Adam Frank is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Rochester. He joins Preet to discuss some of the biggest questions in science. Is there extraterrestrial life and how might we find it? Is Earth the only place in space where humans could survive? And, would the Universe exist without us humans?

Plus, a potential timeline for Donald Trump’s upcoming trials, and why receiving a target letter from prosecutors usually means an indictment is near.
