A practicing astrophysicist who doesn't believe in the tunnel of light, the hovering soul, or the wailing relatives — but believes in one near-death experience that changed science forever. By the end you'll believe in it too.Today on Into the Impossible: the strangest, darkest, most personal origin story behind the world's most famous prize — and what it should make you do with the time you have left.🔴 Just released — my conversation with Mayim Bialik on her pod that goes even deeper on near-death experiences: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwFTWTbC5lkIf you came here from Mayim's channel — welcome.

He has a personal stake in this story — and he's nominated Nobel winners twice.We cover: why a physicist takes near-death experiences seriously, the four deaths that built a fortune on nitroglycerin, the newspaper that confused two brothers and printed the wrong man's obituary, the one-page handwritten will that gave away 94% of an estate — and the wishes the Nobel Committee has quietly ignored ever since.Rosalind Franklin never won. Vera Rubin never won. That's not a footnote.CHAPTERSGet the transcript, fascinating bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C. Message: https://briankeating.com/ytHave a .edu email and live in the USA?
