Welcome to the very first episode of The Gravity of Questions! I’m Samashti, a 13-year-old freshman with a big dream and an even bigger curiosity about the universe. In this kickoff episode, I’ll share the story behind my very first blog, “Why I’m Starting an Astrophysics Blog at 13,” and talk about what pulled me toward space in the first place. From childhood wonder in kindergarten to the spark that turned into a mission, I’ll walk you through why I decided to start writing publicly about astrophysics—and now recording this podcast.
This episode isn’t just about facts and science—it’s about curiosity, passion, and the purpose that comes when you discover something you can’t stop thinking about. My hope is that as I share my journey, you’ll find pieces that inspire your own.
