We talk to astrophysicist Mario Livio about his new book Galileo: And the Science Deniers.

A note before today’s episode:

We have all been watching the escalation of police violence against protesters and Black people and if you consider yourself someone who cares about the injustices and racism being levied against Black communities, I want to ask you to do something about it.

If you have a platform, use it. If you have money to spare, donate it. At the very least you have your voice and your time.

There is a deep anti-Blackness in America and this is an inflection point. When white silence equals violence, there’s no defending complacency. We support Black voices, we support protesters, and we’re horrified by the actions of police. Please consider taking action.
