We have an excellent and mind-expanding discussion with Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe about panspermia and
the cosmic origins of life, and how evidence has been building for
decades that space itself may contain a "micro-biome" consisting of
vast numbers of single-cell life forms and viruses, and that these
are constantly raining down upon the earth, changing and affecting
life here on the planet, and possibly contributing to evolutionary
changes throughout the history of life on earth.
We also talk about how this cosmic distribution of life in the
universe may have caused the sudden onset of plagues and sicknesses
throughout history, and that it may be the origin of the current
viral crisis the world is facing in the form of COVID19.
We have to give special thanks to George Howard from The Cosmic
Tusk blog for helping us set up this fantastic interview
with Dr. Chandra. You can find the recent articles George has
written regarding Dr. Chandra's work here, and here.
