Summer On Jupiter: Making a Second Sun

Life as a Brain in a Jar

Life as a Brain in a Jar (Narration Only)

Our future lies out among the planets and stars, but to climb out in to space we must take many steps to get off, and today we'll look at those first steps to becoming spacefaring species. From cheaper rockets & space stations to asteroid mining & defense to space tourism & commercialization, we've a long road ahead, but we have a roadmap.

Becoming an Interplanetary Species: First Steps

Becoming an Interplanetary Species: First Steps (Narration Only)

Our solar system contains many planets, moons, and asteroid that we may one day call home, but the future might instead be artificial space habitats, stations, and megastructures of vast size and numbers, using all those celestial bodies as raw materials to be dismantled for construction.

Lets Dismantle The Solar System!

Lets Dismantle The Solar System! (Narration Only)

If the Universe is inhabited by older alien civilizations, those who have ventured out to the stars and colonized galaxies, we would expect to see a footprint of extraterrestrial activity. Could the many stars whose brightness has dimmed be indicative of Dyson Spheres or other Megastructures? Could the Cosmic Voids vastly bigger than any galaxy be the work of even greater and older starfaring species?

Science fiction often shows us post-apocalyptic future civilizations with techno-barbarians running around in fur & hides but carrying laser weapons or other advanced technology. But how plausible is such a civilizations and what would it actually be like?

Techno-Barbarians

Superconductors offer us a path to high-efficiency, low-loss power and energy, but the impact they'll have on our civilization through other technologies may be far greater, and we'll explore the science or superconductivity works and what future technology it will of us.
