    I Went From Stonehenge to the SKA: 5,000 Years of Cosmic Curiosity In 45 minutes

    Please join my mailing list here 👉 https://briankeating.com/yt for your chance to win a meteorite 💥 What connects a 5,000-year-old stone circle to the most ambitious radio telescope ever built? 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 Timestamps: 00:00 Stonehenge introduction and the mystery of its construction 01:56 Transport and engineering of the Sarsen and bluestones 05:34 Stonehenge as a solar-aligned cosmic calendar 08:00 Transition from Stone Age to modern astronomy at Jodrell Bank 09:15 Lovell Telescope history and its role in tracking Sputnik 20:00 Overview of the SKA and its global scientific mission 44:23 From ancient stones to radio telescopes: the shared human quest to understand the cosmos Thanks to the incredible staff of Jodrell Bank for their hospitality!

    AI That Helps, Schools That Don't, and How Not to Go Crazy on The James Altucher Show

    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.

    Terry Tao: “Trump CUT My Funding.” Here's how I am going to react.

    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 03:00 – Was Tao targeted? 03:38 – Arbitrary rule-changing 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.

    Avi Loeb Fights Back: Response to Brian Cox & the 3I/ATLAS Critics

    Become a channel member to ask questions! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join 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. 📚 Get a copy of my books: Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner, with life changing interviews with 9 Nobel Prizewinners: https://a.co/d/03ezQFu My tell-all cosmic memoir Losing the Nobel Prize: http://amzn.to/2sa5UpA The first-ever audiobook from Galileo: Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems: Ptolemaic and Copernican https://a.co/d/iZPi9Un Follow me to ask questions of my guests: 🏄‍♂️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list; just click here http://briankeating.com/list ✍️ Detailed Blog posts here: https://briankeating.com/blog 🎙️ Listen on audio-only platforms: https://briankeating.com/podcast #universe #podcast #briankeating #intotheimpossible #science #astronomy #cosmology #cosmicmicrowavebackground #intotheimpossible #briankeating Learn more about your ad choices.
