Episode notes
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Deirdre Shoemaker, an award-winning professor and researcher of gravitational physics. Dr. Shoemaker is a contributor to the groundbreaking LIGO Collaboration, a multinational scientific effort that made physical observations of gravity waves for the first time in human history. She also leads a team of gravitational physicists at the University of Texas at Austin, where they work to uncover the secrets of Black Holes, Black Hole and Neutron Star Collisions, and the Gravity Waves that they produce.
Dr. Shoemaker is as sharp as she is hilarious. Amidst the laughter of this episode, expect to learn about what happens when the most massive objects in our universe - black holes - collide, what a gravity wave is exactly, how black holes help prove Einstein's equations, and much ...
