About this episode

Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu discuss the formation of supermassive black holes and the Cosmological Constant with guest Thresa Kelly.

How do supermassive black holes actually form in the early universe? Is the Cosmological Constant not so constant after all? And what would be on the astrophysical menu at a Cosmic Brunch? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrophysicist Thresa Kelly, who is a second year grad student working on her PhD at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
