Star Trek: The Next Generation: "First Contact" We come in peace! Author Chris Farnell (Star Trek: Lower Decks Crew Handbook, Fermi's Progress) gets beamed up with us to talk about this perspective flip on the usual Star Trek formula -- a story that positions our Enterprise crew as mysterious space invaders to a planet that has never met aliens. We get into the flaws of the Federation's first contact procedures and how this story is just “a day at the office” for them, and how the episode quickly builds a familiar alien culture we can sympathize with. No, this isn't about the movie of the same name, but yes...it's that Bebe Neuwirth scene!Find all of Chris's great work at chrisfarnell.comA proud part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tip us on Ko-Fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gimmicks Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gimmickspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Disco Tears" by Raven⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons Attribution 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources: ⁠Chris's Den of Geek Article: “Why Has Sci-Fi TV Stopped Imagining Our Future?” Memory Alpha

In Italia si resta a casa dei genitori fino a trent'anni, come se la giovinezza fosse un contratto a tempo indeterminato. I numeri li mette in fila Lorenzo Ruffino: quattro anni sopra la media europea, peggio di noi solo Croazia, Slovacchia, Grecia e Spagna. Altrove si esce di casa a ventidue anni, qui si tira avanti, ostaggi di stipendi da fame e di un mercato del lavoro che ti fa il favore di assumerti. Tra i venticinque e i ventinove anni si guadagnano in media 1.200 euro netti al mese, tra i trenta e i trentaquattro si arriva a malapena a 1.390. La soglia dei 1.500 euro si supera solo dopo i quaranta, come se fosse un premio per la sopravvivenza. E intanto si vive con mamma e papà, perché trovare un affitto dignitoso con quei soldi significa scegliere tra il letto e il frigorifero. Ma la crudeltà vera sta nei numeri che non cambiano mai. Ruffino lo mostra: negli ultimi vent'anni la percentuale di giovani che vive con i genitori è rimasta la stessa. Fermi, inchiodati. Un intero paese che ripete la stessa storia, come una condanna. Ogni volta si tira fuori la cultura, il legame familiare, le radici. È solo un modo elegante per nascondere il fallimento economico. In Finlandia, in Svezia, in Germania non amano meno le famiglie: possono solo permettersi di viverne fuori. Qui si resta perché non si ha scelta. E si invecchia in camera propria, con le mensole di quando si era bambini. Il 63% delle persone tra i diciotto e i trentaquattro anni vive ancora a casa. Dio, patria e famiglia, dicono. Dio è una clava contro gli avversari, la patria è il circolino degli amici e la famiglia è il rifugio obbligato di uno Stato fallito. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

In 1966, Michigan came dangerously close to a nuclear catastrophe—just 30 miles from downtown Detroit. A failed cooling system at the Fermi 1 fast breeder reactor caused a partial meltdown, releasing radiation and sparking a cover-up that lasted years.Engineers blamed a loose piece of metal—described as “the size of a beer can”—for the failure.In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we uncover the chilling truth behind America's first commercial nuclear accident, how close we came to disaster, and why the public didn't learn the full story until nearly a decade later. If you've never heard about the Fermi 1 reactor or why one book called it We Almost Lost Detroit, this episode explains it all—fact by radioactive fact.Find out more about this incident at We Almost Lost Detroit: Michigan's Forgotten Nuclear Disaster at Fermi 1

La notte tra il 27 e il 28 marzo 1938, Ettore Majorana scompare misteriosamente durante una traversata navale. All'epoca ha solo 31 anni, ma è uno dei fisici più rispettati d'Italia: un genio paragonabile a Newton o a Galileo. O, almeno, così sostiene Enrico Fermi, premio Nobel per la fisica. Nessuno sa dire con certezza che fine abbia fatto Ettore Majorana. Molti, inclusi i suoi familiari e lo stesso Fermi, sono convinti che non si sia davvero tolto la vita. C'è persino un personaggio che negli ultimi anni ha pubblicato lettere e fotografie di Majorana successive alla sua scomparsa.

Send us a textAre we alone in the Universe.  Are aliens or extraterrestrial beings already here on earth, or are they watching us from afar with technologically advanced probes? It has been decades since the search for aliens began in earnest with SETI, the Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence.  So why haven't we made contact?  What is the Fermi paradox and the Drake Equation and what do they tell us about he existence of ET? Why does the former chairman of the board at SETI think extraterrestrial probes may be watching us?  We're going to explore these and other questions with John Gertz.John Gertz has  been involved in the field of SETI for more than 20 years, having served three terms as chairman of the board of the SETI Institute (www.seti.org), He is also the president of a new organization that successfully campaigned to raise $100 million for SETI research, and he currently the only layman on the Breakthrough Listen board that advises on the use of that $100 million fund.  His forthcoming book, Reinventing SETI, will be released in Spring 2025 by Oxford University Press.https:/natureandsciencepodcast.com

EPISODE 129 | The Fermi Paradox: Here Comes Nobody If we are not unique as a species, an intelligent one that builds civilizations, then there must be lots and lots of other civilizations out there in the galaxy and the rest of the universe beyond. But if so, where the hell is everybody? That's the question at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. And this has kicked off a chain of reasoning and speculation that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and lets us start to envision, not just what might be out there, but where we ourselves want to go as a global civilization.

Jürgen Schmidhuber, the father of generative AI, challenges current AI narratives, revealing that early deep learning work is in his opinion misattributed, where it actually originated in Ukraine and Japan. He discusses his early work on linear transformers and artificial curiosity which preceded modern developments, shares his expansive vision of AI colonising space, and explains his groundbreaking 1991 consciousness model. Schmidhuber dismisses fears of human-AI conflict, arguing that superintelligent AI scientists will be fascinated by their own origins and motivated to protect life rather than harm it, while being more interested in other superintelligent AI and in cosmic expansion than earthly matters. He offers unique insights into how humans and AI might coexist. This was the long-awaited second, unreleased part of our interview we filmed last time.

As thunder cracks overhead, she muses on salvation in an exhausted world and the busy lives of Gambel's Quail. In her recent novels, Lydia has worked to balance the intensely personal with our more communal aspirations: without gossip, she wonders, how do you avoid polemic and the maudlin? Emily praises Lydia's humor and asks us to consider how a joke—the earnest set-up followed by a sudden deflation—can reconcile our fears and hopes for the future, the daily here-and-now with the magnificent unknowability of the world.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 146*Supernova's Potential to End the Dark Matter SearchAstronomers are eagerly awaiting a nearby supernova that could finally solve the mystery of dark matter. A new study suggests that axions, hypothetical particles, could be discovered within seconds of a supernova's gamma-ray burst. The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope might detect these gamma rays, offering insights into the mass of QCD axions. However, the rarity of such supernovae and the telescope's limited field of view pose challenges. Researchers are considering launching a fleet of gamma-ray telescopes, named GALAX, to ensure comprehensive coverage.*Magnetic Tornadoes at Jupiter's PolesA recent study reveals that Jupiter's poles are home to magnetic tornadoes that generate Earth-sized concentrations of hydrocarbon haze. These phenomena, visible only in ultraviolet light, are linked to the planet's strong magnetic fields. The findings, based on Hubble Space Telescope images, shed light on the unique atmospheric dynamics of Jupiter, contrasting with Earth's auroral processes.*Arrival of the World's Biggest Digital Camera at NASANASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre has received the Wide Field Instrument, the largest digital camera ever built, for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. This advanced camera will offer an unprecedented panoramic view of the universe, aiding in the study of dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets. Scheduled for launch in 2027, Roman's capabilities will surpass those of current Space telescopes.The Science RobertA new study links prolonged sedentary behaviour with increased heart disease risk, even among active individuals. Research highlights the crucial ecological role of large sharks, threatened by overfishing and habitat loss. Palaeontologists use dinosaur faeces to trace the evolutionary rise of dinosaurs.

In a recent paper published in the International Journal of Astrobiology, a philosopher Dr. Vojin Rakić (voyin rack itch) reviews some 50 or so proposed solutions to Fermi's paradox, including, that human life is so exceptional that it happened only once in the universe, that perhaps other civilizations destroy themselves like we are trying to do, civilizations broadcast radio and TV signals only for a relatively brief period of time, alien intelligent life maybe incomprehensible to our species, and that maybe the energy requirements and distances in the Milky way are too great allow us to discover others of our kind and many more ideas. After sorting through all of these concepts, Dr. Rakić (rack itch) suggests that alien life might be unobservable to the senses evolution has given humans and/or perhaps alien beings live in part of the wider universe we don't know of or cannot yet detect and observe.

(The Rat In Longespee's Skull) *** Most people are superstitious to at least a tiny degree – avoiding walking under ladders, not opening umbrellas indoors, or having a tingle down the spine every Friday the 13th. Perhaps you have a favorite or “lucky” shirt to wear on special occasions – or a lucky pair of socks. Maybe you have to dress from left to right instead of the other way around. Superstitions may seem silly, but we seem to live with them everywhere – but your superstitions don't hold a candle to the ones believed by those in the theater. Thespians on and off the stage have some pretty bizarre concepts about what is lucky and unlucky. (Strange Superstitions of the Stage) *** Viking sagas describe the ritual execution of blood eagle, in which victims were kept alive while their backs were sliced open so that their ribs, lungs, and intestines could be pulled out into the shape of bloody wings. The torture method was so grisly that some historians believe it never truly happened. We can only hope historians are correct, because the thought of someone going through it alive is unbelievably terrifying. (The Blood Eagle Viking Torture) *** Physicist Enrico Fermi famously asked the question "Where are they?" to express his surprise over the absence of any signs for the existence of other intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. Although many potential resolutions to this so-called “Fermi paradox” have been suggested over the years, there is still no consensus on which one, if any, is correct.  We'll look at some of the theories as to where E.T. might be found. (Where Might E.T. Be Hiding?) *** Only once in the history of law enforcement and ufology has there been a case where a UFO incident turned into an actual criminal investigation. We'll look at the Dechmont Woods Encounter.

In 1950 Enrico Fermi sat down to have lunch with his friends and colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. While discussing UFOs, Enrico asked a simple question: if aliens exist, where are they? This conflict between the high likelihood of alien life and the lack of evidence of such confounds scientists to this day. Tune in as Carter guides us through the science and attempts to resolve the ‘Fermi paradox'. Conspiracy Theories is now on Instagram @theconspiracypod and TikTok @conspiracy.pod!
