Bread

Lau & I discuss themes in video games, literature, and more!  Notes: Some background noise

Topics:  Trappist Star System,  non-carbon based life forms, Carl Sagan & Jupiter Jellyfish, reincarnation & life after death, the pineal gland, a telescope the size of a planet, & more Comments:  Part two of our conversation. The heater does keep cutting on and off, so the audio isn't perfect in wither one of this series. I continue to be slow on the uptake with the science, and talk about my bike going the speed of light. 

Bread the Second: Lau & Robin Chart the Stars Topics:  Aliens, the moon, ancient civilizations, Fermi paradox, oxidation of planets. The Northern Lights. Proxima B. Can we colonize Proxima B? How can humans avoid mass extinction?  Comments:  Audio is quiet at times. Heater cuts on and off, and the mic picks it up. But it was such a good conversation that I had to post it. I'm really slow with science but eventually I get it!
