Threats to Earth and Innovative Solutions
20:50 - 29:21 (08:31)
In this episode, the speaker discusses the threats posed by bioterrorism, the benefits of having satellites with infrared sensors to detect threats and track their trajectory, and the importance of addressing threats like asteroid impact or pandemics. The speaker also touches on the weird and provocative phenomena of quantum physics that we are just starting to understand.

Summary
With the increasing possibility of individuals with a college education in the biotech field being able to create weapons of mass destruction, there is cause for concern when it comes to bioterrorism. However, there is hope as satellites with infrared sensors could detect objects headed towards Earth, providing enough time to change their orbit and avoid impact with the planet.
