Neil deGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox Explore Wormholes and Causality

Are you ready to get paradoxical? Neil deGrasse Tyson sits down with physicist Brian Cox, comic co-host Maeve Higgins, and Jason Silva to explore the trippier side of science. You'll hear about the humility needed to be a scientist on the frontier, we explore the physics of wormholes, and we investigate what happens when you start messing with causality.

This segment originally appeared in our 4x Emmy-nominated StarTalk TV show on the National Geographic Channel, and in the StarTalk Radio podcast on January 29, 2016.

The feeling of being highly interested in a discussion only to have it cut short, leaving you hanging really sucks.
Never paid attention to the run time. Was only interested in the topic. lol

Predestination - wonderfully mesmerizing and challenging thought concept. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Answer: the rooster.

... Richard Feynman has a great deal to say about 'Cause and Effect' at the very small scale ~ you should read his book "QED" (Quantum Electro-Dynamics"), or look at some of his lectures on the subject ~ a real eye-opener!

Netflix show Dark 2017 - the best example of cause, effect and no free will
