Episodes
1. Homo-Spaciens25m · This episode looks at what the future of space exploration means for human evolution. What are the long-term consequences of colonizing other planets? Could we eventually evolve into many diverse “space species”?
2. Life Eternal25m · This episode looks at the science of longevity and how we can extend human life in the future. This can include everything from “hacking” our bodies to slow (or perhaps even stop) the aging process, to cryonics, and more. Will we eventually live forever, at least in some form? If so, will we want to?
3. Body Shop25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at the science of regeneration and how it will impact people in the future. How are scientists already beginning to regenerate organs and body parts? How will this continue to advance? Will we reach out a point where we can keep regenerating our body parts forever? What will this mean for the future?
4. Making Contact25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at interspecies communication, uncovering the progress scientists are making with high-functioning animals like dolphins and gorillas on Earth, as well as how it will one day progress into future communication with extra-terrestrials. What can we learn through communication? When we finally make contact with aliens, how will change the world as we know it?
5. Future Living25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how we will have to adapt to live on Earth in the future. As our population continues to grow, and our climate becomes more extreme, where will we go? Into cities underground? Under the ocean? On the ocean? How will these new environments challenge us? What will we have to do to adapt?
6. Rise of the Cyborgs25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how “cyborg” technology is becoming increasingly common and advanced. How will this continue to evolve in the future? Will we someday choose to electively alter ourselves in different ways? How will this change our lives? How will this change what it means to be human?
7. Digi-Life25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how new technologies may someday make it possible to live forever in digital form. Will we someday have the ability to upload our minds to the internet? Will our loved ones live on as virtual “beings” that we can interact with forever?
8. Mastering Memory25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how we can modify ourselves to develop super human traits, such as implantable memories. What else is on the horizon? Will we someday have brain implants that can insert knowledge directly into our minds? How will this change us? We will develop a race of “super humans”?
9. Surviving the End25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how life on planet Earth can begin again after a global catastrophe. What safety nets do we have in place now to help us start over? What challenges will we face? How will we have to adapt? What happens… after the end?
10. A Friend in AI25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how we depend on AI now and how our lives will become more intertwined with it in the future. Will AI eventually become our “friend”? Are we capable of developing meaningful relationships with robots?
11. A New Reality25m · Get up-close and personal with leading scientists and innovators as they reveal how cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries will change our lives. This episode looks at how virtual reality will transform our lives. How is this technology already transforming our interactions with other people? When the majority of our interactions are no longer personal, how will that impact society at large? Will we reach a point where we can no longer tell the difference between the “real” world and the “virtual” world?More Like This
