Показать описание
Earth and all the other planets in our solar system are being dragged on a joyride through the universe, as the Dead Planeteers attempt to move the sun. Their destination? The Pillars of Creation.
Leah and Chelsea are joined by Jay Farihi, Professor of Astrophysics at University College London, as they figure out just how slowly the sun would have to move to bring the planets with it.
A big hurdle they first have to overcome is how exactly to move the sun in the first place. Their experimental list of ideas includes:
Tugging on the sun with a black hole ⚫️
Guiding it through the universe with a sun sail ⛵️
Using gravitons to create a giant space car 🏎️
Popping the sun like a balloon 🎈
Dead Planets Society is a podcast that takes outlandish ideas about how to tinker with the cosmos – from causing a gravitational wave apocalypse to unifying the asteroid belt – and subjects them to real science.
