Today we are joined by Matthew Gorban. Matt is a 3rd year physics PhD candidate at Baylor University using computational general relativity to investigate the strange and fascinating physics of black holes, wormholes, and warp drives. He also researches the unusual nature of the quantum vacuum with a focus on the Casimir effect,*or the physical manifestation of nothingness*. We discuss these topics and much more in today's show.
