21 New Tabby's Stars with Dr. Edward Schmidt

2025/10/04

In 2015, the story of Tabby’s Star, named after discoverer Dr. Tabetha Boyajian, captivated the science news cycle for months with one idea being that the dimming and dipping of the star could be be of an alien civilization building a dyson sphere or constructing a dyson swarm.Up until recently, Tabby's star was so far the only known star to show such unusual slow dimming.Dr. Edward Schmidt is a professor emeritus at the University Nebraska-Lincoln having taught physics and astronomy for over 40

What are some of the currently unanswered questions about space. The unknown objects in space, such as. What is beyond the event horizon of a black hole? Does Planet nine exist? What is planet nine’s orbit? Is planet nine a black hole? And what is the answer to the Fermi paradox? As well as if comet borisov and other interstellar objects could be examples of planet nine.Dr. Becky joined John Michael Godlier on Event Horizon to discuss these questions which she discusses in her new book Space: 10

Could alien probes already be watching us from inside our own solar system? John Michael Godier speaks with John Gertz, former chairman of the SETI Institute, about why extraterrestrial civilizations may send robotic probes rather than radio signals, and whether such objects could already be hidden among asteroids, orbiting the Sun, or even closer to Earth.The discussion explores Gertz’s new book Reinventing SETI, his critiques of the Fermi Paradox and von Neumann probes, the risks of METI, and the
