Drake's Equation lies at the core of the Fermi Paradox and SETI, the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, but is it a good guide in our search for aliens, and what does modern astronomy tell us about the probabilities of finding life on exoplanets?

The Fermi Paradox contemplates the weirdness of our galaxy seemingly being devoid of intelligent alien life, but Many Worlds Theory, Multiverses, Parallel Universe, and Alternate Realities may radically alter our thinking on Aliens & SETI.

Alien Languages

Science fiction amazes us with futuristic technology and weapons, but many like the laser pistol, raygun, or lightsaber seem high-tech versions of old tech. Are such weapons possible and if so, could they have a role in future warfare?

Laser Pistols & Lightsabers

Arcologies are type of future giant buildings, towns, or off-world outposts where architecture meets ecology and contains entirely self-sufficient communities, from homes to farms and factories.

Arcology Design (Narration Only)

Arcology Design

Our Sun constantly froths with sunspots and solar flares, many larger than our planet, and yet these are dwarfed by Coronal Mass Ejections, such as the Carrington Event of 1859, which would have wiped out our communication and electric grid had it occurred today. For all of that, our Sun is far less volatile than most stars, and this may be a factor in why Earth has a technological civilization.
