  • "An epic exploration of possibilities. What If is a Webby Award-winning science web series that takes you on a journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities, some in distant corners of the universe,

The video at the provided URL discusses the concept of a Stanford Torus, a theoretical space habitat designed to house large populations in space. It explores how this massive, rotating wheel-shaped structure could provide artificial gravity through centrifugal force, allowing humans to live in space with conditions similar to Earth. The video likely covers the engineering challenges, potential benefits like resource utilization from space, and the speculative future where such habitats could become a reality, offering a solution to Earth's overpopulation and environmental issues. It might also touch on the cultural and societal implications of living in such environments, as well as the technological advancements needed to make this vision feasible.
