In this episode, we sit down with David Kipping, Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University and Director of the Cool Worlds Lab. We discuss Dyson spheres, unusual radioactive elements found in the atmosphere of Przybylski’s Star, exomoons, and just how rare the conditions that led to life on Earth may be.

We also explore the Fermi paradox and the Dark Forest hypothesis, interstellar travel, laser sails, warp drives, and whether black holes could be used to accelerate spacecraft. David shares what scientists make of ‘Oumuamua, UFOs, and interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS, why a strange anomaly alone isn’t enough to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life, and what kind of evidence could actually convince the scientific community.

Is the speed of light really the absolute limit? Could time travel actually be possible? We discussed these questions in our episode with Sabine Hossenfelder. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/AoQalV3g77U

In this new episode, I talk with Seth Lloyd, MIT professor and one of the pioneers of quantum computing. We discuss how quantum computers work and why just a few hundred qubits could unlock computational capabilities far beyond those of conventional computers, whether quantum computers will be able to break modern encryption, and how they could accelerate the development of artificial intelligence.

We also explore whether it might be possible to simulate the entire Universe, why the Universe itself can be viewed as a quantum computer, whether the laws of physics allow time travel and sending information into the past, as well as black holes, quantum information, and the limits of our understanding of reality.
