The end of the world is coming!
But it’s probably a really long way off…
Billions of years maybe…
But it might not be!
But if it is going to happen soon there’s really nothing you can do about
So why worry?
Yeah, you could maybe prepare and try to save yourself…
Live in the aftermath of civilized society,
roaming a dead planet with a handful of humans remnants…
But really, what is the point of that?
If the world can end abruptly and soon,
wouldn’t it be a better idea to start by identifying how that might happen,
and maybe
Try to prevent it?
And if history class has taught us anything
Science class is where all the real solutions are
And nowhere is that more obvious than
This Week in Science
Coming Up Next…
Let’s start with some quick science news
Future System
Captain Kirk beamed into orbit aboard a Blue Origin rocket today, and the James Webb Space Telescope has apparently made it to French Guiana. But, where will humanity be in 5 billion years? Living on a moon around Saturn? But, let’s also discuss space brain damage.
Just Good News
More good news about life on Earth… right?
Ancient Poop
People had refined palates based on fungi found in feces.
Water On Mars!
Well, not really, but evidence of ancient lake AND floods.
Climate Extinction
67% of African life went extinct during a past mass-extinction. But, life abides, and humanity is a result of those that survived.
Strange Space Signals
Is it a variable star near the galactic center? Researchers only have unpredictable radio signals to go on so far.
