Episode 695: Q&A 130: Does the Dark Forest Explain the Fermi Paradox? And More...
b'
In this week\'s questions show, I talk about the Dark Forest theory in the Three-Body Problem series of books. Is it a compelling answer to the Fermi Paradox? How much of a risk is dust to interstellar travel? Is black hole evaporation negated by black holes absorbing additional material and energy?

\\n08:24 Are black holes gaining mass faster than they\'re evaporating?
\\n10:07 Is abiogenesis happening right now?
\\n13:47 How do we calculate the habitable zones around other stars?
\\n15:45 How close can binary stars be and still be habitable?
\\n17:50 Could we find debris in the Lagrange Points?
\\n19:27 Can gravitational waves let us see past the CMB?
