Beyond Human: An Exploration Through Time & Space Neel Shah

In this episode of Beyond Human, Neel talks about the end of the universe. What if all the stars disappeared tomorrow? Together with all the planets, solar systems and galaxies? Let's find out.

In this episode of Beyond Human, Dhriti talks about something that is almost as old as the Universe, and as massive as 34 billion Suns. Behold, the great and powerful black hole. But what would happen if we came across a black hole and fell into one?  Let's find out!

In this episode of Beyond Human, Neel talks about alien life. There are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. And there might be many more in the universe that we can’t see. There are around 500 billion planets in the Milky Way alone, and at least 10 billion of them are Earth-like. All these planets, and yet, we’ve discovered exactly zero alien life forms. But what if we did? What if NASA announced that they found microbes in the oceans of Europa? Or ancient alien ruins on Venus? What would that mean to our human civilization here on Earth? Would we consider that good news at all? Let's find out!

In this episode of Beyond Human, Dhriti talks about time travel. What if the dimension of time was no different from the three dimensions of space we live in? What if we could travel to the past and to the future the same way we can move right or left up or down? Would we be able to change the past and if we did, would it create a time paradox? What kind of time machine would we need to build anyway? Let's find out!

In this episode of Beyond Human, Neel talks about interstellar travel. If we could travel through space faster than the speed of light, where would we go? Mars? The nearest star system - Alpha Centauri? Or to distant stars in far galaxies? How would we cover such vast distances? Let's find out!

In this episode of Beyond Human, Dhriti talks about the possibility of our reality being nothing more than a complex computer simulation. How would we know? What kind of technology would make this kind of simulation possible? Could we break out of the matrix? Let's find out!
