Em 2017, um objeto astronômico diferente de tudo o que a gente já tinha visto antes passou perto da terra: o Oumuamua. Ele tinha uma velocidade maior do que o normal, não tinha uma cauda como os cometas, nem poeira, como os asteroides. Por tudo isso, astrônomos concluíram que o Oumuamua era o primeiro objeto de fora do sistema solar identificado por telescópios humanos.
Mas, para um astrofísico em particular, ele poderia ser ainda mais interessante. Poderia ser o resto de um objeto tecnológico criado por alguma civilização extraterrestre.
A partir dessa história, este episódio mergulha na astrobiologia. Um campo de estudo que tenta entender como a vida surgiu aqui, para buscar por vida alienígena

In episode two of our new series David and Lea explore some ancient ideas of freedom and ask what they mean today. What can Socrates teach us about the nature of free inquiry and the pitfalls of democratic freedom? Is Stoicism a guide to emancipation from desire or an exercise in selfishness? And how did Christianity upend the notion of freedom by annexing it to ideas of salvation and love? A conversation about dissent, self-knowledge and faith.

Em poucos meses, dois casos rumorosos de tentativas de censura e restrição a livros premiados. O romance "O avesso da pele", de Jeferson Tenório, foi recolhido de escolas públicas de três estados por, segundo autoridades, utilizar "linguagem imprópria". "Outono de carne estranha", de Airton Souza, foi objeto de uma controvérsia envolvendo o prêmio Sesc, um dos principais do país, após o autor ler um trecho do romance durante a premiação. Nesse 108° episódio do 451 MHz, os dois escritores e também professores conversam sobre o que está por trás desse ataque aos livros e sobre a importância da leitura nas suas trajetórias. O episódio foi realizado com apoio da Lei de Incentivo à Cultura e da Companhia das Letras. Apoie o 451 MHz: https://bit.ly/Assine451

Our series on the Ideas Behind American Elections has reached 1980 and the election of Ronald Reagan. David and Gary discuss whether Jimmy Carter was always doomed, what made Reaganomics different and how Reagan succeeded in being an optimist and a scaremonger at the same time. Did this election really inaugurate a new era in American politics – and if so, are we still living in it?
