We go from the universe’s first chemistry to tomorrow’s designer biology, swing by Mars to tune Europa Clipper’s ice radar, and finish with a fresh take on the double-slit experiment.
In this episode
The “oldest molecule” puzzle (HeH⁺), cooling the early universe, and why JWST’s findings matter
Programmable proteins: reassigning codons, recoding organisms, and real biosafety
Europa Clipper’s REASON radar test at Mars: frequencies, ice thickness & ocean clues
Double-slit, demystified: single photons, “which-path” info, and measurement reality
