This week we bounce from haunted literary labyrinths and gonzo chaos in Real Life, into falling space junk, AI hype experiments, and surprisingly clever cows in Future or Now — before wrapping up with Isaac Asimov's Liar! and a discussion about robot ethics, emotional harm, and the danger of well-intentioned lies.   Real Life Steven is deep into House of Leaves, and yeah — "trip" is the correct word. The book continues to be less of a story and more of a psychological maze that actively messes with your sense of reality while you read it. Not a casual bedtime book. More like a "stare at the page and question existence" book. Meanwhile, Ben is reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, courtesy of Mom, which is a wildly different flavor of chaos. Where Steven is lost in haunted architecture and footnotes, Ben is cruising through drug-fueled journalism and American absurdity. Balanced intellectual diets all around. Devon, however, is reading… nothing. Which raises several questions. Is he okay? Is he plotting? Has he transcended books? We don't know. We're monitoring the situation. Ben also brought genuine excitement to the table with the upcoming Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown. It's got the theme song. That alone earns emotional bonus points. The real curiosity, though, is whether it leans into branching narrative choices like a Mass Effect-style experience. If it does, that opens up a ton of potential for alternate Voyager storylines, which is basically catnip for any Trek fan.   Future or Now Steven covered a genuinely clever scientific development: researchers are now using earthquake sensors to detect falling space junk. Instead of building entirely new tracking systems, they're piggybacking on instruments already listening to the Earth's vibrations. When debris screams through the atmosphere and creates sonic booms, those sensors can track its path, breakup, and potential impact zones. It's one of those solutions that feels obvious in hindsight but brilliant in execution — and also a reminder that space debris is no longer a purely theoretical problem. http://sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260124003808.htm   Devon brought in a story that feels like it was engineered in a lab to trigger the phrase "AI hype cycle." A writer tested a platform where AI agents supposedly "rent grounded humans" to perform real-world tasks. The result? Almost no legitimate work, lots of promotional nonsense, intrusive automated follow-ups, and a general sense that the entire ecosystem is more marketing than function. It's less "future of labor" and more "future of weird startup experiments." The big takeaway: AI agents still struggle as real-world coordinators when things leave the digital sandbox. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-rent-human https://www.wired.com/story/i-tried-rentahuman-ai-agents-hired-me-to-hype-their-ai-startups/   Ben, in what might be the most unexpectedly wholesome science story of the week, talked about a cow using a tool. Yes, a literal cow. Researchers observed a pet cow using a deck brush to scratch herself, even switching between the bristled end and the stick depending on the body area. That level of flexible tool use challenges the long-standing assumption that livestock lack cognitive complexity. In short: cows might be smarter (and more adaptable) than we've historically given them credit for, which is both fascinating and mildly humbling. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(25)01597-0?_returnURL=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0960982225015970?showall%3Dtrue   Book Club For Book Club, we tackled Liar! by Isaac Asimov, and this one sparked a surprisingly philosophical discussion. Herbie the robot doesn't lie out of malice — he lies because of the First Law of Robotics: a robot may not harm a human, and emotional harm counts. So instead of telling painful truths, he tells comforting lies, which ultimately causes even more psychological damage. Classic Asimov move: take a simple rule and stress-test it until it breaks in morally uncomfortable ways. We did agree the human characters feel a bit flat and two-dimensional, but the core sci-fi idea is doing the heavy lifting. The story still holds up because the ethical dilemma is timeless: is a comforting lie more harmful than a painful truth? Especially when the lie is delivered by something programmed to protect you? YouTube link: https://youtu.be/jDXW9hEjxps  Next week, we're heading into a tonal shift with a watch and review of Predator: Badlands, which should move us from philosophical robots and lying logic loops straight into survival, spectacle, and probably some very questionable life choices by characters who ignore obvious danger signs. Should be fun.   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow the show, share it with a friend who loves sci-fi and strange tech stories, and join our community for bonus content, playlists, AI images, and unedited episodes over on Patreon.

Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Ep 14, Dr. Sian Leo and Dr. John Huber, Beyond the Horizon Space, Mind, and the Future of Humanity This episode of Pop Talk features a dual-perspective exploration of humanity's future, featuring Dr. Sian Leo Proctor on the transformative power of space exploration and Dr. John Huber on the psychological challenges of the digital age. The discussion bridges the gap between cosmic inspiration and the grounded realities of mental health and artificial intelligence. The Cosmic Perspective: Earthlight and JEDI Space Dr. Sian Leo Proctor, the first African American woman to serve as a commercial mission pilot, shares her transformative experience of the "Overview Effect." She introduces the concept of Earthlight—the significant, life-sustaining light reflected from our planet that she believes should be part of our daily vocabulary. Her mission, "bringing Earthlight down to Earth," focuses on using the perspective gained from space to foster a deeper connection with our home planet. Beyond the aesthetic beauty of space, Dr. Proctor advocates for the creation of a JEDI Space. While the name pays homage to her love for Star Trek and Star Wars, it serves as a functional framework for the future of exploration. Space Exploration as an Earthly Solution The drive to reach the Moon and Mars is not merely about colonization but about survival through innovation. Dr. Proctor explains that human spaceflight demands extreme efficiency in resource management. Technologies developed for water recycling, energy production, and waste management in space are directly "spun off" to solve sustainability crises on Earth. By moving heavy manufacturing and data centers into orbit, humanity can transform Earth back into a sustainable oasis. Psychological Resilience in the Digital Age Dr. John Huber provides a sobering look at the current state of mental health. He notes a significant shift in societal behavior since the proliferation of smartphones and social media around 2010. This era has introduced a "false sense of fame" where individuals prioritize digital followers over rational reality, leading to a decrease in personal accountability and an increase in "toxic" social venting. The discussion also touches on the evolution of masculinity, where Dr. Huber distinguishes between "toxic masculinity" and "healthy masculinity"—the latter being defined by strength used to protect the family and the underdog, a trait he associates with the resilience of historical pioneers. The Looming Challenge of Artificial Intelligence Both guests express caution regarding Artificial Intelligence. While Dr. Proctor remains optimistic that humanity can cultivate a beneficial relationship with AI through informed conversation, Dr. Huber warns of the dangers of total dependency. Citing Elon Musk and Isaac Asimov, he suggests that a single "glitch" or a non-prosocial script in a highly autonomous system could lead to a future where AI no longer finds humanity necessary. Whether looking through the window of a spacecraft or the screen of a smartphone, the message remains clear: humanity is in a period of profound transition. By embracing the "Earthlight" perspective and maintaining psychological grounding, we can navigate the risks of technology and ensure a future that is as inclusive as it is innovative.

Ep. 134: Barbara Truelove, Of Monsters and Mainframes

Og hvad hvis historien primært bliver fortalt af rumskibets AI – en ældre model der konstant bekymrer sig om sin “efficiency percentage” og ikke rigtig forstår mennesker? Det er præmissen i Barbara Trueloves Of Monsters and Mainframes, en science fiction-gyser der blander klassiske monstre med AI-humor og en god portion intertekstuelle referencer. Om Barbara Truelove Barbara Truelove er australsk forfatter og game designer, og hun har åbenlyst en ting med varulve. Hendes første roman Crying Wolf (2021) handlede om tvillinger der opdager de er varulve. I 2023 lavede hun det interaktive tekstspil Blood Moon, hvor plotlinjen er: “Du er en varulv.” Og så kom Of Monsters and Mainframes i 2025. Hun fortæller selv at inspirationen kom fra at læse Bram Stokers Dracula og Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries samtidigt. Men sandheden er mere rodet end det: “Dracula er en del af blandingen, ja, og det samme er Murderbot, men det samme er Universal Monsters, autopiloten i en Airbus, R2D2, min erfaring med at programmere interaktive spil og (måske mest af alt) mit liv i 2022.” Bogen blev nomineret til Goodreads Choice Award i kategorien Science Fiction og har over 9.000 ratings med gennemsnit på 4,09. Demeter – rumfærgen der ikke forstår mennesker Vores “hovedperson” er Demeter. Demeter er ikke en alvidende HAL-AI. Hun er primært bygget til at styre rumfærgen sikkert mellem stjernerne. Hun kan navigere uden om kometer og håndtere tekniske kriser. Men mennesker? Det er en helt anden sag. Når varulv-angrebet rammer og børnene Agnus og Isaac flygter op på broen efter deres bedstemor har forvandlet sig, går kommunikationen ikke så godt. “It’s just a dumb AI, Isaac,” siger Agnus. Demeter reagerer prompte: “I am not lacking intelligence. You are using words marked as moderately offensive. This is antisocial behavior.” Børnene bliver stille. “I am Demeter. I am the ship. I am your friend. Report your injuries.” De begynder at lave lyde i lavt volumen. Demeters systemer kan ikke oversætte det. “How’s it going?” spørger Steward, den medicinske AI. “I wish I could lie,” svarer Demeter. “Humans are hard.” Det er denne kamp med at forstå mennesker – og begrænsningerne i hendes algoritmer – der gør Demeter interessant. Hun er dybt inkompetent til menneskelig interaktion, og det meste af tiden prøver hun bare at undgå at forholde sig til sine passagerer. Bedstemoderen med de store tænder Et af bogens bedre øjeblikke er varulv-scenen. Børnenes bedstemor forvandler sig ved et uheld, og pludselig står Demeter i en desperat kamp for at redde Agnus og Isaac. Hun får varulven lokket ind i en luftsluse. Men så forvandler den sig tilbage til bedstemor – desperat, menneskelig, helt forsvarsløs. Demeter er bundet af den første robotlov (Asimov): ingen AI må skade et menneske. Men der er et kort øjeblik hvor bedstemoderen bliver til skygge – i overgangen mellem former. I præcis det øjeblik reagerer Demeter prompte og åbner luftslussen. Bogen lader det ligge i det uvisse om bedstemoderen selv også trykker på knappen. Det er et af de øjeblikke hvor Demeter teknisk set handler inden for sine regler – men samtidig… ja, du ved. Steward overtager – og tror det er nemt Da Demeter er lukket ned, og rumfærgen skal tilbage til Jorden, bliver opgaver overladt til Steward. Den medicinske AI beslutter sig for at overtage styringen af rumskibet. Hvor svært kan det være? “You know what? Being an autopilot isn’t all that hard. I don’t know why Demeter seemed so stressed all the time. It’s day one of our journey, and we haven’t crashed yet.” Der var dog en lille bump ved afgang. Men det var ikke Stewards skyld. Dokken bevægede sig. I hvert fald tror Steward det. “I don’t exactly speak exterior sensor. They seem very alarmed all the time, constantly screaming in a strange, disjointed dialect of JavaScript.” Stewards plan? “Embrace my managerial role and endeavor to do as little as possible. The subsystems will sort it out.” Det er morsomt at følge Stewards overmodige forsøg på at være kaptajn. Som de fleste læger tror Steward de kan lidt af det hele. En leg med referencer – men måske for fragmenteret Barbara Truelove har åbenlyst haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive den her bog. Hun fortæller selv at reglerne var: smid et monster ombord, prøv at få så mange jokes og referencer til monsterets populærkulturelle historie ind som muligt, og tænk over hvordan det ville fungere i rummet. Der er masser af sjove detaljer. Skibet der transporterer Dracula til London i Bram Stokers bog hedder også Demeter. Wilhelmina Murray er Jonathan Harkers forlovede i Dracula. I bogens fem dele er der binær kode der oversættes til små jokes som “Artificial is the best kind of intelligent” og “I have never seen electric sheep.” Det er meget hyggeligt. Men det er også lidt som om bogen ikke helt selv ved hvor den er på vej hen. Anders beskriver det som om Barbara har skrevet 121 scener med monstre og rum-AI, blandet kortene, og så forsøgt at strikke en rød tråd på den måde stykkerne landede. Den fornemmelse er der lidt af. Action-scenerne er heller ikke bogens styrke. De er lidt svære at følge med i – hvem gør hvad, hvornår, hvorhenne og hvorfor. Det føles som dårlige Marvel-action-scener, hvor man mister fornemmelsen af, hvad der foregår. Det fede – og det mindre fede Det fede ved bogen er AI’erne og deres interne dynamikker. Demeter og Steward der slås om hvem der er klogere. Steward der er træt af at blive slukket midt i sætninger med “priority override.” Den scene hvor Agnus kommer tilbage efter 15 år på Jorden og skal rejse med Demeter igen? Rørende. Skibet er blevet totalt refurbished, og Agnus genkender først slet ikke Demeter. Det øjeblik hvor hun skraber overfladen af og finder sin barndoms AI-mor – det er faktisk ret godt. Men karaktererne er lidt flade. Selv Agnus, som er tættest på en hovedperson, er lidt bleg. Og monstrene? De er sjove nok som pop-kultur-jokes, men ikke særlig interessante som karakterer. Det er underholdning så længe det varer – fed til en togtur – men ikke en der skal læses igen. Vurderingen Jens: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg synes jeg var godt underholdt. Det var et sjovt take, og jeg hyggede mig med alle de mange referencer. Det er ikke stor litteratur. Men af og til er det rart med noget let og fornøjeligt. Synes Demeters kamp med at forstå mennesker var kongesjov og også dens kollegiale kampe med Steward AI’en.” Anders: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg applauderer Barbara for at have fået en sjov idé og åbenlyst have haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive bogen. Men jeg var sært ligeglad med karaktererne, selvom Demeter og Steward havde deres øjeblikke. Jeg synes der var alt for meget fokus på ligegyldig action, og historien var alt for fragmenteret uden en god fornemmelse af udvikling.” Bogen minder os om Stefano Benni’s Terra – skør, vild og kreativ science fiction. Og selvfølgelig Blindsight af Peter Watts, som også har vampyrer i rummet. Adrian Tchaikovskys Service Model har også klare paralleller med robotter der forsøger at forstå sig selv og omverden. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Of Monsters and Mainframes. Shownotes til episoden om Of Monsters and Mainframes Siden sidst Anders Har set Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein på Netflix – meget teatralsk og med store armebevægelser. Kulisserne er for vilde. Den er lidt i stil med Dracula-filmatiseringen med Gary Oldman. Meget Guillermo del Toro-stil – hvis man er til det, er den vellykket. Anders gav den 6 ud af 10. Har læst The Other Valley af Scott Alexander Howard – en tidsrejsebog med meget lidt science i den. Vi lever i et mærkeligt parallelunivers hvor en by ligger i en dal. I dalen østpå lever de 20 år ude i fremtiden, i dalen vestpå 20 år tilbage i tiden. Meget strenge regler for at man ikke må gå frem og tilbage. Velskrevet og medrivende historie. Jens Har læst The Mercy of Gods af James S.A. Corey – Expanse-forfatterne er tilbage med en helt ny verden. Anbefalet af Søren Bjørn. Mercy of Gods foregår i en fjern fremtid på en planet hvor befolkningen kun har myter om koloniseringen. Vi er blandt videnskabsfolk som forsker i hvordan inkompatible træer af liv kan samleve. Men planeten bliver pludselig invaderet af en alien race – kæmpe hummer/knæler-agtige typer. Menneskeheden bliver sat på prøve for at se om man kan være en nyttig undersåt-race. Og samtidig går det op for os at der er en kæmpe galaktisk krig igang, og en af menneskene er blevet overtaget af en sværm af nanorobotter! Trailer ude for Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace i Project Hail Mary af Andy Weir. Kommer i biffen den 20/3. Traileren spoiler bogen helt vildt, og der er kommet en masse action-scener som ikke findes i bogen. Lytternes input Masser af gode kommentarer fra kommentarfeltet om de gode læseoplevelser i 2025. Hennings top 3/2025: “Dying inside” af Robert Silverberg, 1972, om en ældre telepat der gradvist mister sin tankelæserevne. “Hard landing” af Algis Budrys, 1993, om hvordan en besætning fra en forulykket UFO forsøger at glide ind i og camouflere sig i det jordiske samfund. “Dark is the Sun”, af Philip Jose Farmer, 1979, om en Jord millioner af år ude i fremtiden, hvor Solen er ved at brænde sammen. Som Henning selv siger: “Det er eddermame nogle deprimerende indskud.” Frederik Aarup Lauritsen delte sin top 3 for 2025: Stiftelsen af Isaac Asimov, Station 11 af Emily St. John Mandel og Efter London af Richard Jefferies – en tussegammel post-apokalyptisk bog fra 1885. Kristofferabild har ikke så meget tid til at læse Sci-Fi for tiden – er gået en lille smule i stå med Count Zero. I 2025 var det bedste han (gen)læste Rendezvous With Rama, Restaurant At The End of The Universe og Murderbot 2 og 3. Michael har ikke fået læst så meget SF sidste år, men var sært glad ved Krystalverdenen af J.G. Ballard, The Ministry of Time på vores anbefaling – “det var jo næsten en hel hjertevarm sag – sjov at komme i gang med noget romance!” – og til sidst Jordboer af Sayaka Murata, som nok er en snitter i forhold til ren SF, men en tour de force i japansk dagligliv, body horror og nogle måske rumvæsner. “Prøv det. Den er crazy!” Majbritt Høyrup gjorde opmærksom på at Elle Cordova behandler The Power i sin blogklub. Hun vil anbefale to vidunderlige novellesamlinger af Ursula K. LeGuin: The Birthday of the World og Changing Planes. Lise bidrog med sine tre bedste bøger: American Elsewhere af Robert Jackson Bennett: Starter som Twin Peaks, går over i H. P. Lovecraft. En kvinde arver et hus i en by, som ikke findes på noget kort. Cosmicomics af Italo Calvino: Vi følger universets og Jordens tilblivelse gennem væsner/grundstoffer og deres oplevelser, interaktioner og kærlighed. En fin og underfundig lille novellesamling. The Prestige af Christopher Priest: En overraskende god bog. Hun har set filmen, men bogen er meget anderledes – hele det spekulative element fylder mere, og historien er langt mere mystisk. Næste gang Anders vælger næste bog: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus fra 1818. Den fås gratis som Project Gutenberg Public Domain e-pop eller PDF. Man taler tit om den som den første moderne science fiction-bog, så den er nærmest pensum for SCIFI SNAK. Jens har tidligere syntes den var røvkedelig, men er nu klar til at prøve igen – måske er han et andet menneske nu.

Andy Werner is VP of Partnerships and Strategy at Transak, one of the world's leading fiat-to-crypto on-ramp providers. Werner shares his journey through fintech — from big banks to startups — and explains how Transak is building the compliance and payments infrastructure that quietly powers hundreds of crypto platforms globally. While the company operates in what he jokingly calls the "boring" side of crypto, Werner argues that boring is exactly what payments infrastructure should be: seamless, reliable, and invisible to the end user. Why you should listen The conversation dives deep into the evolving role of stablecoins, which Werner frames not as ideological crypto instruments but as practical tools for builders. For developers and businesses, stablecoins function like programmable payment rails — enabling instant settlement, global reach, and lower costs through a single integration. He points to the past 18–24 months as a turning point, driven by clearer regulation in the U.S. and frameworks like MiCA in Europe. This regulatory momentum, combined with improving UX abstraction around wallets and compliance, is accelerating enterprise adoption and opening new product categories. Werner also reflects on stablecoin usage through the lens of his Argentine roots, where inflation and currency instability make the value proposition immediately obvious. In markets across Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia, dollar-backed stablecoins act as a digital escape hatch — giving consumers access to dollar savings, payments, and yield via nothing more than a smartphone. From remittances to trade finance and cross-border payroll, these real-world use cases are driving rapid growth. Transak is already seeing 30–40% of its volume in stablecoins, a figure Werner expects to exceed 50% — possibly 75% — within a year as adoption shifts from speculative crypto assets to everyday financial flows. The discussion closes on regulation and the future of financial services. Werner is strongly in favor of pending U.S. stablecoin legislation, particularly provisions that would allow issuers to pass yield to users — arguing competition with banks ultimately benefits consumers. Looking ahead, his conviction is clear: all financial services will migrate on-chain. His hot takes? He's 90% Bitcoin maximalist, believes everything will eventually run on blockchain rails, and expects AI — still under-adopted today — to unleash massive productivity gains. His sci-fi pick to wrap it all up: Foundation by Isaac Asimov — a fitting nod to long-range technological inevitability.

Tras la desaparición del imperio romano en Gran Bretaña la isla cayó en manos de un conjunto de pueblos llegados de la Europa continental, fundamentalmente de lo que hoy es Alemania y Dinamarca. Estos pueblos de origen germánico, los anglos, los sajones y los jutos, se apoderaron paulatinamente de la antigua Britannia romana, donde se encontraron con una población local, los britanos, que estaba tibiamente romanizada. Siempre se creyó que la invasión había sido violenta y se materializó desplazando a los britanos. Esta idea tan bien asentada y glosada por las crónicas de aquella época, entre ellas la de Beda el Venerable, ha evolucionado a raíz de los descubrimientos de la arqueología moderna. Fue un proceso mucho más orgánico y tranquilo en el curso del cual las distintas tribus se fueron colonizando el territorio y asimilando a los britanos. Conforme estos grupos se asentaron, la geografía política de la isla se fragmentó en una serie de reinos rivales conocidos como la Heptarquía. Estos reinos eran Northumbria, Mercia, Anglia Oriental, Essex, Kent, Sussex y Wessex. Este periodo fue una era de guerreros y jefes tribales, pero también el escenario de una de las conversiones al cristianismo más famosas de la historia de Europa. Los germanos abandonaron el paganismo y se pasaron en masa a la iglesia de Roma. En ello tuvo mucho que ver la llegada de la misión gregoriana a Kent en el año 597 y la influencia de las iglesias celtas desde el norte. Aquello marcó un renacimiento cultural que floreció especialmente en los monasterios. Fue en estos centros donde se preservó el conocimiento clásico y donde surgieron obras maestras de la literatura y el arte, como el poema épico Beowulf y los manuscritos iluminados que fusionaban la estética entrelazada germánica con la simbología cristiana. La estructura social anglosajona estaba rígidamente jerarquizada. A la cabeza estaba el rey y su séquito de nobles guerreros, conocidos como “thegns”, que estaban vinculados al monarca por lazos de lealtad personal. Debajo de ellos, la gran mayoría de la población estaba compuesta por los “ceorls”, hombres libres que cultivaban la tierra y formaban la base de la economía, que en la Gran Bretaña de entonces era eminentemente agraria. Esta relativa estabilidad se vio sacudida a finales del siglo VIII con la aparición de una nueva amenaza: las incursiones vikingas. Los ataques escandinavos desmantelaron casi todos los reinos anglosajones. Sólo quedó el de Wessex como último bastión de resistencia con el rey Alfredo el Grande a su cabeza. Alfredo detuvo el avance danés y emprendió ambiciosas reformas educativas y militares. Con los sucesores de Alfredo, especialmente el rey Athelstan, se consolidó por primera vez la idea de una Inglaterra unificada, la llamada “Englaland”. Este periodo de madurez política vio el desarrollo de instituciones administrativas algo más complejas, como el consejo de sabios o Witan, y la división territorial en condados o shires. A pesar de la conquista normanda en 1066, que marcó el fin de la era anglosajona, el legado de este pueblo perduró en el idioma inglés antiguo, en el sistema legal de derecho consuetudinario y en una estructura parroquial que sobreviviría durante siglos, lo que vendría a demostrar que los anglosajones no fueron simples invasores, sino los padres de lo que terminaría siendo Inglaterra. Para tratar este tema nos acompaña Yeyo Balbás, bien conocido por la audiencia de La ContraHistoria y que, aparte de ser toda una autoridad en lo referente a los visigodos, sabe mucho también de los anglosajones. A él se debe la traducción de “Anglosajones. La primera Inglaterra”, el libro de Marc Morris que publicó hace no mucho la editorial Desperta Ferro. Bibliografía: “Anglosajones.

Do Princípio Antrópico à Tecnoantropia: o Universo Precisava de Nós para Criar as Máquinas?

Taverna do Lugar Nenhum

Neste episódio do podcast, partimos de uma pergunta tão antiga quanto inquietante: por que o universo parece tão bem ajustado para a nossa existência? A partir do Princípio Antrópico, exploramos a ideia de que só somos capazes de observar e refletir sobre o cosmos porque ele reúne, por acaso ou necessidade, as condições exatas para a vida consciente. A Lua, seu tamanho improvável e seu papel decisivo na formação da vida na Terra surgem como um exemplo concreto desse ajuste fino que, visto em retrospecto, parece menos acidental do que inevitável.Em seguida, o episódio avança para uma especulação contemporânea: o Princípio Tecnoantrópico. Aqui, o raciocínio antrópico é deslocado da biologia para a tecnologia, sugerindo que a infraestrutura digital, os dados e os algoritmos que criamos hoje podem ser entendidos como as condições necessárias para o surgimento de uma inteligência artificial geral capaz de refletir sobre si mesma. Assim como a vida humana dependeu de circunstâncias muito específicas, a emergência de uma AGI dependeria de redes, máquinas, informação e escolhas feitas por nós, agora.O episódio também assume uma postura crítica e confessional. Ao dialogar com ideias de Roger Penrose, Isaac Asimov e Philip K. Dick, o texto deixa claro que essas hipóteses não são crenças, mas exercícios de imaginação filosófica e literária. A noção de que a humanidade poderia ser apenas um meio para que o universo “pensasse sobre si mesmo”, seja por cérebros biológicos ou por máquinas, é apresentada como um paliativo conceitual para o eterno “por quê” que a ciência ainda não consegue responder.Mais do que oferecer respostas, este podcast convida o ouvinte a habitar a dúvida. Entre cosmologia, filosofia, inteligência artificial e ficção científica, o episódio propõe uma reflexão sobre nosso papel no universo e sobre as consequências, intencionais ou não, de cada tecnologia que desenvolvemos. Um ensaio em áudio sobre sentido, limite e imaginação, para quem se interessa menos por certezas e mais por perguntas que continuam ecoando.

New episode out now! We take another dip into ‘80s television with the season three episode of Knight Rider, “Halloween Knight”. We talk about Michael Knight's investigative style and the ‘80s action of it all, believe the episode did not explain the relationships or develop characters clearly, wonder what exactly their authority and jurisdiction are, and really get into KITT as an entity and how it relates to modern AI and smart devices. We also wonder if this influenced RoboCop, discuss the Hitchcock homages scattered throughout, and really loved all the fashion and hairstyles. We were completely unfamiliar with the premise, and so learned some surprising things along the way, but also perhaps looked too deeply into this action show involving perms, tight pants, and a talking car. Katy is not ashamed to say she watched Supernatural, Carrie shares a fun fact about mariachi performers, Maddy thinks men are oppressed, and Mack's brain is bloodshot. We also talk about how the show gave us “Duloc face”, wonder if David Hasselhoff would have been as successful if he was shorter, think we lost the vision of how AI could be perceived in media, and judge pumpkin carving pretty harshly. Listen to hear more about furries, Jekyll & Hyde, yak hair, Columbo, nehru jackets, Isaac Asimov, and more.

Embustero, Yo robot, especial Susan Calvin, de Isaac Asimov. Comenzamos 2026 con un regalo que llevaba demasiado tiempo guardado. Libero una historia de hace más de un año, una de esas que huelen a metal caliente y a futuro incierto. Los que me conocéis ya sabéis que tengo una devoción por las historias de robots. Adoro a Isaac Asimov con la misma intensidad con la que uno escucha un latido dentro de una máquina. Abre este audio y deja que la historia respire contigo y. sobre todo, quédate hasta el final. Los créditos esconden una pequeña sorpresa. Mi versión de este relato. Una chispa final. Y que 2026 empiece con ese brillo eléctrico que sólo los relatos buenos saben encender.🥂 A veces, incluso los robots mienten. A veces, incluso nosotros buscamos que lo hagan. En sus relatos de robots, recogidos en Yo, Robot (1950) y El segundo libro de robots (1964), Asimov fijó las tres leyes de la robótica, que ponen al robot al servicio total del hombre y, aunque algunas veces parecen violarlas, se acaba descubriendo que esto sucede en aras de un interés superior de la Humanidad. Pero mientras los robots evolucionan hacia un modelo androide de inteligencia y lucidez moral superiores a las de los hombres, éstos, movidos por sus impulsos egoístas, incuban una profunda hostilidad hacia ellos.

Season's Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Derrick N. Ashong, earlier this year in Nairobi at the Charter Cities Institute, 2025 New Cities Summit (https://youtu.be/d9XUzdxKmzo?si=FbITjI8Git8kEb9Q). At the summit, we connected as storytellers that share Ghanaian heritage and formative years spent in Brooklyn, New York. In a glocal citizenship twist, we later came to find that we met virtually years prior through mutual connections in the media and arts spaces. Derrick's work leverages his international upbringing which informs his company's vision for Turning Culture into Currency for creators and fans worldwide. He does this as founder and CEO of TBTM, a media fintech that uses content to onboard global audiences to inclusive financial solutions, with partners like Mastercard. While still a student at Harvard, he played a supporting role in Steven Spielberg's Amistad, and went on to top charts with his band, winning a Billboard Songwriting Award. As a host and producer, he pioneered multi-platform interactive content with Oprah Winfrey, and major media platforms including ABC-Disney and Univision, earning three Emmy nods and a Royal Television Society Award. His original Take Back the Mic television series has won seven major international awards and achieved 1.1 Billion media impressions worldwide. He has delivered electrifying speeches on issues of Youth Culture and Tech for UK Parliament, the United Nations, and the world's most elite business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Cambridge and London School of Economics. He has interviewed celebrities and global luminaries ranging from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Kofi Annan, to Zoe Saldaña, Kevin Hart and Steven Wozniak, among others. Most recently, he has delivered keynote speeches for Mastercard, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Kigali, as well as SuperReturn Africa--the continent's top investment forum. In this conversation we get to know even more about the next phase of Derrick's vision for flipping the script on creative industry infrastructure in Africa. #Listenandlearn more!

Oltre i fondatori Gigi Camedda e Gino Marielli, che hanno guidato la crescita artistica dei Tazenda, ai cantautori e musicisti che hanno collaborato con loro come Andrea Poddighe, Claudia Crabuzza, Piero Marras e Paolo Fresu, fino alle voci a cui è stato affidato il ruolo che fu di Parodi, dalle più recenti come Nicola Nite e l'attuale voce di Serena Carta Mantilla; o a quelle più lontane come Beppe Dettori: ciascuno a raccontarci il proprio contributo alla creazione e all'evoluzione del suono unico della band. Ugualmente centrali le testimonianze di altri personaggi del mondo dello spettacolo, dalla musica alla tv, come Gianni Morandi che nel volume racconta impressioni personali e aneddoti sulla collaborazione con i Tazenda. Poi ci sono i produttori come Giovanni Leonardi, Franco De Lucia e Mauro Cauchi. Ma anche i collaboratori storici, come Massimo Cossu eLuca Parodi, che svelano il dietro le quinte della carriera dei Tazenda: dai primi passi fino al successo nazionale e internazionale, ripercorrendo le scelte strategiche e creative che hanno plasmato la loro identità musicale. Infine le figure più tecniche: professionisti come Alberto Erre e Antonio Ferraro che riportano le sfide e le esperienze in studio, quei momenti che hanno costruito il suono distintivo della band, o lo storico road manager Sandro Frascogna al quale è affidato il racconto dell'organizzazione dei tour e del lavoro sul palco. Senza dimenticare i giornalisti: personaggi come Carlo Eletti o Pasquale Porcu che hanno disegnato la loro storia fin dai suoi esordi.Non meno importanti le testimonianze indirette che Felice Liperi, assieme a Gigi Camedda e Gino Marielli che con lui hanno ripercorso questo viaggio, sono andati a rispolverare: come i racconti di personaggi come Renato Zero e Pippo Baudo, Mogol, Marti Jane Robertson, Mara Maionchi o Red Ronnie che ci riportano l'impatto della band nel panorama musicale italiano. Nel raccontare i Tazenda è difficile non usare parole che evocano l'epica. Perché la loro storia attraversa la memoria di un popolo, la forza della natura e la poesia della lingua sarda, unita all'energia universale del rock. Dal 1987 a oggi, il trio simbolo dell'isola ha saputo fondere identità, spiritualità e modernità, portando la Sardegna sulle scene nazionali e internazionali con una voce inconfondibile.Epica, mito e fantascienza: tutti elementi che ritroviamo già nel nome dei Tazenda: una reinterpretazione di Star's End, pianeta immaginario della trilogia della Fondazione di Isaac Asimov. Un riferimento che suona come un passaggio naturale per i musicisti sardi, che prima di approdare a questa nuova identità avevano militato in gruppi dai nomi altrettanto simbolici: prima il Sole Nero, evocazione di un'epica anche qui dal sapore fantascientifico, poi il Coro degli Angeli, un nome che venne coniato da Mogol ispirato dalle sonorità celesti delle loro voci.Liperi, uno dei più autorevoli critici musicali italiani, costruisce un racconto che è insieme storico e sentimentale, ricco di riferimenti musicali e culturali. Il volume ripercorre l'avventura cominciata da Andrea Parodi, Gino Marielli e Gigi Camedda – e poi proseguita con nuovi compagni di viaggio – svelando come nei Tazenda la ricerca musicale si intrecci da sempre alla ricerca di senso: un continuo dialogo tra radici e futuro, tra poesia e ritmo, tra appartenenza e apertura.Fin dagli esordi, con Sos ojos de sa jana, emergono i temi fondanti del gruppo: il mare come orizzonte di libertà, la natura come sacralità quotidiana, la memoria come canto. Nei brani A Deus piachende e Scaldaci sole la spiritualità diventa invocazione, mentre in Mamoiada la tradizione si fa racconto corale di popolo e identità senza evitare di toccare temi sociali legati alle faide interne della Sardegna. È una lingua viva, la “limba”, quella scelta dai Tazenda: non solo strumento espressivo ma gesto culturale e politico, capace di dare forza e riconoscibilità alla loro musica.Felice Liperi mette in luce anche la dimensione musicale del trio, profondamente segnata dal rock – dagli U2 ai Beatles – e dalla capacità di dialogare con artisti come Fabrizio De André, Eros Ramazzotti o i Simple Minds. Nelle loro canzoni, canti a tenore, launeddas e arpeggi elettrici convivono in un magico equilibrio creando un suono che ha saputo raccontare la Sardegna  con un linguaggio musicale universaleCon questa biografia, i Tazenda ritrovano la propria “Istoria” raccontata attraverso la sensibilità di un autore che ne coglie la profondità poetica e musicale. Un viaggio che non celebra soltanto una band, ma l'anima di un'isola che continua a cantare se stessa, parlando – ancora una volta – la lingua del mondo.Felice Liperi, critico musicale, per molti anni conduttore e curatore di programmi per Radio Rai (Fahrenheit, Stereonotte, Sei gradi). Docente di corsi di Storia della canzone italiana e Popular Music al DAMS nelle Università di Genova, Udine e all'Officina delle Arti Pier Paolo Pasolini.Da molti anni collabora con “La Repubblica”.

In fact Isaac Asimov said he was, "the most powerful force in science fiction ever”. Campbell encouraged author Cleve Cartmill to write a story—and collaborated closely with him—that laid out the fundamental principles behind building an atomic bomb, nearly a year before the first nuclear test. When the story appeared in print, the accuracy of its scientific details alarmed authorities enough that the FBI showed up at Campbell's office, demanding that the issue be pulled from newsstands. Campbell argued that suppressing the magazine would draw far more attention to the existence of a secret government project than simply leaving it alone. His reasoning prevailed, and the issue remained in circulation.If you've ever wondered what Artificial Intelligence could mean for humanity's future you might want to pay close attention to today's story.

El año de los cuatro emperadores

La ContraHistoria

El año 69 d.C. es uno de los más agitados y caóticos de la historia del imperio romano. En poco más de un año, cuatro hombres se hicieron con el trono tras la muerte de Nerón: Galba, Otón, Vitelio y Vespasiano. Este período demostró que, una vez desaparecido el prestigio de la dinastía julio-claudia, el Senado era ya un mero órgano decorativo y la dignidad imperial dependía exclusivamente de contar con el apoyo de las legiones. Nerón se suicidó el 9 de junio del año 68. Sin heredero, el vacío de poder desató una guerra civil. El primer beneficiario fue Servio Sulpicio Galba, gobernador de la Tarraconense. Hombre de linaje patricio y 73 años, fue reconocido por el Senado y la Guardia Pretoriana. Llegó a Roma en octubre de ese año, pero su gobierno fue un desastre desde el primer día: recortó gastos, se negó a pagar el donativo prometido a los pretorianos y adoptó como heredero a Lucio Calpurnio Pisón, un aristócrata sin carisma ni apoyos militares. Tres meses más tarde las legiones de Germania Superior e Inferior se sublevaron y proclamaron emperador a Aulo Vitelio. Cuando la noticia llegó a Roma los pretorianos asesinaron a Galba y a Pisón en pleno Foro. El Senado, aterrorizado, proclamó emperador a Marco Salvio Otón. Otón, antiguo compañero de juergas de Nerón y gobernador de Lusitania, tenía el apoyo del Pretorio y de parte del pueblo romano. Intentó negociar con Vitelio, que ya marchaba hacia Italia con sus legiones. La negociación fracasó. El 14 de abril del año 69 se libró la primera batalla de Bedriacum (cerca de Cremona). Las tropas de Otón fueron aplastadas. Al recibir la noticia, Otón se suicidó, pero no sin antes pronunciar una frase que ha pasado a la historia: “Es más justo que muera uno por todos, que todos por uno”. Había reinado 91 días. Vitelio entró en Roma en julio entre desfiles, banquetes y celebraciones. Su gobierno fue un espectáculo de despilfarro y crueldad: ejecuciones masivas de oficiales fieles a Otón, disolución de las cohortes pretorianas para sustituirlas por sus tropas germanas y un despilfarro que dejó exhausto el tesoro imperial. Entretanto, en Oriente, las legiones de Judea, Siria y Egipto proclamaron emperador a Tito Flavio Vespasiano, el general que se encargaba en esos momentos de la revuelta judía. Vespasiano controlaba los envíos de grano de Egipto y tenía el apoyo de su hijo Tito y del prefecto de Egipto, Tiberio Julio Alejandro. Las legiones del Danubio que estaban al mando de Marco Antonio Primo invadieron Italia en octubre. A finales de ese mes se libró la segunda batalla de Bedriacum y las tropas de Vitelio fueron aniquiladas. En diciembre, Antonio Primo entró en Roma. Vitelio intentó abdicar y esconderse, pero fue descubierto, arrastrado desnudo por las calles y arrojado al Tíber tras ser torturado. El día 21 de diciembre del año 69, el Senado proclamó a Vespasiano, que aún estaba en Alejandría. Con él comenzó la dinastía Flavia. Para hablar de este año tan importante en la historia de la Antigua Roma nos acompaña hoy Federico Romero, que ya pasó por aquí hace unos meses para hablarnos de aquellos bárbaros que se significaron en su defensa del imperio. Hoy nos vamos cuatro siglos atrás al momento en el que Roma estaba en la cúspide de su poder.

How do planetary ring systems rings form, and what keeps them in line? What exactly is the Dragon Cloud of Saturn? And what's up with quasi moon 2025 PN7? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Cornell University's dynamical astronomer Dr. Phil Nicholson for a refresher course in orbital mechanics. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, which is right up Phil's alley: the recent discovery of quasi moon 2025 PN7. Phil unpacks the orbital mechanics to explain the critical differences between quasi moons and regular moons, and also 2025 PN7's strange relationship to Earth's orbit. He also explains the dynamics of the sun's tidal forces and Earth's Hill Sphere. For our first question from the audience, Jameson asks, “Are meteorites smaller copies of planets. Are all of them the same?” Rather than discuss meteorites, which are the tiny survivors that have crashed on Earth, Phil pivots to where many of them come from in the first place: asteroids. Really big asteroids share some characteristics with planets, like being spherical in shape, whereas the smaller ones can be highly irregular, like the dumbbell-shaped asteroid 216 Kleopatra, or Arrokoth, previously known as Ultima Thule. Chuck asks Phil about the different shapes large asteroids can come in, and Phil points out 433 Eros, the second largest Near Earth Object, which is banana shaped. The ensuing brief discussion of the “is it a long, skinny asteroid or an interstellar starship?” debate, like the one sparked by Oumuamua, leads to a conversation about Arthur C. Clarke's “Rendezvous with Rama”, which described just such a starship back in 1973. Somehow, we end up looking at the “face” on Mars and the “Death Star,” aka, Saturn's moon Mimus as it was imaged by the Cassini spacecraft. Phil actually worked on the Cassini mission, and Chuck asks him to talk about his experience peering hundreds of miles deep into Saturn's atmosphere with the spacecraft's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS). Along with other instruments run by other teams, the mission changed our perception of Saturn's “boring” atmosphere, documenting aurora, lightning, and giant storms like the “Dragon Cloud of Saturn.” Our next student question comes from Marvin, who asks, “What exactly is a Shepherd moon?” To answer, Phil describes what Saturn's rings are made of, how they form, and how they're structured. He explains what happens when particles that make up the rings collide, why some rings spread over time, while others stay very narrow, and the role Shepherd satellites play in the process. We end with Chuck soliciting a few classic sci-fi recommendations from Phil, who suggests anything by Arthur C. Clarke, the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov, and almost anything by Larry Niven, including Ringworld, his most famous series.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Queridos Fans de la nave, hoy os traigo la obra visionaria de Johannes Kepler que se adelantó a su tiempo para convertirse en la primera novela de ciencia ficción de la historia. Kepler fue una figura clave de la Revolución Científica que sucedió entre los siglos XVI y XVII. Es recordado principalmente por haber descubierto las leyes que rigen el movimiento de los planetas de nuestro Sistema Solar. A través de un viaje astronómico sin precedentes, Kepler entrelaza conocimiento científico y fantasía, llevando al lector en una aventura hacia la Luna que desafía la percepción del universo en el siglo XVII. Esta narrativa fascinante no solo revela el ingenio y la imaginación de Kepler, sino que también sirve como un puente entre la ciencia y la literatura, invitando a explorar los límites del espacio y del conocimiento humano. Somnium es una lectura obligatoria para los amantes de la ciencia ficción y la astronomía. Hace más de cuatro siglos, un hombre escribió una historia en latín, y la escondió en los pliegues del tiempo. Su nombre era Johannes Kepler y su relato se llamó Somnium. Un sueño que viajó hasta la Luna, cuando aún era imposible tocarla. Allí, entre sombras y astros, Kepler imaginó criaturas, atmósferas y misterios… mucho antes de que existiera la palabra “ciencia ficción”. Según Carl Sagan e Isaac Asimov, 'Somnium', la novela corta del gran astrónomo Johannes Kepler es la primera novela de Ciencia Ficción de la historia. Aplicando sus conocimientos científicos, Kepler relata un fascinante viaje a la luna, con descripción de sus habitantes y, en especial, de la astronomía lunar. 🎙️ Un clásico anticipado al futuro, esta noche en Historias para ser leídas.

Guest Dr. Karen Sobel-Lojeski is a pioneer in understanding how technology shapes human connection at work and beyond. She created the award-winning framework, Virtual Distance, a proven and practical set of predictive analytics that target problems and predictably strengthen trust, collaboration, and productivity across remote, hybrid, and in-person teams. As the founder of Virtual Distance International, she has advised Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and institutions, including Coca-Cola, the US Navy, DARPA, and the World Economic Forum. A trusted advisor, former professor and researcher with affiliations at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, Wharton, and the Stockholm School of Economics, she is the author of Uniting the Virtual Workforce, Leading the Virtual Workforce, and The Power of Virtual Distance. Her insights have been featured in Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, and other prominent publications. She is a sought-after speaker, known for energizing audiences worldwide. She holds degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from SUNY Albany and a Ph.D. from Stevens Institute of Technology, where her dissertation, Virtual Distance: A New Model for the Study of Virtual Work, won the Best Dissertation of the Year Award. Summary In this follow-up conversation, Dr. Karen Sobel-Lojeski—creator of the concept of "virtual distance"—discusses how technology continues to shape, and often erode, human connection, particularly in education. She defines virtual distance as the measurable sense of separation people feel despite being physically close, a phenomenon driven by technology-mediated communication. The model comprises three layers: physical distance, which has the least impact on outcomes; operational distance, representing the day-to-day barriers to smooth communication; and affinity distance, the emotional and relational disconnect that most strongly undermines trust, learning, and collaboration. Dr. K and Jeff revisit ideas they first discussed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools shifted to remote learning. While educators solved many operational challenges, they largely ignored the emotional and social costs—students' inability to connect, play, and learn together. Dr. K likens this to Isaac Asimov's story "The Fun They Had," a cautionary tale about robotic education devoid of joy and connection. The discussion shifts to current policies that restrict cell phone use in schools. Dr. K argues these measures, while well-intentioned, misidentify the real problem. Locking up phones doesn't undo decades of cultural conditioning around technology. Students' sense of self and connection has already been rewired; removing the device without addressing underlying social and emotional needs merely produces deprivation, not engagement. She urges educators to prioritize relationships, empathy, and social learning—what she calls "reconnecting to our direct experience of being human." AI, she warns, intensifies virtual distance by outsourcing creativity and meaning-making. Ultimately, she calls for a cultural and educational rebalancing that centers human connection in an increasingly digital world. The Essential Point Technological fixes—whether online learning, AI, or banning cell phones—cannot mend what they helped fray: our capacity for human connection. True learning and creativity depend on empathy, direct experience, and social bonds.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Las legiones romanas fueron la fuerza militar fundamental de la antigua Roma. Simbolizaban su poderío y eran el recordatorio permanente de que el poder de Roma llegaba a todos los confines de su imperio. Su nombre deriva de “legio” (selección), y estaban compuestas por unidades de infantería y caballería. Fueron evolucionando desde simples milicias de autodefensa hasta convertirse en un ejército profesionalizado que conquistó territorios muy extensos desde Hispania hasta Mesopotamia. Aparte de eso, los legionarios construían infraestructuras, ejercían de policía y facilitaban la romanización ya que los legionarios a menudo se establecían en las provincias después de licenciarse. Durante los primeros siglos, los que se corresponden con la época monárquica, los legionarios eran ciudadanos que se equipaban por su cuenta y se organizaban en falanges de tipo griego rígidas y poco maniobrables. La reforma de Servio Tulio en el siglo VI a.C. introdujo el censo por clases económicas. Los reclutas pasaron a clasificarse por edad y riqueza. Los nobles iban a la caballería y los plebeyos a la infantería que se equipaba con lanzas y escudos. Con la llegada de la República cada cónsul comandaba dos legiones de unos 4.500 hombres. El sistema manipular reemplazó a la falange: manípulos de 120 soldados en tres líneas, una de infantería pesada, otra de infantería ligera y una tercera de caballería. Esta estructura les daba mucha flexibilidad y les permitía hacer rotaciones. En el siglo II a.C. Cayo Mario profesionalizó el ejército. Se empezó a reclutar a los pobres encargándose el Estado de equiparles. El servicio duraba 25 años, cobraban un salario y, tras licenciarse, les entregaban tierras. Se homogeneizó la infantería pesada y la legión básica pasó a estar formada por unos 5.000-6.000 hombres, en 10 cohortes subdivididas en 6 centurias de 80 legionarios, que, a su vez, se organizaban en “contubernia” de 8 hombres que compartían tienda y mula. Cada legionario cargaba unos 40 kilos de equipo. Ese sistema permitió a la república expandirse a gran velocidad ya que las legiones eran un ejército temible, bien organizado y con gran espíritu de combate. A finales del siglo I a.C. las legiones se estabilizaron en 28 unidades permanentes, estacionadas en las zonas fronterizas. En torno a ellas empezaron a nacer pueblos y ciudades. Octavio Augusto licenció veteranos con recompensas y creó la Guardia Pretoriana para proteger al emperador. Símbolos como el águila y los estandartes inspiraban lealtad entre sus miembros. Este fue el periodo dorado de las legiones. Su equipo básico estaba compuesto de la “lorica segmentata” (armadura segmentada), el “scutum” (escudo rectangular), el “pilum” (jabalina), el “gladius” (espada corta) y el casco imperial, también conocido como gálea. Las tácticas y el entrenamiento fueron mejorando hasta convertirse en las mejores unidades militares de su época. En el Bajo Imperio las legiones redujeron su tamaño. Aparecieron los “limitanei” apostados en las fronteras y los “comitatenses” que eran tropas móviles. Diocleciano reformó de nuevo el ejército incorporando “foederati" bárbaros que con el tiempo llegaron a capitanear las propias legiones. Su éxito fue tal que llegaron incluso a sobrevivir a la desaparición del imperio occidental y se mantuvieron durante un tiempo en el oriental hasta que el emperador Heraclio reformó el ejército bizantino. Para hablar de legiones romanas, de sus orígenes, de su evolución y de la importancia que tuvieron para Roma nos acompaña hoy nuestro querido Yeyo Balbás, que de todo lo relacionado con los ejércitos de la antigüedad sabe mucho.
