In his delightfully down-to-earth style, he explores and explains a mind-boggling future of intelligent robots, extraterrestrial life and its consequences, and other provocative, fascinating quandaries of the future that we want to see today.

Die Sterne zeigen dir die Liebe. Nova glaubt an Horoskope, überzeugt von der Weisheit der Sterne. Auch Weston widmet sich den Sternen, allerdings streng wissenschaftlich. Als Rockstar der Astronomie hält er Astrologie für reine Illusion. Wenig überraschend, dass bei ihrem ersten Aufeinandertreffen die Funken fliegen.

Bobby Azarian explains the science behind this new view of reality and explores what it means for all of us.
