How Old Can Stars Get?

from The Hyperthesis Hosted by Pheely Chitnelawong, Patrick O'Brien, and Liam Farrell

Join us for the 49th episode of the Hyperthesis with Liam, Patrick, and Pheely. In this varied episode, we discuss everything from undersea telecommunication cables to hypothetical stars, and discussion about where astrology came from. In our introductory topic, Patrick discusses how undersea fibre optic cables function and are laid, along with their precursors first used for telegraphs. Liam explores hypothetical stars that may exist in many trillions or quadrillions of years, but we have no way of observing today. Finally, Pheely tells us about the origin of astrology, the original study of stars that has since been used for different purposes.
