Intergalactic Voyages 

Our pleasure!

@@isaacarthurSFIA Considering that the oceans will boil in the next 400 years due to waste heat; I doubt humanity will be able to make airline flights, let alone intergalactic travel. What's your take on how we should deal with rising temperature problems caused by climate change? How will heating up a planet 3 degrees affect rocket launches and take off?

We could just block 2-3% of the sunlight that hits the Earth, but that would require trillions of these things humans call monies.

@Jack Sparrow I doubt the oceans will boil in 400yrs

@@jimboscooter432 And I doubt you can do math, or know how bad the climate is getting.

Same.

Indeed I remember the after the first few episodes I though “this guy is great, I wonder how long it will be until he runs out of Fermi Paradox questions to write about and the channel slows down?” But, I’ve been so fortunately surprised with its longevity and ever improving quality!

We worship science here, sir. Hide your shame!

i have no shame and the only thing i worship is the cosmos itself.

@Dados, Ciência e Sustentabilidade It seems well hidden, then. I accept this, for now....

Hail, the algorithm

Thank you so much!

This is how the paperclip optimizer got created. But instead of paperclips, aluminum. :D

When he brought into the idea the expansion of the universe making intraglactic spacelanes subject to being torn apart by the expansion of the universe... That's right, right? I don't know I just dropped right back into a speculative space without emotional investment.

They impress me, I love the graphics! But that's all we have, seriously. I think the comment-section is depressing as HELL, it just slays me that anyone can think any of us is going ANYWHERE in this context!!! It's really not sane.

We can be the ones that lay the foundation, that build the groundworks for this brave new future. Or we can be the ones that lounge in obscurity and if anything make sure it never happens. Never underestimate the impact you can have.

I think there’s a decent chance some of us may well live to see this future. As Isaac said, live forever or die trying!

That’s what really inspires, is the things we leave behind, and the things we help bring into being, even if, and I would say especially if, we don’t see the ending.

@@mj6463 yeah, it’s not that we won’t live to see it, we’re seeing it right now, we just won’t see how it will end

Glad it was helpful!

I loved that book. I read it back in the 70s, and I still think about the concepts covered in the novel quite often.

11:35 for reference

Thanks Joe, I really appreciate that :)

Good show though I think it struggled in season 2

Star gate universe wasnt that good. Sg1 and sga were much better

The star gate universe is honestly mesmerizing ❤ one of my favorites

@@spencervance8484isn’t that still the star gate universe?

@@Texasplit there are three series. SG:1, SG:A, and SG:U. Im complaining about SG:U. Its awful. Maybe it picks up later, but the multiple episodes i watched were pretty bad

Thank you kindly!

Much appreciated!

Avarsarla and holden allowed this to happen? I haven't read the books but i have seen the show and I'm waiting for the next season.

@@shubhamkumar6689 Sadly they cancelled the show. We aren't getting anything further; but in terms of the books Earth falls as the leader of humanity after the belt starts tossing rocks at them, the trade union becomes the new de facto government over humanity in all 1300 systems over a couple decades between Lakonia isolating and coming in to take over. Avasarala is long retired when Lakonia attacks and the UN and Earth have very little power, Holden is in his late 50's and has just been a errand boy for the trade union. It is actually both Avasarala and Holden that tell Drummer who is head of the trade union during the invasion to surrender to save Sol System and Holden ends up surrendering himself to Lakonia since he knows what is going on with the aliens that killed the gate builders and are now coming after humans. The final 2 books pick up 5 years after Sol surrenders at Avasurela's funeral on Lakonia where Holden and Avasurela had been political prisoners with free range of Lakonia and the Lakonian head of state pretending making them look like they were honoured transplants and advisors from the Sol system. The final epilogue was AMAZING though since not only does it tie up a lot of loose ends; it goes 1000 years into the future from the final events to give you a glimpse of what has become of Sol System as a result of everything that happened with the Protomolecule.

@@CartoonHero1986 Wow! I wouldn't have predicted that. Story is amazing. I would love to see a happy ending of 'The Expanse' because it was one of my favourite shows. One of the writer and Amos are on RU-vid, 'Ty and that guy' is the name of the channel. I think they'll make one more season in future.

@@shubhamkumar6689 I mean... the ending of the books isn't exactly a "happy ending" so much as it is a satisfying one that ends the story well and all the main characters accept and are for the most part at peace with... but it still ends in a lot of deaths in terms of named characters and humanity in general, but it could have ended in extinction or something far creepier.

@@CartoonHero1986 satisfying end is better than extinction of humanity, so I'll take it. Lol

“We’ll take the entire galaxy, AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!” “I’M TURNING THIS GALAXY AROUND. THAT’S IT, BACK TO THE LOCAL GROUP.”

​@@oberonpanopticon lol

They're my favorite. I love the idea that in some galaxy, possibly outside our observable universe, there are giant advanced civilizations like this. We'll never even know they exist but it's cool to imagine what beings, lives, and civilizations could be active right now.
