Chapter 1: What philosophical questions does the episode explore?
Nagin, this round had a lot of deep philosophy in it. Ooh, people got juicy. Juicy about time and space and dimensions.
And just things that don't exist and maybe never will, or will they?
All that and more coming up on StarTalk's Cosmic Queries. The Grab Bag. Welcome to StarTalk. Your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide. StarTalk begins right now. This is StarTalk. We're going to do a Cosmic Queries grab bag edition. And today I've got with me as my co-host, Nagim Farsad. Nagim. Hello.
Welcome back. Oh my God. So excited to be here. So excited to launch myself into space. Yes.
Yes. And you've got all the questions from our Patreon supporters. Yes.
Oh, by the way, just reading through these questions, I have to say, I feel so much better about humanity. There are some extraordinarily smart people out there. You don't get this, you don't know that in your regular life.
So you're saying I'm biased into thinking the world is smarter than it actually is because of our fan base.
Because these are not the kinds of things I get from my fans.
Just so we're clear. Maybe there'll be some spillage over. So what's your podcast is?

Chapter 2: How do gravitational waves relate to cosmic events?
And look at, for example, Artemis just went around the moon and back. You know where the astronauts were?
They went up a little bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty,
All the rest of that is fuel. Fuel. And by the time they come back, that's all that's left because they spent all the fuel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So space travel, ideally, in the future, you would refill that nodes.
And is that just like regular unleaded or like what's in the...
Yeah, I mean, it depends on what kind of rocket technology you use. And yeah, give me high octane. I don't know. So the real challenge will be, as we have on Earth, if that's a filling station, you would have to continually supply the filling station. But you can do that on your own time.
Yeah.
Right? You can send slow ships to refill. They're not trying to get somewhere on a timed trip. And so there would be this continuous source of fuel brought to them by tankers, space tankers, if I call them that. So there is an occasion for such things.
