Summary

In the future humanity will look to build new lives out among the stars, forging new worlds and megastructures for us to live on. But what about deep sea ecologies and aquatic life? What sort of habitats might we design for them?

0:00.0	Hello, SFIA audio listeners. In this month's Nebula exclusive, big alien theory,
0:05.2	we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge.
0:10.5	To hear it and every episode early and add free, plus hours of bonus content,
0:15.1	check out go.nebola.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur.
0:20.0	This episode is brought to you by Brilliant.
0:23.2	As we move into the future and expand off planets, we tend to design our megastructures
0:27.6	and habitats to our own bipedal land-based desires.
0:32.0	But what about our oceanic friends, like super smart dolphins, or if we find marine life
0:37.0	in the ocean moons of Jupiter, or if we
0:39.4	decide to re-engineer ourselves into more men and mermaids.
0:48.7	So one of our most talked about topics on this channel is the general concept that humanity
0:53.3	is likely to build giant space habitats as opposed to simply terraforming and colonizing other planets.
0:59.5	And today we will be discussing that notion in the context of building oceanic and aquatic
1:04.2	habitats in space.
1:06.5	We will introduce some new megastructures like a hydro shell, which allows truly huge aquatic
1:11.8	environments, dwarfing planets but avoiding crushing water pressures.
1:16.6	We'll be looking at this in terms of a few options for gravity, microgravity, gravity
1:21.4	simulated by rotation, natural gravity and artificial gravity, we will be looking at scales
1:27.3	from small habitats
1:28.5	up to planet-sized ones and even ones dwarfing planets in scope.
1:33.0	We'll also be looking at purposes, whether it's a civilization that's aquatic in nature or
1:37.7	it's more of a preserve, such as if we built large marine habitats as nature preserves rather
