John Michael Godier"s Event Horizon ·

2025/10/03

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

In this episode of Event Horizon, John Michael Godier speaks with John Gertz, philanthropist, author, and longtime SETI supporter, about his new book Reinventing SETI. Gertz argues that the traditional search for extraterrestrial intelligence must evolve, offering new strategies for detecting technosignatures, interstellar probes, and communication across the stars. From rethinking the so-called “Fermi Paradox” to exploring white dwarfs as prime SETI targets, he presents bold ideas that challenge

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

In a landmark announcement, NASA revealed that the Perseverance rover has discovered a potential biosignature in a rock sample named “Sapphire Canyon” from Cheyava Falls, in the Bright Angel formation in Jezero Crater—collected in July 2024. The sample’s sedimentary rocks, rich in organic carbon, sulfur, oxidized iron, and phosphorus, along with newly identified “leopard spots” made of vivianite and greigite, suggest chemical environments that on Earth preserve microbial life.
