Hugh Ross is an astrophysicist who was at one time faculty at Caltech. He holds a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of British Columbia and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of Toronto.
His doctoral research focused on quasars and galaxies with a core topic in astrophysics.
During an episode of The Deep End podcast, Ross provided the statistical probability of earth existing in its current form, based on the knowledge available.
