Future Now - The Glassy Water of Luna, The AI Genie is Bottle Free, Utopias Worth Considering, Big Solar Events, 1000 km Tesla Batteries

Listen to Future Now 3.28.2023

Early scientists thought the dark stretches of the moon might be oceans, called ‘marias,’ latin for sea.  Well, it turns out there is a lot of water on the lunar surface, not as oceans but stored in billions of glass beads strewn across the surface of the moon, 300 billion tons, according to one estimate, and relatively easy to harvest!

We look at the latest AI insights this week and gear up for an experiment with none other than Billy Sunshine and “Blows Against the Empire.” And if the AI’s can help make our dreams come true, what utopian world would be to our liking? We look a couple of famous Utopias, H.G. Well’s “A Modern Utopia,” and Robert A. Heinlein’s “For Us, The Living.”

There is also a lot of solar activity happening in the next weeks and months and Bobby outlines some preparations for particle bombardment you may wish to consider.  If your phone starts acting crazy, try to tune into this episode before it fritzes out. 

And there is really  a battery breakthrough happening, to be released with new Teslas later this year, batteries that can last a thousand kilometers, and charge faster! The CATL batteries may soon be in many other EV’s as well. Fasten your seatbelts and ENJOY the ride!

Hi folks, welcome back! We have just made the transition from KSCO to Santa Cruz Voice, and are still  in the process of setting up the new studio. Hence, few breaks for news, traffic, ads, etc., at least at this point. We expect you will see improved production values as we move forward with our transition. Meanwhile, I think you’ll enjoy this week’s offerings of future news and will appreciate our analysis of the balloon shoot downs of late, what a fiasco! And the Sun itself breaking off a piece, are you kidding? Reminds of a joke newscaster saying, “Earth Cracks in Half, Details at 11!” Only in this case, its real, and we can prove it! Enjoy..

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!
