Episode 07 features a compelling discussion with particle physicist Dr. James Beacham, offering a critical lens on the current trajectory of space exploration. We look at the absurdity of the Blue Origin space launch, and Dr. Beacham delves into a crucial critique of the increasing privatisation of space through capitalist endeavours. He raises pertinent questions about the ethical implications and potential for further exploitation of both people and the planet by billionaires venturing into this new frontier. Beyond this timely analysis, the episode also explores profound cosmological concepts, such as the intriguing hypothesis of whether our universe exists inside a black hole, and engages with the ongoing search for meaning in modern science within this vast cosmic context. Join us for a thought-provoking episode that bridges cutting-edge physics with critical social commentary.
