StarTalk Radio
Hubble Trouble with Hakeem Oluseyi

And I fell asleep. It was really boring. That was weird. Why would you write that, David? I'm the guy who wakes everyone up. No, you're the best, man. You're the best. I recently watched a side channel with Hakeem. It was about gravitational waves. Just wondering, can they also alter time? If a huge collision occurred near our solar system, how would we feel them?

While we're sitting here, I'm here, you're running by, we look up at the Andromeda at the same time, and we're seeing something from the same location, essentially. We're seeing things days apart. Days apart. And that leads to the idea of what is now, and your now and my now are two different nows. There is no now. No, there is now. There's always now.
