As we seek to travel vast distances to claim the galaxy, we will need to develop strategies and methods for voyaging through deep space and reaching strange new worlds.

Sprnding thousands of years on a spaceship is dubious at best. Things will wear out and hull damage will wear down the ships structure over hundreds of years. A hull that could last that long would have be very heavy guage steel like material. Of course perhaps a concrete coated hull to resist micro meteors. You still need material supplys to last and machine shops and engeniring sections. You also need family housing pluss education facilitties and logistics.
How about modifying the Human DNA so that humans can live on a planet without Terraforming?
Intergalactic space isn't empty, it has stars all the way there, they are just further and further apart, reaching densities low enough that they are perhaps 10,000 ly between stars, but they are there.
Was it my imagination or did hear WH40k planet names. Also I can’t be the only person waiting on Issac to write scientifically accurate sci-fi novel. All he needs is a plot he has all the technical data needed for a great novel setting.
You should talk to Peter Ziehan.
Maybe in earlier episodes i noticed a slight speech impediment but to be honest last few years you speak better than most people i know. I look forward to another 9 years from you mate.
watched this over on Nebula 'which still doesn't have a comment section 🙁 '
was wondering how the mass and resources these various ship concepts compare to the current manufacturing capacity of the major players or even the entire world's mining launching and manufacturing capacity.
seems like the smallest version discussed might be buildable by either the USA, China, or the EU with a major commitment in only a few decades, while the largest would require a few centuries after increasing the solar systems total capacity by a couple orders of magnitude. i may be way off on my wild guess here just curious about the timeline and resource investment a fleet of gardener ships would take
Loved: "its still a good strategy to learn to get along with your niegbors"
Always very good, and been watching since day one. A question:
If any colony is effectively populated by aliens why seed a colony in the first place? Indeed all one is doing is either making potential rivals or throwing a lot of effort in to the void of space..
You know that black hole in the inside of a fabricated planet scene he shows? What would that ACTUALLY look like if you, from an outside observer position, look at this planet?? and if you were able to cut a section of the planet away to show the BH inside – what would THAT really look like considered it's enveloped and surrounded almost almost completely? Hmmm
Episode idea or Episode search: is there a great filter Episode about ai?
Ooo a new video thanks brother! 😊
We need to begin the trip out with tech to send and receive updates and improvements to drive and other technologies.
9th! Damn that’s how long I’ve been ciggie free! Nice.
What are your thoughts on something like Chat GPT? What happens when the next generation of machine learning is capable of generating novel ideas, hypotheses, and theories? An intelligence explosion? The technological (not physics) singularity??? Great content as always.
You have a typo in the first link in the video description here.
Happy New Year!
Was once an optimist about these kind of thing. Now seeing so much chaos and divides all over civilization that it appears we will not be able to get together enough to accomplish this kind of endeavor.
I think FTL will be achieved. Imagine going back to the 1400s and telling the scholars of that time that we will have flying machines and a space station and this thing called electricity that makes our phones work.. they would have burned you at the stake for such a preposterous thing to say. But it is reality.
Think about how fast tech evolved, who are we to say we won’t find some kind of other molecular principle similar to the breakthrough of electricity that we will manipulate one day in the future that makes FTL not only possible mathematically, but practical in reality.
@Isaac Arthur with respect sir your "speech impediment" is irrelevant what you say is easily understood moreover the video's you continue to make show your someone who is highly intelligent and thoughtful about the topics and certainly know a lot about it, while I respectfully disagree in that i don't believe Aliens exist or that humans will ever leave Earth for anything other then the kinds of things already done, I could be wrong but even if I'm right it's still fun to consider the "what if's" and the "how might we go about…" and who knows what will actually happen? if I am wrong and we do eventually try to set up a colony somewhere and in the future at some point we would need people considering how it might be done. it seems to me your doing just that in your videos and with very creative ways Sir I wish you the best!
