On episode 340, we are joined by astrophysicist and astronomer, Adam Frank. Frank is a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars and his computational research group at the University of Rochester has developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and die. Today, Frank discusses his latest book, The Little Book of Aliens, which poses and attempts to answer many questions on the possibilities of alien life, how and where it may exist, how it can search for us and how we can search for it. And perhaps most excitedly: how close are we to finally making contact? Or have we already?Read Ryan’s Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.
