What happens when 3I/ATLAS dives toward the Sun? One signature could expose interstellar origins, hidden composition, and non-gravitational forces at play. Loeb pinpoints what to watch: abrupt brightening vs. erosion, outgassing asymmetry, and dust-to-gas shifts that defy textbook comets. 

If it flares the “wrong” way, the implications are seismic—on formation models, radiation-driven activity, even interstellar visitors. Miss this, and you’ll miss the moment the solar corona turns a mystery object into a lab experiment. 

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins me to discuss the latest revelations about interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as it makes its closest approach to Mars. From HiRISE images to unusual chemistry, polarization anomalies, and even a potential link to the Wow! Signal, this conversation explores whether 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet or a possible technological artifact. Along the way, we cover censorship from Galileo to today’s UAP debates, the “Sputnik moment” of interstellar objects, and what a global response might look like.

The genetic differences we obsess over. The basis for nationalism, racism and tribal thinking emerged in just the last 70,000 years. David Reich is about to show us that the past is far stranger, more violent, and more interconnected than we could ever have imagined. 90% population replacements happened in just a few centuries in the blink of a cosmic eye. David and his team reconstructed human migration patterns and discovered ghost populations, entire civilizations that vanished without any archeological trace. These people built Stonehenge. These people crossed into the Americas. These people left no trace who they are, except for the code that lurks within each of us.

What if cells from your own trachea sitting in a petri dish right now, could spontaneously organize into swimming robots that heal brain tissue? What if frog skin cells with no genetic modification whatsoever, could build copies of themselves from spare parts lying around?

This isn't science fiction. This is the work of Michael Levin at Tufts University and is completely rewriting the rules of biology.

Michael Levin's research challenges our fundamental understanding of what life is and where biological properties emerge from. Michael Levin is a distinguished biologist at Tufts University and director of the Allen Discovery Center, whose groundbreaking research on bio electricity and regenerative biology is reshaping our understanding of how biological systems process information and pursue goals. 

His Xenobots, living robots built from frog cells, swim around, work together, and reproduce in ways that have never existed on Earth.

Could Biological Robots Heal Us from the Inside? | Michael Levin

Please join my mailing list here 👉 https://briankeating.com/yt to win a meteorite 💥

What if 85% of the universe is invisible—and the one experiment claiming to have found it is wrong? 

For nearly three decades, Italian physicists have claimed their DAMA/LIBRA experiment detected the elusive particles that make up dark matter—the mysterious substance holding galaxies together. Yet no one else has ever confirmed it.

Join Brian Keating, UCSD cosmologist and host of The INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE Podcast, as he visits Kaixuan Ni and his team—scientists building the world’s most sensitive detectors deep underground—to uncover:

 • ⚛️ How detectors using liquid xenon can “fingerprint” single atomic collisions.
 • 💡 Why dark matter’s “heartbeat” signal divided physicists for 30 years.
 • ☢️ How dark-matter detectors are now being repurposed to detect nuclear weapons and monitor reactors remotely.
 • 🌞 The shocking discovery of solar neutrinos and ultra-rare nuclear decays—phenomena rarer than the age of the universe itself.

This is the invisible architecture of reality—where cosmology meets particle physics, and theory meets obsession.

📍 Filmed at UC San Diego’s Mayer Hall and Harold Urey Hall — home to experiments that may finally prove what 85% of the cosmos is made of.

👇 Watch till the end to see how a failed dark-matter search could save the world from nuclear war.

Today's guest made bacteria immune to every virus that exists. This breakthrough could revolutionize medicine by creating virus proof cell therapies and potentially extending this protection to human cells. Also demonstrating that we can fundamentally rewrite the language of life itself, something that was previously thought impossible.

George Church is a Harvard Medical School genetics professor and pioneer of synthetic biology. He's an entrepreneur who's found in multiple biotech companies and is known for pushing the boundaries between science fiction and reality. His team just did something that sounds like pure science fiction.

They made living cells completely immune to every virus on Earth. That resistant immune, every single virus that tries to infect your cells just fails.
The viruses can't evolve around it. Here's the wild part. They didn't add anything new. They just removed a few letter from the genetic alphabet. But George isn't stopping there. He wants to do this to human cells. He's talking about engineering astronauts for Mars missions, bringing back wooly mammoths, and maybe even, just maybe, making humans virus proof to the implications are staggering.

The ethics are murky. And the timeline. Well, if church's track record tells us anything is happening far faster than we think.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

00:00:00 – Church’s team made cells virus-proof, a major medical breakthrough
00:02:34 – Radiation resistance may come from DNA repair linked to desiccation
00:04:43 – A few genes can boost bacteria’s radiation resistance
00:07:16 – Panspermia is unlikely due to harsh space conditions
00:10:50 – Space travel may need biological, not just physical, changes
00:14:19 – Regenesis explores synthetic biology's potential
00:18:19 – Height involves many genes, but single ones can have big effects
00:20:57 – Once sci-fi, genome sequencing and pig organs are now real
00:23:20 – Church and Venter are more collaborators than rivals
00:27:17 – Rewriting genes can create virus-proof organisms
00:35:36 – DNA can store data, but reading/writing is slow
00:41:06 – Gattaca and Jurassic Park portray genetics well with small flaws
00:44:03 – Gene therapies can be affordable for all
00:46:44 – Stem cells can create any body cell for therapy
00:49:15 – “Mirror humans” are possible but avoided ethically
00:53:59 – Genomic privacy isn’t an issue since we shed DNA constantly
00:56:09 – Gene editing helps endangered species adapt, not revive extinct ones
01:00:30 – Virus-proof humans are possible, but tough to deliver to all cells
01:02:59 – Gene therapies could reverse aging at the cellular level
01:04:18 – Church avoids saying “impossible,” but admits to timeline optimism

Once again, I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the most famous and perhaps the most controversial astrophysicists in the world – Avi Loeb! 

For those of you who don't know him, Avi is a professor of science at Harvard University, theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, and cosmologist. He is also a bestselling author and a dear friend of mine. 

By the time you see this, Avi will have published his new book, Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars. In it, he explains why we need to become an interstellar species to ensure our survival and lays out a plan for how we can settle among the stars.

As usual, we take some time to judge a book by its cover and discuss what went into the making of this book. We also dig into the recent Galileo Project expedition to the Pacific Ocean to retrieve spherules of the first recognized interstellar meteor, IM1, which was led by Avi, and discuss whether they found evidence of alien life. 

Judging a book by its cover: Interstellar (00:44)
On extraordinary evidence (08:13)
Does Avi have proof of alien life?! (13:55)
On David Grusch and government obligations (28:01)
