    Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich are joined by resident astrophysicist Paul Wallace who educates us on the search for other habitable planets, a wild new theory called the Anti-Universe, and how the end of the universe as we know it - The Big Crunch - might come sooner than we thought (don't worry, not for at least 65 million years).
