Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor. MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet. Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them. Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition - or even God - is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:20:27.664994+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756"},"episode":{"title":"Before the Big Bang: God, Alien Life & The Operating System of Reality | Dr. Brian Keating","slug":"before-the-big-bang-god-alien-life-the-operating-system-of-reality-dr-brian-keating","published_at":"2026-06-09T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756/before-the-big-bang-god-alien-life-the-operating-system-of-reality-dr-brian-keating","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mayim-bialik-s-breakdown-1365756","url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/arttrk.com/p/PMMIC/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1047/rss.art19.com/episodes/97adfbaa-aa7f-49eb-baa1-d5d297370dc4.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/arttrk.com/p/PMMIC/prfx.byspotify.com/e/mgln.ai/e/1047/rss.art19.com/episodes/97adfbaa-aa7f-49eb-baa1-d5d297370dc4.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"What if EVERYTHING we know about reality is missing a deeper operating system? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Brian Keating (professor of physics, experimental cosmologist, and host of the Into the Impossible podcast) dives into the biggest unanswered questions in science, consciousness, God, the Big Bang, extraterrestrial life, simulation theory, and the hidden limits of human knowledge. Dr. Keating breaks down: - Why humanity NEEDS a Grand Unified Theory before we can ever reach a true “Theory of Everything”, and how scientists are trying to uncover the operating system of reality itself - “A telescope is a time machine”: How looking into deep space is literally looking backward through time toward the origins of existence - Shocking scientific and philosophical implications of the Big Bang, and the terrifying question: What was BEFORE time? - Could another universe have collapsed to create ours? - Why studying space-time itself may unlock secrets hidden before the beginning of the universe - Why the Big Bang explains the expanding universe, and where modern cosmology still breaks down - How Dr. Keating reconciles being both a scientist & a person of faith - Can God & science coexist? How God may tie into the creation of the universe through a scientific lens - Why God’s existence should not be subjected to scientific testing - Hidden limits of both religion AND scientific data - Where consciousness may actually come from according to modern physics - Why the role of scientists is not to “prove” things - Why even world-famous scientists secretly struggle with imposter syndrome - Deistic implications of the Simulation Hypothesis, and whether reality itself could be engineered - Search for extraterrestrial life: why we still have ZERO confirme…","meta_description":"What if EVERYTHING we know about reality is missing a deeper operating system?
