Art Bell welcomes Dr. Orrin Pilkey , a Duke University professor of geology and expert on shoreline processes, to examine the reliability of mathematical models used to shape major public policy decisions. Pilkey argues that while models can reveal broad trends and general directions, society places far too much confidence in their precise numerical predictions, particularly when applied to complex natural systems. The discussion ranges from climate change modeling to the controversial decision ...

Art Bell welcomes back science journalist Charles Seife for a wide-ranging second installment covering the origins of the universe, the nature of consciousness, and the future of genetic science. Seife discusses what scientists know about the Big Bang, explaining that while they can simulate conditions microseconds after creation using particle colliders, the actual moment of origin remains perhaps permanently beyond the reach of science. The conversation shifts to the possibility that our unive...
