Description
Fifty episodes that raised a hundred questions. – Is there a point in a star’s life cycle where it is accumulating as much mass as it is losing through its stellar wind? For most stars, probably not, although there are so many possible variations of star life cycles you wouldn’t want to rule any possibility out. – Two black holes walk into a bar... OK, we’re paraphrasing, but the question at hand why there’s nothing to see when two black holes collide all you get is gravitational waves. But when two neutron stars collide suddenly we’re all talking about multi-messaging astronomy, because there’s gamma rays, optical light and gravitational waves as well.

Astronomy Cast Questions Show: Matter Balance, Jumping Light Speed and Black Hole Star Formation: From June 25, 2009. Why was there a difference between the amount of matter and antimatter at the beginning of the Universe? Mathematics lets us travel faster than light speed, so why can’t we?
