Into the Impossible With Brian Keating

➡️ WIN A METEORITE:https://briankeating.com/list
 

—

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)
Internet hate, constructive criticism, and the scientific method (42:01)
More on Interstellar and what it means to become an interstellar species (1:10:56)
Elon Musk’s plan to make humankind interplanetary (1:15:12)
On space archaeology (1:21:08)
Rapid fire audience questions (1:39:20)

Brian Keating and James Altucher have an unfiltered talk on humility, arrogance, and the strange mix of traits needed to achieve great things. From the wisdom of the Talmud to the Dunning–Kruger effect, they explore why even Nobel Prize winners wrestle with imposter syndrome.

James shares how writing books requires a mix of blind confidence and humility, while Brian connects scientific resilience to obsession, quests, and flow states. The two also talk candidly about the challenges of writing and publishing science books in today’s world—and Brian previews his bold new project exploring Jim Simons, “Chern–Simons Theory,” and the very arrow of time itself.

What You’ll Learn

 Why success requires balancing humility with courage—and sometimes arrogance with ignorance

 How Nobel Prize winners secretly struggle with imposter syndrome

 Why writing books demands both blind confidence and ruthless editing

 The difference between obsession and quest when pursuing success

 What “Chern–Simons Theory” reveals about time, space, and the structure of the universe

From Pipe Bombs to Viagra: Nobel Prize Winner’s Secrets Revealed

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins Brian Keating to discuss a groundbreaking observation: the HiRISE camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has imaged 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar visitor, from the vantage point of Mars.

In this episode, we explore:

 • What HiRISE detected and why it matters for planetary science.
 • How interstellar objects like ʻOumuamua and 3I/ATLAS challenge our theories.
 • Why Mars may become an ideal outpost for detecting future interstellar visitors.
 • The implications for astrobiology, planetary defense, and our search for extraterrestrial technology.

✨ Just as the 1977 “Wow! Signal” jolted radio astronomers with a one-time unexplained burst, 3I/ATLAS may be its optical cousin—an anomalous, fleeting, but potentially transformative messenger. Loeb even calculated that 3I/ATLAS’s trajectory passed within about one degree of the Wow! Signal’s sky position, making the connection more than metaphorical. Ignoring such rare alignments risks repeating history: anomalies slip through our fingers while orthodoxy insists nothing unusual happened. The Wow! Signal warned us of the danger of complacency; 3I/ATLAS reminds us that cosmic surprises often lurk at the margins of expectation, carrying lessons we may miss if we force every mystery into old categories.

🚀 EXCLUSIVE: Avi Loeb Reveals What HiRISE Just Saw on Mars! 🌌

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.

Is AI our partner in evolution, or is it a harbinger of our downfall?

In this episode of Into the Impossible, I sit down with two brilliant minds to explore the current and future relationship between artificial intelligence, human evolution, and creativity. Blaise Agüera y Arcas, a leading AI researcher, and Benjamin Bratton, philosopher and theorist, bring their unique insights to this conversation. Together, we discuss how AI is not here to replace us but to reshape what it means to be human, through symbiosis rather than competition. 

We explore the concept of the hardware lottery, the role of randomness and creativity in both human brains and machines, and how AI can help us rethink the concept of evolution itself. From quantum computing to AI’s future in medicine and education, this conversation explores the big questions shaping tomorrow’s world.

For over a century, cosmologists have believed that the universe began a single fiery moment. The Big Bang. But what if that story is incomplete?

Or what if it's even wrong? 

My guest today, Professor Niayesh Afshordi, is a professor of astrophysics at the Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo.

He and his colleague Bill Halpern argue that the real battle in science is over the mysteries of singularities, those points where our equations collapse and space, time and physics itself seem to break down.

In a new book, Battle of the Big Bang, they take us inside the fight to understand whether the Big Bang was truly the beginning of it all, or whether it was just one chapter in a far stranger cosmic saga.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

00:00:00 – Cosmologists no longer see the Big Bang as the beginning of time

00:11:01 – Singularity vs the later hot Big Bang phases like nucleosynthesis

00:12:13 – Survey of physicists shows “Big Bang” is understood differently

00:15:37 – Hawking and singularities

00:23:12 – Black hole information paradox remains unresolved after 50 years

00:30:26 – Religion remains a social tool

00:35:56 – The Simons Observatory was created to probe primordial gravitational waves in the CMB

00:39:50 – Scientific careers are constrained by funding and “hot topics” in research

00:41:17 – Science advances by tying ideas to observation, not just social structures

00:42:07 – Disagreement with Carlo Rovelli

00:44:54 – Competing quantum gravity models are ideas, not fully testable theories yet

00:46:14 – String theory, loop quantum gravity, and holography lack experimental evidence

00:47:55 – Cancellation of CMB Stage-4 highlights limits of experimental cosmology

00:49:14 – Afshordi views himself closer to an observer than a pure theorist

00:54:51 – Scientific progress benefits from bridging between communities

00:57:47 – Repulsive gravity in inflation avoids singularities but leaves open loopholes

01:01:00 – Singularity theorems can break down with quantum gravity or altered dimensions

01:03:05 – Our universe was born inside a black hole

01:06:16 – Future probes might let us see further back than the CMB

01:10:56 – Einstein unknowingly started the quest for quantum gravity

Are We Wrong About the Big Bang? Niayesh Afshordi

Also available as a video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/y0_ePN7c1gw
What is parity and how can it be violated?
A striking asymmetry in the arrangements of galaxies in the sky has been announced. If confirmed, the finding would point to features of the unknown fundamental laws that operated during the Big Bang.
“If this result is real, someone’s going to get a Nobel Prize,” said Marc Kamionkowski, a physicist at Johns Hopkins University who was not involved in the analysis.
Brian Keating and Oliver Philcox discuss the large scale structure of the universe and how enigmatic space tetrahedrons, drawn between galaxies, may map out some key features of the most poorly-understood phases of early big bang cosmology.
Oliver Philcox is a theoretical physicist interested in statistical cosmology. He obtained his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Cambridge’s Institute of Astronomy before spending a year in Harvard’s Center for Astrophysics. He is a Junior Fellow in the Simons Society of Fellows, hosted at Columbia University.
