What if the best person to solve the mystery of alien communication isn't a SETI researcher or a radio astronomer, but instead a theoretical physicist trained in the deepest notions of physical law, symmetries, and quantum field theory?

Well, today, I’m joined by Latham Boyle, a renowned theoretical physicist exploring the fundamental symmetries of the universe and developing new ideas to understand how the universe began. But his research goes beyond that—he’s also tackling one of the greatest mysteries of all time: the Fermi Paradox. After explaining everything we need to know about symmetries, Latham shares his bold theory of a mirror universe, where the cosmos is symmetric across the Big Bang, and how that could explain the strange silence from the stars. We explore how this radical idea might reshape our understanding of dark matter, the origin of the universe, and why advanced civilizations might be using quantum signals we’re simply not equipped to detect.

What if we’re not alone, just looking in the wrong way?

Key Takeaways:

  • 00:00 Intro

  • 02:29 Explaining symmetries and CPT symmetry

  • 05:07 Theoretical framework and observational evidence

  • 09:49 Symmetry violations

  • 12:56 Possible alternative explanation of the early universe

  • 40:55 Quantum entanglement and the Fermi Paradox

  • 51:14 Technology of biological material?

  • 56:29 Outro
