0:00.0	Happy New Year Year from all of us at Into the Impossible.
0:08.0	Start your year right by listening to this masterful year end wrap up by your host Brian Keating.
0:14.6	Brian summarizes podcast highlights and some of the most controversial issues facing astrophysics
0:21.1	and all of science. Can science break free of politics and
0:25.8	culture wars? As 2023 begins, resolve to subscribe, rate and write us a review.
0:34.0	Professor Keating reads them all.
0:36.0	And remember, stay curious all year.
0:40.0	Any sufficient... Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
0:48.3	Open the five big doors please, hell.
0:52.1	So... Open the pot bay doors please help. So, thought it'd be fun to chat about science, big stories of the year.
0:59.0	I'm going to do a final year-end wrap- up on my YouTube channel, Dr Brian Keating, you guys can join up over there.
1:08.0	And I've got a phenomenal episode with Dr. Professor Stacy McDaw of Case Western Reserve University

2:08.4	kind of at the precipice of perhaps a breakthrough in physics at least in maybe the sociology of physics because I wonder if we can ever get past the the precipice of you either you know agree 100% with my pet theory or my
2:26.7	Interpretation of data or were you know sworn enemies and there's been a lot of that and push back to Monde and even some from the Monde
2:34.7	pushing back on the prevailing attitude that dark matter is in the phone of a particle.
2:41.1	And I'm just interested to see where the data take us. I think it's perhaps, you know, among the top mysteries and all of science, not just in cosmology or astrophysics that I study.
