Coming up on Star Talk, we have Star Talk Live at the Beacon Theater, New York City. We're celebrating the hundredth anniversary decade of the discovery of quantum physics. Not only that, the 1920s was when we discovered that the Milky Way galaxy was not alone in the universe, and that the universe itself was expanding. So we brought out the big guns for that one. We've got Jan 11.

And Brian Green, two cosmologists with whom you are most familiar, and a very special comedic guest, Hassan Menaj. So join me and Chuck Nice as we host that evening coming up. Welcome to Star Talk, your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide. Star Talk begins right now. So before we begin, I just want to, I didn't know this until today that the two of you are actually current collaborators on some research.

Could you just just highlight what that is? What are you doing? I mean, Brian and I have been working together for years. Mostly we've been thinking about extraspatial dimensions. And different cosmological implications, implications for theoretical physics, you know, hiding some dark energy in some extra dimensions.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
