Episode 5 of the Habitable Planets Series takes a look at double planets and what sort of conditions would prevail, or need to prevail, for them to be Earth-like. As well as the Rocheworld, a special case of Double Planets where the two planets either share an atmosphere or have even begun to merge together.

Note: make sure to set units of both bodies to Earth Mass and period to hours or days if trying to look at double planet cases.

HP05 - Double Planets And Rocheworlds

A look at various Cataclysmic Scenarios in terms of how they factor into the Fermi Paradox. We'll look at everything from Biowarfare and AI to Nukes and Grey Goo


FP03 - Apocalypse How

This series takes a look at concepts for everything from Terraforming Planets and Interstellar Colonization to more down to Earth matters like Arcologies and Planet Wide Cities before examining using black holes as power sources for starships.We then leap into the far distance future at the end of time to examine civilizations surviving around black holes after all the stars have died out.

CS07 - Micro Black Holes And Hawking Radiation

CS05 - Terraforming Techniques

CS02 - Ecumenopolises

In this Episode we examine the concept of the Simulation Hypothesis, which proposes a mathematical argument that we are almost certainly simulations running on a computer.

EC02 The Simulation Hypothesis

This episode begins a three-part series focusing more on the specifics of colonization including human aspect of it. We lay the groundwork by looking at colonies just in our solar system before moving off in episodes two and three to look at life on colony ships and then on interstellar colonies.

Life In A Space Colony Episode 1

In this episode we continue our look at possible Alien Civilizations by attempting to peer into the alien psyche. In the absence of any actual ones to examine we will review fictional examples and try to match those up against both human behavior and what we might consider likely, unlikely, or impossible to arise from evolutionary processes.

Crazy Aliens

This episode discusses the idea over using chains of relays firing immensely powerful lasers or streams of particles to move spaceships between neighboring stars at near-light velocities.

Upward Bound: Getting into Space

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.
