Think like a physicist. Wonder like a human. Into the Impossible is where Cosmic Conversations happen — uniting Nobel Prize winners, iconoclasts, authors, and technologists to explore reality’s deepest questions. From AI to aliens, from biophysics to the brain, from the cosmos to the multiverse, Brian Keating, Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego covers it all.
If you’ve ever asked What’s out there? or What’s next?, this is where curiosity meets clarity.

Join us LIVE with Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb for the final verdict on the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed visitor from beyond our solar system. We examine the newly proposed 14th anomaly: the remarkably rare alignment of 3I/ATLAS’s rotation axis within about 8 degrees of the sunward direction at distances greater than 5 AU, a configuration with a probability of less than about 0.5 percent if random.

This alignment has major implications for how we interpret the object’s anti-tail jet geometry, rotational dynamics, and overall physical behavior, adding to a growing list of anomalies that strain standard cometary explanations. Whether you are interested in jets, rotation periods, anti-tail physics, or what these observations imply about natural versus technological origins, this livestream offers a rigorous, evidence-driven deep dive. We will lay out the data, compare competing interpretations, and ask the central question: is 3I/ATLAS simply an unusual comet, or something fundamentally different?

Avi Loeb: What Is 3I/ATLAS?

Pilgrimage mode: kilt on, chapeau secured, and I’m standing outside 14 India Street, Edinburgh — the birthplace of the physicist I’d nominate as the quiet GOAT: James Clerk Maxwell.

In this solo vlog, I walk the neighbourhood where Maxwell grew up, try (and fail) to get into the small museum without a reservation, and connect the dots from Maxwell’s equations to the modern world: Wi-Fi, GPS, power grids, and yes… a Tesla charging across the street from his childhood home.

CHAPTERS

00:00 Kilted pilgrimage begins
00:32 Maxwell’s Edinburgh origin story (and my museum plea)
01:27 Tesla charging across from Maxwell’s house
02:24 The prodigy years + Cambridge arc
03:00 Maxwell as “natural philosopher” + why he matters now
04:33 “Let there be light” (and what the equations really changed)
06:25 Ether, gears, and the bridge to modern physics

What Really Happened In Antarctica? Julian Dorey x Brian Keating

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

Jaron Lanier: VR Will Expand Human Consciousness

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.

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

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.

Part 2 drops soon. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

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

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.
