Episode Details

What if the biggest mystery isn’t the Big Bang, but why anything exists at all? In this condensed version of Into The Impossible, Brian Keating and a physicist guest explore cosmology, time, inflation, the cosmic microwave background, and the Simons Observatory while asking whether time is emergent and whether the universe really came from nothing. The conversation also touches on AI, misinformation, UAPs, and the importance of evidence over belief. From the full episode to a concise recap, you’ll learn how scientists reconstruct the early universe, why the arrow of time matters, and what physics can—and can’t—explain. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
