In this Episode we examine the concept of the Simulation Hypothesis, which proposes a mathematical argument that we are almost certainly simulations running on a computer.

EC01 Transhumanism And Immortality

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 (Narration Only)

A new paper has come out discussing how the Fermi Paradox might be explained by the rigors of traveling space for interstellar colonization, causing settlements to be rare and and possibly not long-lived. We'll look at this model for spreading humanity out across the galaxy and see what insights or flaws it might have.

The Fermi Paradox & the Aurora Effect (Narration Only)

There's many dangerous places on Earth, and everywhere off Earth is downright lethal, from the emptiness of space to the airless and radiation soaked Moon to the smoldering inferno of Venus, humanity can't visit them without protection. We'll see what options for spacesuits are under works and what options might emerge for even better ones in the distant future.

Spacesuits (Narration Only)

Alien Conspiracy theories are too numerous to count, but are they simply being paranoid about UFOs or might aliens be conspiring against us? Alternatively, could an extraterrestrial civilization be conspiratorial by nature, and what motives might a galactic civilization have for involving themselves with us in secret?

Conspiratorial Aliens (Narration Only)

The big question of why life exists has challenged minds for countless centuries, but what does science have to say on this matter? Could life arise on other worlds and in other Universes, and what is the reason for it?

Why Life Exists (Narration Only)

The Moon is covered in vast numbers of craters, some larger than entire Earth-based Nations, which may serve as dome habitats for humanity's future space colonies. But what would a crater city colony be like?

Moon: Crater Cities (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?

The Fermi Paradox: Whispers In The Night (Narration Only)

Jupiter is an enormous gas giant, more massive than all the other planets in the solar system combined... and yet small compared to our Sun and other Stellar Objects. Could Jupiter be turned into a second sun via advanced technology?
