The universe, a mirror of humanity

What will you learn during the episode?

• A rich collection of nonsense, mistakes, and myths that accompany our understanding of our place in the universe
• What we laugh at today about our ancestors (and what they might very well laugh at us for one day)
• Whether the universe is the ultimate challenge for our brain, or more like a Rorschach test
• And of course, there will be extraterrestrial intelligences too!
