BINARY NEUTRON STAR MERGERS with Gabriel Casobona, an American theoretical astrophysicist in the USA.

Gabriel Casabona, a theoretical astrophysicist who specializes in binary neutron star mergers. Gabriel first earned his bachelors in physics at Florida International University and then completed his masters at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he began his research looking into a specific class of supernova known as type IA.

Currently he is working on his PhD at Northwestern University using extremely high tech and sophisticated computational techniques and simulations to study binary neutron star mergers. By carefully studying the nuclear physics in addition to where the elements within our universe came from, allows him to more carefully study the physical processes of neutron stars and supernovas.

TRANSHUMANISM with Peter Xing, a Chinese Transhumanist in Australia. 

When one hears the word transhumanism, what is it that comes to mind?  Transcending what are thought to be our biological limitations is something that has been both a topic of interest and debate for decades.  With the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence, we have feared that we may become obsolete in various ways.  

However, the research in transhumanism has looked into such topics in addition to looking for ways for us to transcend our limitations were the shadow of artificial intelligence will no longer hover over us.  

Peter Xing, Ted X speaker and advisory committee of singularity university in Australia has looked into such matters and shares his knowledge with us on transhumanistic development
