Watch Sukanta Bose as he uncovers the mystery of neutron star collisions. He takes us on a stellar journey to make us realize that the spectacular cosmic event, that is a neutron star collision might be related to a wide spectrum of things; From the ripples in the universal fabric of space time to the very elements that form a human being. This 'Maverick of the Millennium' puts things in perspective for you as he tells you how "we're all made of star stuff." Sukanta Bose is a professor at the Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune, India and the Washington State University, Pullman, USA. His primary research interest is to explore how gravitational waves, which were first directly observed in 2015 and predicted by Einstein more than a century ago, can be used to understand the cosmos in ways not possible before. He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award (2003) and shared in the Special Breakthrough Prize with scientists in the LIGO Science and Virgo Collaboration in 2016.When not unravelling the mysteries of the universe, he unwinds by weaving magic through his sketches and playing the keyboard. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
