The Cosmic Codex
Welcome to The Cosmic Codexa transmission from the edge of becoming.Hosted by philosopher and Ph.D. candidate Arabella Thais, this podcast traces the golden threads that weave cosmos, mythos, and psyche into a unified vision of reality. Through visionary dialogues and solo scholarly riffs, Arabella excavates the deeper structures of existencedrawing from philosophy, cosmology, depth psychology, mathematics, poetics, and the occult. This is a philosophy podcast for a new epoch, one that dares to ask how meaning, beauty, and consciousness are encoded into the fabric of the universe. Each episode contributes to a larger arcunfolding themes such as retro-causality, anarchy, the Eternal Feminine, symbolic mathematics, and the aesthetics of timeas part of an urgent project: to reimagine the real and awaken a cosmology of wholeness.The Cosmic Codex is not merely a podcast.It is a living manuscript. A metaphysical map.A call to remember what you came here to know.www.arabellathais.com Language: en-gb Genres: Arts, Philosophy, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

KAIROS | Bernard Carr on Black Holes as Portals to Other Universes, and a New Physics of Time
Friday, 17 October, 2025
In this episode of Cosmic Codex, I have the immense privilege of sitting down with Professor Bernard Carr, one of the world’s most esteemed cosmologists, a longtime collaborator of Stephen Hawking, and a dear friend. Together, we embark on a sweeping exploration of the nature of time, the mysteries of black holes, the role of consciousness in the cosmos, and the tantalizing possibility of higher dimensions.Our conversation doesn’t shy away from the big questions: Is consciousness fundamental to reality? Can physics ever truly account for subjective experience? What does it mean to talk about “Kairos”—meaningful, qualitative time—versus “Kronos,” the linear ticking of the cosmic clock? Bernard shares his own bold ideas about the need for new dimensions of time to accommodate mind and meaning, and we reflect on the intersection of science, philosophy, and the spiritual quest.Chapters:00:00 – Black Holes as Portals: Introduction00:30 – Welcoming Professor Bernard Carr02:34 – Bernard’s Journey: Hawking, Cambridge, and Beyond04:15 – What Is Time?
