Ever since listening to your series of lectures in "the great courses", I've been devouring everything about physics I've been able to wrap my mind around. I watched your debate about God on YouTube. You speak in ways I hope to someday: confident about the objective world around him works.
I see that you're doing a talk in new York soon, but could we on reddit get you to come back to Philly? I'd love to sit in on a talk of yours as my first live science lecture.
As a science question, can you ELI5 the following: if gravity bends/compresses spacetime, does this mean we can find a tangibility to space, or am I misunderstanding this phenomena. It would seem like large gravity sources, like black holes, would take such an ability to an extreme, and bend spacetime into a 4th physical dimension... Or something. Sorry, I lack the knowledge (currently) to describe my question better.
Thank you for inspiring my passion in the sciences again. Before this, I felt awash in useless interests.
