Ep 20: To Energy Infinity and Beyond our Civilisation

A chat by Engineers over a Beer.Space is the pinnacle of the engineering world (at least we think). Space is also still very unknown but what you may not realise is how small we are as a civilisation. Harnessing the power of dark matter and the sun (no, not solar panels) is one of the early stages of the Kardashev scale, and we aren't even halfway there yet.

Maybe an elevator into space?If you like what you hear, consider subscribing to the podcast and following us on our socials:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EngineeringDadYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EngineeringDadsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EngineeringDadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/engineering.dads/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@engineering.dads Hosted on Acast.
