A thrilling tour of Earth that shows the search for extraterrestrial life starts in our own backyard.Is there life off Earth? Bound by the limitations of spaceflight, a growing number of astrobiologists investigate the question by studying life on our planet. Astronomer and author Jon Willis shows us how it's done, allowing readers to envision extraterrestrial landscapes by exploring their closest Earth analogs in The Pale Blue Data Point: An Earth-Based Perspective on the Search for Alien Life (U Chicago Press, 2025). With Willis, we dive into the Pacific Ocean from the submersible-equipped E/V Nautilus to ponder the uncharted seas of Saturn's and Jupiter's moons; search the Australian desert for some of Earth's oldest fossils and consider the prospects for a Martian fossil hunt; visit mountaintop observatories in Chile to search for the telltale twinkle of extrasolar planets; and eavesdrop on dolphins in the Bahamas to imagine alien minds.With investigations ranging from meteorite hunting to exoplanet detection, Willis conjures up alien worlds and unthought-of biological possibilities, speculating what life might look like on other planets by extrapolating from what we can see on Earth, our single “pale blue dot”—as Carl Sagan famously called it—or, in Willis's reframing, scientists' “pale blue data point.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Queridos Fans de la nave, hoy os traigo la obra visionaria de Johannes Kepler que se adelantó a su tiempo para convertirse en la primera novela de ciencia ficción de la historia. Kepler fue una figura clave de la Revolución Científica que sucedió entre los siglos XVI y XVII. Es recordado principalmente por haber descubierto las leyes que rigen el movimiento de los planetas de nuestro Sistema Solar. A través de un viaje astronómico sin precedentes, Kepler entrelaza conocimiento científico y fantasía, llevando al lector en una aventura hacia la Luna que desafía la percepción del universo en el siglo XVII. Esta narrativa fascinante no solo revela el ingenio y la imaginación de Kepler, sino que también sirve como un puente entre la ciencia y la literatura, invitando a explorar los límites del espacio y del conocimiento humano. Somnium es una lectura obligatoria para los amantes de la ciencia ficción y la astronomía. Hace más de cuatro siglos, un hombre escribió una historia en latín, y la escondió en los pliegues del tiempo. Su nombre era Johannes Kepler y su relato se llamó Somnium. Un sueño que viajó hasta la Luna, cuando aún era imposible tocarla. Allí, entre sombras y astros, Kepler imaginó criaturas, atmósferas y misterios… mucho antes de que existiera la palabra “ciencia ficción”. Según Carl Sagan e Isaac Asimov, 'Somnium', la novela corta del gran astrónomo Johannes Kepler es la primera novela de Ciencia Ficción de la historia. Aplicando sus conocimientos científicos, Kepler relata un fascinante viaje a la luna, con descripción de sus habitantes y, en especial, de la astronomía lunar. 🎙️ Un clásico anticipado al futuro, esta noche en Historias para ser leídas. Cierra los ojos. Estamos a punto de viajar.

Dek je mlajši in manjši od obeh potomcev poglavarja Yautij oziroma plemena Predatorjev, ki ga prezirajo zaradi domnevne šibkosti, za predstavnike te vrste pogubne lastnosti. Da bi se pred očetom dokazal, se odpravi na nevaren planet Genna, poln sovražnih sil, z željo pokončati neuničljivo pošast Kaliska. Tu sklene negotovo zavezništvo z androidko Thio, ki jo je na Genno poslala na raziskovalno odpravo znamenita korporacija Weyland-Yutani. Predator: Mrtva zemlja je sedmi celovečerec iz franšize Predator, oziroma deveti, če upoštevamo še dva ločena filma, v katerih se je zgodba povezala in oplajala s svetom franšize Osmi potnik. Na kinematografska platna je plenilska tujerodna pošast prvič prispela leta 1987, v obdobju, ko je Amerika še predelovala travmatično izkušnjo vietnamske vojne, in ga lahko razumemo kot prispodobo boja z nevidnim, močnejšim in spretnejšim nasprotnikom v džungli. V filmu se ekipa vrhunsko izurjenih plačancev odpravi v srednjeameriško državo reševat ugrabljene talce in ugotovi, da ima opravka z veliko nevarnejšim nasprotnikom kot le z lokalnimi gverilci. Z nasprotnikom, ki jih za lastno zabavo lovi in ubija enega za drugim. Obrazec se je ponovil že tri leta pozneje, kjer si je Predator za svoje lovišče izbral betonsko džunglo sodobnega in hkrati distopičnega Los Angelesa, v katerem so se za prevlado spopadale različne ulične tolpe. Film, ki je še vedno temeljil pretežno na akcijskih obrazcih z elementi znanstvene fantastike, ob premieri ni naletel na odobravanje, in naslednja generacija ustvarjalcev je začela raziskovati možnosti selitve na druge planete s pojasnjevanjem izvora in ustroja Predatorjev. Žanrsko gledano je začela prevladovati fantastika, z izjemo filma Plen (2022), ki je postavljen v 18. stoletje med prvobitne prebivalce Severne Amerike in ga je – tako kot letošnji animirani prispevek v franšizo Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) ter Mrtvo zemljo – režiral Dan Trachtenberg. Mrtva zemlja v jedru izhaja iz shakespearjanske družinske drame, vendar med vsemi dosedanjimi celovečerci najmočneje temelji na posebnih učinkih. Jasen je užitek ustvarjalcev ob ustvarjanju povsem novega sveta, v katerem živega človeka pravzaprav ni več – gre za svet različnih pošasti, Predatorjev in androidov, med katerimi se z dvojno vlogo izkaže igralka Elle Fanning. Posnemanje in sočutje Akcijsko gonilo filmov franšize Predator je kajpak razmerje med plenilcem in žrtvijo, oziroma bitka za preživetje in prevlada močnejšega nad šibkejšimi. Mrtva zemlja je dogajalno postavljena večinoma na planet Genna, ki vsaj po imenu sumljivo spominja na našo Geo, in celovečerec se tudi začne s prikazom te prehranske verige: žri, ali pa boš požrt. A hkrati se v nizu filmov izkaže tudi nepravilnost splošnega razumevanja Darwinovega izreka – v resnici ne preživi močnejši, ampak tisti, ki je bolj prilagodljiv. Kljub temu da bi po tej logiki Predator s svojo sposobnostjo mimikrije spadal v sam vrh piramide, naleti v filmih – od Arnolda Schwarzeneggerja konec 80. let dalje – vsakič znova na bitja, ki se znajo še učinkoviteje prilagoditi. Človek kot vrhovni plenilec torej? Spoznanje, ki v resnici ni prav zelo zakrito. A več kot pomenljiv je še en dejavnik: sposobnost sočutja in sklepanja zavezništev. Čeprav potekajo bitke in tekme tudi med različnimi podvrstami Predatorjev, se ta skozi franšizo izkaže za inteligentno bitje, ki presega samo morilsko strast – sposobno je učenja, razvoja in sočutja. In kot se pokaže na koncu Mrtve zemlje, tudi upora tradiciji očetov in ustvarjanja drugačnih skupnosti onkraj diskriminacije na podlagi vrste (spomniti velja, da so prvim Predatorjem že v tistem času očitali določeno mero rasizma). Sočutje skratka kot preoblikovalna, revolucionarna sila oziroma prava notranja moč. In tu nam pride na misel Elon Musk s svojo izjavo, da je sočutje temeljna šibkost zahodne civilizacije ... Ni si ga težko predstavljati kot predsednika brezdušne medgalaktične korporacije Weyland-Yutani, ki si v sledenju svojemu sloganu »Gradimo boljše svetove« niti malo ne pomišlja za svoje cilje uporabljati čisto zlo ... (Vprašanje dobrega in zla znotraj franšize Predator bi bilo res vredno posebne obravnave.) Umetna inteligenca in drugi svetovi »Dve možnosti obstajata,« je rekel Carl Sagan. »V vesolju smo sami ali pa nismo. Obe sta enako strašljivi.« Tako franšiza Osmi potnik kot Predator se ukvarjata z vprašanjem, kaj pa če … in sta vedno bolj očitno del istega univerzuma, v katerem je s tehnološkim razvojem in napredovanjem umetne inteligence močno prisotna korporacija Weyland-Yutani. S to je nenazadnje povezan, če smo pozorni na nekaj skritih namigov, tudi svet Iztrebljevalca. V retrospektivnem pogledu pade v oči zanimiva podrobnost, da sta se prva dva Predatorja pojavila na Zemlji ob vročinskih valovih. Skrito opozorilo pred pošastnostjo globalnega segrevanja je v desetletjih zamenjal strah pred umetno inteligenco, oziroma eksistencialna groza kozmosa, v katerem človeka sploh ni več, oziroma obstaja samo še kot algoritem v robotski kopiji samoučečih se androidov, pošasti pa si ustvarjajo svoje človečnjaške skupnosti ... Pesimistična ali optimistična napoved? V franšizi Predator se je ta vidik že večkrat obrnil, kar jo najbrž tudi ohranja živo. Piše: Gorazd Trušnovec Bere: Igor Velše

Late last month, President Trump announced that the United States would be restarting nuclear weapons tests after a break of over 30 years. We've since learned that they won't be the explosive kind of tests, but this sent us down a rabbit hole — where we found a story about dinosaurs, Carl Sagan, and nuclear war. Because there was a moment in the not-so-distant past when we learned what drove the dinosaurs extinct... and that discovery, made during the Cold War, may have helped save humans from the same fate.

In this raw ramble on Adulting with Autism, host April (autistic OT) chats with power duo Dr. Jessie & Omar Ferreira (A Soul's Quest founders) on flipping "everything right, feels wrong" to authentic quests—career/identity loss, anxiety loops, people-pleasing masks. Psychotherapist (Jessie) + youth dev leader (Omar) turned podcasters/authors (A Soul's Quest: A Transformational Approach to Life), they're blending modern psych (CBT journaling) with wisdom (universe knowing itself—Carl Sagan vibes) for midlife awakenings. Transcript gems: Anxiety vs. intuition (pause/feel—breathe through buzz), people-pleasing trap (microdose "no" via belonging quests—find aligned tribes), "why" loops to "what am I learning?" (rewire for growth), and "remembering the self" (unfold like a flower—express without conformity).

Put down your briefcase and put on your dancing shoes, everybody, because today on Script Apart – a podcast about the first-draft secrets of great movies and TV shows – Mike Flanagan is back, tap-dancing through the end times with me in celebration of The Life Of Chuck. As I put it in my feature for Empire Magazine earlier this year, when I covered the movie's theatrical release, the phrase “feel-good” isn't often associated with the apocalypse. Nor, to be honest, with Mike's work in general, as one of the streaming era's premier fright-masters – a writer-director whose output so far have included vampire priests (Midnight Mass), acid showers (Fall Of The House Of Usher) and some of the most harrowing small-screen deaths in recent memory (The Haunting Of Hill House, I am still not over you)."Feel-good" is not how you'd typically describe the icon of literary terror he's becoming closely associated with, either. The Life Of Chuck is the third time Mike has adapted the great Stephen King, after Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep (he also has new adaptations of Carrie and The Dark Tower on the way). But The Life Of Chuck is, nonetheless, as “feel-good” as apocalypse stories come. It stars Tom Hiddleston as an ordinary-looking man who mysteriously begins appearing on billboards as a divorced couple's leafy suburban existence is interrupted by a series of globe-threatening disasters. The mystery of “Who is Chuck?” propels a story more still and sentimental than many viewers might expect from Flanagan, from King, from the end of the world.In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Mike calls in from the set of Carrie, which he's in production on at the moment, to break down the film in extensive detail. We get into the meaning of the Carl Sagan-inspired monologue that Mike added to King's source text. We talk about the one detail in the film's transcendent dance sequence that breaks my heart just to think about. And of course, we touch on that moving, ambiguous ending and how it fits into a body of work that often involves locked rooms. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In an age of constant information, it's easy to feel lost in the noise. On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley welcomes back attorney and author Ronald Chapman II to discuss how to navigate our complex digital world and take back your own truth. Drawing on his experiences as a Marine Corps JAG officer and nationally recognized trial lawyer, Ronald offers practical ways to think clearly in an algorithm-shaped media landscape. He shares strategies from Truth and Persuasion: In the Digital Revolution, showing how recognizing cognitive biases and applying systems thinking can strengthen your narrative and leadership. Their conversation moves from the psychology of decision-making to the modern “tribes” formed by our media diets, with touchpoints to Daniel Kahneman, Carl Sagan, and Carl Jung's call to “make the unconscious conscious.” They explore how tailored messaging contributes to fragmentation—and why that matters for lawyers speaking to clients, teams, and juries. Ronald underscores the value of introspection and clear communication, encouraging critical thinking, grounded inputs, and well-researched information. As Ronald and Steve examine the interplay of truth and persuasion, they emphasize authentic dialogue with yourself and others. Ronald's reflections on his career and growth testify to the power of integrity in both personal and professional realms. They close with a call to embrace complexity, think deliberately, and lead with purpose. In this episode, you will hear: An exploration of truth and persuasion in the digital age, informed by Ronald's experience as a Marine Corps JAG officer and trial lawyer How cognitive biases and systems thinking can enhance personal narratives, legal strategy, and leadership The impact of algorithm-driven curation on individual perspectives and broader societal fragmentation Why media “diets” and tailored messaging create modern tribes—and what that means for juries, clients, and families System 1 vs. System 2 thinking (Kahneman) and practical ways to guard against snap judgments The role of authenticity, introspection, and Jung's “make the unconscious conscious” in maintaining integrity Practical steps to reclaim focus, choose better inputs, and communicate more persuasively in a fragmented environment Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

NASA, the crown jewel of 20th-century technocratic liberalism, was the first to land humans on the Moon but now depends on SpaceX for its access to space. Atlantic writer Franklin Foer believes this reflects a diminishment of national capability and that NASA was inadvertently responsible for its own decline. He traces this transformation from a collective pursuit of higher values to a more individualistic — and idiosyncratic — motivation based on utility and extraction, and ties it to a larger trend in American politics over the past 50 years. Along the way, Frank and host Casey Dreier discuss if Elon Musk is the antithesis of Carl Sagan, the tensions between individualism and collectivism in American politics, and the role of the romantic ideal in the symbolism of space exploration.

The Martian Craze: How Percival Lowell Created Canals on Mars | #131

Were the Martian canals real? For decades, some of the world's most respected astronomers and newspapers answered with a resounding YES. But how did a simple misunderstanding spiral into a global belief in an advanced, dying civilization on the Red Planet? This episode unwraps the incredible story of the turn-of-the-century Martian craze, a period when fact and fiction blurred, and humanity collectively looked to the stars, convinced someone was looking back. We explore how this mania began, who its biggest champions were, and how the idea of intelligent Martians shaped science and culture forever.This deep dive into the history of our obsession with Mars is guided by acclaimed author David Baron, whose book "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze That Captured Turn-of-the-Century America" chronicles this fascinating era. We begin with the story's surprising European origins, specifically with Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli and his 1877 observations of "canali" on the Martian surface. A critical mistranslation of Giovanni Schiaparelli canali (Italian for "channels") into "canals" in English ignited the public imagination with the possibility of artificial structures. This idea was popularized by French astronomer and author Camille Flammarion, but it was an American who would become the theory's most fervent and influential advocate: Percival Lowell.Born into a wealthy Boston family, Percival Lowell dedicated his fortune and his life to proving the existence of an intelligent Martian race. We detail the astonishingly complex Percival Lowell Mars theory, which proposed that Mars was an old, drying planet and its inhabitants had built a planet-wide irrigation system—the Martian canals—to channel water from the polar ice caps to their desert cities. To prove it, Lowell founded the iconic Lowell Observatory in Arizona and even funded a massive expedition to Chile to capture the first-ever photographs of the canals, which he presented as undeniable proof. This led to a major rift in the scientific community, dividing astronomers into "canalists" and "anti-canalists."The belief in Martians wasn't just confined to scientific circles; it exploded into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. We discuss the immense impact of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, a "scientific romance" that terrified and thrilled readers. Baron reveals how American newspapers, in a bout of Yellow Press sensationalism, pirated and serialized the story, localizing the invasion to New York and Boston and presenting it almost as a news report—a tactic Orson Welles would later famously use for his 1938 radio broadcast. The fervor grew so intense that in 1924, the U.S. military was convinced to enforce national radio silence to listen for signals from the Red Planet. So, what was the final nail in the coffin for the Martian canals? Baron explains how astronomer Eugène Michel Antoniadi's crystal-clear observations in 1909 and, ultimately, NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft flyby in the 1960s, finally disproved the theory, revealing a cratered, lifeless landscape where canals were once drawn. This entire episode serves as a powerful look into the turn-of-the-century Martian craze and how it left an indelible mark on science fiction, inspiring figures like Robert H. Goddard and Carl Sagan and shaping our dreams of outer space to this day.About Our Guest:David Baron is an author and science journalist who specializes in telling gripping historical tales about the history of astronomy.

Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode. In this episode, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders break down The Life of Chuck, the latest from Mike Flanagan, a favorite filmmaker among the Worn & Wound crew. The Life of Chuck is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella that is somewhat hard to describe. It follows the life of a single character through important stages of his life, with a story told in an extremely unconventional way, and is one of those movies that you'll want to discuss and dissect as soon as you get out of the theater. It's also a big left turn for Flanagan away from the horror genre, and feels like a much more personal statement. In this conversation, Zach and Kat break down the movie's structure and its key themes and scenes, and also rank their top three Mike Flanagan projects. They also talk about the importance of time as its portrayed in this movie, both in the way the story is told, and through a perfectly delivered Flanagan monologue that repurposes Carl Sagan's famous “Cosmic Calendar” principle. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

Carl Sagan wasn't a prophet, just a brilliant scientist who saw the writing on the wall decades ago. This episode unpacks his chillingly accurate predictions about America's descent into misinformation, scientific illiteracy, and a society where critical thinking is abandoned for superstition. We dive deep into how his warnings about issues like climate change were tragically ignored, highlighting the dangers of prioritizing profit over people and the urgent need for a return to reason. It's a stark reminder of the uphill battle against denial, and why teaching skepticism to future generations is our only hope against unchecked power and climate catastrophe.

Despite how secular most disciplines in the physical sciences are today, those who study nature assume that nature is intelligible and that it should be explored. But how does modern science actually explain what nature is saying to us? How do the explain that nature is intelligible to us at all? Is science the only way to understand the physical universe and everything it contains? From silvery meandering rivers to the variegated heavenly canopy of stars above us, all creation is speaking to us, but in the words of the late Dr. Carl Sagan, "Who speaks for Earth?" God does. And creation is His workmanship. He has revealed to us His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine glory, through what He has made. He has given us two books to know Him better, creation and the Bible. We should be diligent students of both. On the next two episodes of Good Heavens this month, we speak with someone who has exegeted the physical creation with great care and attention. His name is Seth Lewis and he is the author of a brilliant little book The Language of Rivers and Stars - How Nature Speaks of the Glories of God. Seth will share with us his insights and wisdom as to how he sees all of creation pointing us, drawing us, toward Christ. You can find out more about Seth and his work on his website: https://sethlewis.ie/2025/04/30/the-language-of-rivers-and-stars/ Here on part one we talk about how we can respond to God through creation and how we can sustain hope through the midst of the terrifying reality of natural disasters.

Most leading scientists agree that the old idea that life on Earth sprang into existence thanks to some happy accident 3.7 billion years ago is provably wrong. Top astronomers, such as Carl Sagan and the discoverer of DNA, Francis Crick, believe that life must have been deliberately planted here. And many biologists have suggested that there are large areas of our DNA that may contain a huge message for us to unlock. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler have spent 25 years studying the issue, and now, they have published irrefutable evidence that not only was DNA seeded on our planet but that the Earth, Moon, and the asteroid Ceres were carefully manipulated to ensure that living creatures on Earth would evolve and prosper in what amounts to a gigantic incubator. In this book, they provide details of the existence of conspicuous instructions on how to unlock the communication contained within our DNA coding. This short book will revolutionise how we think about the origin of life on Earth and our next steps of development. The evidence is overwhelming - checkable by anyone with a basic calculator. The data provided cannot be wrong, and the consequences are world-changing. Our species has arrived at a turning point, the originator of the message has carefully timed its discovery to this precise moment - when we have developed multiple ways of obliterating ourselves if left to our own devices. The call is made for a multi-disciplinary team of global experts to be assembled to carry out the mission of fully unlocking and implementing the contents of this message from the beginning of time.Christopher Knight is past chairman of companies from a UK national advertising agency of the year to a hi-tech augmented reality pioneer. He has a number of world-wide patents in the field of mobile communications. He is the author of many international best selling books from ‘The Hiram Key' in 1996, which went into The Sunday Times Top Ten list after just three days of sales, sold over two million copies in its first year and has been translated into over 40 languages.​For 25 years he has researched and written with Alan Butler in the field of ancient metrology and their book ‘Who Built the Moon?' was the acknowledged inspiration for the 2022 blockbuster movie ‘Moonfall' directed by Roland Emmerich.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
