| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to series inquiries only this is episode 384 I'm your host Thomas Smith |
| 0:22.8 | and we are back at it this is a part two go back and listen to part one although since |
| 0:26.7 | it's a Q&A I guess you don't really have to but definitely go back and listen to part one of |
| 0:31.7 | the Q&A with astrophysicist Dr. Brian Gillis so many cool questions and we have even more |
| 0:38.6 | and it worked out so brilliantly that we answered all the questions it was exactly the right number |
| 0:42.9 | of questions can't believe it looking forward to doing this again and maybe maybe who knows |
| 0:47.6 | maybe I'll do it with different people of different specialties different expertise because |
| 0:52.2 | this was fun so here's part two as always go to patreon.com slash series pod if you want to be |
| 0:57.2 | able to you know chime in on these Q&As or get them early or listen to a show with no annoying ads |
| 1:04.3 | all those are great reasons to go to patreon.com slash series pod thanks to all who have pledged |
| 1:09.2 | and here we go okay civilpoliticsradio.com fries at 7 p.m. Eastern Valley if you're radio |
| 1:14.8 | asks also are there minimum and maximum wavelengths of light why don't think it's got to be yes right |
| 1:22.5 | oh I'm trying to think about this it might be some quantum mechanic of effects that do it but |
| 1:29.6 | it's actually not something I've thought of before it's something I might have to look up from a |
| 1:34.3 | maximum perspective I'm pretty certain that the answer to that is going to be yes because |
| 1:41.5 | actually sorry the minimum wavelength because the smaller the wavelength of light the more energetic |
| 1:47.1 | it is so at the minimum perspective I think the answer is going to be yes because at some point |
| 1:54.0 | the a single photon of light will be energetic enough and then by e equals mc squared energy is |
| 2:01.2 | the same as mass mass distorts space that a single photon would turn into a black hole so |
| 2:09.2 | there's going to be a limit there also isn't there the length length anyway like stuff can't |
| 2:13.6 | even be yeah yeah there's there's a length where from a quantum mechanics perspective things just |
| 2:20.0 | get indistinguishable so yeah I think you'll reach limits at the minimum I'm not sure about the |
