Tai Asks Why

How is the universe going to end?

Not to be a downer, but the universe could end any minute. Or it could take a hundred million years… give or take. So we don’t know *when* it will happen, but we can be a bit more certain about *how* the universe will end. In this episode, Tai unpacks the science of the end times.

Tai goes galactic this week to find out more about the science of the end times.
