I first heard Seth in his TED talk where he made a very grand prediction that we will hear from aliens in the next decade so it was exciting to hear that he still believes this to be true. See more from Dr Seth Shostak #sethshostak Website: https://www.seti.org/our-scientists/seth-shostak  Further Reading and Resources:This episode is based on Invasion of the Body Snachers by Jack Finney and can be purchased here.ET is (probably) out there -- get ready - Seth Shostak Follow Widdershins and please Rate and Review us in your favourite Podcast app so others can easily find Widdershins! Visit our website: www.widdershinspodcast.com/ for member-only access and merchandise Facebook: www.facebook.com/WiddershinsPodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/WiddershinsP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wid...

He has published hundreds of research papers and review articles across a range of scientific fields. He is also well-known as a media personality and science populariser in several countries.Professor Davies is the author of Demon In The Machine which, in the very first chapter, begins with the question ‘What is life?’ so I naturally had to begin with the question of panspermia, which is the theory which suggests that life on Earth did not originate on our planet. Big questions were tackled this week as we dove into our origins, whether or not we are alone and the hunt for a new earth.See more from Professor Paul Davies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhysicistPaulDavies/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-davies-33634114  Website: http://cosmos.asu.edu/  Further Reading and Resources:This episode ...

How and why the U.S. government—and other governments around the world—have dealt with the UFO phenomenon during most of a century is the focus of this historical inquiry.We cover a lot of ground in this episode including the real-life x-files, how many sightings are legitimate and the most convincing, the element 115, the government, and the future with aliens.See more from Robert ...
