What if the best person to solve the mystery of alien communication isn't a SETI researcher or a radio astronomer, but instead a theoretical physicist trained in the deepest notions of physical law, symmetries, and quantum field theory?
Well, today, I’m joined by Latham Boyle, a renowned theoretical physicist exploring the fundamental symmetries of the universe and developing new ideas to understand how the universe began. But his research goes beyond that—he’s also tackling one of the greatest mysteries of all time: the Fermi Paradox. After explaining everything we need to know about symmetries, Latham shares his bold theory of a mirror universe, where the cosmos is symmetric across the Big Bang, and how that could explain the strange silence from the stars. We explore how this radical idea might reshape our understanding of dark matter, the origin of the universe, and why advanced civilizations might be using quantum signals we’re simply not equipped to detect.
What if we’re not alone, just looking in the wrong way?

Galileo: The Elon Musk of the Renaissance? | Dr. Brian Keating on Young Heretics with Spencer Klavan
Dr. Brian Keating joins Spencer Klavan to discuss one of the most brilliant, complicated, and misunderstood men in all of Western history. No, not Elon Musk. Galileo Galilei!
They cover Galileo's daring philosophy of science, his contributions to human knowledge, his devout Catholic faith, and his many, many mistresses and children.
Plus: what can believers learn from scientists, and vice versa?

Mike Brown Lecture on Finding Planet Nine and his Journey to Redefine the Solar System
Win Extraterrestrial Metal: join my mailing list 💥 https://briankeating.com/yt 💥
Mike is an astronomer and professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). His groundbreaking discoveries of dwarf planets like Eris, Haumea, and Makemake shook up the astronomy world and led to the controversial redefinition of what constitutes a planet.
Why was Pluto actually demoted? And is there a hidden Planet Nine lurking in the outer solar system?
As a treat for all my members, Mike has graced us with a lecture on Finding Planet Nine and his Journey to Redefine the Solar System. Don’t miss out!
