    Was the universe made for life? - AlwaysAsking.com

    Was the universe made for life? In other words, were physical laws and constants of nature somehow chosen to allow for complex life? Over the last century, physicists and cosmologists made a series of disturbing discoveries: cosmic coincidences. They found that parameters of nature and physical law seen specially crafted to make life possible. What are the implications? Are we just very lucky? Was the universe designed for us. Or, might it imply the existence of other unseen universes. In this episode we review the latest data and theories to find answers to these questions.

    Is there life after death? - AlwaysAsking.com

    Is there an afterlife or is this the only life we get? Most believe science says there is no afterlife. But this view, while common, is wrong. In today's episode, we will consider the question of what we experience after death. Is there an afterlife? Do we resurrect to heaven, reincarnate as another being, unite with god, or might we experience nothing at all? Modern scientific theories have shed mew light on this age-old question and the answers will amaze you.

    What is time? - AlwaysAsking.com

    What is time? Few things are so familiar and mysterious. Time is the most common noun in the English language. Our lives are governed by time, and yet we have so little understanding of it. In today's episode, we will consider what science has to tell us about time. We find that it is stranger than anyone could have imagined, at least, anyone before Einstein.

    Can aging be cured? - AlwaysAsking.com

    Can aging be cured? Eternal youth has long been a dream. Now, through modern science, humanity is on the verge of curing aging and achieving immortality. We’ve extended lifespans of organisms ten-fold, used drugs to shave years off people’s age, reprogrammed cells to become youthful, and we are developing tools that could one day enable digital immortality. Is it possible to live forever, should we even try? This episode explores those questions.

    When will AI take over? - AlwaysAsking.com

    Artificial Intelligence has achieved extraordinary feats. Given the current state and trajectory of AI, for how much longer can humans remain the most intelligent creature on Earth? This episode explores that question. We review the areas where AI has already achieved superhuman abilities, and cover the dwindling areas where humans still hold an edge. It is a most-pressing question. Though we have held the title of “most intelligent species” for a hundred thousand years, we could be relieved of this title in a few decades.
