Have Space Suit - Will Travel
Space is often called the final frontier, a place of billions and billions of worlds awaiting explorers and pioneers. But what will those journeys be like, and what gear will people need for them, and perhaps most importantly of all, what sort of people will make those travels?

The Fermi Paradox contemplates reasons why in so an ancient and huge Universe we don’t see enormous alien civilizations everywhere, and the Great Filters approach tries to think of reasons why life, or intelligent life, is rare.

Antimatter is vastly more dangerous than even nuclear weapons, but warm temperature superconductors may allow it to be weaponized into man-portable machineguns that fired nukes with each shot.

China Brain Hive Minds
The China Brain thought problem suggests that if it is possible for a big enough computer to run an uploaded copy of a human mind, then a sufficiently large number of humans run calculations by hand could too. But if they did, would this represent a Hive Mind?
