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

By contemplating the idea of what true Kardashev 2 and 3 civilizations might look like, in the context of Megastructures, we re-assess the Fermi Paradox and come up with a new question, no longer "Why can't we see any alien civilizations?" but why we can see any stars in the night sky at all.

FP02 - Dyson Dilemma

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

CS04 - Moon Base Concepts

CS03 - The Impact Of Nuclear Fusion

A look at how emerging concepts in science & technology could disrupt our most our understandings of identity, consciousness, and free will. This is the 5th episode of the Existential Crisis series which looks at concepts like Transhumanism, Life Extension, the Simulation Hypothesis, the Doomsday Argument, and the Anthropic Principle.

EC05 Consciousness And Identity

This videos covers two topics, the Anthropic Principle, which uses the idea that your own existence might skew the odds of events you witness, and the basic concepts of Super-Intelligence, and what we might expect of humans or artificial intelligence that achieve that.

EC04 The Anthropic Principle And Super Intelligence

A look at concepts of transhumanism and life extension

EC01 Transhumanism And Immortality

The  Zoo Hypothesis is a Fermi Paradox solution that assumes extraterrestrial civilizations can't be detected by our SETI efforts because they keep our whole world in an Alien Zoo.

The Fermi Paradox: Zoo Hypothesis (Narration Only)

We often speculate that the reason we can't hear aliens civilizations is because our SETI efforts (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) relies on radio and telescopes to weak to hear them. But how plausible is that? and what would it tell us about our own future?
