Hey, it's Manouche here, and I don't know about you, but sometimes I just need a break

from the headlines. A moment to stop thinking about what is happening on our Jeremy planet

and go beyond. And so that's what we've got for you. On the show today, Ted's amazing science

curator, David Biello, joins me with a special selection of ideas from scientists who are mapping

places previously uncharted. From the outer reaches of the universe down to the deepest parts of

our oceans and into the hidden networks of our brains. This episode originally aired in March,

think of it as a mini vacation, so relax and enjoy. This is the Ted Radio Hour.

Each week, groundbreaking Ted Talks. Our job now is to dream big.

Around the world. To understand who we are. From those talks, we bring you speakers and ideas

that will surprise you. You just don't know what you're going to find. Challenge you.

We truly have to ask ourselves like why is it noteworthy? And even change you. I literally feel

coronavirus. And even though things can feel strange and even scary right now, uncharted territory

doesn't always have to be a bad thing. It's our calling card to figure things out.

In fact, it is often what sparks the imaginations of scientists and explorers. We are all

atomically connected. But what does that mean? They want to go where no one else has ever

gone before. These are places that have been isolated for billions of years. And that of course

is what can lead us to new discoveries, better ways of living our lives. Could they also help us

with a little carbon problem we've got going on up into the surface? And so on the show today,

we are going into uncharted territory, into space, oceans, deep into the earth, the sub-surface,
