Summary

The galaxy contains countless billions of planets we might colonize, and we may build far more living area as space station habitats and megastructures, but Earth will always be unique and living here prized. Today we will see what we can do make Earth larger, by adding many layers of terrain in concentric spheres around us.

0:00.0	Hello, SFIA audio listeners. In this month's Nebula exclusive, Big Alien Theory,
0:05.0	we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge. To
0:10.6	hear it and every episode early and add free, plus hours of bonus content, check
0:15.3	out go.nebola.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur. This episode is sponsored by Brilliant.
0:24.0	We often worry about humanity running out of room to grow outward, and many suggest we might spread
0:30.2	out to new worlds, but perhaps we'll spread vertically first.
0:37.1	The vertically first.
0:46.0	So we return to the Earth 2.0 series to conclude our main arc by discussing Matriyoska
0:51.7	worlds, plants built of many concentric, spherical shells, like layers
0:57.0	of an onion, each its own planet or layer.
1:00.0	We'll be drawing on many of the concepts we've already discussed, such as artificial
1:05.0	islands, colonizing the depths of the oceans or underground, bringing life to barren deserts
1:10.0	and tundra, and even building cities
1:12.5	floating in the sky.
1:14.3	We'll also be drawing on technologies we've discussed in other series, like the active support
1:19.5	technologies of the Upward Bound series, but I thought we'd begin by reiterating a point
1:24.9	we made back in the Alcology's and Ekmonopolis episodes, which
1:28.9	is that you are unlikely to ever run out of space for people themselves on a planet, because
1:33.9	our real problem is coming up with the energy to support them and a way to get rid of the heat
1:39.2	generated in the process.
1:41.6	Incidentally, this is going to be one of our long episodes, or longer anyway, and one of the
1:47.0	ones where I necessarily have to reference previous topics we've covered, appropriately
