Season 2, Episode 2 - The Great Voids

Daniel Cartin is a physics instructor at the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport, RI. He graduated with a PhD in physics from Penn State, where he worked in what is now called the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos. He has also obtained a master’s degree from the US Naval War College.

His research has explored a wide array of topics, including quantum gravity and cosmology, the Lanchester salvo equations for combat between two sides, and issues dealing with the exploration of the local solar neighborhood (both by our own civilization and by hypothetical extraterrestrials). He enjoys running and playing ultimate frisbee, has visited every public library in Rhode Island, and currently lives in Middletown, RI with his daughter and author wife.
