    How can anyone agree on the age of the universe? And how can we be so confident if it's all just a bunch of models? What if the universe is extra lumpy, does that change anything? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!

Paul is great at explaining simple phenomena with simple words like what it would feel like to fall in a black hole. I guess it takes a nerdy person but this is definitely binge worthy to me. Love it!

Really cool podcast about cosmology and physics!
