Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedians Pete Holmes and Sasheer Zamata explore the science in TV shows from antimatter annihilation to tachyons to warp bubbles speeding outside of spacetime with astrophysicist & science advisor for Star Trek, Erin Macdonald, and particle physicist & advisor for The Big Bang Theory and Oppenheimer, David Saltzberg. Recorded live in Los Angeles at The Novo Theater. We begin with the unseen universe, tracing the history of light from William Herschel’s discovery of infrared to the modern detection of neutrinos. How common are neutrinos? You’ll learn about the sound of the cosmos as we discuss gravitational waves and how LIGO uses Einstein’s theories to measure ripples in spacetime smaller than an atom. Could we use gravitational waves to detect dark matter? As we warp into the world of Star Trek, we examine how the franchise
