Traversing Outside Our Solar System
Origins & Evolution
03/10/21 • 16 min
This exciting episode covers the threat of cosmic radiation within our solar system vs. within our greater galaxy (once we have left the bounds of our cozy little star system.) We discuss high energy particle damage and the deleterious effects it can inflict upon our DNA strands. In addition, neutron stars, pulsars and the dangerous particles created by supernovas will be covered, followed by how to shield our bodies (during space travel) from ultra high energy protons!
Cancer and Evolution Part 2
Origins & Evolution
12/16/20 • 26 min
This is the second part of our Cancer and Evolution Symposium discussion. Our fifth episode covers some of the current and future therapeutic strategies that are being used in the fight against cancer. Also, we discuss electroceuticals, or drugs that polarize ion channels, and their potential role in treating rogue cancer cells.
Light Sails, Moon Artifacts & Cosmic Archives
Origins & Evolution
10/19/21 • 22 min
On this week of Origins & Evolution, we discuss moon artifacts which are millions and billions of years ago. How did they get there?
