It’s time for more science in your life, so get ready for the seventh addition of “Science But Simple”!
This week, Mike’s favourite scientist, Josh, returns to talk about misconceptions surrounding scientific terminology including mass/weight, hypothesis/theory, that “supermassive” doesn’t necessarily mean large in size and Freudian slips are even mentioned! In addition to terminology, Josh explains what black holes are, why the new image of a black hole is being talked about, how forces work against each other and more!
