Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner probe the smallest meaningful time: the Planck scale, below which structure and causality fail. Rosner notes uncertainty’s tradeoffs and wonders if extreme densities, like near black holes, alter effective scales. They recap Alien: Earth episode four: an eye-parasite subjugates “Victoria,” a sheep rendered via live, animatronic, and CGI doubles; gamma spikes imply agency amid five alien types and synth children. Shifting to policy, they discuss CDC turmoil, RFK Jr.’s anti-vax influence, and gun saturation. Safety tech like biometrics is ignored; deaths persist. Long term, Rosner imagines “downloadable brains” as protection when politics blocks progress.
