The Vastness of Space

Does life exist beyond the confines of our planet?  In 1950, Enrico Fermi conducted a thought experiment where he estimated the number of habitable planets in our galaxy and concluded that the galaxy should be teaming with life.  However, no sign of life had been observed despite our search for it.   This became known as the Fermi Paradox.  In this episode we discuss possible solutions to the Fermi Paradox as the first of several steps on our journey to search for new life in the universe and the possible avenues humanity may be able to transverse as we seek it out. Support the show

The only historical reference to the lost continent  of Atlantis is found in the final dialogs written by the Greek philosopher Plato.  In the first of three intended dialogs, Timaeus lays out creation of the universe and establishes the foundations of government detailed in Plato's early work: Republic.  The second dialog, Critias, discusses a possible historical account of the distant nation of Atlantis including some description of its might and of its destruction.  The end of Critias has been lost to time and the third dialog, Hermocrates, was likely never completed due to Plato's death.  Is there enough descriptions of this lost kingdom to find clues in the ancient world and discover its final location or was Atlantis a fabricated element to serve a purpose in Plato's dialogs?Support the show
