SpaceX is set to launch Fram2 on Monday, March 31, at 9:46 p.m. ET from Launch Complex 39A at NASAâs Kennedy Space Center. If needed, additional opportunities extend through the early hours of April 1. This mission is unlike any beforeâit will take humanity to a polar orbit (90° inclination) for the first time! đâš
đ°ïž What Makes Fram2 Special?
đ„ First-ever human spaceflight to a true polar orbit.
đšâđ All four astronautsâWang, Mikkelsen, Rogge, and Philipsâare first-time space travelers.
đ©» First medical X-ray taken in space.
đ Microgravity experiments, including mushroom cultivation.
đȘ Independent crew exit post-splashdownâpushing the limits of astronaut endurance.
đ Falcon 9 and Dragonâs Role.
This mission will push the boundaries of Falcon 9 and Dragonâs ascent profile, showcasing the precision and power of SpaceXâs GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) systems. After liftoff, the first stage booster will return to the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean. The Dragon capsule has a rich history, having previously flown on Crew-1, Inspiration4, and Polaris Dawn.
Fram2 is more than just a missionâitâs a bold step toward the future of space exploration. With 22 research experiments, including studies on human health in space, exercise physiology, and radiation exposure, this flight will pave the way for long-duration missions beyond Earth orbit.

âThe meaningful difference,â argues Silverstein, âcomes down to our lifespan. For humans, our mortality defines so much of our experience. If a human commits murder and receives a life sentence, we understand what that means: a finite number of years. But if a UI with an indefinite lifespan commits murder, what do life sentences mean? Are we talking about a regular human lifespan? 300 years? A thousand? Then thereâs love and relationships. Letâs say you find your soulmate and spend a thousand years together. At some point, you may decide you had a good run and move on with someone else. The idea of not growing old with someone feels alien and upsetting. But if we were to live hundreds or thousands of years, our perceptions of relationships and identity may change fundamentally.â
âOne of the bestâ because â in addition to having a well-crafted, suspenseful, and heartfelt narrative about love and loss â thoughtfully engages with both the technical and philosophical questions raised by its cerebral premise: Is a perfect digital copy of a personâs mind still meaningfully human? Does uploaded intelligence, which combines the processing power of a supercomputer with the emotional intelligence of a sentient being, have a competitive edge over cold, unfeeling artificial intelligence? How would uploaded intelligence compromise ethics or geopolitical strategy?
âUnderratedâ because was produced by â and first aired on â AMC+, a streaming service that, owing to the dominance of Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, and Amazon Prime, has but a fraction of its competitorsâ subscribers and which, motivated by losses in ad revenue, ended up canceling the showâs highly anticipated (and fully completed) second season in exchange for tax write-offs. Although has since been salvaged by Netflix, [âŠ] its troubled distribution history resulted in the show becoming a bit of a hidden gem, rather than the global hit it could have been, had it premiered on a platform with more eyeballs.
Still, the fact that managed to endure and build a steadily growing cult following is a testament to the showâs quality and cultural relevance. Although the concept of uploaded intelligence is nothing new, and has been tackled by other prominent sci-fi properties like Black Mirror and Altered Carbon, is unique in that it not only explores how this hypothetical technology would affect us on a personal level, but also explores how it might play out on a societal level. Furthermore, take is a nuanced one, rejecting both techno-pessimism and techno-optimism in favor of what series creator Craig Silverstein calls âtechno-realism.â
Physicist revisits the computational limits of life and Schrödingerâs essential question in the era of quantum computing

More than 80 years ago, Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered a series of public lectures at Trinity College, Dublin, which eventually came to be published in 1944 under the title âWhat is Life?â
Now, in the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, Philip Kurian, a theoretical physicist and founding director of the Quantum Biology Laboratory (QBL) at Howard University in Washington, D.C., has used the laws of quantum mechanics, which Schrödinger postulated, and the QBLâs discovery of cytoskeletal filaments exhibiting quantum optical features, to set a drastically revised upper bound on the computational capacity of carbon-based life in the entire history of Earth.
Published in Science Advances, Kurianâs latest work conjectures a relationship between this information-processing limit and that of all matter in the observable universe.
This phenomenon did not surprise Harvard University professor and virtuoso theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, Ph.D., who is convinced AI will soon surpass anything the human brainâs flesh-and-blood machinery is capable of.
âWeâre just in the infancy of this era,â Loeb says. âIt will be essential for us as a species to maintain superiority, but it will illustrate to us that we are not the pinnacle of creation.â
In a blog post, Loeb ponders how advanced the artificial intelligence of hypothetical alien civilizations could have possibly grownâespecially civilizations that might have already been around for billions of years before anything vaguely humanoid appeared in the cosmos. What would the AIâs capabilities look like? What would be its limits? Are there even any limits left?

Could black holes, which are known as the most destructive forces in the universe, create conditions on nearby planets where life could exist? This is what | Space
Ringworlds are one of science fictionâs most imaginative megastructures, essentially it is a giant ring that serves as a biosphere for an entire civilization or ecosystem at the very least, with the inside surface serving as a habitable world. Or Imagine a ring so enormous that its inner surface area could be equal to literally millions of Earths! The surface is designed to mimic a planetary environment, complete with cities, forests, and oceans. The structure would either orbit around a star or if it is big enough it would encircle the star.
Using centrifugal force, its rotation is thus used to generate artificial gravity, while massive panels or âshadow squaresâ can be used to regulate light to create a day-night cycles. Obviously, contructing such a megastructure would require materials of super strength, far beyond anything currently known to exist and gathering resources for its construction could involve dismantling entire planets or asteroid belts. Can such things exist in reality? Maybe a higher tier alien civilization could make these, I donât know, but in science fiction, there are quite a few of them out here & so lets take a look at the Biggest 10 of these ringworlds.
