This podcast episode delves into the mathematics behind sound waves and how they travel through space using different types of equations, such as hyperbolic and parabolic equations, and even touches on minimal surface theory.
If extraterrestrial civilizations exist, and they were expanding slowly, our sky would be full of vast spheres that were full of activity. The last parameter, speed, comes from the fact that when we look in the sky, we don't see them.
The potential of future engineering biology is to expand how humans experience time, perpetuating life almost indefinitely, according to science communicator Jamie Metzl. Similar to the evolution of sight or the development of a brain and language both of which have fueled human civilization, adjusting humans to many possible intergalactic destinies.
The possibility of faster-than-light travel is still open in the realm of general relativity, but it would require manipulating heavy objects with extreme distortions of space-time. A change in the speed of light could indicate that we are living in a simulated reality.
Understanding the theory of conscious agents and space-time as an interface could lead to the discovery of new structures beyond space-time, opening up new portals of exploration.
