In this episode, we travel from Stonehenge to Jodrell Bank and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to trace humanity’s obsession with the sky — from lifting megaliths to catching whispers of the Big Bang.

We start at Stonehenge, a Neolithic “star clock” aligned with the solstices, then fast-forward through millennia to stand beneath the 76 m Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank, and finally into the control rooms of the SKA: hundreds of dishes and over 100,000 antennas designed to detect the first stars and galaxies. The tools change — stones, steel, superconducting detectors — but the question stays the same: what is our place in the universe?

Topics:

* How Neolithic builders engineered and aligned Stonehenge with the Sun?

* Why Jodrell Bank became a Cold War–era listening post and a pulsar powerhouse?

* How pulsars, neutron stars, and the Crab Nebula became cosmic calibration tools?

* What the SKA will actually “hear” from the cosmic Dark Ages and first stars?

* How the Simons Observatory and SKA together will rewrite our map of the cosmos

Today, I'm speaking with Jaron Lanier, a pioneer in VR, about where it will take us next to expand human consciousness. In this wide-ranging conversation, Jaron Lanier explores how technology reshapes perception, identity, and the future of humanity. From the psychology of virtual reality to the energy demands of modern AI, we trace how today’s tools influence what it means to be human—and what kind of humans we might ultimately become.

James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what’s broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You’ll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized.

What You’ll Learn:

How universities can leverage AI-guided curiosity to revolutionize learning, according to James Altucher's vision for "Altucher University."

Why mastering communication skills—writing, speaking, negotiating—is crucial for career success, and why these skills are often neglected in traditional education.

Firsthand insights into how Brian Keating and James Altucher use AI daily for research, problem-solving, and creativity, along with practical examples from their personal and professional lives.

The economic and philosophical debates around AI's actual impact on industries, jobs, and the broader GDP, including its use in coding, media, and even farming.

The limitations of AI and large language models in science and creative work, and why critical thinking and prompt engineering remain essential—even as technology evolves.

James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what’s broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You’ll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized.

What You’ll Learn:

A practical AI workflow you can copy today (research prompts, personal “style” bots, and where LLMs fail at original insight).

A filter for political noise that keeps 99% of your happiness anchored in health, family, friends, and work you control.

What the UCSD admissions/placement findings really mean for preparation and standards (and why “remedial” can mask deeper gaps).

A simple admissions/common-sense principle: standards matter; “portfolio” evaluation shouldn’t ignore basic skills.

How to use AI without losing your own voice—James’ test for “write it in my style” and why generic outputs still fall short.

Timestamped Chapters:

[02:00] Loft event stories, comedy beats, and setting the tone for a heavy topic.

[05:00] NYC politics, leadership, and the “why would they vote for him?” question.

[07:32] Slogans vs. reality: chants, charters, and what words actually imply.

[09:30] Economics that sound nice vs. incentives that ruin cities.

[12:00] “Don’t outsource your happiness to politicians.” A sanity reset.

[20:48] Inside UCSD’s placement data: how did calculus passers miss first-grade algebra?

[30:02] Standards, SATs, and what “remedial” hides (plus grade inflation).

[77:49] How James and Brian actually use AI; “mad-bot disease” and why voice still matters.

What happens when a government abruptly cuts off the lifeline of pure science?

Imagine canceling Albert Einstein just before he published [E = mc².

Terence Tao, the “Mozart of Mathematics,” was one of the unlucky researchers hit when the Trump administration suddenly terminated his federal research funding.

Today, I walk and talk with Tao at UCLA to understand how America’s greatest living mathematician found himself blindsided by a bureaucratic earthquake — and what it means for the future of discovery.

This is Part 1 of our deep dive into Tao’s work, his warnings about the collapse of U.S. research infrastructure, and why mathematics is the unseen root system supporting all of modern technology.

🕒 TIMESTAMPS

00:00 – *“Canceling Einstein”* — Tao’s funding cut

00:22 – Who is Terence Tao?

01:17 – Grants suspended without warning

01:27 – New hurdles for international scholars

01:38 – UCLA’s sudden funding freeze

04:01 – Trivial reasons for cancellations

04:18 – Policy without process

05:06 – Do we need new funding models?

05:27 – Why federal stability matters

05:52 – The limits of philanthropy

08:42 – Math as the root of modern tech

09:11 – Prizes and public perception

11:35 – The seven great unsolved problems

12:13 – The Navier–Stokes question

12:57 – The problem with prize-driven secrecy

13:37 – Collaboration over competition

If you care about ideas, discovery, and the future of knowledge itself — this conversation matters.

Part 2 drops soon. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb returns to break down the newest data on 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar object captivating the world — and triggering fierce debate among scientists. In this extended conversation, Loeb responds directly to recent public criticism from Brian Cox, Jason Wright, and others, clarifies what the data actually show, and explains why humility and open inquiry remain essential to the scientific method.

The latest images of the interstellar object show a single intact body, a sunward jet, and energy requirements that challenge familiar comet models. These anomalies have ignited one of the most heated scientific debates of the decade.

We explore the latest observations since 3I/ATLAS’ October 29 perihelion:

• Why its jets, brightness, and spectral changes are so unusualt

• What would distinguish natural sublimation from technological propulsiont

• How its orbit, size, and mass budget challenge standard modelst

• Why the public response matters for the future of sciencet

• How criticism of scientific inquiry mirrors the historical treatment of Galileot

Follow Avi's latest findings and discoveries here https://avi-loeb.medium.com/3i-atlas-is-still-a-single-body-with-a-sunward-anti-tail-after-perihelion-667fe41c0071

In this livestream, Avi will address:

• Why the post-perihelion images complicate the natural-comet interpretationt

• Whether a technological origin is still on the tablet

• Why critics insist the anomalies are trivial — and why Avi argues they’re nott

• How scientific consensus forms, breaks, and evolves under stresst

• What the new mass-flux and energy calculations imply for 3I/ATLASt

We’ll explore the science, the skepticism, and the stakes — and we’ll take live audience questions from channel members. Join our esteemed set of members here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join

Whether you’re convinced, skeptical, or undecided, this is the conversation the public deserves: open, rigorous, and unfiltered.

Is hype culture killing science? 

In this episode of Into the Impossible, I welcome back physicist Lawrence Krauss for a candid conversation on hype, being wrong, and the impact of AI on the field of physics. Krauss is a theoretical physicist, award-winning NYT bestselling author, and host of The Origins Podcast. He shares how data forced him to change his mind on dark energy and the Higgs boson, and why science’s strength lies in its willingness to adapt.

We explore the hype around quantum gravity, the limits of knowledge revealed by Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, and whether AI can ever truly discover new laws of physics. From black holes to the fate of cosmic intelligence, Krauss takes us to the edge of what we know, and beyond.
