Description
On this episode, we are sharing our thoughts on Infinity with the help of our new telescope Vespera! Stargazing can be a very useful tool for your mental health and a good dose of reality and humility of just how infinite the universe is. We also share our latest books we're listening to from Carl Sagan & Andy Weir, as well as the latest image from JWST, and our thoughts about the potential alien life out there. What do YOU think? Let us know in the comments! Big Quesions/Thoughts for this episode: How big is infinity? Do we even have the mental capacity to truly understand how infinite it really is? What is it about stargazing and constellations that has the power to change humanity through storytelling and culture? Is there Alien life out there? What's your favorite sci-fi first contact book or movie? Do I have to be the smartest person in the room to consider myself a good scientist or engineer? Or is there more to it than that? We'd love to know your thoughts and questions!
