Are we alone in the universe?
This question has intrigued thinkers for centuries. Now, we finally have the tools and theoretical frameworks to explore the possibility of alien life scientifically. But how far have we come in our search? And are we close to finally finding our otherworldly neighbors?
Here today to help us answer these questions is none other than Professor Adam Frank. Adam is an astrophysicist and astrobiologist at the University of Rochester. His ground-breaking work has transformed our understanding of the universe and life itself.
In this episode of Into the Impossible, we explore the scientific frontier of detecting aliens, the incredible potential of new technologies like the JWST, and how to evaluate extraordinary claims about UFOs and other phenomena.
