Ah yes, it’s that time of year when Apple Computer announces their latest offerings, the iPhone 17 series, the Apple Watch 11, Airpods Pro 3 and the  iPhone Air. Sadly our Apple buddy, Taylor Barcroft, had a recent stroke and is currently recovering in a rehab center in nearby Capitola.  But given the significance of this massive Apple event and Taylor deep love of their products, he rose to the occasion to give us his take on the near gear.  Of special interests are the potential health benefits of the new devices, including 24/7 monitoring of biosignals like heart rate variability and blood pressure.

We then branch into broader topics, such as the implications of AI on creativity and careers, discoveries in space exploration including the Voyager discovery of a solar system firewall surrounding us,  and the latest with I3/ATLAS, our latest interstellar object passing by us. We then get a bit philosophical on time, reality, and human imagination, interspersed with our lighthearted banter, personal anecdotes, and insights. Enjoy!

Listen now to 126 Future Now Show - Starfish Mystery

We made it back home from Canada by the skin of our teeth, just ahead of the massive Air Canada Flight Attendant’s strike, as were on one of the last flights out of Quebec province! <whew!> While in Canada we created some interviews for our show (see last two weeks shows), and now that we are back we’ll catch up on some significant Dr. Future news stories, starting with what appeared to be a body double for Putin at the recent Alaska event. Really? We look at the evidence..  Lots of space news this week, with the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object still making headlines, and Bezo’s Blue Origin readying their giant rocket, New Glenn, to launch it’s first payload to Mars. Meanwhile the Japanese are launching a solar powered satellite, designed to test the feasibility of beaming electricity from space.  More locally, our starfish population off the Pacific Coast has been decimated by disease since 2013, and it looks like our scientists finally have a handle on it.  Now how can we save these creatures from further suffering? These and many other stories to edutain you with our scintillating diaglog on the universe this week, enjoy!
