Dr. Clément Vidal joins John Michael Godier to discuss his new paper on the Spider Stellar Engine, a hypothetical form of stellar propulsion using binary pulsar systems. The conversation explores how such systems could serve as **technosignatures**, the philosophy of post-biological civilizations, and the potential for advanced beings to manipulate entire stars or even create new universes.

Klotho Gene Therapy Increases Lifespan

“.

Gene therapy was used to increase levels of Klotho, one of the first longevity genes discovered in the 1990’s, in mice. This led to improved physical fitness, muscular regenerative capacity, bone micrstructure, neurogenesis and a 20% increase in lifespan.
