Looking to the Far Future, Best of TWT

[This program first aired April 7, 2008.]

Topics:

• Here's the complete text of the H.G. Wells classic, The Time Machine.
• How will the MOSH ("mostly original substrate humans" - which means normal, unenhanced humans) fair in the future? Phil has published some thoughts.
• Michael Darling shares that the Star Trek:TNG episode "Ship in a Bottle" is his favorite.
• Stephen is impressed with his new iPod Touch. In addition to being a music/movie player, it's a wifi device. You can download music directly from iTunes without a computer. It's got a direct link to Youtube and google maps. You can get your email. It's the iPhone without the phone.
• Stephen believes that the best answer to the Fermi Paradox is that we are, probably, the only intelligent life in this galaxy. George Dvorsky has a great blog post on the subject.
• On the other hand, Phil may have found extraterrestrial life in his own backyard.
