If you’re a fan of Seinfeld, you know that was always called a show about nothing.
Well we won’t be nearly as funny as Jerry and the gang, but today’s program is about a whole lotta nothing.

And, while we’re up, you know, in space…we’ll spend an academic minute trying to predict when a hungry black hole will swallow a star.
