Send us a text and chime in!NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has released its most complete view of the starry sky to date, filling in gaps from previous observations. Nearly 6,000 colored dots scattered across the image show the locations of either confirmed or candidate exoplanets, worlds beyond our solar system, identified by the mission as of September 2025 at the end of TESS's second extended mission. “Over the last eight years, TESS has become a fire hose of exoplanet science,” said Rebekah Hounsell, a TESS associate project scientist at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland....   For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/nasa-satellite-spots-nearly-6000-possible-worlds/ Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

Серията Vox Nihili на Ratio Podcast и Предизвикай правото! изследва пресечните точки на науката и технологиите с етиката и правото, а също така и редица дискусионни теми от сферата на философията. Може би си спомняте, че имахме сходна серия събития на име Vox Nihili – сега ги пренасяме в аудио и видео формат. Любомир Бабуров, Александър Попов и Стоян Ставру обсъждат: - На колко години са Атрею и Бастиян? - Кой е върколакът Гморк и защо заедно с Пъстрата смърт Граограман могат да съперничат на образите на Сократ и Атинянинът в Платоновите диалози? - Как приказките се превръщат в лъжи и идеологии? - Каква е властта на приказката? - Може ли да се прочете „Приказка без край“ като път за справяне със скръбта? - Какво представлява „истинската воля“? - Как правото се отнася към детските желания? - Има ли грешни и правилни пътища и желания? - Какво представлява Градът на бившите царе и кой попада там? - Коя е най-голямата радост и как последното желание води към истинската воля? - Има ли край приказката и кой довършва приказките в света на Фантазия? - На къде ни води „колониалният“ прочит на „Приказка без край“ или как олелийците станаха галиматийци? - Каква е ролята на лошата вещица Ксайде и кои са изкушенията на „детската“ свобода? - Близнаци ли са правото и литературата? - Какви са връзките на „Приказка без край“ с други популярни и влиятелни детско-юношески романи? Романът „Приказка без край“ на Михаел Енде поставя едни от най-дълбоките философски въпроси за въображението, идентичността и смисъла на човешкия свят. Историята започва с момче на име Бастиан, което открива мистериозна книга. В нея се разказва за страната Фантазия – приказен свят, който е заплашен от унищожение от мистериозна сила „Нищото“. Постепенно става ясно, че съдбата на този свят зависи от самия читател. Бастиан трябва да влезе в историята и да даде ново име на Детската царица, за да спаси Фантазия. Основен за романа е проблемът за силата на въображението. Фантазия съществува благодарение на човешките мечти и истории, а Нищото се появява, когато хората престанат да вярват, да сънуват и да създават смисъл. Наред с проблема за границата между реалност и разказ, „Приказка без край“ поставя е редица въпроси, касаещи естеството на човешките желания и начина превръщането им в „истинска воля“.

In the mid 1700’s, a French author, Voltaire, wrote a biting satire that has remained a classic piece of literature ever since. The novel, Candide, is about a student who is continually beset by all kinds of horrific disasters. It’s basically a buddy comedy in which the kid’s super-upbeat tutor keeps encouraging him, by saying, “All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.” It’s kind of today’s equivalent of advising a kid in a disadvantaged public school to, “follow your dreams and anything is possible.” The fact is, if you’re a high school kid from an economically disadvantaged background, and you’re in a not-so-great public school, it’s going to take a lot more than a positive attitude to succeed after you graduate. That’s the harsh reality that drives a ground-breaking New Orleans organization called YouthForce NOLA. YouthForce NOLA partners with every public school in New Orleans to form a bridge between the schools and local businesses. They provide kids with internships that give them real world experience. Kids and business owners, who wouldn’t normally know each other existed, get to meet and mutually benefit from their association. YouthForce NOLA can quote all kinds of statistics that explain why its operating model is spreading across the country, but this one set of numbers tells the story: since 2015 around 2,000 young people have earned over $3 million in paid internships - and 99% have continued on to college or a career. The Founder and CEO of YouthForce NOLA is Cate Swinburn. Along with YouthForce NOLA, there are a lot of organizations whose sole purpose is helping people. These organizations are generally grouped under the banner, “non- profit.” A non-profit business doesn’t have to pay federal taxes. They’re mostly exempt from property taxes. They have access to grant funding. They can receive donations that are tax deductions for the donor. And there are a whole bunch of other benefits too. But, - and there’s always a “but” when it comes to what looks like easy money – these non-profit business have to jump through a bunch of bureaucratic hoops and comply with all kinds of regulatory requirements to retain their legal definition of a 501(c)3 business. Other purpose-driven organizations that raise and spend money for reasons other than making a profit – like foundations and public entities – also have unique requirements. Here in New Orleans there’s a company whose business is maximizing the efficiency of all these types of organizations. It’s called Trepwise. It’s Founder and CEO is Kevin Wilkins. Kevin brought the original incarnation of Trepwise to Out to Lunch in 2016. The Bottom Line The term “the bottom line” is derived from accounting. It refers to the last line of a balance sheet in which you’re left staring at an incontrovertible fact – you’ve either made money or lost it. Over the last few years we’ve come to know businesses that deal in what’s called a triple bottom line. The three P’s of the triple bottom line are, Profit, People, and Purpose. In other words, there can be more to business than making money. Cate Swinburn and Kevin Wilkins are great examples of people who have proven skills in making profits, but who choose to add people and purpose to their professional lives. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

The third and final installment of our Beast Week series with our friends at TWOAPW. Listen to the full episode at www.patreon.com/killthecomputer  

Philosophy has always been drawn to the question of what's possible, what could be, what might have been, and what we might yet become. In a political moment when the distance between the world as it is and the world as we want it to be feels especially stark, the tools philosophers use to navigate that gap — thought experiments, counterfactuals, ideal theory, and fiction — have never felt more urgent or more contested. Whether we're arguing about moral responsibility, political justice, or the meaning of a science fiction novel, we're constantly invoking worlds that don't (yet, or never did) exist. But how well do those imaginary worlds actually serve us?When is a simplified, stripped-down scenario a useful device for isolating what we really believe, and when does it smuggle in the assumptions we already had? If we ask what the world would look like had one historical event gone differently, are we doing philosophy or just indulging in fantasy causality? When we imagine an ideal world from scratch, does it illuminate what justice requires, or does the very act of abstraction guarantee that we'll leave out what matters most?In this episode, Leigh, Jen, and Bob take up possible worlds as a question about philosophical methodology itself. What are philosophers actually doing when they reach for thought experiments, counterfactuals, ideal theory, and fictional worlds? And are those tools fit for the work we ask of them?Grab a drink and join us as we test the limits of philosophical imagination — and ask whether the worlds we invent help us see this one more clearly, or let us off the hook too easily.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/possible-worlds---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

In this much needed episode of mothers talking, Natalie (author of Why Home Birth Matters) chats to Alex Smith.  Alex Smith has been a childbirth educator since the 1970s and an observer of the changing attitudes to childbirth during that time. She has had the privilege of attending many home births and believes that this is probably the only setting where truly physiological birth is able to unfold. She regards the rapid escalation of induced labour and caesarean birth as an ecological issue with consequences for mankind that are as grave as the melting ice floes. As a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Alex wants to see the winds of change shift in a way that will allow future generations of women to have restored faith in the natural process of birth - secure in their trust that medical resources are at hand, if needed, but as a safety net and not a conveyor belt. This deep dive into the history of birth and how it has shaped maternity care today, is as fascinating as it is reassuring especially about how safe birth actually is when you can trust it.  If you're wondering how to trust yourself when faced with the challenges of the maternity system, well you can use Alex's simple but very effective traffic light system... Thank you so much to Alex for this wonderful episode. AIMS (Association for Improvements in Maternity Services) https://www.aims.org.uk/ Natalie's website where you can buy her books, Why Home Birth Matters and How to Have a Baby www.nataliemeddings.com   As always, thanks for listening.

What are possible worlds? Could you have been born to different parents, and could an object be both completely green and completely red? Barry Lam explains how David Lewis's views on possible worlds can help us understand everything from time travel to the nature of who we are.

In this deep and often humorous debate, Barry Loewer of Rutgers and Eddy Chen of UC San Diego clash over the very nature of physical reality. Are the laws of nature real, mind independent constraints that shape what's possible or are they human made descriptions of observed patterns? Together they explore metaphysics, causation, probability, and whether the universe is truly ruled by anything at all. A must watch for anyone questioning the foundations of science itself.

Тези и много други въпроси, поставени около жанровата специфика на анит-дистопиите, са в основата на днешната ни среща.

Последние и первые люди: История близлежащего и далёкого будущего (англ. Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future) — первый и (наряду с «Создателем звёзд») наиболее известный научно-фантастический роман Олафа Стэплдона, самая масштабная из созданных когда-либо историй будущего. Написан в 1930 году под влиянием идей футурологического эссе (также являющегося историей будущего) генетика Джона Холдейна «Страшный суд: взгляд ученого на будущее человечества» (The Last Judgement: A Scientist's View on the Future of Mankind, сборник Possible Worlds and Other Essays, 1927). Хотя роман содержит большое для своего времени количество новых фантастических идей (многие из которых оказали влияние на творчество других фантастов), основной целью автора была демонстрация эволюции человеческого разума и духа. Перевод на русский и издание в России были осуществлены только в 2004 году.

Последние и первые люди: История близлежащего и далёкого будущего (англ. Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future) — первый и (наряду с «Создателем звёзд») наиболее известный научно-фантастический роман Олафа Стэплдона, самая масштабная из созданных когда-либо историй будущего. Написан в 1930 году под влиянием идей футурологического эссе (также являющегося историей будущего) генетика Джона Холдейна «Страшный суд: взгляд ученого на будущее человечества» (The Last Judgement: A Scientist's View on the Future of Mankind, сборник Possible Worlds and Other Essays, 1927). Хотя роман содержит большое для своего времени количество новых фантастических идей (многие из которых оказали влияние на творчество других фантастов), основной целью автора была демонстрация эволюции человеческого разума и духа. Перевод на русский и издание в России были осуществлены только в 2004 году. Влияние на массовую культуру — многие произведения С. Лема (чрезвычайно высоко ценившего творчество Стэплдона) используют идеи и концепции из этой книги: роман «Непобедимый», рассказ «21 путешествие Йона Тихого», роман «Возвращение со Звезд», трактат «Сумма технологий». Отдельно стоит упомянуть роман «Осмотр на месте», в котором Лем предпринял попытку создать свой вариант истории будущего на основе идей об эволюции человечества конца XX века. Творчество Стэплдона Лем подробно анализирует в своей литературоведческой работе «Фантастика и футурология». — роман «Город» Клиффорда Саймака является своего рода интерпретацией идей Стэплдона в более мягком, гуманитарном ключе. Также заметно влияние Стэплдона в последнем итоговом романе Саймака «Магистраль вечности». — заметно влияние этого и других романов Стэплдона на творчество фантаста Джона Райта — на уровне сюжетов и философских концепций. В цикле «Золотой век» (2003) описана колонизированная и модернизированная солнечная система сверхдалекого будущего. В цикле «Последовательность Эсхатона» (2011-…) представлена детальная история будущего сопоставимых с романом «Последние и первые люди» масштабов. — эпизод с бессмертным мутантом из эпохи Первых Людей оказал влияние на целое направление в жанре фантастики. В качестве примера можно привести роман Пола Андерсона «Челн на миллион лет» (1989), рассказ Клиффорда Саймака «Грот танцующих оленей» и фильм «Человек с Земли» (2007). Сам Стэплдон позже развил этот сюжетный ход в романе о мутантах «Странный Джон» (1935). — роман Артура Кларка «Конец детства» (1953) основан на идеях из романа Стэплдона о телепатическом слиянии человечества в единый разум, способный контактировать с другими аналогичными разумами галактики. Также в этом романе аналогично представлена история близкого будущего человечества. Творчество Стэплдона оказало большое влияние на формирование взглядов Кларка на будущее человечества. — ирландский писатель-мистик и метафизик Шоу Десмонд написал под влиянием творчества Стэплдона роман «Рождение мира» (1938), где изложил свой вариант эволюции человечества. — в эпизоде сериала «Футурама» «The Late Philip J. Fry» иронично обыграны идеи Стэплдона и т. п. авторов о сверхдалеком будущем Земли и всей Вселенной.

Episode Overview Rob and Greg explore how the upcoming election could reshape the real estate industry, focusing on regulatory impacts, DOJ actions, and antitrust issues. They also discuss potential changes to industry practices and transparency in agent behavior. Key Topics 1. Election Predictions: • Friendly wager on election outcomes, with predictions on how results could shift real estate policies, especially through DOJ and FTC actions. 2. Antitrust Settlement and NAR Challenges: • Tanya Monestier's objections to the recent antitrust settlement, highlighting concerns over consumer confusion and potential loopholes that could benefit attorneys over consumers. 3. Future of Industry Regulation: • Speculation on how political shifts might influence NAR's regulatory environment and broker responsibilities. • The potential for new, transparent compensation practices led by industry figures like James Dwiggins. 4. Ethics and Agent Behavior: • Debate over real estate agent intentions, balancing consumer interests with profit motives, and the industry's response to Monestier's critiques. Key Takeaways • Election's Influence on Real Estate: Election outcomes may bring regulatory changes, with possible implications for NAR and antitrust enforcement. • Transparency and Trust in Agent Practices: Increased focus on clear buyer agreements and ethical practices to protect consumer trust.

On Ron's Amazing Stories we have a special story from the pages of Galaxy Magazine. Have you ever wondered what time travel could be like? Do you have visions of visiting the past to see events play out in real time? But, what if you had to go to the past and attempt to change a mistake to save the future? That is the dilemma that Mac Albin is faced with in the story Of All Possible Worlds written by William Tenn. This is a thought provoking story that should have you thinking, “What If?” Also, on the program we will review an Audible Original Podcast called The Safe Man. It comes from New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly, and is a riveting detective story, nail-biting heist thriller and a supernatural mystery all rolled into one. One of the best productions I have encountered. Featured Story - Of All Possible Worlds Our featured story has to be one of the most probable outcomes on time travel I have ever heard. Time travel provides writers with mounds of possibilities to contrast with their own daily grind. The very concept of time is one of the strangest and most mind-boggling because time relates to all things. The story comes from the pulp fiction Galaxy Magazine September issue of 1956. It explores a future with too many possibilities. It is titled Of All Possible Worlds and was written by William Tenn.

I've often told my students (and you've probably heard in this podcast) that we're living in the best of all possible worlds.  A student asks how this could be.  I talk through this, including why there is suffering, and how we view the life that God has given us.

In such a broken world, many question why God chose the means He did to achieve His purposes. We may even praise God for who He is, but we wonder if all the evil in the world was truly necessary. Pastor Lutzer considers whether evil could eventually contribute to God's glory. What if we could see from the standpoint of eternity? This episode was originally published February 25, 2019 as “The Attributes of God | Week 6: Wise.”

The problem of evil is constantly nagging at the conscience. Dr. Paulson addresses some harmful ways the question "why does evil exist?" has been answered by Christians. This time, he addresses the idea that evil is a lesser-good that is used to form our character.  Show Notes: Support 1517 1517 Podcasts The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 on Youtube What's New from 1517: Free 2023 Advent Resources Faith and Reason Exchange @ 1517.org 2023 HWSS Conference Livestream Signup Join the 1517 Academy Faith in the Face of Tyranny More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Pauslon  

Set, ostensibly, in revolutionary France, The Future Future follows Celine from young womanhood as she navigates the shifting landscape—which is being transformed as much by new media, new ways of doing business, and the discovery of new territories, as by the various political insurrections. It is a novel about how women survive in a world wrought by male violence, about language—how it shapes us and how we're shaped by it—about friendship, about power, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, given the title: about time.Buy The Future Future: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/the-future-futureAdam Thirlwell was born in London in 1978. The author of three previous novels, his work has been translated into thirty languages. His essays appear in the New York Review of Books and the London Review of Books, and he is an advisory editor of the Paris Review. His awards include a Somerset Maugham Award and the E. M.

My guest this week is Rachel Handley, a teaching fellow in philosophy at Trinity college Dublin, and author of a recent collection of sci-fi short stories entitled Possible Worlds and Other Stories. The book is a fun exercise in multiverse building that scratches that meta-itch a lot of us have, but it also has some lovely touching human moments. We discuss why possible worlds are having a moment, the gendered history of possible worlds, and a few of Rachel's possible worlds that I enjoyed so much.Convocation: NoneRachel's Website: https://rachelhandleyphilosophy.weebly.com/Music by GW RodriguezSibling Pods:Philosophers in Space: https://0gphilosophy.libsyn.com/Filmed Live Musicals Pod: https://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/thepodcast.htmlSupport us at Patreon.com/EmbraceTheVoidIf you enjoy the show, please Like and Review us on your pod app, especially iTunes.
