Holiday Message: Reflections on Immortality
Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
The final Mindscape podcast of each year is devoted to a short, reflective Holiday Message. This year the theme is Immortality: whether it's an attractive idea, and whether the laws of physics and cosmology would allow for it in principle. (Spoiler: they do not.) Mindscape will return as usual on January 1, 2024. Happy holidays everyone!
