UAP Research or SETI - Who Finds NHI First? - with Adam Frank | Merged Podcast EP 18

Dr. Adam Frank, a leading expert on star evolution and a passionate "evangelist of science." Based at the University of Rochester, his research group utilizes advanced supercomputers to study stellar formation and demise. Today, Frank takes us on a journey into the search for technosignatures and habitability in exoplanets. Frank also teases a NASA concept that aims to use the sun as a gigantic lens for magnifying distant exoplanets. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion on the future of astrobiology and space exploration. We'll also discuss UAP and whether he believes the field merits study.    Adam Frank is an American physicist, astronomer, and writer. His scientific research has focused on computational astrophysics with an emphasis on star formation and late stages of stellar evolution. His work includes studies of exoplanet atmospheres and astrobiology. Adam's "The Little Book of Aliens" is available everywhere now.  Ryan Graves: AIAA UAP: https://www.aiaauap.org Twitter: @uncertainvector Connect with Us: Website: http://www.mergedpodcast.com Merged Point: https://www.mergedpoint.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MERGED is a platform to enable the mainstream exploration of UAP through the lens of pilots, scientists, and innovators.  Ryan will host discussions on UAP that prioritize scientific inquiry and maintain an open-minded approach. In addition to exchanging ideas, MERGED will serve as a conduit for identifying technologies, companies, and individuals that can contribute to the ecosystem of UAP research and understanding. Ryan Graves is a former pilot who flew the F-18 Super Hornet fighter jet. In 2014, he and his colleagues regularly encountered unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAP) off the coast of Virginia Beach. These sightings were so frequent that they had to cancel training missions. By 2021, there have been 11 documented near misses with UAP. The MERGED Podcast is here to explore this phenomenon and the efforts to understand it through the perspective of pilots, scientists, and innovators. Ryan believes that the UAP phenomenon is an engineering problem and that a rational, science-first approach is needed to explore it.
