Captivating, easily parsed conversation

This episode represents everything I love about this podcast: fascinating discussion of complicated physics concepts that a non-expert can easily follow and be absorbed in. No real Interstellar spoilers, yet I found myself looking at that movie with renewed interest and even more respect. The call-out to previous work of other scientists and filmmakers is especially touching and humbling. Thanks, Dr. Degrasse-Tyson, for not just hosting a love-fest, although that element is there, but asking the difficult questions for us critical thinkers in other disciplines.
