Planets vs Megastructures (Narration Only) - SFIA 750,000 Subscriber Special Edition

In Episode 4 we look at the concept of wormholes, how they derive from General Relativity, the various different types and theories, and some under-considered uses of wormholes. We'll also discuss some myths and misunderstandings of the concept.

FTL04 - Wormholes

The concept of a Technological Singularity, an accelerated rush in processing speed improvements culminating in a super-mind, has captivated people for decades. Today we will examine this idea and look at some misconceptions about it.
