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.
0:10.0	To hear it and every episode early and add free, plus hours of bonus content, check
0:15.0	out go.nebola.t.v.tv slash Isaac Arthur, and use my code, Isaac Arthur.
0:20.0	This episode is sponsored by Brilliant.
0:23.3	As futurists, we love to think about the technologies that will enhance the lives of our distant descendants.
0:28.9	It's easy to forget, though, that there will be some pretty amazing technologies will actually live to see.
0:47.2	Yeah. to see. While the show tends to spend a lot of its time in the far future, today we'll be looking at technologies more on the near horizon, from automated vehicles to improvements in medicine,
0:52.8	to space technologies and many more.

1:23.2	so we'll run a poll over on our community tab for some of those and see which one most

1:35.1	about how far off it is and what sort of impacts it might have in our civilization.
