When it comes to unidentified aerial phenomena, there seem to be only two sides. One that unconditionally believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life and one that completely ridicules the whole thing.
So, who’s right? Should we spend time and resources searching for technologically advanced alien species? Or is it all just a waste of taxpayers' money? And what does all of this tell us about the mainstream scientific community?
Here today to discuss this with me are Dr. Garry Nolan, Professor of Pathology at Stanford University, and Dr. Avi Loeb, Professor of Science at Harvard University. Garry and Avi have made significant contributions to this field and are incredibly open-minded, so it was a pleasure talking with them about this.
Join us as we dive deep into UAP research, alien biology, the panspermia hypothesis, religion, philosophy, and much more!

Inspired by insights gained in spaceflight, a NASA astronaut offers key lessons to empower Earthbound readers to fight climate change
When Nicole Stott first saw Earth from space, she realized how interconnected we are and knew she had to help protect our planetary home.
In Back to Earth, Stott imparts essential lessons in problem-solving, survival, and crisis response that each of us can practice to make change. She knows we can overcome differences to address global issues, because she saw this every day on the International Space Station. Stott shares stories from her spaceflight and insights from scientists, activists, and changemakers working to solve our greatest environmental challenges. She learns about the complexities of Earth’s biodiversity from NASA engineers working to enable life in space and from scientists protecting life on Earth for future generations. Ultimately, Stott reveals how we each have the power to respect our planetary home and one another by living our lives like crewmates, not passengers, on an inspiring shared mission.

Watch the full video with Julian Barbour here: https://youtu.be/nojc3iXpFxw
Julian Barbour is the author of the highly regarded The Discovery of Dynamics and the bestseller The End of Time and The Janus Point.
He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cologne in 1968. He is a past visiting professor of physics at the University of Oxford and lives on the edge of the scenic Cotswolds, UK.
A major new work of physics, The Janus Point will transform our understanding of the nature of existence.
In a universe filled with chaos and disorder, Julian Barbour makes the radical argument that the growth of order drives the passage of time — and shapes the destiny of the universe.
Time is among the universe's greatest mysteries. Why, when most laws of physics allow for it to flow forward and backward, does it only go forward? Physicists have long appealed to the second law of thermodynamics, held to predict the increase of disorder in the universe, to explain this. In The Janus Point, physicist Julian Barbour argues that the second law has been misapplied and that the growth of order determines how we experience time. In his view, the big bang becomes the "Janus point," a moment of minimal order from which time could flow, and order increase, in two directions. The Janus Point has remarkable implications: while most physicists predict that the universe will become mired in disorder, Barbour sees the possibility that order — the stuff of life — can grow without bound.

#Cosmology #Astrophysics #AstroKatie The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) is a lively antidote to our otherwise cheerful times. Instead of agonizing over a pandemic, political polarization, and economic upheaval, why not fret over the end of the entire universe?! All jokes aside, why bother studying our universe’s demise? Well, as Mack says, contemplating our end helps us “understand the fundamental nature of reality itself.”
Known as AstroKatie to her legions of followers, Mack is a theoretical astrophysicist and an assistant professor of physics at North Carolina State University. She contemplates such cosmological catastrophes as the Big Rip, the heat death of the universe, and, most terrifyingly, vacuum decay—the possible transition from the false “metastable” vacuum state we may currently be enjoying into its true minimum, or ground state, which would cause the instantaneous disintegration of baryonic matter, among other day-ruining effects. In her skillful hands, we learn that although our cosmic comeuppance won’t be pretty, we at least have billions of years before it will occur. That is, unless vacuum decay—discussed with the perfect blend of academic rigor and poetic license—is the ultimate culprit of our doom, in which case cosmic catastrophe may occur as you read this sentence.
Following Yogi Berra’s dictum that “it’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future,” Mack warns us that how the universe will end is much less certain than how it began. Although she largely eschews the typical approach of recapitulating cosmology’s vast history, she does note that our knowledge of the origin of the universe also was once more nebulous. Well into the 20th century, there were many rival cosmogonies, including the cosmic egg, Lemaître’s primeval atoms, and even the biblical book of Genesis. Nevertheless, cosmic eschatology has gotten short shrift.
The End of Everything was published exactly 100 years after the famous debate between astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis over whether the Milky Way galaxy was the entire universe or other galaxies were in the cosmos. The so-called Great Debate was resolved three years later when Edwin Hubble demonstrated that the object then known as the “great spiral nebula” in Andromeda was not a nebula at all but an entirely separate galaxy. Further observations by Hubble proved that the universe was expanding, which prompted speculation about what happened when its expansion began. Scientists eventually settled on the Big Bang theory accepted today. All the while, attention to the opposite end of the timeline—if there is one—has been sparse, and speculation reigns.
