You know, all our efforts to find life in the universe at some point needs a ground truth. So true. And that happens on Earth. Yes. We got one of the world's experts to think about life on Earth and how it got here and how how how it turned into what it became going back three billion years.
We're going into the way back. Way, way back. Coming up. On Star Talk. What would you do if an alien actually showed up?
Would you shake its hand or run? Does it even have a hand to shake? In my latest book, Take Me to Your Leader, I explore not only how they might have gotten here, but what they might want and how you should respond. Because the real question is not, are we alone? It's Are We Ready?
