    Unraveling the Cosmos: Black Holes, Gravity Theories, and Planet Nine
    In this thought-provoking Q&A episode of Space Nuts, host Andrew Dunkley and the ever-insightful Professor Fred Watson dive into a variety of compelling questions from listeners. They tackle the intriguing concept of the universe potentially being born inside a black hole, explore a new theory of gravity, and discuss the ongoing search for the elusive Planet Nine.
    Episode Highlights:
    - The Universe Inside a Black Hole: Listener Ash from Brisbane poses a fascinating question about the possibility of our universe being trapped inside a black hole and the implications of such a theory. Andrew and Fred Watson discuss the mechanics of black holes and what it would mean for our existence.
    - A New Gravity Theory: Casey from Colorado asks about the latest advancements in gravity theories, prompting a discussion on the unification of quantum field theory and relativity, and the potential breakthroughs from Finnish researchers that could reshape our understanding of gravity.
    - Understanding Hubble Tension: The duo explains the concept of Hubble tension, highlighting the discrepancies between two methods of measuring the universe's expansion rate and what this could mean for cosmology.
    - The Quest for Planet Nine: Simon from New South Wales raises questions about the search for Planet Nine and the methods used to detect it, while Joe from Washington inquires about the limits of gravitational assists for interstellar travel, leading to a discussion on the practicality of such missions.

    Unveiling the Mysteries of Water on Mars and Beyond
    In this captivating episode of Space Nuts, host Andrew Dunkley and the ever-knowledgeable Professor Fred Watson delve into the latest discoveries surrounding water on Mars and innovative ideas for spacecraft re-entry. They explore a groundbreaking theory suggesting vast amounts of liquid water may exist beneath the Martian surface and discuss a revolutionary new cooling method for spacecraft during atmospheric re-entry.
    Episode Highlights:
    - The Water Beneath Mars: Andrew and Fred Watson discuss the findings from NASA's InSight mission, revealing that Mars may harbour significant amounts of liquid water trapped in porous rock beneath its surface. They explore the implications of this discovery for future Martian exploration and the potential for microbial life.
    - Innovative Cooling Solutions: The duo examines a new approach to spacecraft re-entry that involves a 3D printed material capable of 'sweating' to cool down, potentially revolutionising how we protect spacecraft from the intense heat of re-entry.
    - The Universe's Expiration Date: They also discuss a startling new theory from Dutch scientists that suggests the universe may end much sooner than previously thought, with calculations indicating it could be just 10 to the power of 78 years away, significantly shorter than earlier estimates.
