One day humanity may settle countless worlds, but could any nation hope to govern multiple planets or even star systems?

An exploration of an extension of the Phosphorus Problem solution to the Fermi Paradox. It’s far worse of a problem than we thought.

Gauging whether or not we dwell inside someone else’s computer may come down to advanced AI research—or measurements at the frontiers of cosmology.
The only people who absolutely disagree are, well, scientists. They need to get over themselves and join the fun.

In the 1940s, computer pioneer Konrad Zuse began to speculate that the universe might be nothing but a giant computer continually executing formal rules to compute its own evolution. He published the first paper on this radical idea in 1967, and since then it has provoked an ever-increasing response from popular culture (the film The Matrix, for example, owes a great deal to Zuse’s theories) and hard science alike.
Scientists say that long genes — which are more susceptible to DNA damage — might be a main cause of the body’s aging and could play a role in. the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s.

The manifestation of the quantum gravitational field becomes evident when observing phenomena at the Planck’s length scale. Hence, the tiniest constituent of our cosmos, which is not even perceptible, must exist at the scale of Planck’s length.
As traditional top-down approaches like photolithography reach their limitations in creating nanostructures, scientists are shifting their focus toward bottom-up strategies. Central to this paradigm shift is the self-assembly of homogeneous soft matter, a burgeoning technique with the potential to produce complex nano-patterns on a vast scale.
