Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cosmic Queries Unleashed: Gravitons, Expanding Universes & the Weight of Space Travel | Space...
Q: Are there fundamental particles that do not have a wave function, and could a photon or particle have a wavelength so long that we cannot detect it with any current instrument?
In quantum mechanics, all fundamental particles exhibit wave-particle duality and have wave functions; however, some wavelengths are so long that detecting instruments are impractical or impossible, though the existence of those wavelengths is not ruled out.
Cosmic Queries Unleashed: Gravitons, Expanding Universes & the Weight of Space Travel | Space...
Q: Why do some physicists still believe in gravitons, given that gravity seems to be a curvature of spacetime and not a force?
Many physicists favor gravitons because they offer a particle-based description of gravity consistent with how other fundamental forces are carried by particles, even though we have not detected gravitons and a complete quantum theory of gravity is still lacking.
Cosmic Queries Unleashed: Gravitons, Expanding Universes & the Weight of Space Travel | Space...
Q: If space is expanding faster than the speed of light, then in millions or billions of years from now, will our night sky be completely black or devoid of light except for our local solar system?
The universe is expanding and accelerating, which means distant objects can recede faster than light, but this doesn't imply everything becomes dark everywhere; we will lose sight of most distant galaxies as expansion isolates them, leaving only local structures visible over extremely long timescales.
From Stopping Light to Space Junk — Your Questions Answered | Space Nuts: Astronomy Insights &...
Q: Mark from England asks about using reaction forces to replace a defunct satellite with a new one in the same orbital position and about debris cleanup laws.
It is possible to replace satellites in orbit after the old one decays or is moved; there are international rules requiring space actors to demonstrate a plan for debris removal, and higher orbits (graveyard orbits) are used for defunct geostationary satellites to avoid active satellites, though this creates long-term contamination considerations.
From Stopping Light to Space Junk — Your Questions Answered | Space Nuts: Astronomy Insights &...
Q: Andy in Cheshire asks about collision speeds in the LHC and whether the opposite-moving particles collide at twice the speed of light.
No. At relativistic speeds, closing speed is governed by relativistic formulae involving time dilation and length contraction, which prevent exceeding the speed of light; two streams collide at speeds less than or close to the speed of light due to relativistic effects.
