Existential Questions to Keep You Up at Night

Some questions have no easy answers. The more you think about them, the deeper the mystery becomes. In this episode, we explore some of the most profound existential questions ever asked—about consciousness, reality, time, free will, identity, death, and the meaning of existence itself. These are the questions that have challenged philosophers, scientists, and curious minds for thousands of years. Why does anything exist at all? Are we truly in control of our choices? What is consciousness? And if the universe has no inherent purpose… can we create our own? Drawing from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and modern science, we examine the ideas that continue to shape humanity’s search for meaning. Because sometimes… the most unsettling questions don’t have answers—they simply change the way we see the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kurzgesagt-podcast-science-revealed--6600013/support.
