StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Yeah, it was a constant refrain.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Well, you and Leo both mentioned forms of transportation, and I have one that I don't think is possible right now, but I would like to see it happen.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

It is a hovering subway, like a subway that doesn't hit tracks.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Okay.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

It hovers above tracks so that it doesn't make a screeching noise.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

And that it's like a little faster and just a little more agile.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Like a hovering subway?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Okay, well then.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Oh, in China?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Wait, so they hover literally, like how much do they hover?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Right.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Okay, so I just want the thing that already exists.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

All right, well, listen, I have another question.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

This one's like very scientifically advanced, I think.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

From Martin.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Martin in Denmark says, I have a question about- In Denmark, I love it.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Yeah, about red shifting.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

What makes the light red shift when traveling great distances?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

And do we know that we're directing all the red shifted light or is our current equipment not good enough to detect light from, for example, 50 to 100 billion light years away?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Oh, right, because we're going to the other end.
