Future News and Views - Quake Detection from Orbit, Marsquake update, New Earth Discoveries, Schroom Ologies, Bobby's hot Cold Tips, ChatGPT test, Speeding up the Singularity,

Listen Now to Future News 12.20.2022

Quaking and shaking before the holidays?  Only up North, but our early warning earthquake detector did wake us up at 2:30 a.m. to let us know to “Drop, Cover, and Hold on!!” Nothing happened, at least in our county. But it did get us thinking about quakes, early detection, and the Insight Lander, our seismometer on Mars, and the massive 4.7 quake it registered before the lander’s batteries died from the Martian dust covering its solar panels.

What new and exciting this week is the rollout of ChatGPT, an AI powered search engine on steroids that just might set the direction for future internet searches and explorations. We and some listeners try some queries, both scientific and poetic, to see how this latest tool performs. We are impressed! One caller is worried that our explorations may speed up the arrival of the mysterious “Singularity.” We, however, are unafraid, as we believe that there is only one oneness.  Enjoy!

Interview - Dr. Bruce Damer on the Origins of Life and on new Volcanism Discovery on Mars

Listen Now to Dr. Bruce Damer 12.05.2022

One of our science stories this week is about new discoveries of more recent volcanism on Mars, suggesting that a warmer climate there may have led to the creation of life there. We speak with evolutionary scientist Bruce Damer about the significance of these latest discoveries.  He also brings us up-to-date with his latest work with David Deamer and Francesca Carey, on the introduction of a new concept, ‘urability,’ a property of planets that can support the beginnings of life as we understand it. Bruce also speaks of his origin of life work at the Fly Hot Springs, a place we know, curiously, from visits to Burningman, and how AI can play a role in understanding our biological evolution. Enjoy!
