Exploration
The "Exploration" radio show is an hour-long science program heard nationally. Exploration covers the world of science, war and peace, and the environment. The show has commentary and interviews with top scientists and environmentalists.
This hour is about the origins of the human race, and where are we going if we can someday control the aging process?
In this episode, first Dr. Michio Kaku speaks with his guest, Dr. William Calvin, an American theoretical neurophysiologist and professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is known for popularizing neuroscience and evolutionary biology, including the hybrid of those two fields, neural Darwinism. He is the author of The Brief History of the Mind.
In the second part of the hour, Dr. Kaku speaks about the aging process with his guest Dr. Jay Olshansky. Olshansky is a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago concentrating on biodemography and gerontology. The science of the aging process has been defined as errors at a cellular level.
Do we have to die? Maybe not with genetic engineering.
Exploration is an hour-long radio program on science, technology, politics, and the environment. Topics covered include black holes, time travel, higher dimensions, string theory, wormholes, search for extra-terrestrial life, dark matter and dark energy, the future of space travel, genetic engineering, the aging process, the future of medicine, the human body shop, artificial intelligence, the future of computers and robots, as well as topics from science fiction.
