This is the 1 episode of our new series Paradigm Shifters where we highlight people that have changed humanity with their minds. Oppenheimer was famous for leading the Manhattan Project, but he was also a philosopher and the head of Institute for Advanced Study. He mentored and taught many of our brightest minds.

Today we discuss Yellowstone, Lake Toba, and Supervolcanoes. Is Yellowstone due for an eruption? How much damage would a supervolcano do and how would it effect humanity? We will also discuss why Yellowstone is not an imminent threat according to the data. We will go over why scientists believe the human population was reduced to roughly 3-10k people following the Lake Toba eruption. *All of our links are below 👇  https://linktr.ee/MindEscapePodcast *Here is the link to recent scientific paper and hypothesis regarding evidence of 2 supereruptions roughly 9million years ago in southern Idaho: https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/doi/10.1130/G47384.1/586793/Discovery-of-two-new-super-eruptions-from-the *Here is the link to the recent NY Times article on those eruptions: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/18/science/yellowstone-supervolcano-eruption.html *Here is the link to the Livescience article on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/18/science/yellowstone-supervolcano-eruption.html *Here is a link to a couple of Supervolcano documentaries: https://youtu.be/Vt07neEU0bU https://youtu.be/G1pa6afh8o4

Today we sat down with Professor and Physicist from the University of California San Diego Brian Keating. Brian designed a refracting telescope (BICEP) that was used in an experiment to detect gravitational waves. His team had to retract their findings and ultimately lose the Nobel Prize. His book "Losing the Nobel Prize" details how it all went down. We will also discuss The Big Bang, CMB, and the Multiverse. Finally we will get his personal thoughts on consciousness, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility of a creator. *All of our links are below 👇  https://linktr.ee/MindEscapePodcast http://briankeating.com/ Get his book "Losing the Nobel Prize" at: https://www.amazon.com/Brian-Keating/e/B079NVKV3B/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1549577512&sr=8-1
