Are we as sentient critters early to the aliens party? @AdamFrank4 @david_kipping @PioneerWorks_

Billions of Exoplanets, Zero Aliens? This week, a rumination on UFO’s, disharmonious species, and extraterrestrials, inspired by Scientific Controversies: Aliens with astronomers Adam Frank and David Kipping. Read more thru link in bio. @AdamFrank4 @PioneerWorks_ @david_kipping

We have sent landers to Mars, collected Moon regolith, returned samples from asteroids, beamed messages into space, and listened patiently for replies. Where are all the aliens?open.substack.com/pub/jannalevin…

The theoretical physicist Thomas Hertog believes that a sort of cosmological natural selection may have evolved our universe into one that is mysteriously fine-tuned for life. Tune in to “The Joy of Why” with co-host @jannalevin: quantamagazine.org/why-did-the-un…

There is an unmarked threshold at the edge of a black hole that you could drift past without incident, unaware of your irreversible crossing. No warning signs, no sirens, no flashing lights. Everything spills across, carried on an invisible current, a waterfall of spacetime

“Climate change doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in a context.” — Elfatih Eltahir, hydrologist, climatologist, and meteorologist at MIT quantamagazine.org/how-can-region…

Are we early or late to the party?

The impacts of climate change will not be distributed evenly across the globe. How can regional models help individual communities adapt? Tune in to “The Joy of Why” from @prx and @quantamag with co-host @stevenstrogatz. quantamagazine.org/how-can-region…

We hear about climate models all the time. But what goes into the science of climate prediction? And what do we know about how things are changing around the world? Tune in to my conversation with climate scientist Elfatih Eltahir on “The Joy of Why” from @prx and @quantamag:…

There are many resolutions to the Fermi paradox—Where is everyone? An obvious solution is that Space exploration is hard. We’ve only sent signals into the Milky Way for less than a hundred years but the galaxy is nearly 150,000 light years across. Still, a civilization that has…
