How Anti-Matter Spacecraft Will Work — There may be a Bizarro World in our universe. Every particle has a mirror image with a reverse electrical charge, and when these opposites meet an energy transfer 300 times stronger than nuclear fusion occurs. Could this reaction power spacecraft?

RN Rear Vision - 6 July 2011 - The True Finns: populist politics and Euroscepticism in Finland
In April this year Finland went to the polls — and the right wing populist party, the True Finns, gained almost 20 per cent of the vote. This upset almost 30 years of consensus politics, and shows an upsurge in anti-European Union, anti-immigration, socially conservative values.

Aubrey de Grey on Singularity 1 on 1: Better Funding and Advocacy Can Defeat Aging
Last time I had Dr. Aubrey de Grey on Singularity 1 on 1 the interview turned out to be a hit. In fact it is still by far the most popular podcast that I have done and the audio file has been listened to or downloaded over 30,000 times.
Given Aubrey’s popular appeal and the importance of his work, it is no surprise that I am very happy to have him back for a second interview. However, please have in mind that this interview is aiming to supplement and not replace the first one. Thus, this time around we cover some topics that we did not have time to go over the previous time, so if you haven’t heard the first podcast you may want to begin here.
During this conversation I ask Dr. de Grey to discuss issues such as: the term natural death and its impact; the publicity and importance of two long-awaited documentaries about Ray Kurzweil – Transcendent Man and The Singularity is Near; traditional metabolic and more recent DNA tests such as the ones done by 23andMe and others; the slow developmental process of new drugs and therapies, and the problems of taking them from testing in lab rats to humans; the Thomas Malthus argument of overpopulation and Aubrey’s reply to it.
As always, you can listen to or download the audio above or scroll down to watch the video of the interview in full. Most importantly – don’t hesitate to let me know what you think… Check out his 2nd interview for www.SingularityWeblog.com

Mondo Diablo Episode 273: Anti-Vacc is BULLSH*T!
You have to wonder, "What the hell are they thinking," but you can’t put words in their mouths and mothers are sacred. Can you convince them that no one has died from prank tainted Halloween candy? Of course not. Because they are parents. And having children turns you into an insane person who is listened to by other insane people, the politicians, who govern our lives based on whatever batshit crazy thing parents are afraid of. Parental fear ruins everything. Stop having babies.

Reads the poem "Earth Your Dancing Place" by May Swensen. Reports on the sovereignty news: Dow Chemical’s NAFTA suit against Quebec for banning lawn pesticides, Zaproot’s videoblog, "Who Owns the Rain?"

Skeptoid: Vaccine Ingredients
From http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4180
Today we’re going to point our skeptical eye at some of the claims made by antivaccine activists, in particular, their lists of frightening chemicals and other dangerous toxins they say are included in vaccines. As it’s an important topic and is increasingly in the public eye, we don’t want to dismiss these claims out of hand. Rather, we want to have a handy working knowledge of the basics so we’re better prepared to deal with such rhetoric when it comes up.

Astronomycast 145: Interstellar Travel
In science fiction it’s easy to hop into your spaceship and blast off for other stars. But the true distances between stars, and the limits of relativity make interstellar travel almost impossible with our current technology. What would it really take to travel from star to star, exploring the galaxy?
