It’s All Relative
This episode explores the fascinating connections between Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity and modern technology, like GPS. The hosts, Jay Shaffer and Mike Lewinski, explain how both special relativity (which deals with time dilation from speed) and general relativity (which explains how gravity warps spacetime) are essential for the accurate functioning of GPS satellites. The episode also delves into two recent astronomical discoveries: a new tiny moon orbiting Uranus, named S/2025 U1, and a study suggesting that the dwarf planet Ceres may have once been habitable.
Sweet show! Keep it up brothers!
