Cheap Astronomy - Implausible Engineering Episode 1: How To Live Longer & Talk To Aliens
Manage episode 444532106 series 49427
Hosted by Steve Nerlich.
Episode 1a: The Relativity Vault
We’re all going to die. But let’s say you’re going to die from some incurable disease – or even just from
ageing – and you’ve got some time to plan ahead. One option is to assume that future science could
save you. A common strategy to access this option is to get yourself frozen – or even just get your head
frozen –until medical science can find a cure for whatever ails you.
Episode 1b: The welcome note
One solution to Fermi’s paradox – about why there’s a universe of potentially habitable worlds out
there, but no-one’s talking - is that we are the first, or at least one of the first technology-exploiting
species. After all, it’s unlikely much could have happened when the early Universe full of hydrogen,
helium and a few trace elements – you need stellar nucleosynthesis to build more complex elements
and supernovae to spread those elements out.
