Does life exist beyond Earth, or is our planet genuinely unique? Can we recreate the origins of life in a lab? And what role does Mars play in the quest for cosmic life?
I had the extraordinary honor of discussing this with two outstanding scientists, Mario Livio and Jack Szostak. Mario and Jack just released their new book, Is Earth Exceptional?, which seeks to answer whether life is a freak accident or a chemical inevitability.
Tune in and join us for this mesmerizing exploration!
Mario Livio is an astrophysicist and author known for his work in cosmology and his popular science books. Livio has significantly contributed to our understanding of dark energy, black holes, and other cosmic phenomena.
Jack Szostak is a prominent biologist and Nobel Laureate known for his significant contributions to understanding lifes fundamental processes. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009, along with Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Greider, for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.

Discrepancies between different measurements of the Hubble constant have caused a major crisis in cosmology.
Our guest today, the incredible Wendy Freedman, is at the forefront of efforts to resolve this tension. Known for her pioneering work on the Hubble Key Project and her important contributions to the measurement of the Hubble constant, Wendy is now using the James Webb Space Telescope to bring clarity to this debate.
With decades of experience and a deep understanding of the complexity of cosmic measurements, there is no one better to shed light on this issue.
So, can the James Webb Space Telescope help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology?
Tune in to this episode of Into the Impossible to find out!—
Key Takeaways:
00:00 Intro
01:14 The role of JWST in solving the Hubble tension
03:57 Comparing different distance indicators
20:41 Standard sirens
34:01 Accurate cosmology vs. precision cosmology
36:31 Vera C. Rubin Observatory and Giant Magellan Telescope
42:46 Wendy’s take on dark energy

What do our genes reveal about our past?
Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s most influential and thought-provoking scientists, explored the most profound principles of evolutionary history in his new book, The Genetic Book of the Dead.
Dawkins is a renowned evolutionary biologist, zoologist, and author. He is also a prominent figure in New Atheism alongside Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens and is well known for his criticisms of creationism and intelligent design.
I had the extraordinary privilege of discussing his new book in our two-part interview. In addition to judging his book, we explored the evolution of sex drive and aesthetic appreciation, genetics, the intersection of theoretical and experimental science, the potential of artificial intelligence, and more.
Tune in to learn about genes from one of the most prominent evolutionary biologists of our time!
