How did it all begin? How did this universe in which we live come to be? The story begins in the early 20th century with Georges LeMaitre who originated the concept that an expanding universe could be extrapolated back to a point. Then came the observations of Edwin Hubble that indicated rather clearly that the universe was indeed expanding. Then there were other discoveries, such as the cosmic mi...

John Michael Godier and Brian Keating discuss the experiment he designed to look at the physics of the big bang as well as why he rushed releasing his findings. Brian Keating is a professor of physics and author of Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science's Highest Honor. Do We Live In A Multiverse?

Why is Betelgeuse dimming? Is Betelgeuse about to explode? Betelgeuse is a variable red super giant star located in the Orion constellation. Most estimations have it going supernova within the next 100,000 years, but could it be sooner? Dr. Edward Guinan has been studying Betelgeuse and other variable stars from Villanova for over 40 years. He joins John Michael Godier to discuss his recent update...

How Long Will Human Civilization Last? When did the Anthropocene start? Looking for life on Europa and Pluto, do ice shell worlds have a better chance for life than terrestrial worlds? Dr. David Grinspoon is an Astrobiologist, author, and Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute.

What are quasars? Are Black Holes Really Black? Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick, astrophysicist at the University of Kansas, recently announced her discovery of cold quasars a new object in the field of astronomy — galaxies featuring an abundance of cold gas that can produce new stars despite having a quasar at the center. The breakthrough finding overturns assumptions about the end state of galaxies and...

A discussion with New Horizons Principal Investigator Alan Stern of the mission to explore Pluto and if Pluto can support life.

What is the Simulation Theory? Is Artificial Intelligence Possible? John Michael Godier in a discussion with Isaac Arthur host of Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur, discuss what the anthropic principle is. As well as the what a Boltzmann Brain is, the idea of a single brain spontaneously forming in a void and dreaming all of us. They also discuss Nick Bostrom simulation theory, specifically t...

This past weekend Skylias moderated a debated between John Michael Godier and Fraser Cain over their Fermi paradox theories. If there are aliens where are they? The Fermi paradox theory asks where are the alien civilizations in the galaxy? And in the universe. If they exist. Where are the extraterrestrials? The VOD of the Fermi Paradox debate on Skylias's stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/4...

John Michael Godier and Brian Keating discuss the earliest moments of our Universe and whether future findings will lead to the discovery of a multiverse. Brian Keating is a professor of physics at the Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences (CASS) in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego and author of Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and...

John is joined by Christian Ready of Launchpad Astronomy to discuss if life can exist around red dwarf stars. And once red dwarfs become blue dwarfs what the universe will be like. Red dwarfs, the most common type of star, can live for trillions of years. The two closest extra solar planets to the Sun, Proxima Centauri and Barnard's star, each can potentially be habitable planets (Proxima b an...

Does intelligent alien life exist? Answering the question of are we alone has turned out to be a bit more difficult than was originally envisioned when SETI first began decades ago. At first it was a matter of looking for giant omnidirectional beacons blasting out high energy messages, much like what we saw in the movie contact. But as we’ve gone through the process of searching, it’s becoming evi...

Do red dwarf stars host life potentially solving the fermi paradox, and would the James Webb Space telescope find signs of intelligent alien life or biosignatures? Could life exist on Jupiter's moon Europa? David Kipping is the Assistant Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University, where he researches extrasolar planets and moons. Dr. Kipping his team at the Cool Worlds Lab at Columbia, incl...

In this episode of Event Horizon, John Michael Godier is joined by SETI scientist Benji Fields to explore one of the most intriguing optical SETI searches to date. Using archival data from the HARPS spectrograph, Fields walks through how his research identified three unexplained laser-like signal candidates after systematically ruling out cosmic rays, atmospheric effects, instrumental artifacts, a...

With the recent findings of seasonal methane blooms on Mars and now unusual readings of unexplained oxygen levels, the question of "is there microbiological life on the red planet?" goes unanswered. In 1976, NASA sent Viking 1 and Viking 2 with four types of biological experiments. Of these experiments, the Labeled Release Experiment returned positive results on both landers, however the...
