Planckmaxxing | Pod 124
This week, Trace digs into whether life could’ve ever gotten its start somewhere else—say, Mars, for example—quickly pointing out that our lovely planet's existence is already pretty insane on its own. Meanwhile, Julian takes a simple “why hot things glow red” question and follows it straight through Max Planck to the idea of whether the universe itself has a maximum possible temperature. Naturally, we end up circling the origin of everything like that isn’t wildly overkill, and we somehow accidentally relive the Big Bang along the way.
QUESTIONS
Julian: “Is there a limit to how hot something can get?” from Tyler
Trace: “Could we be martians?” from Wyn
