Unsolved Space Mysteries

In this episode, we delve into the enigma of Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs). Are these rapidly rotating neutron stars acting as a cosmic clock, or could they be an ingenious way to detect low-frequency gravitational waves? Join us as we explore the science behind PTAs, their potential role in gravitational wave astronomy, and the mysteries that continue to surround them.
