In this episode, my guest is Dr. Brian Keating, Ph.D., a cosmologist and professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego. We discuss the origins of the universe and how humans have used light and optics to understand where and how life on Earth emerged.We explore how early humans charted the stars, sun, moon, and other celestial events to measure time and track seasons, as well as how stargazing continues to connect us to a shared ancient experience. Additionally, we examine the scientific process, the practical and ethical challenges of pursuing groundbreaking discoveries, and the emotional toll of striving for recognition in one’s profession.Finally, we discuss whether astrology has any scientific validity and consider the possibility of life beyond Earth.Read the full episode show notes at <a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-brian-keating-charting-the-architecture-of-the-universe-human-life">hubermanlab.com</a>.<h2>Thank you to our sponsors</h2>AG1: <a href="https://drinkag1.com/huberman">https://drinkag1.com/huberman</a>LMNT: <a href="https://drinklmnt.com/huberman">https://drinklmnt.com/huberman</a>BetterHelp: <a href="https://betterhelp.com/huberman">https://betterhelp.com/huberman</a>Function: <a href="https://functionhealth.com/huberman">https://functionhealth.com/huberman</a>Helix Sleep: <a href="https://helixsleep.com/huberman">https://helixsleep.com/huberman</a>ROKA: <a href="https://roka.com/huberman">https://roka.com/huberman</a><h2>Timestamps</h2>00:00:00 Dr. Brian Keating00:02:07 Cosmology, Origin of Universe00:05:41 Sponsors: LMNT & BetterHelp00:08:33 Stars, Planets, Early Humans, Time00:14:53 Astrology, Ophiuchus Constellation00:19:58 Pineal Gland, Time-Keeping & Stars, Seasons & Offspring00:29:19 Humans, Time Perception, Astronomy00:36:08 Sponsor: AG100:37:47 Brain & Prediction; Moonset, Syzygy; Telescope, Galileo 00:46:36 Light Refraction; Telescope, Eyeglasses00:51:36 Earth Rotation & Sun00:53:43 Glass, Microscope, Telescopes & Discovery01:02:53 Science as Safe Space; Jupiter, Galileo, Discovery, Time01:10:48 Early Humans, Stonehenge, Pyramids, Measurement Standards 01:15:54 Giants of Astronomy 01:20:04 Sponsors: Function & Helix Sleep01:23:10 Origin of Life, Scientific Method & P-Hacking; Nobel Prize, Big Bang, Inflation01:30:20 Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, BICEP01:37:58 Father & Son Relationship, Science & Rewards01:44:06 Loss, Mentor 01:49:55 Antarctica, South Pole01:56:49 Light & Heat Pollution, South Pole02:01:09 Prize Pursuit, First Discovery; Star Collapse, Micrometeorites, Polarization 02:08:26 Sponsor: ROKA02:10:08 Moon, Size & Horizon; Visual Acuity; Rainbow or Moon Bigger?02:15:21 Sunset, Green Flash, Color Opponency02:23:05 Menstrual & Lunar Cycles; Moon Movement02:26:36 Northern Hemisphere & Stargazing, Dark Sky Communities, Telescope02:29:51 Constellations, Asterism; Halley's & Hale-Bopp Comets02:32:13 Navigation, Columbus02:36:29 Adaptive Optics, Scintillation, Artificial Stars02:48:28 Life Outside Earth?02:57:50 Gut Microbiome; Building Planet03:05:00 Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Protocols Book, Neural Network Newsletter<a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/disclaimer">Disclaimer & Disclosures</a>
