Transhumanism

A movement supporting the use of reason, science and technology to advance and enhance human abilities and existence under optimal conditions. Can be see as an extension of humanism, but with much more emphasis on the future. Transhumanists believe that we should try to overcome our biological limitations thru the use of such things as nanotechnology, cryonics, AI, mind uploading, space-time engineering, eugenics, and what not in order to become posthuman.

The goal of transhumanism to become more than human.

Lizard

1. A four legged reptile with external ear openings and movable eyelids. Some lizards can change color in response to their enviroment such as the Chameleon and Anole. Most lizards are harmless to humans, only very large ones such as the Komodo dragon can kill or injury you. Lizards feed on insects and plants. Most lay eggs but some give birth to live young. They are well known for being able to regrown lost tails and limbs.

The most popular lizards sold as pets are Iguanas, Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, and Monitor Lizards to name a few. They require more care then most exotic pets and need their cages cleaned frequently.

Red Shift

The reddening or decrease in frequency of light from distant galaxies due to the Doppler effect, indicating that they are moving away from us. The red shift can also take place via expansion of empty space, as in the expanding universe. The opposite of blue shift.

Most galaxies are red shifted, this tells us that our universe is expanding.

Multiverse

The hypothesis in which our universe turns out to be one among an enormous number of seperate and distinct universes that have evolved down though the aeons. Most universes are dead and uninteresting. Only a tiny subset do the laws of physics promote the emergence of stars, planets and life.

There is nothing special about the status of our universe within the infinity of universes that constitute the multiverse.
