Hello, Dr. Joe. We have been told over the years that the explosion of stars is what causes black holes to form. But recently I read something that said black holes might also actually be capable of FORMING stars. I had never heard that before. What can you share about that? Logicalgal175*

Hello. I have 3 questions that I would like to throw out there for discussion: 1,). I have for a long time wondered why we keep doing the same thing over and over again with regard to our rockets and rocket launches, which I myself consider to be outdated and pretty much passé. I feel like...

I agree with Catastrophe. Just because we want something to be true, does not make it so. I am always open to new ideas and new findings. But the ones about rivers on Mars simply do not hold water for me. And the ones that claim that they are roads, are just too hard for my imagination to...

My favorite Mars story was the recent landing of the Perseverance Rover on Mars in Feb. 2021! I can't get over how far we have come in our efforts to learn more about our nearest neighbor.

Joe, do you know why it is taking so long to get the James Webb Telescope up into space? I’ve been hearing about it for several years.

Hello, Joe. Welcome back. I have 2 questions: 1.) There is still so much we don’t know about gravity and what propagates its “force”. And the existence of a graviton is still a theory. So, what are your thoughts about the Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) theories? I’m currently reading a...

Thank you in advance for taking one more question from me: Do male and female astronauts ever become attracted to one another? You know....romantically?

Were you weightless? Or at least in reduced gravity?

The information I have learned from recent astrophysicists is that 72% of the Universe is dark energy, 23% is dark matter, and 5% is made up of known particles (atoms). Where do you get your statement that “the majority of the Universe has always been made up of dark matter”? (I think this was...

Hahaha. O.K. So I've got it now. In my humble opinion is: "IMHO". Thank you!

And oh, by the way, my opinion is (and apparently this is now being abbreviated as “IMO”.... so IMO...in my opinion) ...is that gravity is merely nothing more than a measure of acceleration. Gravity is not really a “force” by itself. And eventually, physicists will come to that agreement...

Yes! It is not LEGO as at least one other on this forum has suggested.

I too happen to believe that the universe is and always has been and always will be...always and forever expanding. That's my opinion. I'm also going to say that I am not convinced there ever was a "Big Bang". And recently, finally, finally, I am now starting to read about other...

I think you must mean “LIGO”. (Legos are definitely real. My son used to build stuff with them. ).
