Tales of the Dark Forest (Nameca Remix) by Nikita Zabelin

400,000 of you showed up for physics with no compromises, so I did something different for the milestone. No highlight reel. I took your hardest questions live and answered them, then got honest about the part of this job nobody asks about: the discipline behind running a serious science podcast. We get into why clocks didn't tick differently in the early universe, what it actually means that the Big Bang happened everywhere at once, and whether JWST has any real shot at catching a Population III star before it's gone. Then it gets contested. I make the case that language models may rediscover physics before they rediscover mathematics, walk through why enormous numbers do not get you to alien life, and look at the moment Avi Loeb quietly softened his ʻOumuamua position. In this conversation: Why the early universe didn't run on a different clock The Big Bang as an everywhere-at-once event, not an explosion in space JWST and the hunt for the first generation of stars Whether an LLM could rediscover Einstein, and what that would mean for who controls discovery Why I read every book my guests write, and why that habit is the channel Get the transcript, bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C.

Pour clôturer en beauté la saison de sa chronique, Margaux Lassalle met en lumière "The Wow! Signal", le dixième album studio du trio britannique Muse. Ce titre fait directement référence au mystérieux signal radio d'une puissance extrême capté en 1977 aux États-Unis, longtemps considéré comme une possible preuve de vie extraterrestre. Véritable passion pour Matt Bellamy et ses acolytes, ce thème cosmique et futuriste irrigue un disque résolument ambitieux qui navigue entre rock et musique électronique. Ce nouveau projet brille par sa diversité, s'aventurant même sur le terrain inattendu du disco-funk avec "Nightshift Superstar", le morceau le moins typique de la formation. À l'inverse, Muse ravira ses admirateurs de la première heure avec des clins d'œil marqués à ses débuts. C'est le cas du vertigineux "Cryogen", qui rappelle l'ère de l'album "Origin of Symmetry", ou encore du magistral "The Dark Forest" placé en ouverture. Avec son ambiance western cinématographique, sa montée orchestrale et son final apocalyptique, ce dernier n'est pas sans évoquer le mythique "Knights of Cydonia". L'intensité atteint également des sommets grandioses avec les envolées épiques d'Hexagons. Ce disque marque par ailleurs une grande première pour le groupe avec "Hush", un véritable duo vocal parfaitement réussi et partagé avec la chanteuse britannique Ellie Goulding. L'émotion prend finalement le dessus sur le titre de clôture, "Space Debris", un morceau intime et bouleversant sur lequel Matt Bellamy aborde avec pudeur le deuil amoureux et la perte d'un être cher. Bien que l'ensemble puisse paraître un peu court, notamment en raison de la révélation de la moitié des chansons en amont de la sortie, Muse signe un retour en très grande forme avec un album majestueux et viscéralement fidèle à son identité.

Hey Bobs! We're deep into Star City Season 1, Episode 4 — “Dark Forest” — and this one hit different.Donnie landed on a solid 8 while Brian went 9. After the emotional and espionage-heavy setup of the first three episodes, this one starts pulling the threads tight: Irina's promotion to field agent, Raskova feeling the heat from Moscow, and the Chief Designer quietly assembling a crew for a secret nine-month mission that has massive implications. We also finally learn the truth about Valya… and it changes everything.We break down the growing paranoia, the “information as a weapon” theme, Sasha and Tanya's complicated dynamic, and why the show keeps getting better with every episode. The Venus mission is officially on the table, and the tension is rising fast.Drop your theories at happyvalleyfam@gmail.com — we read every one!See you next week, Bobs!

The fallout of the lunar-mission accident is wide reaching. We learn how a Star City resident can be compromised by those diabolical Americans. Tania is concerned about her husband’s fidelity, but nobody believes her. A newly arrived scientist follows the sound of hammering to discover her unlikely destiny with the inner solar system. And as the tables may be turning on Lyudmilla, her young protegé Irina makes a discovery that could crack the case wide open—or put her in serious danger. Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

BFRO investigator Marsha Clarke returns to Bigfoot Society with one of the most intense expedition interviews ever featured on the show.Deep in the Iowa woods, experienced investigators begin reporting eye shine around camp, movement outside vehicles, shadow figures near tents, strange vocalizations, and encounters that leave witnesses physically shaken. One late-night incident inside Marsha's tent forces her to re-examine years of unexplained experiences in the field.The episode also dives into terrifying encounters from South Carolina and Eastern Tennessee involving thermal footage, bluff charges, multiple entities surrounding investigators, and possible infrasound events witnessed by BFRO expedition members.These are detailed field reports from people who spend their lives searching remote forests for answers.www.bfro.net

【聊了什么The What】 点击疲惫娇娃专属链接购买《挽救计划》中文翻译本：https://s.click.taobao.com/TGDx25m 同样是面对太阳危机，有人选择抽签牺牲一半人口，有人选择赌上性命去相信一个异星邻居。 本期节目，我们聊了聊这部披着硬科幻外壳的暖心喜剧。为什么比起刘慈欣式的黑暗森林和牺牲叙事，Andy Weir这种复古的、甚至有点天真的技术乐观主义反而更让人泪流满面？节目还深入挖掘了电影与原著的观感差异：从书中惊心动魄的硬核推理，到电影中极具魅力的物理喜剧，以及那个手搓一切的claude code大蜘蛛Rocky。 What do you do when faced with a galaxy-wide astrophage crisis that threatens the center of our solar system: the sun? While some choose a lottery system that sacrifices half of humanity (hi Thanos), others stake their lives on trusting an alien neighbor. In this episode, we dive into Project Hail Mary, a heartwarming comedy wrapped in a hard sci-fi shell. In a world that leans more towards Liu Cixin's Dark Forest survivalism theory and narratives of forced sacrifice, why does Andy Weir's retro—and perhaps slightly naive—technological optimism move us to tears? We break down the page-to-screen adaptation, Ryan Gosling's incredibly charismatic physical comedy, and why everyone is falling in love with Rocky, the spider-like engineer (aka your personal Claude Code) who literally hand-crafts anything and everything. 【时间轴 The When】 01:41：《挽救计划》电影概况：2026年全球热议的科幻巨作 11:29：书影对比：原著中的物理推演与电影的影视化改编 19:41：演技大赏：瑞恩·高斯林如何赋予主角人性厚度 26:34：Rocky的魅力：手搓通道、心算能力与类似中文的沟通方式 31:20：缅怀贝尔实验室：那个充满纯真与乐观的美国技术黄金时代 35:57：斯特拉特：桑德拉·惠勒如何塑造坚定的“哲人王” 42:39：为什么我们要反思“必须死掉一半人”的科幻设定 48:45：姚指挥官与卢钦卡的《Wind of Change》瞬间 54:24：反战与互信：《House of Dynamite》和黑暗森林法则的破解 58:29：博弈论死局：用利他选择破解“别人先开枪”的焦虑 01:41: Project Hail Mary Overview: The Global Sci-Fi Sensation of 2026 11:29: Page vs. Screen: Hard-Core Physics Deductions meets Cinematic Adaptation 19:41: Performance Review: How Ryan Gosling Adds Human Depth to His Character 26:34: The Charm of Rocky: Hand-Crafted Tunnels, Mental Math, and a Chinese-Style Way of Communicating 31:20: Ode to Bell Labs: The Pure and Optimistic Golden Age of American Tech 35:57: Stratt: How Sandra Hüller Shapes a Resolute "Philosopher King" 42:39: Deconstructing the Trope: Why We Must Rethink the "Half of Humanity Must Die" Sci-Fi Setup 48:45: Commander Yao and Ilyukhina's "Wind of Change" Moment 54:24: Anti-War and Mutual Trust: Breaking the Dark Forest Law via House of Dynamite 58:29: The Game Theory Deadlock: Overcoming the "Who Shoots First" Anxiety with Altruism 【拓展链接 The Links】 点击疲惫娇娃专属链接购买《挽救计划》中文翻译本：https://s.click.taobao.com/TGDx25m 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

Are we alone? In this short-isode, Elton traces the bizarre, hilarious, and occasionally unhinged history of humanity's quest for alien communication. From Frank Drake's Equation in 1961, a mathematical roadmap for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), to the times before radio, when our ideas were pure fantasy: he dives into the wild ideas and scams. Like, the 19th-century scheme to burn massive geometric messages onto the surface of Mars using a gargantuan, laser-focused mirror. For real.From those ambitious, largely insane, early visual signals to the iconic messages we've strapped to spaceships—we've spent centuries leaving a very expensive voicemail for an unknown recipient.We also explore the cosmic artifacts and phenomena that made us stop and whisper, "Is someone calling us?" Learn the true story behind the Black Knight Satellite (spoiler: it's an escaped blanket), the enduring mystery of the Wow! Signal, and the strange case of 'Oumuamua, the cigar-shaped interstellar visitor.Finally, we confront the ultimate cosmic buzzkill: the Fermi Paradox. If the galaxy should be crowded, "Where is everybody?" We discuss the terrifying ethical debate over intentional messaging (METI) and the chilling logic of the Dark Forest Theory. Tune in to find out why, even in crushing silence, we simply cannot stop shouting "Hello?" into the dark.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Martians, New Yorkers...again, TalkToAliens.com users, UFO conspiracy theorists, etc.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration.Tags: Drake Equation, Fermi Paradox, SETI, METI, Extraterrestrial Intelligence, Frank Drake, Cosmic Silence, Voyager Golden Records, Pioneer Plaques, Arecibo Message, Alien Communication, Interstellar Communication, Charles Cros, Wow!

Intuitives Bogenschießen; Woraus Bäume bestehen; Und gibt es eigentlich Plastik im Universum?    Chris hat gerade Baustelle, aber darüber reden wir nicht. Stattdessen nimmt Alex uns mit zum Bogenschießen. Intuitiv, ohne Visier, mit einem 30-Pfund-Bogen, der nach langer Pause plötzlich viel zu schwer ist. Selbstgebaute Bögen aus einem einzigen Stück Holz, Reitbogenschießen im Galopp und ein Content Creator, der Pole Dance und Bogenschießen kombiniert. Kopfüber.  Weiter zu mittelalterlichen Waffen als Handwerksobjekte und zur Faszination, wenn Material eine Seele bekommt. Peter hat eine Ukulele gebaut, Jan einen Bass. Chris kennt den Moment, in dem ein Sammelsurium von Holz und Saiten plötzlich ein Instrument ist. Gibt es in der Software übrigens auch. Bäume sind faszinierend. Chris hat ein Video gesehen und klärt uns auf. Der Organismus Baum lebt nicht im Holz, sondern in einer hauchdünnen Schicht zwischen Rinde und Kern. Und das Holz selbst? Im Wesentlichen materialisierte Luft. Der Baum frisst nicht die Erde, er baut sich aus Kohlendioxid. Vielleicht das seltenste Material im Universum. Pinke Photosynthese, Sci-Fi-Planeten mit rosa Bäumen und Andy Weirs „Project Hail Mary, ein Buch, das Chris sehr berührt hat. Weil Kollaboration against all odds schöner ist als der Dark Forest. Haie gibt es seit 400 Millionen Jahren. Die haben eine komplette Galaxie-Umdrehung mitgemacht. Schnabeltiere können mit ihrem Schwanz Dinge festhalten. Und Bären sind taxonomisch gesehen hundeartig.

Does this experiment in extreme nihilism reflect our current moment? Listen to find out. 

In this solo episode, I explore the Dark Forest theory—a provocative answer to the Fermi paradox suggesting that intelligent civilizations may survive by remaining silent and hidden in a dangerous universe.From there, I follow a series of philosophical and theological connections. I discuss the work of Bogna Konior, traditions of negative theology and the hidden God, Gnostic suspicions about the cosmos, and the darker vision of nature explored by Jill Carroll in The Savage Side: Reclaiming Violent Models of God. I also bring in mystical ideas from Kabbalah—like Tzimtzum and Ayin—alongside psychoanalytic reflections from Richard Boothby on the sacred and the encounter with Das Ding.This episode is speculative and exploratory, asking what it might mean if the deepest structure of reality is marked less by revelation than by silence, hiddenness, and mystery.

My buddy Andrew Davis is back on the pod, and this time we're talking about aliens — yes, that kind. Andrew is a process philosopher who's been publishing serious academic work in astrobiology, and with Obama casually confirming UFOs are real, the Age of Disclosure documentary making waves, and Spielberg's Disclosure Day film on the way, it felt like the right time to ask: how does a Whiteheadian process thinker engage the question of extraterrestrial life? Turns out, with a lot more philosophical firepower than you'd expect. We dig into Andrew's critical engagement with Steven Dick's cosmo-theology and why he thinks Dick is right that humanity is cosmologically peripheral but wrong to draw the metaphysical conclusion that we're therefore insignificant — because we're an anthropo-cosmic expression of what this universe is doing, not an accident in it. Andrew introduces his concept of exo-axiology (the philosophical exploration of value beyond Earth), and we get into why Whitehead's philosophy of organism flips the modern assumption that the universe is fundamentally dead and life is the weird anomaly. For Whitehead, life, mind, and value go all the way down — which means if you rewind evolution on another planet with the right conditions, something like us might show up again, not because it's designed for us, but because the universe is in the business of producing aesthetic intensities. We tackle the Fermi Paradox, the Dark Forest hypothesis, whether aliens would be hostile or hospitable (Andrew's a cosmological optimist who thinks any civilization advanced enough to reach us would've had to undergo a spiritual evolution to get past the bottleneck), plasma intelligence, UAPs, and why we should take people's encounter experiences seriously without being naive about them. Phil Clayton apparently thinks Andrew is the David Ray Griffin of this generation, so take that for what it's worth — it's worth a lot. Also, if you've had a weird encounter story and want to share it, send it to me. I'm collecting them. And if you've been wanting to get into Whitehead's process philosophy, Andrew's intro course is running in March and April at whiteheadsuniverse.com Listeners who took the last round loved it. Limited space.

This week, we did something a little different — we built our own tier list website just so we could rank 80s sitcoms without fighting pop-ups and autoplay ads. Totally normal behavior.But here's the twist: we're not ranking them based on how “important” they were at the time. We're asking a much more dangerous question:Would we actually rewatch this in 2026?That framework leads to some very strong opinions.

This week we talk about conceptualizing and operationalizing ideas in educational research and the impact of that process on improving teaching practice. Things that bring us joy this week: Buena Vista Social Club (https://www.broadway.com/shows/buena-vista-social-club/) F1 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16311594) Intro/Outro Music: Notice of Eviction by Legally Blind (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Legally_Blind)

This week, we wandered through a grab-bag of games, music, and reading before settling into a long-overdue cultural reckoning with This Is Spinal Tap. We talked Sonic games and cursed Sonic-sonas, gacha updates that somehow turn into cyberpunk motorbike fantasies, cheerful amnesia manga, extreme metal singles that absolutely rip, and a handful of games that ranged from surprisingly delightful to instantly forgettable. But the heart of the episode was finally sitting down with Spinal Tap itself—an enormously influential mockumentary that, forty years on, felt quieter, subtler, and stranger than its reputation. We landed somewhere between “mid” and “actually pretty good,” unpacking where it still works, where it shows its age, and why its legacy looms so much larger than the movie itself.  Episode NotesWhat We've Been IntoGamesEden dives into Sonic Forces, embracing the chaos of creating a cursed Sonic-sona (a dog with a grapple gun).A return to Wuthering Waves with the 3.0 update: underground cyberpunk cities, summonable motorcycles, and Sega crossover bike liveries.Peter spends real time with the Playdate handheld and unexpectedly loves Dig Dig Dino—dogs, dinosaurs, and eldritch horror.Mixed feelings on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: clunky combat, nonstop chatter, and controller prompts that can't decide what console they're on.Dispatch lands as enjoyable but oddly forgettable—pure popcorn gaming that evaporates once it's done.ReadingCheerful Amnesia delivers wholesome, funny yuri romance built on anime-logic memory loss.A shout-out to Adachi and Shimamura short stories, still reigning supreme.Peter continues through The Dark Forest, the second book in Remembrance of Earth's Past, digging into Wallfacers, Wallbreakers, and long-term cosmic dread.MusicNew doom EP from The Eternal—short, tight, and surprisingly restrained.Reliance by Soen: less adventurous, more consistent, and maybe better for it.Absolute hype for Archspire's new single “Limb of Leviticus”—blisteringly fast with just enough groove to breathe.Main Topic: This Is Spinal TapPrompted by renewed discussion of Rob Reiner and his legacy, we finally sat down with his directorial debut.Initial reaction: not nearly as laugh-out-loud funny as its reputation suggests.Over time, appreciation grew for:Its subtlety and deadpan delivery.The improvised dialogue paired with surprisingly tight plotting and long-payoff jokes.Iconic moments (“these go to eleven,” the cocoon stage prop, mysteriously exploding drummers).Nigel Tufnel emerges as the emotional and comedic core, hinting at the future of Christopher Guest's mockumentary career.We talked about how much of Spinal Tap's impact comes from being first—laying the groundwork for an entire genre that others would later perfect.Final verdict: historically essential, quietly funny, better on reflection than on first watch—and a reminder that movies used to trust audiences more.Big Picture TakeawaysCultural influence doesn't always match immediate enjoyment.Subtlety and restraint are skills we've mostly lost in modern filmmaking.Maybe we should make smaller, cheaper movies again—and let weird ideas breathe.

Hello to you listening in Jakarta, Indonesia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.As the old ones say, “If we are not grateful for what we have in this present moment, what makes us think we will be happy with more?”  Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't but long ago and far away there lived a man in a small country village. He had everything he had ever asked for: friends, livelihood, wife, family - and yet and yet something was stirring in him: Looking around he asked himself, Is this all there is? Perhaps I am meant for something more, something better. Perhaps I should go and seek my happiness outside the village.One summer morning he left his home, carefully closed the garden gate behind him and walked away. He walked for miles and miles until he could no longer see where he had been. Night fell and he found himself deep in a dark forest. Having no other shelter he took off his shoes, spread his coat on the ground, and fell asleep against the trunk of a tree for he was very tired.Watching him sleep his angel shook her head at the folly of his adventure. But what could she do? She could turn his shoes around facing them back in the direction from which he came. And so she did.When the man awoke he pulled on his coat, put his feet into his shoes and began to walk. After many miles of walking the man began to see familiar fields, a few farmhouses, a village - all looking very much like what he had left; but how could that be? People in the village market greeted him as if he was familiar to them; but how could that be? Arriving at a cottage with a garden gate he was startled to be greeted by children and a woman as if he were their long lost father and husband; but how could that be? They welcomed him inside, took off his shoes, sat him at a table very much like one he knew, fed him food that tasted like home; but how could that be?To this very day the man lives with that family in that home in that village and wonders, “If this isn't happiness, what is?”  As the old ones say, “If we are not grateful for what we have in this present moment, what makes us think we will be happy with more?”  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

The Night Dark Forest by Jasper by 826 Valencia

Here are three notable statements by Avi Loeb regarding the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS (also known as C/2023 A3). 1. It could be technological or engineeredLoeb proposes that 3I/ATLAS might not be a simple natural object, but one with artificial or engineered features. Example quotes:He writes that “this object could be technological, and possibly hostile as would be expected from the ‘Dark Forest' resolution to the Fermi Paradox.” He suggests that if it “generates its own light, then it could be much smaller than expected …” Loeb also suggests the trajectory may be “fine-tuned” or “optimized” for a visit through our Solar System rather than a random interstellar path. His position is one of possibility, not firm conclusion; he often emphasizes that the scenario is unlikely but worth considering because of its implications.2. It shows several “anomalies” compared to known comets or interstellar objectsLoeb has pointed out multiple features that he claims cannot be easily explained under typical comet/asteroid models. Some specific anomalies he highlights:Its trajectory is close to the ecliptic plane (i.e., aligns within ~5° of the planetary orbital plane) — this, he argues, makes a random entry statistically unlikely. It produced a “sunward jet” or anti-tail (i.e., an emission or structure pointing toward the Sun) which he says is atypical for known comets. It exhibits an “extreme negative polarization” signature (a polarization measurement of –2.77 % at a particular phase angle) which he says is significantly different from all known comets. He also notes compositional oddities: in his blog he mentions, for example, a large nickel:iron ratio and small water fraction in the outgassed material. In short: Loeb treats 3I/ATLAS as anomalous, and argues that such anomalies elevate interest in the artificial-origin hypothesis.3. While it may be artificial, we mustn't ignore the natural hypothesisEven though Loeb emphasizes the possibility of an artificial origin, he is careful to maintain that the most probable outcome still remains that 3I/ATLAS is a natural object. For example:In a blog post, he wrote: “As of now, 3I/ATLAS appears most likely to be a natural comet. But the remote possibility … must be considered seriously as a black-swan event with a small probability, because of its huge implications for humanity.” Similarly, in press coverage he is quoted: “By far, the most likely outcome will be that 3I/ATLAS is a completely natural interstellar object, probably a comet.” He therefore positions his artificial-origin hypothesis as speculative, but worth preparing for — especially given the stakes if such a hypothesis turned out to be true.30 Day Free Trial Of 4biddenknowledge.TV 30 Day Free Trial On 4biddenknowledge.TVSupport the show

The dark forest hypothesis is the conjecture that many alien civilizations exist throughout the universe, but they are both silent and hostile, maintaining their undetectability for fear of being destroyed by another hostile and undetected civilization. It is one of many possible explanations of the Fermi paradox, which contrasts the lack of contact with alien life with the potential for such contact. The hypothesis derives its name from Liu Cixin's 2008 novel The Dark Forest, although the concept predates the novel.Help us buy a camera:https://ko-fi.com/monsterfuzzSupport the pod:www.patreon.com/monsterfuzz Check out our merch:https://monster-fuzz.creator-spring.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

The darker the forest, the brighter the philosophy! Despite all odds, we press on against the horrors of both the fictional and our real universe to talk about what happens when you try to do sociology AT SCCCCCCAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEE! Besides parsing the end of the book, we parse the precepts of Dark forest and whether it holds water, what are plausible objections, and what does this tell us about the reality of conflicts at smaller scales.

A Florida school board member gets (virtually) body-slammed by Hulkamaniacs after celebrating Hulk Hogan's passing on social media—proving that even in death, the Hulkster still knows how to lay the smackdown. Meanwhile, Trump's economic winning streak continues as trade deals stack up faster than Jim Cramer's false predictions. But the real showstopper? A tenured Harvard professor claims a comet hurtling toward Earth is actually an alien probe that's been traveling for 800 million years just to get a peek at our solar system. Brad breaks down the astronomical stupidity of this theory while David contemplates whether this is exactly why federal funding to Harvard should be cut immediately. It's another episode where the hosts clear a “Dark Forest” of lies with the machete of truth—and remind you why you should never trust anyone just because they appear on a screen (or a podcast).

More Space Opera! We're back it with the Three Body Problem series, talking about the second book in the series. For part one, we're covering the nature of the wallfacer project and how to approach a threat that's 400 years away. Part two will be all about cosmic sociology and the dark forest theory!
