b'We talk to astrophysicist Mario Livio about his new book Galileo: And the Science Deniers.\\nA note before today\\u2019s episode:\\xa0\\nWe have all been watching the escalation of police violence against protesters and Black people and if you consider yourself someone who cares about the injustices and racism being levied against Black communities, I want to ask you to do something about it.\\xa0\\nIf you have a platform, use it. If you have money to spare, donate it. At the very least you have your voice and your time.\\xa0\\nThere is a deep anti-Blackness in America and this is an inflection point. When white silence equals violence, there\\u2019s no defending complacency. We support Black voices, we support protesters, and we\\u2019re horrified by the actions of police. Please consider taking action.\\nFind a local bail fund to support here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floydMore anti-racism resources here: http://bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES\\n\\u2014 Adam Isaak, Inquiring Minds producerSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/inquiringminds'
