On this episode of Curiosity Theory, Dr. Dakotah Tyler (@dr.starkid) and Justin Shaifer (@mr.fascinate) take you on a tour from ancient Mars to spiral galaxies to the trends moving through your social feeds.

We start with new NASA results and the possibility of life on Mars, unpack what counts as a real biosignature, and dig into ideas like panspermia and endosymbiosis to explain how life might start and how complex cells evolved.

Then we zoom out and connect the dots:

Why most life in the universe is probably microbial
How MRI and quantum spin actually work in practice
How Starlink and satellite constellations mess with astronomy and reshape low Earth orbit
How waves show up in oceans, galaxies, and even culture, as ideas move through people like physical waves move through matter

It is big picture, nerdy, practical, and philosophical all at once.
