The universe hums a low, steady note...or so we were told. Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist from the University of Antwerp, joins us in that quiet static, where light and truth blur at the edges. We talk of cosmic beginnings, instrument design, of warmth beneath the skies, of radio echoes mistaken for the birth of everything. In that hum, between curiosity and doubt, the cosmos seems to ask who’s really paying attention.

CORRECTION NOTE: Dr. Robitaille wishes it to be known that when he says "titanium" on our phone call he should have said "titanium dioxide."
