Description

Astronomers are puzzled after discovering a radio-jet-emitting Quasar dating back to the early Universe [https://www.space.com/most-distant-radio-loud-quasar-jets]. This week on Space Radio Live I talk about why this is such a conundrum, as well as these other subjects:

► Why quasars and AGNs are more common in the distant past;

► Difference(s) between a black hole singularity and the Big Bang singularity;

► Black holes and frame dragging and ergospheres - OH MY!

► Do Cherenkov radiation particles experience time going backwards?

► … and much more.
