Synthetic Meat
July 04, 2019 12:01 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBThere are many reasons not to eat meat, or at least less of it: medical, ethical, economical, or ecological, but the stuff is quite tasty. Today we'll look at how artificial meat technologies in the near future might allow us to produce a genuine alternative to modern methods of standard agriculture or meat substitutes, and maybe even some exotic meats not available at the supermarket.

Beam Powered Spaceships (Narration Only)
June 27, 2019 11:51 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBIn order to get into space, we require either huge amounts of rocket fuel or dangerously powerful energy sources, making personal spacecraft a technology limited to science fiction. But by harnessing beamed power sources to run engines, we may be able to create a spaceplane cheap enough and safe enough that anyone could have one in the future.

Superpowers
June 20, 2019 14:07 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBThe dream of having superhuman abilities is as old as humanity, and appeared in everything from mythology to comic books, but the future might offer technologies that turn these dreams into reality. Today we'll explore some of those options, from superstrength and speed to options like telepathy.

Colonizing Pluto
June 06, 2019 11:43 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBPluto and it's largest moon, Charon, are so far from the Sun and so tiny that they would not seem like promising options for interplanetary colonization. However, they may turn out to be excellent prospects precisely because the double dwarf planet offers some unique options, like space elevators right from surface to surface.

Fleet Of Stars
May 16, 2019 14:09 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBInterstellar travel is very time consuming, moving from star to star, but perhaps we could use stars themselves as spaceships, and move whole solar systems or even galaxies. Today we'll look at how to use Shkadov Thrusters, novas, supernovae, black holes and quasars to move through space, literal starships.

Post-Apocalyptic Civilizations
April 27, 2019 14:01 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MBThe End of the World is a popular topic in science fiction and a source of serious worry for modern civilizations.

Matrioskha Worlds
April 25, 2019 14:10 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MBThe galaxy contains countless billions of planets we might colonize, and we may build far more living area as space station habitats and megastructures, but Earth will always be unique and living here prized.

Today we'll take a look at such concerns and if they might be common or rare, rogue examples. Or if, counter-intuitively, they benefit us in settling the galaxy in the future.

Planet Ships

So what about moving our planet or even converting it or another world into a spaceship? Can we use entire planets to cross the intergalactic void to settle planets in distant galaxies or superclusters? And what sort of engine and drive could move a whole planet?

Dying Stars
March 21, 2019 14:11 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBOne of the biggest reasons for colonizing other worlds is to ensure we don't die with our own sun, but even those alien suns we might travel to will die one day. And yet, our image of stars living than erupting spectacular as a red giant or supernova, present a somewhat false impression, as those stellar remnants often last far longer than the stars which bore them. Could civilizations survive around these dead stars? Could they even outlast the End of the Universe, as the last stars...

March 14, 2019 14:41 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBScience Fiction often presents us technologies that go far beyond the realms of known science, but many of these, such as force fields, inertial dampeners, anti-gravity, or faster than light travel might be possible if our future knowledge of physics holds some surprises.

The Fermi Paradox & the Aurora Effect
March 10, 2019 16:50 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBA 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.

Galactic Gardeners
February 07, 2019 14:21 - 30 minutes - 28 MBThe galaxy is an immense place, with billions of solar systems to colonize, and interstellar voyages to even nearby stars can take centuries. In order to explore and settle those new worlds, we may wish to take advantage of a type of generation ship that stops at planet after planet, colonizing each in turn, and entire colonial fleets that grow as they venture outward from Earth, creating new spaceships as often as terraforming new worlds.
