Okay.
some stars blow up.
not all of them. but some of them.
Why?
why would something, which had enjoyed millions of years of a non-explody existence just explode?
to get to the heart of the matter we have to get to the core of the thing. We talk about the lifecycles of stars, and nuclear fusion, and quantum mechanics, and fission, and shock wave and neutrinos.
our guest today is Zach Weinersmith, author of the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Webcomic. Zach and Kelly have written an amazing book called “Soonish” .a book about the technology which will come soon.
