A look at various Cataclysmic Scenarios in terms of how they factor into the Fermi Paradox. We'll look at everything from Biowarfare and AI to Nukes and Grey Goo


FP03 - Apocalypse How

By contemplating the idea of what true Kardashev 2 and 3 civilizations might look like, in the context of Megastructures, we re-assess the Fermi Paradox and come up with a new question, no longer "Why can't we see any alien civilizations?" but why we can see any stars in the night sky at all.

FP02 - Dyson Dilemma

This series takes a look at concepts for everything from Terraforming Planets and Interstellar Colonization to more down to Earth matters like Arcologies and Planet Wide Cities before examining using black holes as power sources for starships.We then leap into the far distance future at the end of time to examine civilizations surviving around black holes after all the stars have died out.

CS08 - Black Hole Starships

CS06 - Interstellar Colonization

CS03 - The Impact Of Nuclear Fusion

This videos covers two topics, the Anthropic Principle, which uses the idea that your own existence might skew the odds of events you witness, and the basic concepts of Super-Intelligence, and what we might expect of humans or artificial intelligence that achieve that.

EC04 The Anthropic Principle And Super Intelligence

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 series looks at a number of concepts in science and technology that challenge our fundamental notions of Life, the Universe, and Everything... including our own existence.

EC00 Intro

A look at Dark Matter, what it is, what it isn't, and what it might be used for.

Dark Matter

This episode continues our look at Colonizing Space by examining the idea of Asteroid Mining and setting up colonies on Asteroids. We explore the science as well as practical issues of engineering, economics, legality, and psychology of such distant outposts.

CS04b - Asteroid Mining

An in-depth survey of the various technologies for spaceship propulsion, both from those we can expect to see in a few years and those at the edge of theoretical science. We'll break them down to basics and familiarize ourselves with the concepts.
Note: I made a rather large math error about the Force per Power the EmDrive exerts at 32:10, initial tentative results for thrust are a good deal higher than I calculated compared to a flashlight
