This podcast is all about searching for life in places we didn’t think it exists.
“We suspect strongly that with all the planets out there in the universe, and with all the ubiquity of the raw ingredients – the atoms, the molecules, and the organic compounds that are essential to life out there – there ought to be more life than what we find here on planet Earth.
“But we haven’t found it yet. This quest for extraterrestrial life – this quest for life beyond Earth – is one of the proverbial holy grails of modern science.
“Are we alone in the Universe? This might be an unanswered question today, but it’s something that scientists are right at the cutting edge of working to find out.”
So starts the latest edition of the “Starts with a Bang” podcast. It features Adrian Lenardic, one of the CLEVER Planets co-investigators.
