Summary

Dr. Brian Keating and I were talking about casually talking about religion before we start the podcast. However, we tied that into the alternate theories to The Big Bang! We talked about the metaphor of the Seven Days of Creation, relativity theories, chicken or eggs theory, and more! Brian Keating is the Chancellor’s Professor of Physics at UC San Diego. He hosts INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE (https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1), a podcast about science, leadership, and happiness, and is the is author of a bestselling cosmic memoir called “Losing the Nobel Prize“.
