From the curious nature of gravity and quantum fields to the potential of ultra-massive black holes, this episode is filled with insightful discussions and cosmic wonders.Episode Highlights:- Gravity Reimagined: Carrick from Wengari, New Zealand, poses a fascinating question about gravity. Could it be pushing us away rather than pulling us in? Fred Watson Watson explores the implications of this intriguing perspective on one of the universe's fundamental forces.- Quantum Field Interactions: Rennie from California inquires about the behaviour of quantum fields and their interactions, such as between magnetic fields and the Higgs field. Discover the complexities of quantum theory and the nature of these subatomic interactions.- Gravitational Lensing: Rusty from Donnybrook asks whether an ultra-massive black hole could be revealed by its gravitational lensing effects. Fred Watson Watson explains the principles of gravitational lensing and the challenges of detecting such cosmic phenomena.- Telescopic Limitations: David wonders why we can't use telescopes like the James Webb to see fine details on the moon. Learn about the limitations of angular resolution and the future of telescopic technology.- Star Wars Trivia: Martin Berman Gorvine from Maryland shares a humorous piece of Star Wars trivia, leaving listeners with a clever play on words.00:00 - Andrew Dunkley answers your questions on this week's Space Nuts01:38 - Fred: We understand gravity as a force that pulls us into objects with mass07:06 - How do quantum fields behave?
