From mysterious black holes and galaxy clusters to radio jets, cosmic rays, and the strange "blank space" that turns out to be full of invisible energy, this mind-expanding conversation breaks down some of the universe’s most incredible phenomena. They discuss how stars are born, what happens when galaxies collide, and whether life might exist beyond Earth. It's deep space made understandable, and somehow even more awe-inspiring. Whether you're a science nerd or just curious about what’s out there, this one will stretch your mind in the best way.
