Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Episode 1a: The Relativity Vault We’re all going to die. But let’s say you’re going to die from some incurable disease – or even just from ageing – and you’ve got some time to plan ahead. One option is to assume that future science could save you. A common strategy to access this option is to get yourself frozen – or even just get your head frozen –until medical science can find a cure for whatever ails you.   Episode 1b: The welcome note One solution to Fermi’s paradox – about why there’s a universe of potentially habitable worlds out there,...

Hosted by Tony Darnell. From Aug 25, 2023. The next big milestone in our study of exoplanets is  a telescope that can see beyond the limits of our eyes, beyond the boundaries of our solar system, beyond the frontiers of our knowledge. A telescope that can reveal the secrets of the stars and the mysteries of the planets. A telescope that can take us closer to finding another home in the cosmos. That telescope is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a NASA observatory that is scheduled to launch in May 2027 and explore a wide range of astronomical phenomena, including exoplanets.
