Living in a Computer Simulation

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!

Stephen Hawking once said that the rise of AI would spell the end of humanity. In this episode of Beyond Human, Neel talks about developing super intelligence as we live in a world controlled by artificial intelligence. But how did we let this happen? Will we be able to survive or is this the end of humans? Let's find out!

In this episode of Beyond Human, Dhriti talks about the future of humanity. What will humans look like in 10,000 years? What about in 1 million years? Will we look like aliens or cyborgs? Umm...probably not. But we'll definitely look different than we do now.  How would we evolve? How long would evolution take? Would we be able to survive? Let's find out!

Beyond Human is a sci-fi audio podcast narrated by Dhriti Shah and Neel Shah that talks about alien life, artificial intelligence, black holes, time travel and more. Dhriti and Neel are insanely curious individuals who are inspired by the beautiful world that we live in. They have a deep fascination with physics, cosmology, the universe and the future of humanity. But the problem is, most people believe that science is too difficult and complicated for them to understand. But they don’t think that’s the case. They think it’s a glorious time to be alive and to understand and appreciate our Universe. Their mission is to engage, hold and arouse your attention through remarkable tales that leave one pondering the magnificent vagaries of life and the Universe, the beauty of nature and chance, or the sturdiness of spirit and flexibility of mind-both of man or beast. They aim to bring the marvel of these narratives to the consciousness of the readers and hope that these inspiring tales make us look to the skies rather than to the ground as we all sit on a treasure trove of untold wonders known as our world.  So join them on a trip through time, space and chance as they explore everything that is ‘Beyond Human’.
