Programmable & Smart Matter

In the future we will build outposts and bases in space and on distant worlds, but what if we could make it so they built themselves instead?

Self-Growing Habitats & Space Bases

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?

Godlike Aliens

We believe Mars may once have had oceans and sky, but lost them from a lack of a magnetosphere. How does this happen, and how can we create a magnetosphere for Mars so we can terraform and live on it?

Making a Magnetosphere for Mars

Many don't realize that most of our satellites and space stations aren't intended to be far from Earth, but rather, as close as we can get them and still maintain a stable orbit. How much lower can we go in the future?

Dark Sky Stations, Stratospheric Satellites, and Ultra Low Orbit Infrastructure

Our capability to render virtual realities better and better makes it seem likely one day we could simulate our world flawlessly, and perhaps our minds too. If so, perhaps we will in the future... and perhaps we already did in the past.

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

The Silurian Hypothesis contemplates how long the ruins of a civilization would be detectable, on Earth or even other worlds, and if we could ever know if a world had once been inhabited by a technological civilization.
