    Lucien Graves turns his analytical gaze to the cosmic and geological forces that have repeatedly reshaped life on Earth. This episode explores extinction-level threats beyond human control: devastating asteroid impacts like the one that ended the dinosaurs, supervolcanoes capable of triggering volcanic winters, civilization-destroying solar flares, and exotic cosmic phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts. Unlike man-made disasters, many of these cataclysms are mathematically certain given sufficient time. Lucien examines our detection capabilities, prevention limitations, and the sobering reality that humanity exists in a universe indifferent to our survival, where only our foresight and technological ingenuity might allow us to break the cycle of extinction that has claimed every dominant species before us.
