Description: Robots are doing it for themselves.
Implausible Engineering – Episode 2a: Brain in a robot
In a step towards technoevolution and potential immortality that some future generation of humanity will develop the ability to transfer their brains into robot bodies and hence have prolonged if not immortal lives.
Implausible Engineering – Episode 2b: Evolving into robots
As we like to discuss on Cheap Astronomy us humans, like the dinosaurs and the trilobites and the blugreen algae are just steps in a meandering evolutionary pathway to nowhere particular. It’s not like the blue-green algae, trilobites or dinosaurs ever aspired to be something better, it’s just that some individuals with certain traits were more successful than others so they had more progeny and so on.
Bio: Cheap Astronomy offers an educational website where you’re only as cheap as the telescope you’re looking through.
