Summary

To answer the age-old question “why do we exist?” it might be helpful to add a little science into out existential pondering. we need to employ quantum physics for the answer. Hakeem Oluseyi is an astrophysicist, inventor, educator and CEO of the Astro Society, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the space-time continuum of life as we know it, the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe, and how our imagination shapes our existence. His book is “ Why Do We Exist?: The Nine Realms of Universe that Make You Possible .” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
