The world to come
Double Up Studio for Vox Earth’s population passed 8 billion this month — now what? Plus: the rise of an anti-vaccine America, the looming dangers of superintelligent AI, the shifting landscape of higher ed, and more. This month, the 8 billionth human was born. But that number can elide a sobering fact: Population trends in many parts of the world have been dipping, even as growth is still robust in much of the Global South. It’s a phenomenon that will, as much as any other trend, shape the future. That future is the loose theme of this edition of The Highlight, created by the Fu... read more

The incredible shrinking future of college
Violeta Encarnacion for Vox The population of college-age Americans is about to crash. It will change higher education forever. In 2021, Shippensburg University won the NCAA Division II Field Hockey championship, completing an undefeated season with a 3-0 victory over archrival West Chester. The “Ship” Raiders also won it all in 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2013, which I know because I saw it written in big letters on a banner festooning the fieldhouse on Ship’s campus in south-central Pennsylvania when I visited last month. Ship was in fine form. Young men and women wearing logoed Cha... read more

Are 8 billion people too many — or too few? 
Violeta Encarnacion for Vox Welcome to the population paradox of the 21st century. On November 15, 2022, according to the demographers at the United Nations Population Division, the 8 billionth person on the planet was born. That 8 billion mark is an estimate — there is no real-time census of everyone alive on Earth at every given moment, which means there’s a margin of error on either side of 8 billion. But someone will be or already is Baby 8 Billion. He or she is most likely to be born in India, which had more than 23 million births last year — 13 million more than second-pla... read more

Meteorites May Have Brought Water to Earth and Mars
The truth is that i am unconvinced. This meteorite has contained water just as our crust has. Again we are presuming an assembly taking place in the early days. So all things been equal, Venus should have massive amounts of atmospheric water at the least. Now imagine a hydrogen atmosphere reducing oxygen from the rock under high temperatures, in a cooling rock mass. A lot more possibility then I do suspect that Cloud Cosmology starts with a massive supply of hydrogen that is eliminated by the schochemistry of oxygen. This suggests that Venus may still retain any water deep i... read more
