    The Formula That Will Determine Our Energy Future

    We all want a cleaner, more renewable energy. But when it comes down to it, the energy of the future is going to be the cheapest energy. So in this video, we compare energy production by the Levelized Cost of Energy, or LCOE – the formula that will determine our energy future.

    The Quantum Theory That Might Make You Immortal

    Quantum physics is dominated by the idea that quantum objects remain in superposition until they are measured, which causes its wave function to collapse. But there is another interpretation of quantum mechanics, one with mind-blowing implications about the universe and our lives. It’s the many-worlds interpretation, and some believe it imbues us with a kind of immortality. Want to support the channel?

    Five Advanced Space Drives

    I recently talked about some of the most habitable exoplanets which unfortunately we’ll never be able to reach because our technology can’t do it. But there are some very interesting concepts being developed that could change all that – if they work. Want to support the channel?

    Was There An Advanced Civilization Before Humans?

    It took humans 10,000 years to go from hunter-gatherers to world domination. Considering the vastness of time that humans and life have been on Earth, could this have happened once before? This question was put forth by Adam Frank and Gavin Schmidt in their paper titled The Silurian Hypothesis, where they tried to figure out what in the geologic record would be a sign of a previous industrial civilization. It brings up a lot of questions and makes you deal with the weight of deep time, as well as the fleeting nature of history. Want to support the channel?
