Escaping The Galaxy (Narration Only)

Current science and cosmology tell us the Universe will slowly die and ebb away countless trillions of trillions of years from now, but another model - the Big Rip - says that end may come far sooner, ripped apart by dark energy. Could civilizations survive the Universe itself being torn apart at the atomic scale?

Civilizations at the End of Time: The Big Rip

As we find more and more exoplanets, we glimpse enormous "Super Earths" worlds more massive than our own. Could these harbor life and would we be able to colonize or terraform them?
