Michio Kaku, one of the co-founders of string theory, has been working towards finding the god equation. A one inch symmetrical equation that explains the universe and everything in it. From that we will know if there is a multiverse, how aliens might be "laserporting", sending their digital souls across the universe on laser light and creating avatars to explore their destinations. As well as why the recent UAP videos released by the pentagon might be examples of k3 alien civilizations

This was well before the first satellites, and given that they disappeared within 30 minutes, if they weren't false positives, this makes them most likely to be within the solar system.Dr. Beatriz Villaroel joins John Michael Godier to discuss her work in determining just what these anomalies are.

2026/06/17

Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin wrote the Planet Nine hypothesis paper in 2019. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to find the mysterious planet 9. Last month, Kevin Napier, a PHd candidate from the University of Michigan lead a team to study the apparent clustering of Extreme trans-Neptunian objects, and found that there was No Evidence for Orbital Clustering in the Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects. Is this correct? Do we need more data? or is Planet 9 real? Kevin joins John Michael

Fermi Paradox solutions. Could we be surrounded by intelligent life and not know it? The Zoo Hypothesis is one possible solution to the fermi paradox where we are kept from knowing that aliens exist by alien civilizations that keep us from knowing the truth. Could intelligent life in the universe end up choosing to become machine civilizations? And if so, would they even care to communicate with us, or rather live a blissful life, largely protected from the dangers of space and the universe that we
