Today on Far Future Horizons we explore the concept of energy. Energy is the driving force of the Cosmos. It is the very stuff of matter, life and mind. Energy can neither we created nor destroyed but, only transformed from one form of energy into another. Law of Conservation of Energy Ours is a universe … Read more
Today on Far Future Horizons we take a close look at the most pervasive yet the weakest force in the Universe. It is an attractive force between all matter and is very weak as compared to the other forces of nature. In this episode of The Universe, we will investigate the role gravity played in … Read more
Today on Far Future Horizons we seek to understand the life force that is the impetus of our technological civilization – Electricity. Our technological civilization depends on electricity, on the electrons in motion within copper wire. Electrons flow through countless switches and machines not unlike water through aqueducts and canals. Electricity also flows through our … Read more
Today on Far Future Horizons we present the fourth and final episode of Dr. Brian Greene’s acclaimed NOVA documentary series the Fabric of the Cosmos. This instalment explores the possibility that the Universe, in which we live, is but one of an infinite multitude of Universes that make up an infinite Multiverse. Universe or Multiverse Hard as … Read more
More than likely it didn’t. So then what? Is the universe cyclic, with no known beginning?

You can read more about Penrose’s conformal cyclic cosmology theory at Wikipedia. What If the Universe … Read more
Well, that’s good to hear, you know, just in case I get in a plutonium-powered DeLorean and get shot back in time, I WON’T have to make sure my parents find each and get married so I can be born. Hell, I could even kill my grandfather. Time Travel Simulation Resolves “Grandfather Paradox” What would … Read more
Today on Far Future Horizons we present the last instalment of the acclaimed series Atom presented by Professor Jim Al-Khalili. Today we join the good professor as he explores how studying the atom forced us to rethink the nature of reality itself. He discovers that there might be parallel universes in which different versions of us … Read more
Today on Far Future Horizons we once again make a foray into the microverse of the atom with the second installment of British theoretical nuclear physicist Professor Jim Al-Khalili’s exciting documentary television series Atom. The discovery that everything is made from atoms has been referred to as the greatest scientific breakthrough in history. This episode … Read more
