of a black hole lurking within our solar system.
