An Iranian cosmologist has recently suggested another way we could look for extraterrestrial life in our universe. Could it be, he wonders in a new paper (which appears now on the preprint site arXiv), that these advanced alien civilizations are using Dyson spheres around primordial black holes as a way to gather energy? And, if so, how could we look for the signs? His work makes some big assumptions that may not be justified, but this specific type of cosmology has always been a little far out—and it’s where the biggest insights can sometimes lie.

Shant Baghram is a physicist at the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran. His new paper, which is an unusual solo work in a long career of collaboration with colleagues and graduate students, is a quick-and-dirty introduction to ideas like SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), the Drake equation, and the Dyson sphere—all hallmarks of those who theorize about alien civilizations.

Many of the technologies that will define the future of space warfare are already in development. The problem facing the U.S. is that China is spearheading most of it.

Talk recorded live at CERN on 17 November 2022 during the second edition of the Sparks! Serendipity Forum at CERN. #CERNSparks.

There are many developments in the field of detection and imaging, and some are happening here at CERN — as Madgdalena Kowalska, a senior researchers explains.

Quantum computers hope to excel at solving problems that are too large, complex, or cumbersome for even the most powerful supercomputers, but many hurdles remain before they can be reliably put to commercial use. Here, we share an update on PsiQuantum’s approach, and recent progress towards useful, large-scale machines.

PsiQuantum co-founder \& Chief Scientific Officer Pete Shadbolt presents at the 2024 MIT EmTech conference in Cambridge, MA.

How do we actually create and manipulate qubits, essential for realizing quantum computation? Chief Scientist of Hardware Technology Development at Quantinuum, Patty Lee, joins Brian Greene to discuss various quantum strategies, their achievements to date and pathways forward.

This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
