Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Space-time Continuum

What are the consequences of playing with the SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice break down the space-time continuum in real life and in pop culture.

Find out about Einstein's special theory of relativity and our four dimensions. Neil and Chuck make lunch plans as they navigate space and time. What critiques does Neil have of The Terminator and Back to the Future? What are some unintended complications of time travel? Discover the concept of worldliness, getting unstuck from time in Slaughterhouse 5, and how time travel is just a changing of dimensions.
