010: [Theoretical Physics - 2 of 2] Kaya Ba Nating Gumawa Ng Black Hole—At Delikado Ba Talaga 'To? (with Dr. Ian Vega)

This episode of Ask Theory features Dr. Ian Vega, a professor at the National Institute of Physics, program coordinator of the Theoretical Physics Group, and head of the Gravity Group at the University of the Philippines Diliman. He was also the recipient of the Outstanding Young Scientist award from the National Academy of Science and Technology for his work in theoretical physics. We talked about some common misconceptions about black holes, an amusing cautionary tale about what can happen if you don’t consult with experts before making decisions, the growing community of bright young minds in the Pinoy physics scene, what the future of theoretical physics in the Philippines looks like, how we can improve science communication in the Philippines, and more. Today's episode was made possible by Mercury Drug Foundation, Inc., a private, non-stock, non-profit organization and the corporate social responsibility arm of Mercury Drug Corporation.
