We're Not Stardust, We're Big Bang Stuff
Mayim Bialik told me that believing the sun will rise tomorrow is the same thing as religious faith, and I think she's right.
I brought a real meteorite into the studio to prove we're not just stardust, we're something even stranger.
Mayim Bialik is a neuroscientist who explores the intersection of science and spirituality on her own podcast.
We cover:
- Why asking "what happened before the Big Bang" might not even be a valid question
- Why I'm not just stardust, but literal Big Bang matter, and what that means
- What the mysterious "arrow of time" reveals about whether our universe had a beginning
- Why a meteorite sitting on my desk explains where our elements actually came from
- How I define faith using the Hebrew word emunah, and why that word doesn't need scientific proof
"That's what faith feels like."
