Summary

Becky Smethurst is an astrophysicist, author and youtuber with a huge channel called Dr. Becky. She has won all sorts of prizes in physics and astronomy, but her best ability is being able to break down that complex stuff into enjoyable, accessible and easy to understand bites for lay people like us. She talks today about what would happen if you fell into a black hole, what the science of Interstellar gets wrong, the movie, and what will happen at the end of the universe.
