Is there life out there?

It is the fundamental question we humans have been asking since the beginning of our existence. Beth and Chad attempt to answer this question, then work in The Fermi Paradox, the Drake Equation, and of course, chickens and lizards.

Learn more about the Fermi paradox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox,

And here’s the Drake Equation N = R* x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L

And here’s how SETI helps us understand the Drake Equation (SETI): https://www.seti.org/drake-equation-index
