info_outline Cheap Astronomy - Implausible Engineering Ep. 2: Embracing Your Inner RobotThe 365 Days of Astronomy
Robots Like Us... Implausible Engineering – Episode 2a: Brain in a robot In a step towards technoevolution and potential immortality that some future generation of humanity will develop the ability to transfer their brains into robot bodies and hence have prolonged if not immortal lives. Various complications arise in trying to engineer this. Assuming you have all the vital veins and arteries attached to tubes which feeds a nutrient solution in and out with some kind of hemoglobin carrier in it that donates oxygen and removes carbon dioxide – all you are really doing is replacing the life...
info_outline Exoplanet Radio Ep. 28: How Starshades Can Help Find New WorldsThe 365 Days of Astronomy
From August 28, 2023. Most of the 5,000 exoplanets discovered so far have been found using methods that don’t actually see the planet at all. Brightness dimmings and star wobbles only get us so far. They limit our ability to study them in detail and astronomers are working on gigantic starshades to resolve planets directly!
