One day humanity might make contact with an alien race, but will we be able to understand their languages?

Alien Languages

One explanation for the Fermi Paradox is that aliens may be undetected because they slumber, quietly hidden away in the galaxy. But how and why might such Extraterrestrial Empires hibernate?

Hibernating Aliens

Telepathy and other psychic abilities have often been investigated by science, but could the future offer humanity such talents, and is science they key to unlocking or creating them?

Telepathy

Is it possible the Earth might be separated from the Sun or the Sun go out? And if so, could we survive under an eternally dark sky?

What If Earth Became A Rogue Planet?

A Galaxy of trillion of worlds, all separated by vast gulfs of time and space, it is very easy for pioneers and colonists to disappear. But what happens to these lost space colonies?

Lost Space Colonies

In the future humanity may build enormous structures, feats of mega-engineering that may rival planets or even be of greater scope. This episode catalogs roughly 100 major types of Megastructure, from those that are cities in space to those that rival galaxies.

The Megastructure Compendium

A Journey to the Edge of Time and Space
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
As we continue our look at Generation Ships, vast vessels designed to carry many thousands of colonists to distant and alien worlds centuries away, we must ask just how far and how long such ships can be made to last? Can space ships be made that will endure even longer voyages of thousands or even millions of years in the void of interstellar or even intergalactic space? Will ships, and their crews, fall apart or turn into Cargo Cults who no longer remember how their technology functions or what their mission was?

The Million Year Ark

Black Holes are often considered the greatest dangers to spaceships in science fiction, but they may turn out to be the perfect power source for future spaceships.

Black Hole Ships

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, SETI, relies on looking for signals from distant alien worlds where even very powerful signals can weaken to near nothing. We'll explore today how we, or extraterrestrials, might get around this problem, be it by immense star-powered transmitters or by using laser communication beams.

Talkative Aliens

Science Fiction often shows us aliens and human living among one another in space, but how realistic are such portrayals and what sort of accommodation would extraterrestrials need for their environments? We will also ask if humans and aliens could live together, possibly even marry and have hybrid offspring.
