The Plot Against Gravity

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the final episode of the documentary series “Space’s Deepest Secrets” which will take us in search of the holy grail of astronautical engineering – Antigravity.

Scientific Proof That Santa Exists

Here's the Scientific Proof That Santa Exists That Even A Hard Boiled Skeptic Can Agree With!!! Merry Christmas One and All!!!

The Universe - Space Travel

Today on Far Future Horizons we are going to look at some revolutionary ideas about travelling in space, from spaceship designs to innovative methods of propulsion such as solar sails and laser beams. We will also take a look at antimatter as a power source and the possibilities of faster-than-light travel that could make the greatest dream of science fiction a reality. 


Our video feature for today is History Channel’s outstanding documentary series The Universe ~ Space Travel.

Star Trek - Secrets of the Universe

In order to honor the memory of Leonard Nimoy, we present today on Far Future Horizons the History Channel documentary Star Trek - Secrets of the Universe.

This documentary coincided with the release of the motion picture, Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), the very last motion picture which Leonard Nimoy starred in and where he reprised his role as Mr. Spock.

How to Explore the Universe in Style

Will such futuristic technologies as depicted in our favourite science fiction television shows ever become a real possibility?

Today on Far Future Horizons we join physicist Michio Kaku as he designs and unveils his plan for a way to explore the universe in style.

The key to its design is that staple of any great space adventure series - the warp drive. As any Star Trek fan knows the warp drive is the common name for various types of faster-than-light spacecraft propulsion systems, both fictional and hypothetical.

Can We Travel Faster Than Light?

Light speed is called the ultimate speed limit of the universe and humanity will always remain confined to the solar system because of it, leaving other star systems and other galaxies forever beyond our reach. Unless, that is we can break the light barrier or circumvent the laws of relativistic physics and find short cuts in the fabric of space-time in the form of White Holes and Wormholes. These are the cosmic gateways that theoretically can zip you across vast distances in the twinkle of an eye or take you on voyages to parallel universes and on journeys across vast eons of time.

The Universe ~ Science Fiction Science Fact

Today on Far Future Horizons we explore the very limits of science and the possible. Many of the technologies we take for granted today, such as space travel, transcontinental passenger aircraft, submarines and almost instantaneous global communication, once existed in the realm of speculative fiction. How many of the technologies which exist only in the realm of our best loved Sci-Fi television series will eventually become the reality of tomorrow?

The world of tomorrow is quickly becoming the futuristic world of today. While you may not be "beaming" to your next appointment, researchers are preparing for the first tests of a transporter. And while scientists have long mocked Hollywood's visions of warp speed a new generation of physicists continue to rewrite the fundamental rules of the universe. Is there a way around the cosmic speed limit – the speed of light?
