  • 12. Universes Born from Universes
    Aug 11 2025

    What if every ending is also a beginning?

    In this season finale, we explore theories and myths that imagine our universe not as the first — but as one in a long lineage of worlds. From black holes birthing baby universes to the endless bubbling of cosmic inflation, scientists, philosophers, and storytellers all wonder: could reality be recursive?

    We follow the spiral through physics, ancient cosmologies, and metaphor — tracing a grand genealogy of creation where each universe carries echoes of the one before.

    Tune in for a story of cosmic rebirth, nested realities, and the mysterious question of where it all begins.

  • 11. Ancient Survivors (Species Older Than Dinosaurs)
    Aug 4 2025

    Before the dinosaurs, before flowers bloomed, before the continents drifted into place — they were here.

    This episode traces the lives of Earth’s oldest living species: horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, cyanobacteria, and other ancient survivors that have endured for hundreds of millions, even billions, of years.

    What wisdom lives in such resilience? What might these species — so often overlooked — teach us about change, adaptation, and continuity?

    Tune in for a journey through deep time and humble brilliance.

  • 10. Time & Other Dimensions
    Jul 28 2025

    What is time, really? A ticking clock? A river we drift down? A spiral? A construct?

    In this episode, we peer into time’s many layers — from Einstein’s spacetime and time warps in myth, to the way memory, movement, and meaning shape our experience of it.

    We explore time not just as something to measure, but something to feel: elastic, personal, nonlinear. A force that both carries us forward and pulls us back.

    Tune in for a journey through time’s hidden dimensions — the scientific, symbolic, and poetic.
