In the 40s and 50s we had no computers and atoms. We split the atom and created atomic bombs l. Now in the 2020s we have quantum computers, how strong would a bomb be if we were to split a quantum?
In the year 2525. If man is still alive, if woman can survive. We may fiiiiind...
Depends on the level of the AI. If it's past the point of literal godhood and continues to improve itself every second, the aliens would quickly have their technology surpassed.
Making supersoldiers is a great idea, but they need limits. Super strong, fast and durable BUT make them as dumb and loyal as puppies. Khan from Star Trek: Wrath of Khan was terrifying because he was also smarter than any human. Make them similar to Ogryns from Warhammer 40k and all will be well.
I think Isaac had uploaded the wrong episode
The final sentence in an all-time classic sci-fi short story 'Let There Be Light'
Maybe intelligent living diamonds populating the surface of a planet similar to Pluto.
For anyone who likes this particular episode and old weird fiction similar to H.P. Lovecraft. Might I suggest William Hope Hodgson's The Night Lands and The House on the Borderlands. Particularly the later as it involves vast gulfs of time travel.
The best - my favorite all-time smart interesting & fun science podcast
Nice podcast
This podcast is thoughtful, deep, rational, exciting & a lot of fun to consider the ideas put forth. Listen to it or go extinct !
I absolutely love this podcast. I love the theoretical sci fi ideas that comes up and how they can happen practically. 10/10!
Just what I’ve been looking for - in-depth analysis on very nerdy things. I love it TY Isaac
Fantastic! I've been listening to your videos on YouTube for a while now. I love your content and the way you cover it. Thank you for creating such an amazing and entertaining collection of thoughts.
favourite series, very very interesting musings.
best YouTube Chanel ever!
Could the EAGLES winning a second super bowl be a possible prediction from you Mr Authur?
