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.

CS01 - Arcologies

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

This episode begins our look at solutions to the Fermi Paradox - the question of why the Universe appears empty of intelligent life besides ourselves - by looking at some of the reasons why life may simply be very uncommon. Before we can contemplate what might be special about Earth, we first need to consider what might be special about our region of space, and even our epoch of time, or our Universe itself.

Great Filters: Space & Time

We conclude our look at possible explanations why life may be very rare in the Universe by looking at the evolutionary pathway to intelligence and the hurdles between life starting on a planet and migrating off of it.

Rare Intelligence

A continued look at Generation Ships and Interstellar Colonization.
Check out Cheddar's video on the Sun: https://chdr.tv/youtue6886
In order to colonize the galaxy, we are going to have to spend huge times on board equally huge spaceships. To move thousands of people, and our ecosystem, to distant planets, will require not only giant ark-like starships, but entire fleets of them. Today we will examine how we could do this even if physics never offers us any superior methods in the future for covering the void of interstellar space faster.

Generation Ships: Exodus Fleet

The galaxy is a vast place with billions of potential new worlds for humanity to colonize, but interstellar space is so enormous that reaching even the nearest stars and planets by spaceship would take decades at best, and maybe many centuries. Even on arrival terraforming those barren planets would take just as long. 

Two options for overcoming the immensity of space and time are the Seed Ship and the Data Ship, automated vessels able to colonize the worlds for us. We will examine those today, their advantages, limitations, and misconceptions, and variations of them we might use to seed the stars.

Seeding The Stars

The Fermi Paradox asks why we don't see any alien civilizations with our SETI efforts. The Late Filters are common solution suggested, that intelligent species may often arise but either destroy themselves or unwilling or incapable of interstellar travel to reach new worlds and colonize the galaxy.

The Fermi Paradox: Late Filters (Narration Only)

Science fiction often shows us seemingly benevolent aliens whose UFOs come in peace then turn out to have sinister motives and hidden conspiracies, but what would a genuinely friendly group of extraterrestrials be like?

The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #80

Carl and Callum discuss the heart and soul of cancel culture, the woke Twitter mob, Bristol City Council's bid for reparations, and what reparations would even look like in the modern era.
