Astronomers are puzzled after discovering a radio-jet-emitting Quasar dating back to the early Universe [Scientists Find Most Distant Quasar Shooting Powerful Radio Jets]. This week on Space Radio Live I talk about why this is such a conundrum, as well as these other subjects:
Why quasars and AGNs are more common in the distant past;
Difference(s) between a black hole singularity and the Big Bang singularity;
Black holes and frame dragging and ergospheres - OH MY!
Do Cherenkov radiation particles experience time going backwards?
… and much more.
Tonight's Dom's Cheese of the Week was Mimolette, a cave-aged cheese from northern France.
