0:00.0	It's all about gravity waves on this special edition of Ask Science Mike. answers, even though he may not understand, he'll talk anyway.
0:15.0	He won't solve them, but he'll talk and talk and talking till it's blue in the face.
0:21.0	Science, faith, and life.
0:23.0	Ask science Mike.
0:28.0	Welcome to Ask Science Mike, the weekly podcast where I answer your questions about science, faith, and life.
0:35.4	And this week I got over 200 of the same question about gravity waves, so we're going to do a whole
0:41.4	episode on that. And also coming up later this month, we're going to do a whole episode on that. And also coming up later this month,
0:44.4	we're going to do an event called Lost and Found

1:17.1	So your show is perfect for me.
1:18.6	So thank you so much for everything you're doing, really enjoying it. One of the particular areas I am very deficient in is my
